Im pretty sure it would be easier for Empire mages simply to destroy the Avernites, than it would be to transport them to another world Anyway, that doesnt look to be Jeff's style. Edit: An edit a day keeps the spelling ok.

I am a great fan of George R.R. Martin. He has a nice way of breaking some of the clichés in the fantasy genre. Gore Vidal has some intresting historical novels, and i suggest you read Creation. It even has a sprinkling of philosophy and Christian history (in the book Julian). Bertrand Russell wrote a compehensive book on philosophy. It is (to other philosophy books) comparitivley easy to read, and he has a good way of explaining the more complicated philosophical arguments and theories. Finally Bernard Cornwells "Grail Quest" series. Not mutch to say about it, apart from its fiction (but realistic fiction, no magic and miracles). -------------------- "Fair and unbiased" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

I have no idea what the problem could be. Maybe if you have slaughtered the Divine Lucre church the quest isnt available, or maybe you need a good reputation to talk to Sick Boy.

If you use haste and have a couple of good HTH characters you can kill them on your first go (need to be lucky tho). The invisibles will only teleport once, and as spy.there said, you can trace them from their beams. Most of my characters have slippers of speed though, so maybe youll need to pump up your AP before this works. I also suggest you bolster the HP of your characters significantly, or you'll be dead in about 3 turns. Edit: Might as well mention that the bugbear inactivity problem is still here. They just stand around as i kill them, and however much i appreciate this satisfaction of my greed for blood, it would kinda ruin the scenario. Seeing as many of the battles are quite intresting tacticly, this spoils it a bit.

If i remeber correctly the Haakai summon a few demons with them. If your anywhere near as strong as i was, itll be a pretty easy fight to win. If not, use the bless-before-battle teqnique. -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

Go to the underground and head towards the sothern exit. In there is a store room. Search the two big barrels against the wall. Then use the explosives on the stone pillar. I suggest you hasten you party before using them though... -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

I very much doubt Jeff cares. In fact, hes notorious for not caring. In fact send him an email, just on the chance that he answers. That should cause quite a stir. Ho ho. -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

All bones and no meat. Looks like the bare structur of the plot is there, but it could have been fleshed out a little. As Nasarius says, it looks like the begginings of a bigger scenario. If you do incorporate it might be intresting, but at the moment im not very impressed. -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

Valley of the Dying Things - 3.0 A Small Rebellion - 3.7 Sorry to say im a traditionalist. I like there to be a good side and an evil side, ot two gray sides, however realistic this may be. Za-Khazi Run - 3.0 Diplomacy with the Dead - 4.0 I liked it. Had classical (read clichéd) story and playing styles.

No error messages. The dialougue just doesnt come up when you enter the chamber, and you cant go up the stairs. The rest is normal (ie Moerder's dialouge, floating dioalouge, the forge etc) The ending was strange. Cant say i like it because i didnt understand it. Then again im not used to thinking.

No just a bug. Happened to me, but i quit the scenario and started again. It all seemed to work after that. Having a little trouble with Unumslich (how the hell im a meant to spell that, for christs sake!). I smashed all the orbs, killed everyone but him, and even got him to use those 3 statues on me. What next? Im only doind 1 damage every 20 hits or so. Edit: I got it know. Lucky i didnt throw those orbs away...

This topic has been done so many times, but its still so true. I hate having to put all my things on the floor, when i could have a chest for swords, one for scrolls etc. I wish Jeff would listen to his fans.... -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

I agree with your timeline, but it suggests that Alien beasts were known to mages before the plagues. This is doubtfull, seeing as the alien beats would have been identified by the empire when they re-appeared as a plague. Im guessing its a Jeff mistake. -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

Its probably to make the fight more winnable. I mean a few inexperienced adventureers would have little chance, but a few inexperienced adventurers and a few ancient dragons would do the job. -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

I guess its another of Jeff's mistakes, for the reasosn above. The alien beasts were definatley a purely magical creation created by RI, so the time line is quite off. And if theyre studying alien beasts it measn that the plagues have finished and, therefore, Erika is dead. This is a different Erika. But Jeff still got it wrong on the whole closing time of the school, becasue it was closed before the plagues, meaning they couldnt have researched the alien beasts. -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

If i know what your talking about what you have to do is repeteadly charge into that rune on the floor. But i suggest you firstly go through a secret passage to the north of the slith chiefs chambers, and kill the basilisks. They can be a pain... -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |
