Alright - I'm always getting myself stuck in someting and asking you guys for help, and here I am again. I'm stuck in the stupid Dark Maze where all those fire lizards are and broken bridge over the fire pit. I was able to save my self some time by going to the Character Editor and changing the day, but I still can't figure out how to get out of the Dark Maze. Help ??

Well, you can skip the Dark Maze entirely if you help the unicorns. But since you're most of the way through the maze already, you may as well continue the way you've been going. There's a well-hidden secret passage in a rock formation just to the west of where you start when you enter the broken bridge town. Behind the secret passage is a lever which will unbreak the bridge for you.

I can't find it. I came to it from the north side - didn't realize that I didn't need to go here if I had helped the unicorn, I was trying to find a way out of Morog's area and couldn't find it and ended up here.

Ah. The passage is on the south side. Ignore the Dark Maze entirely. To get past Morog's domain, just keep heading north. It might be a good idea to do a quest for Morog first, so that you don't waste more time on the poppy shrooms...

But is there any way to get out of the maze from where I am?? I had to jump down a couple of ledges to get into the maze.

Man. Uh, well, you can probably go back the way you came somehow, given that south-to-north is the way you're supposed to go through the Dark Maze. Unfortunately, I always just used the unicorn route instead, so I can't help you with exactly how to get through it.

See, this is why you should keep backup savefiles.

Ok, yeah, I'm getting better at the saving thing, but I still forgot sometimes to back them up. Shoot, I didn't think I'd get stuck in the maze. Alright, what I'll do is use the Character Editor to get out of the scenario and start all over again. Thanks for your help!!

So where exactly are you in the dark maze? past the broken bridge or before it? In other words: have you passed that bridge or not? If yes, then where exactly are you? have you been through the place where you fight the human-headed serpent (Shoot, I forgot what its called)?

You probably don't have to take yourself out of the whole scenario; you can just use the editor to leave town instead.

I tried that, but the only "town" is the bridge, the rest of the maze is "outdoors" so I couldn't do it.

Yes, Thralni, I had already killed the human headed serpent, but I was not across the bridge. I had come into the maze from the north and had to jump down a couple of ledges to get to where I was. The next time I'll just stay completely away from that place!!!!!! :)

I have a new question - I downloaded the BOA editor cause I want to try my hand at designing a scenario (I know, a big job for one who can't get through any scenario without some sort of help!) My question is how do you do scripting? I've been reading through the book and it all looks very confusing to me, then I look at script code for an already finished scenario by someone else and it just confuses me even more. I'm having fun with the terrain and stuff, but I want to get some words in there, other than the ones in the town that is given to you.

Kelandon's written an article entitled Basic Scripting for Complete Beginners. It may be what you want.

Erik Westra's Blades of Avernum Editor Cookbook is also a useful resource.

Thanks! I had Erik Wenstra's cookbook, but I didn't know about the other thing by Kelandon - thanks!! It's slow going, very slow going. I don't even know what I want to do an adventure about yet, I'm just working on learning everything so that when it comes time to make an adventure, I'll hopefully know what I'm doing :)
