Hi, I'm currently stuck in the Scenario SHIPWRECKED and I'm looking for suggestions. I think I'm near the end, in an isolated area that I was transported to called Cherayeng (Upper and Lower Core). I seem to have solved all but one puzzle and I can't get out of this area. The only puzzle I have not solved will open the gates to a room that appears to contain 4 boxes. When I come up to the gate, a messages says "There is another locked gate in your way. This one has three depressions on the ground, which are colored red, green and blue respectively. You don't have anything which is the right size and color to fill all three sockets." The message is right in that I have checked my inventory and special items and I do not have and colored stones, although I seem to remember picking at least two of them up. Also , when using Far-sight I do not see any passages out of this area. Does one of the boxes contain a teleportation spell? Any suggestions? :confused: Thanks.

There should be a room with several blue stones and control panels around somewhere. The panels should be another puzzle to turn the blue stones into the three colors you need. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

I just checked, there's nothing back there but treasure. Having never actually completed the scenario, I don't know why or how you're stuck. However, I should warn you that this scenario is extremely buggy, as it was never supposed to be released. You may have to use the character editor to pull your party out of the scenario. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Thanks Dikiyoba and Nioca. You guys always seem ready to help out. There are three columns just outside of the problem gates. When I touch them, they seem to take stones that I apparently have but cannot see and change their colors, but I can't make any sense of the changes. The person who created this scenario (nlambert1 ?) didn’t finish the read-me files to describe this puzzle. I finally gave up and used the editor to leave the town. I hope the scenario will still work. I also hope there will be another batch of scenarios for Blades of Avernum soon. Do you know why the scenarios aren't published on the Spiderweb site like they used to be? :) Posts: 20 | Registered: Friday, July 25 2003 07:00 |

Scenarios that are submitted to Spiderweb are put on the tables, although it takes a little (understatement) while for Jeff to host them.

Another group of scenarios should be coming out sometime in February and March for the 1/10 Short Scenario Contest. A list of those who plan to compete can be found here. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

When you say the scenarios are "put on the tables" can you tell me where those tables have gone? It used to be easy to find the scenarios and their ratings, but it seems to me that they have pulled the tables off of the Spiderweb site. If you can find them, can you post a link? Thanks :) Posts: 20 | Registered: Friday, July 25 2003 07:00 |

They're right here. (They are too hard to find, though, you're right. Dikiyoba can only find it by going to the Games section, then to the botton of the BoA page. There might be an easier way that Dikiyoba missed, though.) Edit: Typo. [ Monday, January 29, 2007 09:31: Message edited by: Dikiyoba ] Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

I think it must have been easier at one time, or I never would have found it. I thought that clicking on the BoA icon in the "Download" section would immediately start a download. Since I already had the game I was reluctant to press the icon. It will stop many people from going any further. You people really work hard at creating these scenarios and I think they should be more prominently displayed by Spiderweb. It is the gamer-created scenarios that make BoA playable well after the original group of Spiderweb scenarios are played out. If it weren’t for your extra scenarios, I would not come back to the Spiderweb site month after month, and then I would not see or buy Jeff’s next game. I believe his success is a direct result of the effort put into these scenarios. Keep up the good work! :) Posts: 20 | Registered: Friday, July 25 2003 07:00 |

Wow. First off, thank you Foxman. It's always good to hear a bit of positive feedback from people who aren't designers... sometimes it seems like we're just making scenarios for one another. Jeff has said a lot about BoA, and I won't rehash his comments here... but there are some of us who still really believe in the potential of BoA. Oh, and the "real" tables are here, if you didn't know. No scenario is omitted, and the most recent versions are almost always there. The advantage of having an independent designing community with a bunch of collective webspace is that we can update everything much quicker than he can, so Jeff can just get back to keeping the company running. :D EDIT: Fixed link.

Thanks for the links guys, I've put them in my "favorites". Just one more comment on this thread and then I'll shut up about it. I am sure that there are many BoA fans like me who have PLAYED it for years but will not be content creators like you. So, I’ll speak now for the “Lurkers”. Most of the topics on the Spiderweb Message Board are between you "creators" so we usually don't chime in because we don't really have that much to offer to the discussion. That does not mean it is not good reading though. I brown-bag it here at work and sit at my computer at lunch hour, ready to answer phoned in tech support questions. Between calls I play my Spiderweb games or read the forum content. I like the Spiderweb games because they will play on a typical low-end office machine. The games are playable because they have story-lines unlike the mindless shoot-em-ups that make up most of the shareware titles. Your posts in the forums are stories too, with each of you having certain personalities from student to wise sage to cynic to boorish critic to comedian. The forums are like an ongoing side story line. I hope you don't take offense because none is intended. I thought you would be interested in knowing that the forums are part of the entertainment. Keep it up! :) Posts: 20 | Registered: Friday, July 25 2003 07:00 |

Yay! We're all clowns in some weird-ass drama! Well, maybe not *all* of us are unwitting... :P I want to be the Spanish guy who somehow ends up saving the world with his hair. Seriously, it's good that the people who play the things we make actually take an interest in this site. And it'd be great if you guys posted too. Tell us what you like! Or what you don't! Or anything!! Just get involved - we are, at the end of the day making scenarios for you. :) -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?
