Some choice quotes that illustrate my ire:

"Combat is also very well done, I started with a level 45 party and ended with level 65 so one may observe the sheer amount of hacking required."
Hacking == Good Combat

"Dialogue is very well done and in many ways akin to Jeff Vogels."
JV == Good Dialogue

"I have yet to see any better implemented tek."
Canopy == Non-Existant

"Bahssikava is purely an Avernum Scenario there are no outside philosophical influences clouding game play. It is about Avernum for Avernum."
'Philosophy' == Bad

"In addition, the storyline behind Bahssikava is much more developed than any other storyline so far, including the ones that came with BoA. By building on the Avernum trilogy storyline, Bahssikava gets around what so far has been BoA's greatest deficiency relative to the previous Avernum games."
Demons == Development
(Nevermind that I still don't know what this deficiency is)

"Out of the scenairos that haven't been reviewed, Bahssikava feels real close to the Avernum storyline (a lot of A1 connection with the towns & names of certain characters) and was the most deep plot-wise."
Demons == Depth
Avernum == Good Storyline

"Playing this scenairo was enjoyable and fun to me as it reminded me of the Slith quest you had to do in Avernum 1, so it was a good flashback to come back to."
Kitchy Remeniscence == Fun

"Well use of cutscenes and parts of the story in Avernum 1."
Avernum == Good Storyline

"there are many really interesting cut-scenes and additional missions which make the storyline of scenario more complex (which is good)"
Sidequests == Complexity

"it's quite hard, it has tough enemies (Galthrax, Demon Lord)"
Crazy-High HP == Challenging Combat

"and some good laser-puzzles to solve"
Laser-Puzzles == Interesting

"It was designed by someone who has played the Avernum trilogy and this story is a flawless continuation of the earlier Avernum stories."
Flawless Continuation == Flawless Storyline

"I especially like the puzzles that I found in various places, especially the energy beams."
Laser-Puzzles == Interesting

"The plot begins following the Avernum series. It is true to the spirit and stories of the originals."
Avernum == Good Storyline

"It is huge. I would say it is comparable to one of the Avernum series."
Larger == Better
( 8=========D )

"The story is well thought out and well put together. There is a lot of attention to detail."
Avernum == Good Storyline

"The puzzles are pretty good."
Laser-Puzzles == Interesting

...

And of course, there are four 4.5+ reviews that aren't qualified in the slightest...

...

...

Pardon me. Continue celebrating as you will. But at least try and give this some thought and ask yourself if you want the community to go in this direction.

I killed Lucretia, took the silver coins from her corpse, combat mode bypassed the nodes checking for her death, and beat Tarquin in combat. I also wasn't very surprised that both towns had been destroyed, as I was personally responsible for both occurances.

Kel needs to understand the definition of context before accepting complements.

No, it doesn't. I still want that one to be done some day, but it wasn't worthwhile for this contest.

This scenario is for parties of levels 10 to 18. It will probably (but don't hold me to this) be sent out this upcoming weekend. It will be roughly 12 towns long, but that is shorter than it sounds. (There is only one outdoors section, for instance.)

If you're interested in testing, then please give me this information:

Name (or what you want to be called in the readme):
Email Address (needed so I can send you the scenario):
Platform (Mac / PC / Unix / Amiga):
Beta-Testing Experience:
Designing Experience:
Are You Imban:

(As a forewarning- if you did not appreciate the heavy-handed designing of Emerald Mountain or Canopy, this might not be the scenario for you. Keep that in mind.)

(You'll have to assign a variable to characters)

characters = 6;
while(characters <= 119){
erase_char(characters);
characters = (characters + 1);
}

Undead Horde Substitutes in Blades of Avernum

Originally written by Evil_Penguin:

Perhaps there should be a scenario in which there is an enthusiastic necromancer trying to raise an undead horde to terrorize the countryside, only all the local townsfolk have the "been there, done that" attitude. "Ho hum, there's a group of our fallen loved ones trying to eat my brain again. Strange weather we're having, though, eh?" Your party wanders into the area with the intention of killing the necromancer, but ends up feeling sorry for him and engages in a quest to help him make his plague more interesting. You get so caught up in your work that you end up recruiting the aid of various factions, like disgruntled environmentalist dryads/plant monsters, super-intelligent communist sheep (the worker's revolution begins!), a crazy suicide cult of some sort, and maybe militant racial purists. A massive war between the various factions erupts, and all are destroyed, including the now astonished townsfolk. The necromancer, realizing that you make far better villains than he could ever be, gives up his scheming and goes into the music business. Maybe he gives you a wand or something.
...that would be an AWESOME scenario.

Did you regain your spells after killing Shroud? It sounds like a much more reasonable possibility. Not getting anything back at the end sounds like you'd only not get Cloud of Blades back.

EDIT: You're using a god party, aren't you?
