Dressed up as a member of the spanish inquisition, would ring a doorbell, when someone answered, I would yell "Nobody expects the spanish inquisition!", then run off. It was worth not getting any candy. Then agian, i doubt i would have been able to get any since the beard makes me look about 8 years older...

Dont go opening nice, ornate looking chests. I'd be pissed if someone gets the entire party killed, thus ending this campaign. Although that would be fun to watch...

Or killed some sliths, were forced to eat them, and got food poisoning from eating them, THEN died. Guess we'll never know.

Wrong thread.

He already did send more adventurers after you, but they ended up starving to death (thanks to you!)

Odds are that while some things are done better in other places, America truly has more freedom and choices. Doesnt really explain why America spends more on its military than the rest of the world combined spends on their's, does it?

Ive done much the same thing in A3, and ended up stuck in a forcecage for over an hour. Its why singletons should stay as far away from large mobs of drakes as possible. And why (in your case) you shouldnt have your dex so high that nothing can hit you. At least if you die quickly once stuck asleep you can get it over fast.

It's funny, if you substitute "Invis" for "Bless", that's the exact strategy you use in the early Final Fantasy games, too! I never use that strategy in any rpg. Its cheap and just plain unfair to whatever is trying to kill you. Plus, the game becomes incredibly boring if you do that. Its just not that fun when there is little to no risk of dying.

We belive that Avernum is a game. Oh look, its a game! In other words, Avernum already exists.

Like his post, or the text-based maps? You really need to be clearer.

I agree with Earth, way too much Geneforge. I voted for killing Gladwell and doing all of Melanchion's quests. He at least rewards you from his own treasure horde, and Starrus never did that. I had to steal all of his treasure just to get anything from him!

The blight is never cured, Avernum is stuck with it. Probably forever.

If your going to call people suckers for falling for McDonalds "evil propoganda", then it would have been better to post that on the conspiracy theory thread.

Dont blame the topic drift, blame the topic.

I think there I have a quote that should sum up the nit-picking of the english language. "Don't discuss the English language! Slam the door on it!" -Kaval

Other than the slith's, there isnt really anyone else up in the formello area who would be running away from the town. Having some random npcs run away suddenly wouldnt work that well, seeing as they would probably end up getting quickly killed by the sliths.

Originally Posted By: Pathos I think infinite respawns are silly if there's not some time limit etc .. Their called infinite respawns due to the fact that they never end. A time limit would mean it ends, thus, it would not be a infinite respawn. Originally Posted By: Pathos .. indication that you should REALLY be getting out of there. The whole "Infinite respawns" thing is a good indication that you should leave. @Triumph. I have no idea, since I ran for my life when in formello. Having nearly no hp left amongst your party does not equal exploration. It means "run for your life" when you dont want to waste your precious, precious potions.

Well, you can hardly run away from a instadeath node. And if the instadeath node is not amusing, its just annoying. Walk into a instadeath node, and you have to reload. Trigger infinite respawns, and all you have to do is run. Not all of us like reloading every single time we do something we probably shouldnt have. That and if you decide to stick around there and grind, its your own fault for doing so. Just avoid the area, it's hardly difficult.
