The Runed Halberd, with its 19+4 points of damage, may be the most damaging weapon in all of Exile. You can find it in the outdoors, on an island north of the Tower of Patrick. Other weapons have higher bonuses, like the Ravage Knife, which does 4+10 damage.
I have an Excel database with the stats of most (if not every) items in Exile. And monsters, and shops ... :) If you have any use for it, just tell me.
There are five sages in Exile, though I can't remember their identification prizes (I didn't list them as shops). They are: Walner (Fort Duvno), Brantford (Tower of the Magi), Julio (Almaria), Leith (Blosk) and Cynthia (Bargha).

New graphics are always welcome, specially when they look as great as these. :cool:

The keys are the colored orbs you found here and there. Each barrier needs a certain orb (green, or blue, or red ...), put on the nearby platform.
I haven't made a real hint map for this dungeon at my site, but try looking at these maps, where the platforms show the orb color they require.

Try at the marshy point SW of Meikaprr Forest (at 152,369, IIRC).

E3: Crystal Tunnel, someone? in The Exile Trilogy
Shock Trooper

I'm working to update the map of Valorim at my site, adding the locations of EVERY town with outdoors entry on Valorim.
To make this sure, I got a text dump of the game, and made an index of towns. So far, I've visited them all, checking stairs, connecting tunnels and even ferrys. I've found the artifacts, investigated the New Formello murders, solved minor quests and finished all plagues. :P
But there's a town I can't find, though I know it's there, and I'd like to know if anyone of you knows it: it's the Crystal Tunnel, which is supposed to have a "secret storage" area inside. Could this town be some red herring? :confused:
Anyone knows about it, please?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that corner is a red herring, at least I can't remember ever opening the portcullis.
Try better the next test, to the east.

Pralgad or Pralgrad? in Blades of Avernum
Shock Trooper
Member # 136

Arancaytar, I think most possible "Eternal Empire" is the 'province' name of Aizo. I don't know if Jeff has ever made an study on medieval Diplomatics, but many kings and emperors of this age named themselves "King of This-Land, Duke of This-Other-One, Count of Far-Island" and so on. And the name of the land (continent) may be different of the political unit's name.

Pralgad or Pralgrad? in Blades of Avernum
Shock Trooper
Member # 136
Profile Homepage #17
Aw, Prazac! How did I miss that? :mad: :D
But it's, again, in Exile III. This is what she answers when asked about her "Name":
quote:
"I am Prazac, Empress of the Eternal Empire, Scion of Pralgad, Highest Lady of Vantanas, Mistress of Valorim. Welcome to Blackcrag Fortress."
As for the statues, they may tell more in A2, but in Exile II the texts are:
quote:
This is a statue of a young, smiling woman, looking almost touchingly innocent. Strange. The plaque at the base reads "Empress Prazac - Long may she reign."
and, even shorter
quote:
A plaque at the base of this rough statue reads: "Empress Prazac - Long may she reign!"

The first and only reference to Pralgad in the Exile series is found at E3:
quote:
THE LANDS OF THE EMPIRE |The Empire, blessed power over us all, controls the four known continents. Aizo, the oldest, is the birthplace of the Empire, although the ruling seat is now on the continent of Pralgad.
But who knows, there may be more in the Avernum series. :confused:

Phobias in General
Shock Trooper
Member # 136
Profile Homepage #31
Almost any specific phobia: animals (specially dogs & birds), corpses, falling (similar to vertigo), fire, loud noises, water (I mean swimming, I'm not afraid of washing nor showers) ...
Worst thing is almost something not previously lived makes its way to me I discover not a new experience but a new phobia.
But well, I've also found I can love a lot something I fear. Some people go to adventure journeys or go up a roller coaster. I just wake up every morning and go through my daily life.

Testing my first BoA map in Blades of Avernum
Shock Trooper
Member # 136
Profile Homepage #0
I've loaded at my site a map of Seleucia, home to Diplomacy With the Dead. It follows the same standards as my former BoE maps (i.e. 1 pixel = 1 tile), but as BoA priests don't have the Location spell, this map may actually turn out to be just confusing. :confused:

So, please BoA players, copy the pic to zoom it to your convenience, take a look at the town locations board (scroll down) ...
:eek:
... and tell me if more maps like this may work for BoA or I should try another style.

Or, more tangentially, who or what keeps these pretenders of inmortality?
Nothing grants that, just because there's a claimed method to completely preserve some Tom's body, anyone in the future will have any interest in reviving him.
And, while that future arrives, where is Tom's body and what are the means to keep him in good condition? Is there anyone making sure all works fine, or is all the procedure mechanical?
The life of a mummy-keeper must be weird :)

Also imagine: bio-historians cloning Ancient Egypt mummies, some powerful sect ressurrecting their founder ... or (yech!) ... some man-eaters in a future post-apocaliptic world discovering the most bizarre larder.

The only ones done so far, IIRC, are the Nephil Child (with no attacking pose) and a pair of talk pics. They're lost somewhere here. To find them amongst the rest of the graphics, search for "The townsfolk you always wanted" (last row) and "Aiechiewowa" (4th row, right end).

But by now I've completed only five wallsets. The "variations" under these are just, well, that, variations combining a wall background with a different wall's shape. :cool:

Well, I built a few walls more, but the conversion to GIF ruined most of them.
Following the advice given at The Lyceum boards, I've converted some of these to PNG format. Can anyone tell me if these work? Both to PC and MAC users?

You'll get the ritual for the Tomb of San-Racku only after defeating the three plag... er, menaces.
As for the Slith Castle, what portculli are you facing now) Did you enter the castle via Section 4 (S4), using a Slith Key? Also, the walkthrough uses the town names, are you sure you're at the 'Castle' and not the 'Fortress'?.

Good idea. Plus I've been working on walls, lately. :P
Would walls or cliffs imported from BoE do, too?

Do you play chess? The stones must mark the path for a chess knight. I can't recall now which exact tiles they are, but IIRC the 4th stone goes on the altar itself.
In case you don't play chess, the knight must always jump in angles, this way:

If you got some explosives, climb up to the "iniciation ground" in the bugbear village and put them where the "ground is weak". When you're finished, just climb back down.
