90s RPGs can be very obtuse sometimes. How were we supposed to know without looking it up that "the cave east of town" means "go west, then south, so you can come around back northeast and reach a hidden cave" instead of "head east and go into the cave" (you can't) or "find some secret way further into the tiny cave that's on the east side of this town that someone's running an armor shop out of" (there isn't one)?
