The most beaultiful city in The Avernum Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, September 21 2004 17:49 Profile Homepage #1 Formello is a nice city. Almaria is nice too, but I agree with Formello. I didn't notice anything special that shot Silvar ahead of Formello in A2, but in any case the vahnatai cities are more beautiful if you like that aqua wall, green floor, blue crystal effect. I pick Olgai. Krizsan is a nice, quiet, undestroyed city, but Lorelei is the nicest when it isn't too demolished. Gale, on the other hand, is truly stunning when seen through a haze of skribbane. —Alorael, who has just realized that his skribbane blood content is getting dangerously high. Time to dilute that blood back down to a reasonable percentage. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Sigh. in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, September 19 2004 06:12 Profile Homepage #23 Back in the good old days, topics sometimes died of natural causes. They weren't always sniped, ravaged, or occasionally sliced to pieces. —Alorael, who will take care of sniping this one. It's time to play die the death!

Levy Buying/Selling Money Trick in The Avernum Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, September 19 2004 06:10 Profile Homepage #3 The idea is to sell items that are involved in quests that pay out more than the item's price. Unicorn horns, for example, can be given to Mayor Arbuckle in Krizsan, I think, in exchange for more gold than you spend buying them. That said, if you're going to cheat, why not just use the editor? —Alorael, who would also sell items worth stocking up on if he were going to abuse Levy. A Knowledge Brew will let you get endless skill points with your endless gold.

Sigh. in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Friday, September 17 2004 17:53 Profile Homepage #18 Nostalgia about the days when everything was better seems to be endemic. It probably has something to do with the human condition, whatever that is. However, if you get glasses that help you see past the rosy glow of the, er, past, you'll notice that things were not, in fact, much better. This is a general rule, and not applicable in all specific instances, but I've found that it holds more often than not. —Alorael, who still doesn't let that stand in the way of his reminiscence. You know, there was a time when the past really was better than the present... It's a shame it's not like that anymore. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Capture Soul/Simulacrum, help, please. (Different thread) in The Avernum Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Friday, September 17 2004 09:43 Profile Homepage #7 But yes, you can go back to Ghikra (or just about anywhere else) and buy the spells for any and all of your party members. —Alorael, who has also had fun with forgetting which character is selected when he buys spells. The editor is a perfectly valid recourse for fixing human error. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Galactic Core Bug! in Richard White Games
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, September 16 2004 10:26 Profile Homepage #7 What part of "No spam!" do you find difficult? —Alorael, who considers several people who posted here good candidates for unanesthetized lobotmy. He's not naming names, but think about it... Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
NPC question in The Avernum Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, September 16 2004 10:02 Profile Homepage #2 I stick with my four created characters. Taking the NPCs just isn't as much fun. —Alorael, who grows attached to his idiosyncratic skill point allocations. He needs those 10 points in First Aid!

Cyrstal soul in pyrogs cave in The Exile Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, September 15 2004 12:09 Profile Homepage #7 So it is. I stand corrected! —Alorael, who therefore recommends that you do not look for Vyvnas-Bok in Angierach. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
How Low Can You Go? Yet another 'I'm Back' topic... in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, September 15 2004 12:03 Profile Homepage #42 quote: Originally written by Archmagi Micael: Well, If you can't be BOTHERED to convert our EASY monitary system - :mad: use this! Maybe it'll help you convert it with your PRECIOUS US crap. ( I'm not complaing to the US :mad: stuff. 1 dollar is 57 pence, so thats nearly 2 dollars to a pound. It means stuff's cheaper for me!) :D - Archmagi Micael :mad: Go easy on the smilies! In fact, I believe the trouble is not the new system but the old, completely incomprehensible system. 4 farthings = 1 penny 2 half pennies = 1 penny 2 farthings = 1 half penny 12 pennies = 1 shilling 2 sixpences = 1 shilling 4 threepenses = 1 shilling 20 shillings = 1 pound sterling 21 shillings = 1 guineas 3 third guineas = 1 guineas 5 shillings = 1 crown 2 shillings + 1 sixpence = half crown 100 small unit = 1 larger unit is eminently more reasonable. —Alorael, who is sure he has seen a hilarious comedy skit about that system of currency. There is something truly astounding about any system in which one cannot always use increments of one denomination to reach the next denomination without excess.

The Best Bad Guy in The Avernum Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, September 15 2004 11:53 Profile Homepage #2 An enemy with a sound reason for being in the scenario at all, let alone your enemy, is by far better than anything else. Evil for evil's sake rarely works well, and insanity is even worse unless it's moderate insanity that plays a supporting role to character background. —Alorael, who doesn't particularly care about species. Humans, especially non-magical humans, are often less likely to fall into the Generic Evil Guy trap, but anything can work and anything can be trite.

Capture Soul/Simulacrum, help, please. (Different thread) in The Avernum Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, September 15 2004 11:45 Profile Homepage #2 You don't need your character to be level nine to cast Simulacrum or Capture Soul. You need the character to have nine points in the skill called Mage Spells. You can't cast any spell without enough of the appropriate skill. —Alorael, who thinks this sounds like the most likely cause of grayed-out spells.

List of Special Skills in The Avernum Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, September 14 2004 17:41 Profile Homepage #1 It doesn't work like that in A1-A3, just BoA. You have to get the special skills through various quests and purchases. Also, Fast on Feet is a trait, not a skill. The only way to get one of those is to pick it while you are creating your characters. Anatomy can be learned from someone in Paulsbo, I think. Find the giant spies and you'll get a few points. Barter can be purchased from a Divine Lucre priest in Lorelei. Blademaster can be bought from a drake in Northwestern Valorim, but I believe you need the Orb of Thralni to reach him. It's 10,000 gold for 1 point per party member. Find Herbs is the reward for killing some ogres for a vampire somewhere in the northwest. Note that while the ogres also give you a quest with a good reward, you can only help one or the other, and there's no other source for Find Herbs. Gymnastics is for sale somewhere, but I have no recollection of where. You can get a point from a pool in the place called the Woodsy Tower in E3 (and called the Fading Tower in A3, I believe). Magery is sold by Erika. It's expensive but worth it. Parry is allegedly taught by someone in Tevrono after you defeat the golems, but I've never gotten it from a steady source. There are a few points to be grabbed here and there, though. Resistance comes from a handful of Mind Crystals, and your entire party gets one or two points from Ivanova in Golddale for completing her quest. It lowers your reputation, but it's easily worth that slighty setback. Vahnatai Lore is taught by one of the Crystal Souls in Ghikra, but you can get plenty by doing a quest for Mahdavi. There are a few other places with some of this skill, too, and it's not very useful, so save your money. —Alorael, who hopes all this was helpful. And if he's totally wrong... Well, it's been a while since A3. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Cyrstal soul in pyrogs cave in The Exile Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, September 14 2004 12:18 Profile Homepage #5 There is no Crystal Soul in Sulfras' lair. It's in the fortress where Pyrog's lair once was. Another is in Angierach, and the third in the Ornotha Ziggurat. If you want more specific spoilers, post and ye shall find. —Alorael, who doesn't think a little thing like Quickfire would phase a Crystal Soul. They're rocks!

Huge images in Richard White Games
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, September 13 2004 16:47 Profile Homepage #9 Read the original statement. I am opposed to spam of any kind. Images are just particularly obnoxious because they mess up the dimensions and take forever even on broadband if enough people are posting them. —Alorael, who would be just as annoyed if people made posts containing several thousand characters and no spaces (or several words long enough to stretch the page). Nobody does that, though, so he'll stick with stopping the images for now. Don't try to be clever with this. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Favourite Part of Nethergate in Nethergate
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, September 13 2004 16:43 Profile Homepage #3 The stat system, definitely. Nether spells are also fun, although few of them were worth the effort or the spell points. —Alorael, who has to admit that he really enjoys playing the plot from two points of view. It would be even better if he didn't find the Romans painfully difficult to play as. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Happy Fun Ball in The Exile Trilogy
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, September 13 2004 16:23 Profile Homepage #5 Happy fun ball! —Alorael, who notes sadly that the original product was shipped to "troops in Iraq," and that the "commercial" aired slightly over a decade ago. Funny how these things work out! Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, September 12 2004 15:57 Profile Homepage #0 A picture is worth a thousand words, and the images used here would be translated to words written as strings of random characters. Please stop posting them, especially in topics that aren't particularly bad to begin with. —Alorael, who will start doing unpleasant things if necessary. Don't make him do unpleasant things. It will be unpleasant. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
A few questions about Galactic core in Richard White Games
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, September 12 2004 15:52 Profile Homepage #9 Once a topic is created, it belongs to everyone. Other people may value the posts in it, you know. And every time a argument came up, the original poster could get angry and demolish the whole thing. No, I think living with your own creations is a good system. I would lock the topic, but there isn't even any real need for that except for the disappearance of most of my locked topic collection. —Alorael, who would rather not be given good reason to lock this topic. If there's nothing left to say, just stop posting, and for the love of all that is holy stop posting images! Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
World Cup of Hockey in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, September 12 2004 05:45 Profile Homepage #3 This is simply no fun without Corey around. Even Rosy can't make up for it. Also, if you were a true pessimist, you would say that either way, you lose. Stop dressing in black, poseur! —Alorael, who realizes that this is a waste of a post. Please forgive him in the name of nostalgia for members who brought a certain unique something to Spiderweb. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Just out of curiosity, does this look familiar to anyone? in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Saturday, September 11 2004 11:18 Profile Homepage #10 It's Arctic's version of marking his territory, of course. —Alorael, who has no idea what the original symbol looks like. It doesn't remind him of anything, even Nike. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
A few questions about Galactic core in Richard White Games
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Friday, September 10 2004 14:14 Profile Homepage #2 GC is a space conquest game. You start with a planet, build ships, develop technology, build more ships, attack enemy ships and planets, and so on. I don't know if that's like Space Empires, but it seems plausible. —Alorael, who will add that Space Empires is probably better. It could be a remake of Tetris and it would be better. GC is less fun than zapping your PRAM for entertainment. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
clears throat in a bossy and threatening manner in General

Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, September 9 2004 15:58 Profile Homepage #5 The sovereign state of Spiderweb Software proclaims itself sole proprietor of these boards and proudly hails the CoC, may it govern the lives of all forever and ever! —Alorael, who would rather not have to lock topics for spam, especially when the topic in question is about not spamming. Thank you, and have a great day! Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
The accepted thing to do? in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, September 9 2004 10:43 Profile Homepage #29 quote: Originally written by Drakefyre: Macsrp, I've banned your Livid Fire account, and if you pull something like this again, I would be tempted to go after your other and main accounts. Please note this and stop welcoming Livid Fire. Not only is he not a new member, he is banned. —Alorael, who sees no reason for the topic to live. Welcoming the fictitious and banned is too depressing. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Newbie... in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, September 8 2004 11:50 Profile Homepage #61 This topic needs one last, possibly fatal twist. I feel that I must apologize for using the first person in the signature of my last post in this topic. I'd edit it, but it has already been quoted and I must simply acknowledge my mistake and move on. I deeply regret this, everyone. —Alorael, who assures you that higher standards will be instituted and all signatures will be extensively peer reviewed before appearing in print. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
