Yet another poll

X. He was crazy. He belonged.

[Nioca]

I voted for other. How could one forget Erika?!?

[Aoslare]

I can forgive the lack of Rentar, but there's no Erika and no Aimee. That's ridiculous. Enla and Ostoth deserve spots too. Silverio, Mairwen, Aydin, and Kyanan all made repeat appearances and deserve to be on the list more than some who are. And Seles and Vidrain are certainly no less notable than "Formello's Wizard." Are you talking about Miles? Alice? Townsend?

 

...please.

I go for Erika , i suppose they were all great , but Erika was the strongest one and the feared one by the empire..beside she is the one who made Avernum a place possible to live in by creating many things....

Someday X will perfect his anvil spell, and he will rule the worl!

Looks like that poor D was the first to be flattened.

*slaps self in face*

How did I forget Erika? I feel ashamed of myself, and I'm in the middle of playing A2.

[Xaiya]

You admit to it.

I'm still perplexed by this joke(?) by I.F.M.

I don't get it.

What's there to get? He made it look like you ate pie.

[Xaiya]

I can't explain it.

Then again, I barely get it myself.

[Emperor Tullegolar]

I'm glade it doesn't include Erika, it would have been one sided if it did. Rentar probably wouldn't have changed any votes except mine.

 

As for my vote, I picked the one that went up against almost every other mage on that list and put up a good fight while doing so.

[Micawber]

Everyone knew whom you would vote for, Tully.

Different Thompson. That was Thompson the somewhat bizarre Kids in the Hall parody, not Thompson the mage.

It's ALEADY perfected. Sheesh. It just needs lots of set_terrain() calls.

[Dado]

Garzahd can only be hurt by demonslaying attacks and can made a copy of himself.

[Xaiya]

And can get beat by a bunch of smelly adventurers

[Callie]

Garzhad also seems have risen from the dead, since I killed him in A1.

[Sudanna]

Rentar resurrected him in order to pay him back for his capture of the crystal souls.

[The Mystic]

I voted for X as the top mage. Us crazy people are always the most sane.

[Xaiya]

So you are the exeption?

[The Mystic]

Sort of. Simply put, there's a method to my madness in that it's purely by choice. I'm just as sane as everyone else.

[Zeviz]

I voted for X because he was the most amusing one. Garzahd might be a champion in personal combat, Erika does more good deeds, and Rentar is more destructive, but none of them are developing an anvil-dropping spell.

[Jeran Korak]

X, for the same reasons.

 

-Nija, who personally thinks that A4 would have a hard time with an anvil spell simply because of the grahics engine.

[Callie]

Even if A4 could support an anvil spell, I think X will never achieve his goal.

[The Mystic]

I doubt that too. He could probably use some kind of teleport spell, but I don't think he realizes it.

[Micawber]

I'm not sure about that; I think X is aiming to be able to summon an anvil at an appropriate height, not just move one from elsewhere. Otherwise the spell would be of very limited utility; if the spell relied solely on redistribution of existing anvils, there would be the danger that halfway between the initial height and the monster's head, another wizard would whisk it away again. Very unsatisfactory, in order to avoid this you would need to set up some kind of timeshare agreement on the anvils, but then the spell would only be available part of the time. Nope, summoning is much better. Unfortunately the existing spells only summon living creatures, not anvils.

[Randomizer]

I think the anvil spell uses an existing anvil since in the Exile series X was interested in locating the largest anvil. Most summoning spells mention bring existing creatures to your aid and not creating them.
