I think you should be given the option to kiss her (the male members of the party of course). Adventurers should be more romantic, I would at least give her an apple. :D -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

I have the blessed bow. When I had to escort the Vanhatai under Almaria I was doing like 20-29 damage with my best bowman, then the Vanhatai started using his razordisks and did like 55 damage to the guards! wow! -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

I am already in Fort Emerald to do the Crystal box quest, but was wondering about the 3rd Test which I still haven't found. The shade in test 2 said "in the tunnels northwest of Cotra" but when I am there I just see the forest with a couple of entrances to the chitrach's maze, is that what the shade meant? will I have to go down there to look again??? :( -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

Thank you Thuryl! I have plenty of potions for very tough fights and therefore I haven't requested a lot of potion to order. I have a lot of herbs and was wondering how long should I keep saving them. I just reached the Castle and now I will definitely save them! ;) -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

Another question: can you make your own potions if you have the right ingredients? I am asking because on the way to Almaria (south from the honeycomb) there's this merchant nephilim who sells herbs and even a kind of pot to mix them, so I was wondering if I should buy it or it's only alchemists at towns who can make them?? Thanks. -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire. Posts: 292 | Registered: Sunday, November 23 2003 08:00 |

For Avernum 5 I wish there was some kind of food (?) that restores your energy for mages and priests. Apples, meat and all the food restores your health, but I wish there was another way -besides energy potions- to do it :( -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

Thanks everybody, I finally got all of them and the rat tails too ;) What I want to know now is what is the real effect of "static"? I've been fighting undead and some of them tend to "cover" me with static, but I don't see any strange icon or effect (like say curse or slow), so, what is static all about? -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

I loved those -be a hero- moments in Exile where you were told a group of soldiers had just been ambushed for example and you were expected to fight and help them for a reward later, that was great! or that Nephilim attack on Fort Draco where you had an important role defending the it. I really miss that!! PS: I don't miss secret passages or crate puzzles at all! -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

I am a programming-ignorant Avernum 4 player :P so could you please tell me how I can put those nice codes into my game to actually see the wand and not a code? And when you tell me the file, should I paste it at the beginning? middle? end? any place is good? Thank you and sorry :P -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

Dragonlady, thank you for helping me first of all. I have found two shipments, the one where the road turns (on a kind of wall) and the one by the bridge too, I think I am missing the one you mentioned about the lizardman camp, thanks! I thought it could have something to do with rats regenerating because it happened the same with the bat bits, I have returned and they are there again, so I'll have to be patient then, thank you again! -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

Hi, I usually come to this excellent forum when I need help and always find nice people willing to give their time to help me. I decided to create this thread so I (or anyone) won't have to be opening a new one for each question or puzzle we come across. My question now: I am already around Mertis and decided to complete old quests before doing the Cauldron spawn quest. Incredibly I am still unable to find the 3rd missing shipment someone in Fort Monastery asked me locate. Could anyone give indications for the 3 of them? I have looked at the walkthrough but haven't found positive results. Also, the "Rat Hunt around Formello" quest is proving difficult, I keep walking in circles but all I have found is just 3 rat tails :( For your time and help, thank you very much in advance! Marcelo.

I am starting to deal with chitrach around Cotra. Most of them drop a yellow fang, should I collect them? are they worth anything in the future?

Hi, I don't want to open a new thread just for one question, so here I go: a very simple question, actually, How can you give limited items to the other members in your party? like my warrior has 6 healing potions and I want to give 2 to the mage but I don't know how, I click on it and all 6 six are moved :-( I would appreciate any help, or maybe it's not an option? I remember in exile they asked you how many items you wanted to move... -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

My 2 cents: they are not exactly literary references though; A trainer in Silvar (north east building?) says above his head: "fortune favors the bold", it could be a coincidence, but that's the same phrase they repeated in the movie "Alexander". I can't help but link "captain Nathan" in Fort Avernum with "captain Nathan Algren" in The Last Samurai. The innkeeper in Silvar (who asks 30 coins for gossip) is called Bolivar. Simón Bolivar is a hero for some latin american countries who helped get independence from the Spaniards. I think Venezuela and Colombia were especially favored by him. (The country Bolivia owns its name to him). It's actually a surname, though ;-) -------------------- "Inspiration comes from hard work" -Charles Baudelaire.

Hi, Is it just my lack of patience or you're not supposed to see any arrows in the first part of the game? I am already trying to deal with the Formello quests. I have come across bows (only cavewood and yew) but haven't seen any arrow at all! why? how? Thanks. Marcelo.
