Fledgling Fyora mgelman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 So I'm fighting my way through the Howling Depths, and suddenly I stop getting first aid after combats. I kill some of the wolves, bat, and their bad guy fellows. But when I finish the combat, I don't get any health/spell points back! Argh! Why not? Is this a bug? There do not appear to be any more enemies on the screen. I don't get tossed back into combat. It was working for a while. --Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 First you need to move or do something after leaving combat. Second first aid is dependent on how much you kill in their health so you may not have done enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora mgelman Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 I am moving or waiting a turn after combat. I'm killing a couple worgs, a couple of bats, and a couple of guys each time. Seems like a lot to get nothing back. While I'm clearly going to win each fight, I'm taking a bit of damage/spell cost each time. But other folks are seeing the same behavior?

Chittering Clawbug Mav Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 mgelman, my guess is that was by design. In the first area (right after you cross the Anama gate and it closes behind you), there's a whole ton of Darkside Loyalists who keep popping out of nowhere that are just like any other enemies, giving XP, adding to First Aid recovery totals, dropping all sorts of sellables, etc. But I _think_ there's a finite number of squads, at least when you finally pass that section of the map. However, the Wolfmaster/Batmaster/pets squads that keep assaulting you later on don't provide any XP/First Aid recovery/equipment of any kind, and won't go away until you meet the boss of the area. IMHO, Jeff made it so you're really supposed to be running for your life through the gauntlet the whole time, which I thought was a refreshingly tense kind of fun when I ran through a couple weeks ago. You can't hang around the Howling Depths and "game" the system for equipment or XP, because the squads'll keep chipping away at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Mav is correct. As a general rule, monsters spawned by special encounters don't give any experience and don't contribute to First Aid. Just run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora mgelman Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thank you all. I'm re-running that portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
