Thank you for your answer, I earlier spoke with the old shaman close to Tilla and checked there are only two dialogue options with Tilla (papers with unknown characters he doesn't understand, and denying to know more than she already told us).
Something rather disconcerting: when I went back to the shaman to talk to him again, he was no longer in his garden.
 

I followed the steps in Strategy Central, but with Tilla there is no dialogue regarding Tawon meeting place.
Might this happen because I am running the Demo?

In the end, the one written above was the right way to proceed. The magic circle prevents the Demon to regenerate. It was necessary to lure the demon into the magic circle. By the way, not so easy to lure it exactly into the circle, because of its long range fire. So you need to go a little south of the circle to lure it into the right spot.
I left to go on with other quests, after the dialogue with Vardegras, then I went back there with the companions, killed the demon and loot the lair without being chased by Vardegras :-)
 

Thanks, now I think to remember that the magic circle with lights is part of the fight, maybe I got to go there and make the demon follow, because there the fight changes way of execution and it is possible to interrupt its regeneration. I'll try to do that.

Don't worry, it's all right 🙂

Thank you TriRodent but, it's a different foe, the one I am refering to is a demon not Vardegras 🙂

So, there is this huge demon and a "magic circle" with crystals that "shine briefly".
I already kill it years ago but I can't remember how.
I was there minutes ago with a Tinkermage level 28, strenght 24, dexterity 24, intelligence 16, endurance 15; two ice turrets level 9, earthshatter scarab, tinkermage shortblade with bladelash, some good trinkets, +15% to hit chance scarab, wand of calling, ice, lightning, venom and more... and I feel lucky I saved the game just before starting combat, because this demon takes everything I hit it with and regenerate itself.
Which is the trick to defeat him, please?
Thanks 🙂

Hi there 😀
I forgot many things about Avadon 1 and now I am stucked with the second series of Duke's quests. To be precise I am supposed to meet Shigaz again in Berada Woods and to defeat some "well established bandits" there. But I can't find Shigaz there or in Beraza Pitts. I found some bandits underground but no Shigaz. What am I missing?
Thanks

Found a fine waveblade in a tomb in Vahnatai land I needed the Orb to reach, all set and done ☺️

Thank you, I'll have a try 😊

Hi, I went back to Avernum 2 after some years and I thought to remember Patrick needed a simple waveblade so I sold the high priced ones that I collected... main difficulty, as I went back to Vahnatai lands to find one but found no other... so I am stucked with Patrick's quest. Any idea where to find a Fine Waveblade, by Vahnatai or upstairs in Avernum?
Thanks!

Hi, I know, it's years I do not write here 🙂
I used to be a frequent user of the forum.
This days I opened Avadon2  and I could not remember which mod I have on, I presume it is not the one that gives incredibly good weapons at comand but the one to modify characters stats.
Only, I can't remember what it does and, above all, how to launch/turn it on/operate it.
Any suggestion on where to start?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry if there is and I did not see it, is there a Demo for Avadon 3, and where?

I think that nobody in Silvar is interested in my successful liberation of Cotra... Silvar's Captain isn't, Asp isn't.

Nobody assigned me the mission, all right, however I expected somebody to notice it, isn't this an unusual behaviour?

Got it. Thank you!

In Motrax liar you meet Ostoth the mage, who among other things tells you there is a "tablet" he is missing.

I played the game to its end more than once, still I don't have a clue about what this tablet is or where might it be.

Well, in the meanwhile I killed the dragon, and the gate opened for me. I hope I did not mess things up...

I talked to Scrab, then to Asp, back to Spire the box won't open. Can't remember what I missed to do and none of the listed quests seem to have something to do with the circlet.

Yes! That was it. I followed wrong directions until now, as it was written the exit would have opened on north wall... thanks a lot, wackypanda!

Yes, thanks, but I already followed the exact same inctructions, let's say that when the switch does something, and not "a soft click", it doesn't open else than a southern exit to nothing. I know the way to Drath is north, but doesn't open even after about ten minutes of in and outs.

In other terms, I would need some basic directions to get out of here, i.e. N-E-W-E-E-E.

Did I say "last question"? I am sorry.

I am stucked in Drath's maze, as usual.

I know there is a Randomizer's file or post where it is told the sequence of directions through portals to get to Drath level.

But, I don't find it here anymore, only the "click and go through eastern portal a number of times", that doesn't work.

Found it! Thanks again Lilith. It is located in the general Settings.

Right. What I thought as an explanation was that second place is default for the Slith, and that maybe the program adds some strength there, due to the implied higher level of strenght of his race, that doesn't change even when you switch race. But, all right. Just my imagination then.

If you please, I am in need of help about a last question. I accidentally changed the order of entering combat (not the order of march).

I couldn't say how I did that. Now my wizard is first in line of combat and this is quite a disadvantage. How can I restore the previous order?

Thanks a lot!

I understand. Coming to criteria, I elaborated a first hand selection of qualities, so when I write about "instinct" I refer to things like 1) items with no cut in hit percentage 2) items with percentage of escaping attacks 3) items offering high percent protection from phisical/magical damage. I am now running an unbalanced party with three Berserkers, two of them with dual wielding, one with pole weapons, and a superb wizard/archer. It works well.

However, I have here another odd question: in many different playthroughs, I noticed that second character in line is always, and I mean always, more efficient than the first. No matter if I give the first (say, Aldous) the best weapons. Damage amount is less if compared to the second player (even if human like the first), I think I asked about this gap once and I was told it depends upon weapons and training. But, I tried different solutions and result was the same, isn't it odd?

I noticed I have here and there some difficulties in evaluating useful/protection items criterias.

Assuming I sell most of the items and that I don't like to have a heavy bag full of alternative items, it's sometimes difficult to understand which is better, which is to discard and why.

An example:

Spectral robe

Value: 2000 Weight 5 lbs.

Armor: +10%

+5% to Energy Resistance

+3% chance to evade attacks.

+20% to Miind Effect Resistance.

Shining Silk Robe

Value 800 Weight 5 lbs.

Armor: +12%

+10% to Energy Resistance.

+10% to Fire Resistance.

+5% chance to evade attacks.

I instinctively estimate the Shining Silk Robe more useful, but the higher value in coins of Spectral Robe makes me think there is some criteria I do not understand. There are more items which comparison drive me crazy...
