OK, let's do this one by one...

In the beginning you find a four-page book which nonsensical lines which turn into "a strange ornate urn" if you look through the light. Further in the passages you'll find strange colored spots (maroon, orange, violet, ochre) covering 1-8 indentations. It's an ordinary "color-by-number" puzzle. So I composed the maps and... oh dear, I hoped it will be a masterpiece I can print and hang on the wall.

Ah. I never figured out what those colored spots were all about, and I guess I never read that book.

ERIOSTHE CARRIAGEWAY: calculating its length and speed of the carriage

Easy. One map square is 5ft (stated several times in fire spell descriptions). The carriageway tunnel runs for about 520 squares. You can check it if you send the carriage to the opposite side before entering the subway... Electric eels are tasty, by the way, or are they just cut power cables, squirming on the wet floor? Whatever... When you travel in the carriage, you can notice the journey takes about a minute. So the length of the tunnel is 790 meters, and the speed is about 50 km/h. An ordinary subway, after all.

Just some self-deprecating poetry

* * *

I'm a little dog-swine critter
With my nose-ring Uukrul-bann'd.
I will hardly be permitted
Blasting beacons in the end.

But before your mighty Fshofth
Starts to send orkind aloft,
Out of there me could you bring
And return my Precious ring?

* * *
Poor pity Areth fiddled with a plaque.
The last of the fools he was (orkish: "Durak")
"What do they give?" me ask, "Is it a queue?
Then I'll be the last, 'cause I stand after you!"

Awesome game. Would be great to have a remaster like Bard's tale. Anyone here played the remastered bard's tale trilogy? I played the first one and enjoyed it a lot

How can I save this game?
While exploring or at a Sanctuary, you can press ESCAPE. This presents several Game Options. Save game will save the current game position and let you continue playing;
But in exploring mode Save game does NOT working.

EDIT: Hmmm, if I kill Dosbox then it saves the file.

My priest cannot invoke a prayer? Wut? Nothing happens or damaged.

Priests are less reliable than magicians, especially early game. However they are absolutely devastating late game. The Save function works just fine while exploring for me. If you choose to Restore your backup (from the Utilities section of the main menu) it will load the last time you saved at a sanctuary. Choosing Play Game from the main menu will load your exploration save if it's your most recent save.

Interesting, I cannot remember why I have never played this game. I have played (almost) all olde rpgs. Maybe because of the annoying code wheel. But now I have a crack to avoid it.

What is the solution for food consumption? I am running out of it quickly. Where can I get money?

There's a market area a short ways into the game where you can replenish rations. You get money from winning battles. There is a spell later that can replenish your rations.
