Do you mean in the scenario Undead Valley? If so, the only real way to do it is keep slogging through the fights until you end up cornering her.

Hypothetical thoughts in General

Round Table on Morality, Theology, and Ethics in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, February 25 2007 10:55 Profile Homepage #73 Upon, I kind of agree... but I think it's more worthwhile to have a sort of faith in both ourselves and others. One of the things about hardcore conservative Christianity and the like is that it seems to depend on faith in a being that we seemingly cannot relate to outside of the religion itself, and whose existence we cannot be sure of. Thus, I prefer to believe in people, since we can be fairly certain of their existence, and it seems a bit more productive. (For the record, I acknowledge this sort of stuff, I just think it's not a very productive argument, though the brain in a vat concept is kind of funny.) quote: Originally written by Kelandon: *As far as I can tell by the original Latin definition, religio* had nothing to do with binding an empire together and much more to do with being constrained by the rules of right and wrong. This is rather comforting, honestly. So yet again, it seems like religion as a concept falls into the category of "Seemed like a much better idea at the time." -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Avernum 4 - 7.63 (10.0/1.0) in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, February 23 2007 07:49 Profile Homepage #29 quote: Originally written by Calphrexo: I haven't played Avernum 4, but I know the "Go here, here, here, and here, then kill everything in sight" plot is very common among RPGs. Does that sound like what's going on with the Shades? The majority of A4 is killing everything in sight, but the shades add a little bit of variety to this concept. You know they're there pretty early in the game, but if you even approach them before being fully prepared, you are struck down almost immediately. In concept, they are cool. In execution, they are pretty good. But the first time you're smote by one... ouch. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, February 21 2007 16:35 Profile Homepage #16 Salmon, what was that addressing? quote: Originally written by Waylander: That's funny. I'm an atheist, and I see the exact opposite. Religion is inherently detrimental to both the individual, and the collective. I agree with Zeviz here... and I think the problem is that you're not looking hard enough at the other side, Waylander. Heck, it's not even really a 'side'... you're looking at the constructs built around a core of what was for the most part a decent set of ideas (for exceptions, see Leviticus et. al.). Actually, I'm kind of curious. Waylander, how do you define atheism? -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, February 21 2007 15:35 Profile Homepage #10 Belief isn't a bad thing, and the ability to believe is a blessing. It's merely what people choose to believe in that matters. And as for religion, I've always held that it's more about the ideas than the structure, and people forget that. I mean, I'm an atheist, but I see a lot of worthwhile ideas in most extant religions. It's when people start believing that it's more important to go to church than to actually believe in what you're worshipping that you get problems. On that note, Happy Ash Wednesday, everyone! :D -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.
