Pyrulen:
Geocities adds javascript of its own to my simple FrontPage compositions. The site doesn't rely on cookies ... that I know.

'Scads of Gold' are lots of gold coins, packed in thick heaps along with other treasure. Good for dragons' troves or peregrination temples' vaults. :D

Lenar Labs:
I've often thought of The Louvre, but the pics I once sent as JPGs didn't work well, and converting my workies into 256-colors-GIFs kinda of breaks my heart. :o

I've just checked them, using my office's PC. All graphics pages look right. What type of computer do you have?

I finally found the time to finish a pair of Portal sketches (and one comes directly from BoE).
Are you still interested? If so, do you use Win (BMP) or Mac (... GIF)?

Help with new scenario in Blades of Exile
Shock Trooper

AC3 uses 83 outdoor sections of a total of 100 (10*10). And 154 towns, if I counted them well.
Exile 3 uses 81 outdoor sections of a total of 90 (9*10: Valorim takes 70, and the different sections of Exile 11), and 166 towns, no less.
And there are larger scenarios out there ... ;)

Exactly 7*10, if using the same scale as in E3 :D

And I have a maps site, with smaller maps for Valorim, Exile, Upper Exile, New Exile (SE Valorim), and many BoE scenarios.
In all these maps, the scale equals 1 pixel to 1 game tile.

Or, in case you are playing E2, in a bookshelf at the Nephilim Castle.

Exactly. There is a map for Slylark Vale, including some mini-maps for the School of Magery and info on the locations of most towns, too. You are free to copy the maps into your computer (zoom them to find the 'details').

It's been a long time since I last played Erika's Legacy. But the LEGHINTS.TXT file says "Get triangle from Neph town", then "get boat, go around back, look". Do you have a boat?

Don't search. Ask her about "help" or "study".

Clint's Sword is in a box (at 36,20) in the Slith Village (40,406 on the outdoors).
When fighting archers (or groups of spell-casters), this strategy works fine for my parties:
1. Every PC steps 3 tiles back. Warriors wait or stop, while spell-casters bless and haste the whole party.
2. Warriors wait (only fighting if the enemy has reached them) while the spell-casters launch their best area spells (Firestorm, Wall of Blades ... anything) centered in enemy archers (or spell-casters). After they are done, the warriors run to reach and kill any survivors.
3. Individual melees. Spell-casters may join (if strong enough) and so save spell-points for next encounter.

Religion in the Empire in Blades of Avernum

The Empire as I see it is sorta like Rome without the Emperor-worship
I'm not sure about Emperor's non-worship. According to certain book in both E3 and A3:
quote:

The Life of Empress Prazac (...) "It is said that angels appeared and the sky opened up in holy light on the eve of her birth. Eyewitness accounts prove this story true in legally enforceable way."

And this is a list of some of the temples and deities in the game:

CHURCHES, CULTS & TEMPLES:
the Anama (Bigail)
Church Of The All Knowing Goodness (Exile)
Church of the Bright Star (Exile)
Church of the Divine Lucre (Valorim)
Church of the Seeking Soul (Exile)
Cult of the Sacred Item (Exile)
Temple of Crossed Blades (Exile)
Temple of the Flying Spirit (Exile)
Temple of the Good Spirit (Exile)
Temple of the Pure Light (Exile)
Temple of the Surging Darkness (Valorim)
Temple of the Vibrant Light (Exile)
various cults (serpents, undead, etc.)

DEITIES:
Aescal (Aesculapios?)
Carrunos (Cernunnos?)
Elgar (the one who Smites)
the Emperor (maybe)
the Spider god (ah, okay, this one doesn't count) :P
"the Gods" (often mentioned)

I can't remember anything like that. There was lots of traps, dead ends and secret doors, and a last trick sealing thieves in the final treasury vault. But I can't remember anything about Nephil-whatevers.
Unless ... did you go back to Independence City, and bring Meirinkaprr with you?

1. From Al, in W. Independence City.
2. In a cave in the Catsclaw Mountains. IIRC the one at 148,225.
3. The passing of Events does.

And, in case you need a map for West Zinlasia ...

As far as you can go without fighting nor solving XP rewarding quests. As soon as you win any of these, at least one of your characters will be Level 2. :P

Sadly, not only many of the pics in Motrax's Lair are lost, but also Khoth's graphics arhive has closed.
I sent you a mail with some rescued goblins from this site, but in case it doesn't work you can try downloading any of the "Goblins" previous scenarios: both Deadly Goblins and The Goblin Attacks have custom graphics, though possibly the very same ones.
