Dr. Chaos

Looks like January 14 is the official release date.

Good timing.I actually started Avernum 2 a few months ago but haven't gotten too far yet, been meaning to come back and finish it. Perfect excuse to start over with the new remake.Looking forward to it.

There are Sholai mages in the Inner Crypt? Or were you in a different zone at that point?

Sorry, I should have specified. It was a different zone I went to after clearing the crypt. Used the rod on a guarded bridge I had trouble passing before, made it through quite easily this time.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

There doesn't seem to be any way to turn them off but in failure I went back to my giant trash pile of stored items in Pentil and grabbed a rod of defenses which gave enough of a defense buff to allow my shaper to survive the crossing.

Had no idea there was a third buff beyond haste and war blessing or that it would be that powerful, very nice. Actually managed to take some hits from a shaoli mage with it up.

Is there any way to do this without taking a hit? My shaper gets torn apart by them in one hit since I've dedicated all my skill points to creations and healcraft/blessings and they seem to block every way forward.
