I'm wondering if there is anything you can do to the altar in the deep caverns Morog sends you to. I did a few searches, but couldn't see anything related to that altar. I've cast ritual of sanctification 4 times, but still haven't been able to do anything. -------------------- Backwater Calls is the best BOA Scenario to date!!!

1--Khoth in ZKR. It was pretty tough. I eventually summoned a bunch of beasts with Major Call, then used a rod of Arcana while I was still friendly. Then I shot Koth from a distance, and my summoned beasts protected me from his 200 point hits. He dropped the eye of Khoth and Khoth's amulet, two of the coolest artifacts in the game. 2--Demon Gate battle in Backwater Calls: It took me quite some time to actually survive the first round of their attacks. After that, it was pretty easy, as I got my spellcaster hasted and cast Arcane Shield on everyone. Those Hellish Troopers that attack six times each, every round, are tough! 3--Morog, in ZKR. She kept summoning things, I simulacumed her, and my simulacrum kept summoning things, and there was a huge battle between our summoned beasts, until my archers took her out. 4--Selucia in DWTD: I killed Vakhos, that wasn't too bad, then I killed the dude who ruled Selucia. That was pretty epic, as the Elite Soldiers kept on coming....not to mention the escape from the city. Then, when i wanted to leave the scenario, I had to fight my way through that small fort. Pretty fun! 5--Demon Statue in Canopy: The statue, coupled with the invisible bugbears, was quite a challenge. I eventually had to use Arcane Summon and a bunch of Energy Elixers to beat the statue. That dude hit pretty hard! 6--Battling the Empire in A Small Rebellion: They had a bunch of guys who hit really hard...great fun! 7--Worm pit in ZKR--It seems like my leading adventurer always got killed by those worms, so I had to keep restoring it. I eventually simulacumed one of them, then fought them, with my monster, and it was a lot easier. 8--Plate Queen: That was cool...she kept spitting out all these little plate bugs 9--Alien Beasts: Those things were WAY tough for my beginner party to defeat, especially on the trek to the final tower. 10--In A Perfect Forest, fighting that monster, trying to position mirrors, constantly healing my party....a tough battle! -------------------- Backwater Calls is the best BOA Scenario to date!!!

Should he be sitting on the throne during his dialogue? Maybe I just need to download an updated version from the BOA Center. I'll try that and post again.... -------------------- Backwater Calls is the best BOA Scenario to date!!! Posts: 8 | Registered: Wednesday, March 16 2005 08:00 |

Oh, by the way, this scenario is by FAR the best submitted scenario I've played for Blades of Avernum. In all of the other ones I felt EXTREMELY limited to what I could do, mainly because if you strayed from the author's path even a little, your whole party was killed, etc., etc. Smoo, yours has NONE of that feeling. I could do the quests when i wanted how I wanted, each dungeon felt different, there weren't a lot of those EXTREMELY annoying "cutscenes" that seem to be so popular among scenario authors, and the story was GREAT, implementing things from the original Exile/Avernum storylines, as well as building a lot of your own lore/story. I LOVED IT, and anxiously await the your next gem!!! -------------------- Backwater Calls is the best BOA Scenario to date!!! Posts: 8 | Registered: Wednesday, March 16 2005 08:00 |

Yeah, I looted his treasure room, but he isn't anywhere. I've never talked to the rebels, I entered through the main gate (killing two haakai and a whole bunch of other demons, wouldn't have been able to do it without "Arcane Shield"), but there is no haakai. I'll restore a savegame I made before entering the throne room and try it again. Is he supposed to just be there, or do I have to look for him somewhere? -------------------- Backwater Calls is the best BOA Scenario to date!!!

After I enter the final Haakai's throne room, he monologues a bit then gets hit by the beam from my Demon Necklace charm, then I fight two demons and four demon stalker/centurion things, but the barriers are still in front of the portal, and the final Haakai is nowhere to be found. Am I missing something? -------------------- Backwater Calls is the best BOA Scenario to date!!! Posts: 8 | Registered: Wednesday, March 16 2005 08:00 |
