As far as I know you don't need Nature Lore, or if you do you don't need much; you just need to run into all the stones in the correct order. And unless I'm deeply mistaken, the reward is a ring. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Use the opening stone whenever you see a green barrier. You'll use the Crystal of Power right at the end, after you've turned on the power to the Major Waste Depository. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Scenarios outside the Avernum world are fine. Most of the best BoE scenarios are only tenuously connected with the Avernum storyline, if at all.

There's a Fourth Stone (or rather, a Last Stone). It looks just like the other three, although I forget where it is. When you find it, you'll find a nice little piece of treasure buried under it. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

You can also get a shield, I believe; the rewards depend on which items you give him *after* you've bought passage with the first one. Unfortunately, the shield also sucks. I liked the slippers, though; honestly, can you think of any item of footwear from any scenario that's more useful? Of course, I still killed Khoth afterwards. On Torment, this required the use of a Heroic Brew, as Khoth did enough damage to cripple or kill any of my PCs in one round even with Enduring Barrier.

The Cloud of Blades thing was in Avernum 3 as well. I think you may as well consider it a feature by now. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Do you have the spells Capture Mind and Simulacrum from the Vahnatai? Those are both very effective against the Altered Beasts, if you're having trouble. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Yeah, I found those eyebeasts (and killed them). There's a secret passage in the mountainside to get to them. It's a dead end; the only thing there is the eyebeasts. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

They're roughly similar, but don't expect to paste a script from one game into the other and have it work. Sorry. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

The world of Avernum is divided into the surface and Avernum. The surface is ruled by the Empire: a mostly-benevolent dictatorship currently run by Empress Prazac. The surface contains four continents: Aizo and Pralgad, the most "civilised" continents, Vantanas, an inhospitable jungle continent with vast natural resources, and Valorim, wild and only recently settled. Avernum is an enormous series of caves extending below the surface, with at least one known mouth in Valorim. It was once used as a prison by the Empire. After the assassination of Emperor Hawthorne, a war between Empire and Avernum, and the exiles' defence of the Empire from the Vahnatai (see below), the people of Avernum were given a parcel of land in Valorim. Some moved to the surface; others chose to stay in Avernum. Avernum is ruled by King Micah, who has one arrogant fool of a son, Chevyn. There are three main non-human races: Nephilim: Feline humanoids (cat-people). Rare due to past wars and purges by the Empire. Tend to live in small, isolated tribes on the surface or in Avernum. Often resort to banditry for survival. Slithzerikai: Reptilian humanoids (lizard-people). Highly skilled fighters, traditionally using two-pronged spears, and also have significant magical ability. Most are peaceful and live in caves deep below the human-inhabited parts of Avernum. A few live in the upper caves; some of these are at war with humans, and some others aren't. Ectothermic ("cold-blooded"), so prefer warm environments. Vahnatai: Weird spindly insect things. Agile and intelligent. Once lived on the surface but now confined to the deeper caves of Avernum, below human-inhabited areas. Extremely long-lived: entire clans frequently hibernate for centuries when resources are scarce. Practise a form of ancestor-worship: their most revered leaders come back to life after death in the form of crystals, known as Crystal Souls. Names are hyphenated: major leaders (the sort who are candidates for being Crystal Souls) have names ending in -Bok, mages have names ending in -Ihrno, minor leaders have names ending in -Tel, and so on. Some clans of Vahnatai are at war with humans due to an incident involving the Empire kidnapping Crystal Souls, but others aren't. Oh, and the planet on which the Avernum series takes place is known as Ermarian for historical reasons. That's most of what you really need to know to make scenarios. I predict we'll see this topic turn into a spirited debate on the finer points of Ermarian history within, oh, half an hour or so. Be warned that a good deal of what others will try to tell you consists of conjecture and assumption, and is not considered canonical.
