Garrulous Glaahk Clocknova Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 So I've returned to Dhorl Stead to arrest their evil, oppressive lord, and I decide to stop by to see Runner Faiga. Imagine my surprise to find that she for some reason considers me a murderer and threatens to kill me if I do not leave. Did I miss something? When I last saw her, this was not her response. Seems pretty illogical to me. Shaman Unni is also responding to some sort of disaster that clearly never happened. The whole town seems to have gone nuts.

Fledgling Fyora BubblySkootch Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 By the time you arrive in Dhorl Stead, Lord Carsta'Arl has already sent one of his hunters (can't remember his name) to warn the town that you have come to kill them all. Doesn't matter if you actually want to kill them or not - it's what he tells them, and they are all acting as though you have stolen their babies and their beadwork. If you run into any NPC's in the town at all, they will try to kill you. The only exceptions that I know of are the old shaman woman (who appears to have had a nervous breakdown), Runner Faiga and husband (who you can convince to just leave), and Laurella's father (who refuses to leave as he is waiting for Laurella to come home). You can try to argue with the NPC's, saying you are just here for Lord Carsta'Arl, and they will still try to kill you, saying that he is their only protection, etc. The only way to avoid killing anyone is to avoid all NPC's.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 You can tell some NPCs to flee and they won't fight you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora BubblySkootch Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Good to know! I never tried - once one npc tried to kill me, I just avoided the whole town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Avoid them? Why would you do that? Avadon must make examples of those who oppose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Clocknova Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 I also can't seem to get into the grove where Lord whatshisname is hiding. I've searched the whole castle for a switch or something, to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 You have to talk to Lady Antje in her grove and kill her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora BubblySkootch Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 True, BUT, once you have killed Lord Carsta'Arl, the remaining Dhorl Stead villagers take over Ogrhym'Tor, and go on to try and protect themselves from the various other steads. Win. And yes, I was that goody-good Hand that tried to help people for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Clocknova Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Shame. I was hoping I wouldn't have to kill anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Superba Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I felt the same. Didn't like Runner Faiga's change in perspective, she is a cool character, expected to act independently, not to believe rumors the Lord spread. And didn't like to kill the hunter and the warriors. But I presume this is part of Avadon next episode, say, free a territory to establish new rulers, possibly hostile to Avadon. Can't say.

Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 It seemed reasonable to me. Carsta'arl may be a bastard, but he's also a necessary evil: numerous characters in and around Dhorl Stead point out that in a nation as brutal and warlike as Khemeria, people are either vassals of a local strongman, or the victims of his warriors. It doesn't surprise me that the people of Dhorl Stead prefer the former, what with the substantially reduced rate of murder, rape, and pillage enacted upon them. Even in the ending where the town's population take over Oghrym'tor, it's clear that life gets substantially harder for them, and that's about the best they could have hoped.

Instead of letting them be over-run by a competing stead, I let them die on my blade. Now that's compassion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
