Tenderfoot Thahd Firloz Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am stuck in town 52, there should be an event that triggers a return portal but i can't for the life of me figure out what it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Firloz Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 just dug through the entire scenario editor to figure it out... that was a rediculous puzzle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Assuming you're talking about the "Branches", aren't all puzzles ridiculous? That's what they're supposed to be, brain teasers. N-E-wayz... the reason for writing this is - while playing "pick up sticks", did you miss the small cave to the east? me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Firloz Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 there's a cave to the east? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yes. First, IMNSHO, you should have Krug and Raven added to your party if/when you have the opportunity. Each of them are necessary to accomplish a couple of items in the Scenario. If you have Krug in your Party, he will mention that there might be a cavern to the east. If you do not have him, then you must have some "Cave Lore" and it's a 75% chance that you'll notice it if you search the Mountain Wall to the east. FWIW: I do love this Scenario. Not only are there a lot of things to find and do, but it says loads about the human condition. ;^} me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Firloz Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 i just got to that point with a group that had krug... no such conversation, i checked the editor, no trigger for such a conversation... are you sure it isn't some other place you are thinking of?

Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 From what you initially stated, you've resolved the puzzle to Simon's Estate by having the key to the locked room. It's important that you possess the key because it you leave this 'town', it will revert to it's 'normal' state and when you return, you won't be able to advance. Once you have the key, go outside and walk east. You'll leave the 'town' and be in a small section of the Outdoors. Walk east and search the wall of the mountains at approximately 27, 22&23. As stated before, if you have Krug, you will get the conversation and a Cave Entrance will be just east of that location. Do the conversation there, leave and re-enter Simon's Estate and then use the key to enter the locked room to leave the area. Hope this helps, me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Firloz Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 oh, i was able to leave without even leaving the estate... still didn't find a cave or conversation trigger, all i needed to do was put a stick on the brazier.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 If you've just learned about the stick on the brazier, it sounds like you haven't played the other Scenarios by Alcritas. This manner of Teleportation is in several. Although this is a complex Scenario, so are most of the others and playing them in his recommended order, really makes much more sense than just treating this, or any other, as "just another game". * FWIW; it's highly recommended. N-E-ways... It also sounds like you understand how to use the new BoE Editor, so... Open the Editor, load, "falling.exs" and select outdoor section "2, 2", then "Edit Outdoor Terrain". Using the numeric keypad, move east and you'll see the two BoE Specials on the Wall of the Mountain. On the Editor Selector Pad, (or whatever it's called), click on the single dot which puts you in the "Edit" Mode. Now, click on either of the two BoE Specials and you'll get a Message Window with what those two Specials do. I presume you understand all this, but this is where you'll find what is necessary to access the Cave. me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Firloz Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 i don't know if i have an older version of the scenario or something but there is no cave there, and there is no node in the outdoor section corresponding to any special that might be there...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 You may have hit the nail on the noggin. A short while back, another Player had a similar problem. There was a 'bad' version still out there somewhere. As a result both "Traci's Tru-Site for Blades" and "Kenandon's Archive" verified that they have the most recent and up to date version of this Scenario. Go to either Site, download the Scenario and look at the Outdoor Section to verify the two BoE Specials on the edge of the mountain range. (I could e-mail you the scenario, but it's much easier and faster to download it from either of these two WebSite Archives.) Once done, you shouldn't have any more troubles. me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Alcritas Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Ahbleza has correctly identified the "problem", you are playing Falling Stars 1.00 (or 1.01/1.02). Not that that's a huge problem, you'll just be missing some scenery, dialogue, etc.. that's in 2.00. I actually had trouble tracking down a copy of the most up to date versions of my scenarios (and, in some cases, like Tomorrow, any copy) due to.. well, the passage of time. A lot of the old sites (like BB's Alexandria) linked to The Lyceum, which largely died when Geocities closed up shop. However, I did manage to find on site still active: http://www.truesite4blades.com/SWArchive/Geocities/alcritas/ My sincerest thanks to the old guard who keep the memories of BOE flickering to this day. -Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 And my sincere thanks to the Older Guard for all they have given to us. Hopefully, one flickering candle will keep the way lit for a New Guard. ;^} tx, me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
