Remember if you are low on health, fight the first buccaneers after leaving a city. You are supposed to heal with every city, but if you flee first it grabs your last health, rather then realizing you should be at full health.
If the game is not working for you on firefox, try to follow this guide. I did it when another game wasn't working and haven't had any issues playing games on firefox since:

Hey cheng3939, you said there was a different ending for 1 or 2 items correct as long as you don't have any that lead to a special ending. I have tried a few times and get the same "some are useful and some are pure trash" result. Is that how it is supposed to work?
Oh, and I still feel like there should be a gnome ending/fate. They are behind the scenes everywhere, why not here too? First time I played the game I know I talked to them a couple times, see if they had their own quest to give :P
You can click on the red error text on the lower-left corner of the screen and the game will show you where the miscolored regions are.
