Nature's power cannot be shaken. It cannot be turned aside, for the laws of life and the world are immutable in the long-term. - Teachings of the Order ---------- Gebra Ruins - Sister Quartz stared out across the clearing, standing perfectly still. Her tattered cloak had been patched with woven grass, and was in part held together by small twigs. When she wasn't moving, it was hard to distinguish her from a patch of shrubbery. Before the Time of the Star, Quartz had been dispatched to Valorim along with a small crew of druids and warriors to fight the Hunters*. They had landed among the Karnold Isles, and had barely gotten to dry land before the rakshasi stormed the islands. The people were unable to put up any sort of fight, but Quartz's band had gone into hiding in the more heavily-forested islands. Cut off from the Order, they never learned of the Hunters' demise, or of their return. Facing the rakshasi head-on, their methods grew more and more extreme... Quartz had been a pacifist before her grandfather was killed in the Hunter takeover of Kriszan, and now her peers on Krell would never recognize her. She stood stock-still, and a shrill whistle floated through the forest to her, accompanied by the sound of unevenly-paced running. The rakshasa burst through the trees into the clearing, with a wall of thick brambles close behind it. The cat tried to burn them away, but the damaged sections simply closed up and continued pushing. Tree roots surged across its path, trying either to trip up the beast or to slice its legs off. Sister Quartz drew her staff, a movement which finally caught the cat's attention. It glowed bright red for a moment, the same color as the rakshasa's eyes. Then, nothing. The cat laughed, a grating sound that Quartz and her crew had learned to ignore over the past few months. Then the earth opened up and swallowed the beast, closing with a flesh-rending snap. Sister Quartz smiled and called out to the woods, "That's the last of them!" Now they could turn their attention back to the Hunters. *Proof that I'm not making this up. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Hm... what glued me here. When I joined, it was the imminent release of Blades of Avernum. And it is definitely what keeps me here, even when sometimes I think I'd benefit personally from leaving. As for now, as another semester of college threatens to knock me out cold again, I hope that I'll be able to continue sticking around. So, so tired... -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow.

Heh. Wonder who answered Pacific Islander? Also, further proving the inherent broken-ness of polls, those choices are kinda odd. "Native American (or other continent)" is a little weird, as is lumping together all of Asia. Meh, makes me wonder when my university's so-called Diversity Week falls this year... -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow. Evolve where the food ladder has rungs to be reached."

Also, you don't need the parentheses in the condition line (don't ask me why). It can just be: condition = get_flag(0,23) == 1; -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow.

Wow, that's broken. So, some pointers. The way you make dialog nodes only appear once is through condition statements. (Look this up in the docs) It uses a line like: condition = get_flag(0,23) == 1; But the only time you should be using if-statements in a dialog script is in the code section.Two, you need more line breaks, because there were a couple of things that wound up on the same line. Generally speaking, give each chunk of the node its own line. Three, I caught a stray parenthesis after a text segment. Fourth, I corrected some spelling errors. I think that's all.
