There is no choice in a poll for private wireless, is it? :( So I have 11 MBt/s of wireless at home and 2MBt/s wireless at work. Russia is still not a country, where wireless meets bloodsuckers. So far everyone feels protected enough. Complaining to be unprotected we come to deny DDK phones as well. :) -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

Seems like necromancy is the default option, unless you are lucky to die in Avernum in peace, your relatives around. Die hard in torture or violence - you become a zombie (or a ghost). Die in grief and sorrow you become a ghost. Die from a hand of evil magician you become a zombie or a skeleton Die from a hand of a demon, and even that demon won't be sure about who you transform into. -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

Tonight I didn't want to write down my dream, cause the only thing I desired when my alarm woke me up was to fall back to sleep . This night my 3-week old son gave a perfect concert all the night long. Still a pair of interesting thing I still remember. The first part was about me working as a guide in some sort of touristic expeditions. We just made a new route to an island on a river. The strange thing was that when you get to this island you have no possibility to come back. I'm not sure why. Something with the coastline and river stream speed. The second part was a dream of my already gone pets: a cat and a dog. They were alive and lived with me with my family, but time for them ran backwards. It was a dream like a movie, I saw several days in a very short period. But when I asked my wife whether she can tell me the reason why our pets become younger, her answer frightened me to death. She told me that she can see no pets at all. So when I pointed at them she told me that nothing is there. And my phrase in my dream shocked me: I think I should consult a doctor... I still try to figure out, what was that dream up to? quote:That was my reality yesterday :) I was fast, but they were faster. :( Edit: quote:Since I'm a newbie here, it is the first time on these boards I see somebody outplaying his nickname :) Next time if I loose the meaning of conversation I'll try to find an answer in a nickname's background :) [ Wednesday, May 17, 2006 22:16: Message edited by: Meeshka ] -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

Yes, it is. But sometimes I felt confused, adding more points to lockpicking to a hero I need to be a good lockpicker after a period, when everything he was doing was swinging his sword. Still, I like the idea that PC's have some "personal time", probably when they have a rest, and they continue training when you don't see it :) -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

Neither page opened. Still, I know who is Lovecraft. Just didn't understand the abbreviation. Plus from the link name you gave me I found a very humoristic review of Call of Cthulhu. Thanks, I didn't expect anything so funny. The author of a review burns. By the way, it is not possible for me to create something of clay at the moment I wake up. So I better return to pencil and paper, although may be I shall draw something instead of writing :) [ Wednesday, May 17, 2006 02:29: Message edited by: Meeshka ] -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

A clay bas-relief? What on Earth is that? Is it a real bas-relief made of clay? Sorry, I really don't know what it is if it isn't my first guess. :( Edit: And what is HPL?

The best way to remember your dream is to hold a pencil and a piece of paper near the bed. It is strange, but people who tried that say it works if just after you are awake you write down couple of words (not even sentences) about your dream. When you look at these words later, when you are fully awake so that you understand you are not sleeping anymore, your dream comes to memory in almost every detail. I haven't tried it, cause I don't believe. But to write something here I think I'll try. Now for my dream. I always see nightmares if I sleep on my back. Always. Tonight was it. I was along with some company on a strange Island in an ocean (at least a lot of water around). The strange thing was that its coast line all around the perimeter was lifted to an enormous height, forming rock coast. On the top there stands a building of roman-greek style with pylons by the peimeter and solid structure in centre. There are 3 of us, struggling hard to prevent a huge froglike (but furry and with sharp teeth) monster coming to make something bad to us. We make a final trap with a final hope to throw it off from the rocks. A simple shooting rope. Monster is too smart, so he can see it. Still the rope shoots and he flyes over to the ocean deep. But I saw that he was too sure about the trap, so I am the only one who is trying to convince the other two (a male and a female btw), that the monster is going to return from the other side. They already want to relax, so we have a conflict and they tie up my legs and leave me outside the building. That's why I'm the first who can see monster is coming back, hiding in nearby bush. Then I try to run with my legs tied, so I fail... At such moments I prefer to wake up, so I did :) -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

Question on D&D was no doubts an absurd one. But the answer... Enough to say, I've put that question not expecting any answer. Thanks for replying, though. :) Next life I'd prefer to be a slith to have a mere opportunity to become a mighty avatar ina "afterlife", then to be a Vahnatai and become a Crystal for any achievements at the end. Still I know I'll be an oak tree. Too dumb, I guess. -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

At first I thought not only about the caves, but of the surface, as well. Still, at the northern side I expect to meet the eternally frozen caves. I think that Ice Lizard should originate from north to keep the proper fauna balance. Otherwise their existence is a bit of nonsense from the point of evolution. May be :) -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

quote:Vampires are which one then? And here I can see the first type can transform into second, after it "decays" to the end? I've never heard of such thing in necromagic. And just for example, an elven vampire holds another name. I won't make a list, but the names of the "undead" of different races differ, I think, due to some racial traditions :) . May be not on Ermarian space, though. Still, the argument that we just can't make a concrete conclusion which race this or that undead came from is rather serious. I think that's what I wanted to hear. Still it makes fighting animated flesh (summoned ghost) a bit dull. I hate undead, they are all the same :) Edit: missed an interesting phrase. Yes, the games and the books describe undead as a rule. Avernum was, I think, the first game, where necromagic is not explained.

quote:Were there? Hmm, I have to play it again then. I can not recall anything of that sort mentioned. "ready to be turned into undead"? No sir, no spark of light in my memories, except the same things in TES3 series, but that's not from here. As for Vahnavoi, those were the creatures I think to be more ghosts (sorry, not the spirits of course). May be I am wrong. And it may seem that my sclerosis is playing tricks, but also I can't remember any necromancer met or even mentioned. Along with such type of magic. Were all the undead made by demons or cruel fate circumstances (the dark pit E1/A1)? May be I'm a bit too scrupulous with Avernum, comparing its magic stuff with some magic schools canons from other RPGs? As for giving a Repel Spirit vulnerability to any creature - why not give such to Slith Avatars? -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

Just a thought for a detail in Avernum 5: - I want to see snow in the game and everything which accompanies it: nations, creatures, landscapes. Sorry if I missed too much, skipping A4, still I understand, that no action there took place in some northern areas. Thinking of a new area to discover may be it will be for good to remember some geographical traits of an human-inhabited planet? That's not a plot suggestion, still seems to be an interesting trait. N.B. Saying "snow" I don't mean "winter". -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |

More it is a way to get acquainted with the best smith in Avernum and surface - Boutell. :) And in E2 if you dare fighting Garzahd in hand-to-hand, not only with arrows of light and Repel spirit, Demonslayer will come in handy. And if you write a story of Demonslayer, you can imagine it once belonged to Karzoth, who died in First Expedition, so if you feel like his scion, you have the right to inherit this artefact and be proud of it. It's a pity I don't have much time right now to think more over a point of a Demonslayer... :) [ Thursday, April 13, 2006 22:44: Message edited by: Meeshka ] -------------------- 9 masks sing in a choir: Gnome Dwarf Slith Giant Troll Troglo Human Nephil Vahnatai "If the mask under mask to SE of mask to the left of mask and to the right of me is the mask below the mask to the right of mask to the right of mask below me is the same, then who am I?" radix: +2 nicothodes: +1 salmon:+1 Posts: 203 | Registered: Tuesday, March 14 2006 08:00 |
