Thwip

Good theory, I just tried this but unfortunately it did not work. The baddies reset but scripts did not. You know what though, I'm going to make the best out of this and call it the better ending. This was the last quest for my party to complete and after killing Hawthorne they took out many members of the Empires Royal Guard showing the tenacity of Avernites. Isn't it canon that the heroes of Avernum just kinda disappear? Better to go out with a bang for your people instead of literally disappearing on the brink of war. Regardless, thank you for the help!

That's what I was afraid of. I don't see exactly where I can add special items on the editor but I can take the party out of town. I did that, got the last brooch, and returned to the surface. Now my party is insta killed when I get to the dining hall. Haha I think I may have to completely restart to get the good ending. Thanks anyway and thank you for the warm welcome!

I just killed Hawthorne and I only have four brooches. Is there a way to configure .sav files to add special items to your party? I completely spaced and didn't make a backup save before starting a suicide mission.
