Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Wednesday, March 8 2006 07:36 Profile Homepage #25 How could we have possibly forgotten the Burma Shave signs near Blackcrag in A3? Before they send us... to a grave... Alien Beasts use... Burma Shave. One of the better moments of A3. EDIT: Also, A4 seems to have a cameo of TM: Your conversation with this sailor is very short. It mostly involves his asking why you are in his room, combined with several harsh comments regarding your appearance, ancestry, and the availability of your mother. -------------------- Heroes: Where are the monsters coming from?

Derakon Shock Trooper Member # 1115	written Wednesday, March 8 2006 08:11 Profile Homepage #26 Burma Shave showed up more than once. I think the other one was If Exile You want to save Back up your save slots Burma Shave (Substituting Exile for Avernum as appropriate) -------------------- "Don't take life so serious, son.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, March 8 2006 09:01 Profile Homepage #27 Also in E3/A3 if you press the right F keys. —Alorael, who will have to go through Nethergate even more exhaustively. Hopefully the easter egg isn't subtle, because there's a reasonable amount of humor based on anachronism and non sequitur that's just part of the joys of Shadowvale.

Spidweb Board Administrator Member # 1	written Wednesday, March 8 2006 14:55 Profile Homepage #28 OK. Here is the deal with the Nethergate Easter Egg (which will be made easier to find if I ever rework the game). There is some space in a corner of the vale that, when you step on it, makes a little message on the text area. At this point, there is another spot in the opposite end you can step on. If you do this IN THE SAME PLAY SESSION, the quotes on the chapter heading screens change to funny ones. It's ridiculously obscure. I did better in other games. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

Which dialogue, when I discovered it, reminded me of the shifting target audience. From Burma Shave to this... Well, G4 and A5 are yet to come, and I look forward to what Jeff has for us there. -------------------- Lifetime Spiderweb Gamer and Fan of Classic Style Graphics Posts: 42 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00
Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Thursday, March 9 2006 01:20 Profile #32 quote: Originally written by Spidweb: ""Fiesty slap of pain!" was the only monk quote that originated with JV." Actually, I lifted that from a comic strip. But I honestly can't remember which one, and Google didn't help me. Google is worthless. I seem to recall (20 years ago) reading a similar phrase in Dragon Magazine, possibly from Wormy or Snarfquest. Recent checks of old issues have been worthless for verification, but have been interesting. -------------------- WWtNSD? Posts: 4114 \| Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00
Red_Sage Apprentice Member # 374	written Saturday, March 11 2006 22:23 Profile #33 How about X and the his research on the ultimate spell of dropping anvils from the sky unto the head of enemies? That was pretty amusing. Posts: 32 \| Registered: Tuesday, December 11 2001 08:00
Randomizer Law Bringer Member # 6785	written Sunday, March 12 2006 05:07 Profile #34 In A4, X is finally out of the library and both his new tower and old office have anvils in them. I guess he has started trying out his spell. At least he doen't ask us to stand there while he tries that one out. Anyone want to guess which recently dead wizard X is trying to raise with his failed shade exoeriment? I think X is going for Erika. Posts: 4643 \| Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00

Walter Infiltrator Member # 878	written Sunday, March 12 2006 16:42 Profile #36 X first spoke of an anvil dropping spell back in the orginal exile game I think, and I think he has mentioned it in every game since that he has appeared in (in Avernum 1 he actually gives you a quest to find where a large anvil is located). -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 \| Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, March 12 2006 20:10 Profile Homepage #37 In E1 he asks you who has the largest anvil. In A1 he asks you to visit Bargha's library. The priest in the ToM gives you the anvil quest, I think. —Alorael, who isn't very certain of that. Among other problems, it makes absolutely no sense. Priests don't need to have anvils.

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Monday, March 13 2006 07:34 Profile Homepage #38 I don't remember anything anvil-related in A3. When you talk to X then, he talks about the Xian items. In fact, X is coherent in A3, and almost sane. Hopefully, he's back to his usual self in A4. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.
