Any of the Avernum scholars feel like fielding some trivia for me?

OK, so where all have the pixies shown up in Avernum games (and BoA scenarios)? What do we know about them?

They giggle a lot, cast spells, hang out with unicorns, get bummed out when you don't have emberflowers, and apparently think a couple of gems are suitable rewards... Anything else?

What's this rumored Pixie dust stuff? You kill them and pulverize them and it's a magic item? I didn't try, I don't know.

(For the purposes of my question, I am only interested in Avernum pixies, not Exile ones, if there are any, or any other games or references.)

That whole ground pixie for pixie dust part. I don't think that is from Exile/Avernum. I believe it is from.. Um. I don't remember what, but it was either a book or a movie. Dang. I can't remember the title.

The pixie dust comment was something related to the pixies by the unicorns in the KZR scenario. Something like "pixie dust is magical but extracting it is a messy process, so do you want to attack?" which I read as meaning you had to kill them (since the graphic of them dying shows them turning to what could be pink dust). I never attacked. I suppose I could find an old saved game and see if you really do get dust if you kill them.

If you kill them you get some "Pixie Dust" I'm pretty sure it blesses you and may have other positive effects, and sells pretty high, but if you kill one group of them all the others will fight you, and I think that the unicorns may become hostile afterwards.

Yes U get some dust. It cast mass healing at level 25. Nothing more than that. Yes the Unicorns do attack after.

I got some pixie dust without killing any pixies or unicorns. But don't ask me where I found it.

Maybe one of the caves residents killed a pixie then you killed them. You will of course in turn be killed by pixies. :D

:eek: I never would kill innocent beings when it's avoidable.
I found the dust somewhere in a chest, but I don't remember in which scenario.

I'm almost positive it was the artifacts hall. Especially considering it was found in a chest. That is ware I found it as well.

Of course it must be in the Artifacts Hall. But I never picked things from the AH. I'm not sure about the chest, but it was in a scen as well. (in AH are all special items from scenarios, AFAIK)
