In Exodus, at the Bandit Camp south of Thassaka I have beaten the Bandits several times, but every time I try to leave after the battle when there are no Bandits left, it says "You flee the battle as more and more bandits come charging in. They follow and attack you from behind. You never even saw it coming.". Then my whole party dies. The Read-me file says you "Need to get Kalthanas's help or face auto-death when leaving the town". I have talked to Kalthanas several times to see if he would offer this "help" but he never does. For this reason I enter the Bandit camp alone and get auto-deathed. Any suggestions? :confused: Posts: 20 | Registered: Friday, July 25 2003 07:00 |

You get help from the cheif somehow. You might have to do another task first.

You are not supposed to take that camp, yet. My memory is terrible, but you need to bring the entire expedition to that city. After that, I believe Kass tells you to get help from him. Then you can take the camp. That was a little vague, I know. But I hope it helps. Even if just a little. -------------------- "Yeah-- you're right. You christians are far too persecuted nowadays.

I think this is a fatal bug. Do you have an earlier save before you enter the camp? -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Okay, this happened to me as well... the only way to get out of it is to use the editor and Take Out of Town. Then, walk to the north, go get the chief's permission or whatever it was, then go back to the bandit camp. You'll pretty much instantly be cleared to keep going. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Thanks for you suggestions. The answer was to go back to an earlier save, and then ask Pithoss what to do next. He then said go to the king Kalthanas and ask for help. That gave me the companion fighters I needed in the Bandit's Camp. I also tried using the editor to leave the town as suggested. However, that just kept causing strange errors that have me even dying in the lava fields with the text saying that the Bandits had surrounded me again. This was even though I was fighting lizards. :) Posts: 20 | Registered: Friday, July 25 2003 07:00 |

I don't think anyone in beta indicated problems with this section, but I'll give it another look. This is not by any means a bug — the scenario is working exactly as intended — but I might try to make what you're supposed to do a little more obvious. Basically, you're always supposed to get instructions from Kass or Pithoss before you proceed anywhere, as the dialog messages almost invariably indicate. But I'll give this another look. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

I think the 'bug' is that they can't weasle out if it using the editor. :P [ Saturday, December 30, 2006 15:00: Message edited by: Jewels ] -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

The main problem people have, I think, is that it's possible to save in the bandit camp after entering without help, thus putting the scenario in an unwinnable state. Making it possible to put the scenario in an unwinnable state is frowned upon even if it's intentional. I'm not sure what you could do to fix that, though.

All it would take is blocking the party from entering the bandit camp without help. An "Up ahead, you see an army of barbaric sliths. There are far too many for you too take on alone. You should return to Thassaka and get help." or something similar would do nicely. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Thuryl: It's so easy to do that in so many BoE scenarios that I'm surprised that anyone is complaining about it in BoA. But eh, I know, and my initial thought (without looking at it) is that I'll do basically what Diki said, which is what I'd been thinking before. I should get my computer back tomorrow, and I'll take a look at it then. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
