You can check your alignment by finding your class name on the main page (it's in the sidebar, near where your stats are). It'll sound like "images/human female novice" or something like that. Click on it, and it'll show you your bio page. This will tell you your level, plus show the gear you're wearing. You can click on "awards" to see profile achievements, or you can click on "info" to see how much you've lost and won, your alignment, all that jazz.

And yeah, I can confirm with NVDA+firefox that the game is accessible. Labels are a bit weird, but it's accessible enough when you know what to look for.

So, I am on the quest to find black alcohol, and I must confess, I'm stumped. I think I've been everywhere and still haven't found it. Is there something I need to do, get, etc.?  The quest said that it's in the darkest part, but each time I use the flask on dark rooms, I only catch empty air.

For the Black Alcohol quest, here's what you have to do

some
mild
spoilers

Go to 70-44 in the forest. There should be a stream there.
If it's between 10 pm and 2 am server time, you will see a message like "The stream appears to be running black" or some such. At that point, use your flask, and you should scoop up the alcohol.
The server is set to GMT-5 as far as I'm aware, so take that into consideration.

The forest is to the southeast. Its entrance is at 86-89 in the South of Cajar map. Don't go into the area at 82-93. That's the Southern grasslands, and it's much, much stronger.

As far as better gear? Check out the armour shop in Cajar for a better helm. Check out the merchant's guild for a leather vest or even a studded leather vest (which has a tiny HP bonus as well). You should be dual-wielding at this level just at the moment, since their equipment balance is a bit wonky. I suggest a blood-covered short sword in your main hand and either a basic wand (if you're a mage) or another blood-covered short sword (if you're melee). Bracers of Speed are good for now, and your starting amulet is all you're going to get.
At level 15, there will be a bunch of quests which open up in West of Cajar, and you can earn a few armour pieces (helm and shield and amulet first, then chestpiece later), which are all definite upgrades.

As far as where to fight: the farm is safe, the forest is a bit more dangerous but you might be able to handle it. Alternatively, kill Hellhounds, pixies and bandits in West of Cajar, but be cautious of ants. They're fairly easy to kill, but they hit too hard for their level and need balancing.

Been playing off and on for the last couple days, and something that keeps bothering me is the goofiness of the descriptions. I understand it might be boring to describe 200 something rooms, but that's no reason why you should be having my character do completely random things or not somehow integrating these random things into the game play. This is exacerbated by the fact that the builder seems to create in a specific direction, and expects the player to walk in that direction, so that if you start walking backwards through the area the descriptions are even more garbled.

I'm not asking for beautifully written 7-liners in each and every room, but I wish it could at least stick to the basic no god-modding, actual describing rules. At least don't make my character do stupid things without my consent, like standing in front of a suit of armor and whispering into its visor....

....OK maybe that one was actually funny, but still.

Also,,,, there are some items the game says I find after a battle, but that I don't actually see in my inventory. The medallion of nova is one, and the death essences in the mausoleum are another.

Glad to hear they at least get a little better, even if I don't entirely agree with the story tile concept, haha. I did have another question I forgot to ask though, in regard to pets, how developed is the system? Are there pets available outside of the cajarian pet store? Do they have any form of progression, upgrades, etc? How powerful can they become?

Okay, two things.

First, pets are pretty basic. I'd not bother, were I you. They'll probably overhaul this one day, but at this point they're basically just meat shields that can do some damage if trained properly. Issue is, if they do damage in a fight, they'll use some of the experience from that fight to level, which means it's experience you yourself don't get. Kind of silly.

Regarding the gem/getting back to town, you're only partially right. If you used your mystic portal gem to get back to town, then there's a portal sitting in the town square waiting for you to use it. If you use it (to return to wherever you made it), then the portal disappears. As your level and wisdom increase, you will be able to hold more portals open. If you want to know which portals you have open, just return to the Cajar town square to check that out.
Alternatively, you can buy items called Town Portal, which will do the same as a mystic portal gem but which aren't limited by your wisdom. You use the item, it creates a portal to Cajar and you go through it, leaving the portal open in the town square. They're available from Mandy's in the southeast quadrant of the city.
Mystic portal gems, by the way, can shatter if used too much. I've had one last months, and then I've had one explode after the third use, so it's kind of random.

If you can open the collapsible menu called "links", it's in there.

Alternatively, it's at the following URL:

My main character in the game is Karakarn, so if you see that name, it's me. Other characters I own are Airyn, Mrysswyth, Ordeith and Eldred, so if you're on and need help, feel free to hit me up in chat or send me a mail.

Thank you for the link.
It seems I cannot find the menu "Links".
I wonder why.
