Serious bad guy. The scenario's a comedy of sorts, but it's not a farce -- and because of the nature of the scenario and of the entity I'm using this graphic to depict, I'm a little worried about being accused of racism, so I don't want it to look ridiculous.

Lark's Scrolls [spoiler] in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, July 8 2006 17:46 Profile Homepage #14 Sorry; the previous two posts were made while I was typing my reply. There is a way past all the pylons without fighting any. Hug the walls, and turn back and try another route if a pylon sees you and initiates combat mode. You should be able to find a way through without entering combat mode, although you can always kill one or two (or run past them while hasted) if you get stuck.

Civil Unions disallowed in ACT in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, July 8 2006 03:31 Profile Homepage #197 quote: Originally written by Ash Lael: From my point of view, the conflict is centered around the line between saying "we support and approve of this form of relationship" and "we don't consider it to be any of our business what sort of relationship you have". If legislation to grant homosexuals rights is effectively and clearly tailored to say the latter rather than the former, I can't see anyone getting terribly upset about it. Have you actually been listening to the arguments of your own side at all? There are plenty of people who think it's the government's business to actively encourage monogamous heterosexual marriage at the expense of other forms of relationship, and who I am quite sure would oppose any attempt to remove the current privileged status of monogamous heterosexual marriage. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, July 7 2006 16:45 Profile Homepage #0 I need the following graphics for my scenario: * A dialogue picture that looks like Rupert Murdoch, only dressed up to look like a stereotypical chieftain from a savage tribe -- bone through the nose, feathered headdress, etc. If you can make a monster graphic to go along with it, that'd be great too. * A hot air balloon. I'd like at least three graphics for this: one deflated with the balloon part stuck in the branches of a tree and the basket resting on the ground, one deflated with the balloon and basket both lying on the ground, and one with the balloon fully inflated. * A giant holding a musket. Make him look as threatening as possible. Ideally, his attack animation should involve lightning bolts shooting out of the gun, and his death animation should involve a crack opening in the earth beneath him and him falling through. If anyone can supply any of these, I'd very much appreciate it. This is not a joke.

If you remember how that encounter actually went (and I don't blame you for not doing so; it was at the very beginning of the game, after all), you only took a copy of a portion of the scrolls with you. Presumably there are quite a lot of scrolls there, too many for you to copy in a reasonable length of time. The scrolls themselves are in a box in a storeroom in the northwest corner of Fort Monastery. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

He was a mage, not a shaper. Actually if they had been more strict with magic that wouldn't have happened. But they weren't, and it did. That's the whole point, isn't it?
