Midknight Warrior

so i'm playing empire-loyal, right (loyal as in loyalist ) and i'm at melanchions gathering tribute for him... uh.. i just whooped this lich into giving tribute to melanchion and, well, she said something or other about a war against the surface... wtf? i thought melanchion was peaceful..

am i betraying the empire for helping melanchion?

guys i just killed gladwell, an awesome battle . but im still geased!.. i want to do quests for shafrir, but his machine cant remove the residue (it says the exact same thing it did when gladwell was alive). I got all three items for him so im not sure i get why i even had the geas anyway... but whatever, how can i permanently remove it?

also, i broke a crystal that gladwell was standing beside, it freed the soul of a woman in gladwells inn, is this relevant to anything?

thanks guys, it was just me being an impatient bastard

thats the thing. the golems disappear, and the shade goes back to being where it was originally, non hostile and all that. if I approach it, the golems come back.

hey, im trying to kill moref for larks quest, so i go into this cave joint, take down a bunch of exploding statues, it says something about the spirit leaving.. but its still there. im pretty sure im missing something obvious, but the shade is still there, and the explo-golem thing happens again if i approach it...

where am i supposed to go/do? i looked in the forums but the only stuff there was about it was people who couldnt find moref himself..

thanks all, I found the ruby and the key I was missing. It was pretty wierd, the result, but it must be something cool later on.

Ok, so in the mine where I have to get the satchel, there is a secret passage to an anvil which burns me if I touch it and I can't destroy. When it burns me it tells me that the power is far below. Ok

I explore the rest of the mine, get the satchel and both sylak keys (I and II, kill the dragon and the rats. Somewhere in the third floor down, there is a huge pitfall, (far below, I assume) so I throw my sorry lot down there. One adventurer survives, from luck. A few potions later, I explore the tomb. after an excessive amount of reloading, I manage to kill both barrow wights.

I look in the coffins, there's just some bones, but one has a button which reveals a chest with six wierd rocks that become a special item (the power?) so I go back to the anvil, but it keeps burning me and telling me "not yet, the power is far below", even my character that has faerie blood, if that's supposed to be of any influence.

What's the deal with the anvil?

(I remember not being able to find what it was in the old nethergate too, in fact, there I never made it past the pitfall )

Personally, I liked the wide variety of spells available in the exiles. Just trying them out was part of the fun.

In A4 I hated how haste was one by one... Arcane blow is fabulous, what are you guys talking about? Yes, divine retribution has a bigger pwn area, but rarely is there erver so many monsters that a hasted 2xarcane blow can't handle.

I might be wrong on this, but can't you just download it from the spiderweb site?

Actually, horses in avernum would suck. Horses are expensive, and considering how soft and wonderful avernum ground is, you'd ride through 30 horses in a year. Imagine, if asphalt is bad for their hoofs (even when shoed) what the rocky, pebbly, rotting GIFT-leggly avernum ground would do to them.

On another note, there isn't really anything more to do in avernum. the rentar story is basically over. No matter how you look at it, either rentar is out of the picture, or on the surface with another e/a III... Or the darkside loyalist thing which could be a bigger version of the "a small rebellion" scenario....

Rentar dies: Darkside loyalists=only plot left

Rentar lives in vahnatai lands: Presumably peaceful rentar leaves only darkside loyalists as a plot, and if she tried again, it would be cheap.

Rentar lives in the surface: Exile III part II... I don't think that's gonna happen, leaving the darkside loyalists, again.

So that means that, either something new is gonna happen, or the darkside loyalists are gonna be the main event in A V. I wonder how you get avernum adventurers to be empire heroes, maybe AV should be with empire citizens?

Or, bring back another classical villain, like Grah-Hoth, or a band of rogue sorcerers steal vahnatai knowledge and make a crystal soul of erika?

So anyway I just killed almaria's shade, but found out the people are still hostile towards me. I remember killing some of the archers that shot at me (well hey they started it!). How can I get them to love me again?

A pretty kick ass bandit queen that can become four... hmm, has Jeff been drinking lately?

He probably tried absinthe and saw in fours, thus absynthe is born.

I'd be happy to test it.

The first one pretty much covered everything, i wonder what you added.

BTW, when is that scenario that was supposed to come with the HLPM going to come out? (I remember it being something about sliths(?))

Just a thought, will "bettereditor" scenarios work on BOA?

Looks like Jeff has more of a commercial mind than we gave him credit for...

/me thinks about starting to yell "IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY OMFGWTFBBQ!!~!~!1!!12!!"

nah

i seem to have a rather draconian attitude, nver wanting to give up something valuable. I still have that flaming sword from VodT and morogs scepter and khoth's droppings. For some wierd reaso anything magical i do not like to throw away or sell...a sort of residence in which to put it in (/me imagines his house full of magical relics from all over the world) i mean stuff that was hard as hell to get like the giantslayer from the 8 dark wyrms in the hidden pit....how can anyone sell or discard that?

GIVE US HOUSES!!! we work our heads off to keep the world at peace, make thousands upon the completion of the mission plus the 2 or 3 times that we got in the process, after doing all 5 (RoR included) scenarios i had a straight 20'000 coins, no cheating, and im not 100% sure about how much that is relatively but im pretty sure you can buy a house with it

LODGEMENTS TO THE ADVENTURERS!!

ps: i dont mind if its some hovel in an adventurers guild or a yurt in the middle of nowhere, someone please make one of these, my skills lack.

hey,

how do you make lava burn? when you edit a town with lava it has a little red thingy on the top corner but when i make lava it doesnt do that and my party can walk on it without burning! lol!

skirts are a form of simple clothing, much easier to make than pants. Come to think of it Avernum is a place where it would make sense to wear kilts, for all practical matters its just a cloth tied together at one end, the designs and thingys are completely unnecessary.

just put 499 and say it's 500, nobody will whine about 1xp

and about the high-level party-maker, im sure its better that doing the scenarios over again felipecuello263@hotmail.com

thank god i gave up scenario design after the firs half hour...the worst was yet to come...

Le what?

there was something that bothered me though, micah just came and said "hello mates mind if i rule you? thanks thats nice" it would have been better that micah has some kind of military power but is nothing official yet, then he leads his army adn the people of avernum in glorious battles against the forces of Sss-Thsss, after which they would all be like "hail to the great general Micah!" and the mages would bestow the tile of kingship on him. instead of being a wussy sitting in his castle sending the likes of you to assassinate him

thank you for reading my rather long run-on sentence

edit: spelling

you could stick a horse and a carriage thingy together (or a lizard if youre in avernum) and "fake" a carriage ride

Oh yeah, something i forgot to say in that other post, it would provide scenario designers with a base to build upon, not just random civil wars and whatnot.

we should have Jeff make an "official" history of exile/avernum so the history spam stops...its very interesting but i'ts getting a bit old

plus making up names for emperors and entire histories in scenarios is just...urrg. plus if it turns out to be bad it won't be "accepted" into the general history of avernum that is consented to by the community

as Napoleon once said,

"History is just a collection of lies agreed upon by those with power."

i believe we can identify the exile/avernum history to that sentence, those with power being the scenario critics
