Kyshakk Koan Ghaldring Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I just experienced something slightly surreal in Avernum 3. My level 1 party was touring Silvar, and happened to intimidate that Empire Dervish in the inn. As a result, we enter combat mode (This is on torment, by the way). Then the Dervish does the most odd thing. He picks up a bottle of wine. I then hear that 'gush' sound associated with a character drinking a potion. He moves to attack, swings... and misses. His chance to hit is 5%. And when he does strike, the damage sucks. Hilarious. I wonder if this could be used as some sort of strategy against single difficult opponents? Drop wine on the ground, then run away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Apparently dervishes are so arrogant that they prefer to fight while drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I remember seeing the icon for drunk after imbibing at the inns. It was a short term effect, but until now I never knew what it really did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah, I knew that fighting whilst under the influence made your attacks all but useless, but it's interesting to see NPCs do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I guess it's a good thing I don't drink and game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Upon Mars. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Actually, low level berserkers with gremlin wine are quite, from every point of view that agrees with you, fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Gremlin wine has different effects than regular wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila DOA Assassin Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hmm maybe they would do it with poision potions too? I mean why make a potion to poison your character unless it works with others too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Ghaldring Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 I had the very same idea. While NPC's can pick up poison potions you drop for them, they don't seem to drink them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 What's the point of having poison potions then? To punish some noob who doesn't bother to identify things? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 New challenge, go into all major battles drunk and poisoned! (with potions, duh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I don't think you'd find enough alcohol and poison potions in the game to do that. -Does Unshackle Mind get rid of drunkenness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I said for major battles. I think the major battles are (though not all are battles): Alien Slime Escape from the roach pit. Troglodite Mage Dude (forgot his name) and King Giant Leader (or is there one? I don't remember) Fight inside that part where you smash that blue crystal thing. Golem Lead Mind Crystal Rentar Ihrno. That is 7. I think you can find 7 things of Alcohol and Poison in the game. Or can you? I'm too tired to think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 For some reason, I think poison potions cure poison. You just have to be poisioned at the time. Or Dikiyoba is crazy. Whichever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Brock The Archmage Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I went and checked with a high level party that never dies heh. They will drink the poison potion when their health gets low, because to them it is unidentified. Mages never seem to do it. Probably due to intelligence hehe. HAHA they thought it was healing! heh.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well, I decided to check too. Yep, Dikiyoba is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I did that a while ago too; I've never gotten healed by drinking poison potions. Dikiyoba: Don't worry about being crazy, you're just as sane as I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila DOA Assassin Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 wow this is an awsome strategy but I don't think everythign drinks. I mean imagine gettign a dragon drunk, it seems like a great idea when your soloing the game. Drop wine around you in a circle and go kick the dragons but. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Feo Takahari Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well, in A2 I saw a bat pick up and drink a healing potion . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila DOA Assassin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 So if they drink potions then we can finally have a real use for those poison potions! This gives me ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 When I finished A1 again a couple of days ago, a goblin some demon had summoned picked up the mind crystal in the southeast part of Grah-Hoths fortress! When I killed him, he didn't drop it either. Pink bastard. Imagine a goblin with Blademaster. Or a rakshasa with magery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
