I believe I wouldn't use Jennel because she has level 0 of Healing Touch. I know about retrain but last time I made a mess with that option and the character came out weaker than before. Well distributing health items and Wands of Calling may help leaving her at home I presume. Lilith, I don't know yet about the frenzy power for Sevilin, where is it if you please? I currently gave him the 4 turns frenzy scarab but I may pass it to Sorceress. Randomizer, I really can't remember about Nicodemean zombie bones...

HI, party is level 30 already, I left the fight with Zephyrine for before Lord's hunt quest. Most of strenght objects and runes are on Shima, Sevilin is the archer kind, Sorceress is team leader and Jennel is not impressive to me. I would send there a Shima-Sevilin-Sorceress party, is there a better combination, with regards to the cold fire of Zephyrine and maybe a fire immunity of guardians there?

There's a bug in Bargha, sorry I can't possibly read 8 pages of threads to check if it has already been signaled. However, it occurs when you get the quest to kill phantoms from the lady at the entrance, the one who's teachings are incredibly expensive. You go to the place where you saw the phantoms before entring Bargha, but they are nomore there. They reappear randomly if you come back, with no apparent logic in their behaviour. I tried the quest in different playthroughs so I can say that for sure. Sometime they reappear after a couple of "visits" at the place, sometimes they don't.

You know, it's the Labyrinth. When you go down the stairs from lake level. Then there are some demons and a secret switch and the labyrinth begins. There are four chambers. That one there

@Earth of Empires Hey, wait a minute! I am inside the labyrinth BEFORE meeting Drath; as you suggested I'm stucked before third level, at the end of second level instructions says I am in first room, where I am, but the title of third level is "third room" (and I'm not there)... damn.

It's foolish. I simply can't exit Drath Labyrinth. I gave up last game, now I'm here again with a new party and the hell if I can get out. The secret switch even doesn't open the closed secret passage anymore. Notice that I am playing the Remix version of the game, are there known issues with it?

Fifth attempt and still stucked in Drath's chambers.

Mmm... no, maybe there's something wrong with instructions, i.e. when text says the party is in a room with a hidden switch that opens nothing, the party is instead in a room with a secret switch that opens a passage that leads to a path that ends into water. That is also the last room where they are when instructions end. I usually have problems with directions, but I believe I paid much attention this fourth time and don't have an explanation for what happens.

Thanks, I tried it three times but didn't succeed. Still stucked. Isn't there any other way to find the way out?

I've been through Drath Chambers a lot of times, but this time I'm stucked. I put different objects in each chamber to know where the party is, only this time I forgot which is the trick to reach last chamber... someone here wrote you have to take only the eastern portal several times, but the tip doesn't work, after a while the party arrives always and only in one of the wrong chambers. Help!

The smashing pd points come also because the Berserker has 47(+5) Strenght, but basically this knife is more effective than any secondary hand blade and you can wield two of them. Second hit is devastating.

It is a knife, can't remember if there is one in original game (but I believe I remember it), however I am playing the enhanced version, the one with more powerful bows and pole weapons. The jest on women's blade refered to the lightness of the knife compared to proper swords. The Serrated Kris wielded by my berserker has 113-452 pd + Weakness curse for 2 turns (50%)and he wields two of them. That's really good.

Just to say how much I appreciated I discovered the Serrated kris. For a long time I didn't use it except for Wizard (who,in fact, never used it). I assumed it was a minor weapon, something for women, you know Then I gave a better look at its features and gosh! Now my Berserker wield two of them and he's killing everyone and smashing everything. Highly recommended weapon, indeed.

Yes, thanks to both of you

Yes, it's quite dangerous not to have it and one playthrough on two I forget to check if I own it (and usually I don't, and it's quite frustrating to die going back home after all of that Emperor's killing). But, this time, times they are a changing. Now I KNOW i miss the fifth brooch, only I forgot where it is.... sad, isn't it? Well, sad to me anyway. I checked the book in Erika's library first, nothing, I assume to be so addicted of this game I've been everywhere many times, only in different playthroughs, so I got confused; then I went through the Search here but no luck, forgive me if I ask for help about this silly matter: Ivory brooch Malachite brooch Pearl brooch Chalcedony brooch This is what I own. Where is the %@ç#! fifth brooch, please?

Yes! I forgot about the place of ancient battle. Thanks!

Hi guys, after a dozen of times I play the game till the end I believe I forgot where to find the key to the Crypt of Drath... pretty silly thing of me, please help.

@ House of S Sorry I had no time to read more than your introduction to changes in your 1.1 version, so I ask only one question: what about Divine Retribution and Dual Wielding? These features are the foundation of my party playthroughs, I will try the new version for sure but I am also a bit worried about changes in this features... oh, and compliments for this huge work of yours!

Thanks Randomizer, well I am happy it's only eight months to wait for Avadon II because I thought it was more. There's also a minor curiosity I have since long time: do wishing pools in Spiderweb games ever gave something to adventurers?

Is there already any rumor about Avadon II release? I've been through Avadon so many times and Avernum EFTP too that I NEED a new Spiderweb game!

@Painted Lady When you are over level 30 on singleton it is true that you are weaker than the sum of a party of four, at the same time you have the same money they should share but only for your personal benefit. This way you can buy a number of magical skill levels from the trainers. One other but similar advantage regards special items like the whole lot of weapons, armor, potions you find after battles that you can use or sell. There's another difference about singleton and it is the time balance in game, I mean a singleton game is somewhat quicker in the end, because the more time necessary to end a fight is at least balanced with the time you don't waste to equip, change equipment, individually train, look at stats, plan traits sequence for each character, and so on, of a traditional party.

Yes, I thought about it but both characters are dual wielding and have similar levels: First character: Strenght level 42 (+8) - Dexterity 33 (+1) - Melee weapons 37 - Dual wielding 10 - Luck 6 (+2) Second character: Strenght 40 (+4) - Dexterity 36 (+2) - Melee weapons 32 - Dual wielding 10 (+1) - Luck 6 (+2) It doesn't seem to me there are enough differences to justify a reversal in hitting chances.

Ok, thanks for calculation :-) One more thing that is difficult to me to understand: I am now playing a party of two characters, one of them wears armor and other items with total reduction of -20% and armor with total bonus of +8%, so the disadvantage is -12% in chances to hit. The other character wears armor with a total -15% penalty and also wears a +12% items total bonus. In spite of the -12% and -3% the second character miss more often than the first one. What other factors/stats influence the chance to hit that could explain this thing?

I really didn't think of swap the items and check stats page to compare. Silly of me, however yours is a much useful hint, thanks!
