Jeff I think these are, except for case 2, suboptimal solutions.

For case 2 I'd expect the slith to leave and not come back so the game works reasonably there.

For case 1 i was able to complete the quest without fighting the little demon monsters. I still completed the quest because I got the papers. In this case running made the quest a lot easier. Seems strange

For case 3 the question is since I cleaned out the nest shouldn't that count? Also if they killed all but one of my party who survived only by running for his life would they really abandon their nest?

For what it's worth I'd recommend that case two under the portal should be changed to have the demons hang around--hate to fight them but more "realistic". I'd recommend that case 3 the scuttlers hang around to be killed later, they're not that smart.

Anyway great game.

several times I've run into combats that I only survived by getting one character to run away from. Most of the time when i go back the creatures are still there and I can fight them. but on at least 3 occasions they disappear.

1) documents under the portal quest: I was swarmed by the little demons that came from the room before the room with the scrolls. i managed to get one character out. When I came back the room was empty and I was able to get the scrolls after fighting the two guardians in the room. In this case the lack of returning monsters was good

2) came across the manburner projection supervising a demon event in the north eastern corner of avernum controlled lands. Was overwhelmed. Got one character away. came back ready for a fight, no one was there. Don't know if this hurt me in any way--lost treasure etc

3) scuttler cave for ft monastery: Went in was ambushed got one character out. came back cleaned the place up--although the ambush scuttlers were gone. Went to the fort the commander doesn't recognize that the scuttlers are gone. lost a bunch of gold

I can understand from a "realism" perspective why event 2 played out as it did. But events 1 & 3 should have left the monsters hanging around, especially in the case of event 3.

turns out the Ft. Draco script doesn't work. But the scripting language is sufficiently clear that i was able to modify one of levits dialogs to fix my problem. Thanks!

No i did go in through the cave. I'd found the entrance before I did the formello quest. I have fixed the problem by editing one of levitts dialog scripts. thanks for the help

never mind i edited the script and fixed the problem

I did the Vanhati and Draco quests for Levitt. Now when I go to Fort Monastery I'm told I'm not good enough and i should just leave.

I'm using Avernum 6 1.01 and I put in the script update designed to fix the Ft Draco quest issue.

I should note that I've killed the slith general outside Ft. Monastery already.

Great game and thanks for any help

Ok I didn't pick the fort Monastery quest from levitt and now i work for the king. I went to the fort and the commander still says i'm not enough to help. What do i need to do? Thanks!

thanks. I walked into the trap in combat mode and the event never actually triggered.

I'm down in the trapped cave but nothing seems to damage the pylons. But the pylons aren't attacking me either. What's the deal? Thanks!

I found a cave of eyebeasts that guard the route to the nephilim who tells you about the scourge to the east. in the area you fight the eyebeasts, several of them, there is a hidden button but all paths to it are blocked. i couldn't find any other hidden button to open a passage to the one i can see. any suggestions? Thanks!

I just got the heartstriker bow. It does not appear to have any special abilities and damage is 8-32 yet it's worth 4000 gold! Are sum objects just really overpriced or do these objects have unlisted abilities, for example I'd assume a bow named heartstriker has a high probability of getting a critical hit. Thanks for any info.

i get the impression that helping gladwell is helping evil. if so i don't want to do his quests. can you do his quests and avoid messing people in the game up? can you kill him in the end? I like to role play the good guys.

I've gotten into the lower level but there's a barred door with no way to get into the central part, on the lower level. Is there anyway to get there other than doing the gladwell quest?

thanks! I was wandering around building up my characters before going to formello.

I talked to the commander but he says I can't do anything. the front gate guards are unkillable as far as i can tell.

is there a timer on this since I talked to the sage down in the tunnels? Is there something other than killing the slith I'm supposed to do? Thanks!

Thanks for the inputs. I didn't try just dropping stuff on the ground. i put two items in the desk of the commander of the central portal. they disappeared. As i vaguely recall in previous versions of the game there were specific areas that were safe.

Is there any place you can store items you want to keep but don't want to carry so that they don't disappear? Thanks.

is there any way to kill him? i tried pretty much everything and no luck. i just ran around and took what treasure was there and then left. thanks for any help.

i don't want to drive people out of the azure cave so i want to use the route underneath the vahanti temple. but it appears that i have to open a grate before i can do that. if that isn't so i'd like to know and if it is so i'd like to know how to get the grate over the door open. thanks!

thanks.

i found different clues that what are in the link alluded to in the message above. i found

North sparkling orb not red

No sparkling the same color

Western orb has red sparkles

At least 1 orb to the south doesn't sparkle

2 orbs sparkling on the diagonal

i set the orbs as follows

NW orb green sparkles

NE orb blue sparkles

SW orb red sparkles

SE orb no sparkles

it didn't work. there are several combinations that meet the above requirements, ie i could make the NW no orb or no sparkle.

are we just supposed to try every allowed combination? rather boring in my opinion. if there isn't any spiffer solution please post the answer. thanks.

i'm stuck in the north most trial. i find a bunch of hidden buttons, some of which work, but i can't get anything to happen. what's the secret?

thanks.

talked to kingsly but still no luck. ah well.

i'm wondering if i've found a bug. i just now got the Lark quest for the mind warp Chitrach. i went back to the nest and fought the worms 4 times. i found 4 passages, the one to the southwest, the two with ladders up to the unenterable nests, and one to the northwest of the central chamber. never saw a mindwarp chitrach or any chitrach for that matter. it looks like there's a secret compartment due west of the worm area, is that where the mindwarp is?

could it be that since i entered the area, or maybe even killed the mindwarp prior to getting the quest i'm out of luck? thanks

is there any place you can place items where they won't disappear over time? i've got a bunch of magical items that may be useful if i fight certain types of foes but which i don't need most of the time, then there's stuff like demon bile. i don't want to carry the stuff around, don't have room for loot, but i don't want to sell it either.

thanks.
