"Praise Randomizer I'm on the Anama ship," gasp Halfast, That priest was crazy. Appearantly the only safe place was behind him and his path of destruction.

With only one skyboat left, Halfast hunted for a clean cabin to appropriate. Tossing the previous Anama occupant's stuff out the door after checking for valuables, he decided this would do.

You can get one of the two keys in the slith temple and the slith fort on the way into the area. I forget where the keys are within each place, but I think the slith temple is in the secret area in the northeast corner.

Originally written by Najosz Thjsza Kjras:

Scientists are human beings; they are as rational and as emotional as anyone else, and what's more they make as many mistakes. This is why the scientific method exists. An ideally-designed experiment removes as much capacity for bias on the part of the experimenter as possible, and in every case where science has gone terribly wrong it is usually a case where the bias of the individual has been allowed to trump devotion to factual accuracy. When a scientist works within the scientific method, in his work he transcends the limitations of the individual and renders his strivings an instrument for universal understanding, an understanding independent of personal experience or cultural prejudice.
I once researched drug testing and for psychiatric drugs, there was extreme scientist bias. The so called double blind tests failed because the tested drugs have extremely visible physical side effects that make it impossible not to know who got placebos. So while the actual data shows no improvement over placebo, the companies push a "success" since they can tailor the data since they can see the results during the test.

When you add the failure to know how a drug is actually causing an improvement since the illness mechanism is just a guess, you can see why for most cases drug treatment may not be effective.

Let's shake things up and see if that helps isn't a great way to practice medicine. It's done because the government and insurance companies find that drug treatment is more cost effective than talk therapy and other time intensive methods. This is changing now that the costs for drug treatment have risen and it's being applied to case where the doctors know it doesn't provide a health benefit, but in the instance of dementia patients will make it easier for workers to deal with patients.

People are charged and convicted for attempted crimes because there is clear intent to commit a crime (accidental attempts are usually not prosecuted). Second, being incomptent in your actions is no justification for being set free. Stupidy is not a legal defense.

After all how many times have you read about a burglar getting stuck in a chimney or some other means of entrance and getting arrested after being freed.

Halfast looked around at the destruction. The Anama were gone in an instant. He had never seen so many killed at once and leaving so little loot behind.

He looked for something to use to cut the ropes that bound him. There was a fallen sword that with some effort he twisted so he cut his ropes. Once free, he figured, this confusion would be a good time to look around and see what the Anama had left on their skyship as well as regain his belongs.

Entering the ship he started at the highest level. He found the captain's cabin and was dismayed that there were no scrolls or potions to be found. They were poorly equipped for Anama. Oh well there was at least some gold coins in his desk. Further searching eventually led to the storage room with his and the other adventures' belongs.

First as long as you have the preferences files on your computer, you can download and reinstall the game.

Try just ending the game and restarting. I used to have lots of graphics problems with Exile III that went away.

The chief reason you will never see it happen is that prosecution can only occur if the perpetrators (president, etc.) are on the soil of a nation that will do it. This is why Rumsfeld and certain other cabinet officials never went to some European countries when there were attempts to charge them for war crimes in Iraq.

Bush is pretty much trying to run out the clock and hopes that there will be no attempt in this country.

You would need Jeff Vogel's permission to use the characters, graphics, etc. from the games.

You might ask over in Blades of Avernum or Blades of Exile about making cutscenes for more information on that question.

Exile II had the best plot and Exile III had the most to do. Exile I had that neat feature of recharging wands, but the engine was too primitive to play much after the other two games.

Halfast went over to where Vlad and Trinculo were sitting. Sitting in the shadows of the skyship, he had heard their conversation. He now knew that the Anama had him, but it seem that they were gathering up adventurers that were headed to the Northern Wastes to stop them. So far they hadn't questioned him and he would need some answers for them.

Halfast said to Vlad, "My name is Halfast. I got caught when they captured you. Do you have any idea what's going on?"

Halfast woke in pain. The last thing he remembered was that Vlad, the ex-high priest, was approaching him. Now he was aboard a skyboat from the motion. He wasn't happy about his situation.

He decided to wait and see what happened. There was no point in exploring yet. At small healing spell took care of the worse pain.
