I have to re-read the Odyssey and Rama series again, those are my favourites of his.

I also liked "The City and the Stars"...

He was/is a wonderful author and I will miss his writing.

Then how am I supposed to kill that Hill Giant? O thought I must bring them down to be able to kill him.
The Hill Giants cave is south of Lorelei. There's a quest to free some soldiers and recover some possessions.

You bring down the barrier between the Giants and the Troglodytes later on....it's fun being in the middle! :P

How continuous is the trilogy's story in The Avernum Trilogy

I would love to live in Avernum! That would be so cool....except for the eating mushrooms all the time and the bad wine :(

Oh and one thing no one mentioned in the differences between Avernum 1 and the rest, is that if you play the Windows version of Avernum 1 there's a bug that you only move two spaces at a time...I found this really annoying when trying to get through doors and secret passages. The fix is to use the right click button and that moves you one space.

Xian Chain Mail in The Avernum Trilogy

Copied and pasted from Relle's Avenum 3 Walkthrough (which I could not live without, btw)

***start quote

"These are items created by X and sent to the surface (most of them, at least) with the first Avernite spy team. Unfortunately, most of that team died. The items live on, however. Not all of them are useful. Most of them only serve to take up space. However, they're very unusual and unique items, so I thought they deserved their own space.

Xian Ale - This is found among the loot held by the ogre who's taken over the dryad's grove. It will make your entire party inebriated (drunk) and once in a while, bless everyone as well, negating the negative effects.

Xian Chain Mail - This is behind a cracked wall in the southeastern corner of the Upper Golem Factory. You'll need Move Mountains to reach it. It's strong, but it comes with several unmentioned negative stat effects. Either store it somewhere or sell it, but don't try wearing it.

Xian Coins - The reward for completing the quest Find Mundt. They'll give you a few coins every now and then.

Xian Pouch - In the Sacred Booty room in the Cavern of Giants, where you find the Barrier Tunnel map. It will leak hazardous effects, mostly disease, slow, and paralysis.

Xian Rock - Found in the Hermit's Hut in Midori province. This is the same hermit who teaches the Ritual of Sanctification. If used as a missile weapon, this rock automatically returns to the wielder. It will also occasionally spawn regular rocks in your inventory.

Xian Shrub - Found in the Sharimik storerooms. It requires Unlock Doors at level 3 or a very high tool use. It will basically cause plants to replicate in your inventory.

Xian Slacks - This is in one of the giant villages in the Midori province, west of Dellston. The slacks give a great bonus to luck, but a penalty to your base stats.

Xian Skull - Found in an ogre circle in southeast Valorim. Makes random messages pop up from time to time.

Xian Tome - Found in the southwestern most room in the Tower of the Magi, in a desk. This merely cycles through all the regular books of the game. A fun diversion, especially the Tearing of the Bodice. Yum.

Xian Vest - In the very northeastern corner of Valorim is a man who will sell you this for 5000 coins. You can kill him instead, but just pay him if you can. The vest has high resistance, but some serious stat penalties. Not worth the money, or the merchant's life."

***end quote.

As for me, I think I sold all the Xian items when I found them...why don't you trying wearing the chainmail so you can tell us what the negative effects are?
