Walking with Spiderwebbers in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, September 24 2006 08:54 Profile Homepage #9 quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Ephesos -- Weta Ephesos likes giant intelligent friendly talking roaches and crickets. Both cockroaches and crickets evolved before the Mesozoic Era. However, the weta looks like a cross between a cricket and giant cockroach. Plus, as a living fossil, there's no need to worry about it coming back as undead. Hm... well, I guess it works. Not a very striking resemblance, though... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Backpacking pwns. :D quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Plus, no one in my group had to be evacuated or leave at resupply. A lot of the other groups lost at least one member. That's never good... I've had bad experiences with that. Imagine having your guide evac-ed because he fell down a mountain, the same day you had someone evac-ed for blisters the diameter of a tennis ball. Actually, what's worse is having to hike with someone who's injured... had to do about twenty miles with someone really annoying, right after she rolled her ankle. And we'd been making such nice time that day, too... quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: (At this point, I think I should explain that I'm going to Prescott College and that all new and transfer students go out on this backpacking trip as their first class.) We have a program like that at WashU... but it's a tiny program. That said, I took the trip my freshman year, and I helped lead it this past August. But still, to have that as mandatory...

Spell Poll in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, September 23 2006 10:47 Profile Homepage #6 Ahem... [i]RETRIBUTION!!!!!!!!![/i] But anyway, Daze might've been my second favorite, and Arcane Shield was downright overpowered. All the mage summons were disappointing, and the shade-summoners were overpowered (yet overcosted). Haste was a disappointment (every other status has ways to achieve group applications), as was Control Foe. The lack of a plural is a major factor. None of the priest spells were really that bad (okay, Control Foe), though Return Life was basically useless with the new death system. I'm really surprised that so many people disliked the shades...

Archery in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, September 22 2006 06:49 Profile Homepage #10 I always found that archery never quite measured up to a well-struck halberd blow, damage-wise. Increasing archery skills to that level would've required obsessive-compulsive skill monitoring, relative to my gaming style. And Parry seems to foil archery on occasion as well... which I have a hard time visualizing, much like Riposte. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

Jeff, Valorim was cool!! in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, September 17 2006 17:36 Profile Homepage #28 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: Good. Avernum should take place in caves. However, a spin-off game called Empire might not be such a bad idea. For the Empire! Like some of the moral choices in Avernum weren't debatable enough... I think I'd rather play "Kill Self, Win Prize" than play a game from the Empire's perspective.

Can't raise Riposte? in Avernum 4

I'm guessing that this was a typo, so let me clarify what I think he said. You've probably got an item that raises your Blademaster and/or Parry to that level, and you have to meet the minimum level without item bonuses. Remove those items, and gauge how far you have to go still. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Statue for khoth in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, September 15 2006 07:41 Profile Homepage #1 Now, I think I know what you're talking about, and I'm not sure if it's a Khoth item. But head for the SW corner of the cave, and look for a pool of water. Drink from it, then run straight to the SE corner of the map, and headbang until you find a secret passage that leads to a bunch of skulls on poles. Walk through there, and you're out. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.
