As far as I can remember, you have to do both quests at the same time, since Adkin will ask you to get Garrick's eyes (aka kill him). You have to complete Garrick's quest first, get an eye potion from some girl and give it back to Adkin, and after I can't remember.

Just to say that yes, it is possible, since I have managed it myself some time before.

That's totally what I did, but there was no "train me in dodge master now" dialogue option at the end of it.

Maybe I shoulda patched the game or something.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Too late. I got bored with arcanum & uninstalled it when school started. I was really frustrated at the time though. Face red all over, palms sweaty, pulse through the roof, body making strange noises.

Often at night, I think about what could've been.

Dodge mastry cancelles the bonuses gained by melee mastry, so there is really no point anyways... other than braggin on goatse-forums, that is. Oooh, impressive!

Edit:

P.S.

Anyone about to answer my question any time soon?

What the hell are those lights behind Virgil?Godammit!
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

Beat me to it. Dodge Mastery and Melee Mastery cancel each other if two people fight with them against each other, which will never happen in the game

I read that it did in the manual... Also, many monsters beyond level 25 have melee mastry.

I have. No matter how much stuff I remove they stay. Maybe I should try to take all that he has (his inventory too)...? I will have to do that later, no time for that now, have to sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep, work, I think. Slave labour in the twenty-first century, work-a-holic zombies galore, consumers, soulless degenerates, Britney Spears, homosexual zoopedophiles, swell guy, spics, kikes. The meltingpot.

Maybe you get magic lights when your magic aptitude goes super high.

no, they don't. they may have a lot of points in melee, but very few creatures have actual mastery.
