I played it with a party of 4. It was quite difficult but not impossiable. I did clear every crypt, although in hindsight I would have had a easier time if I had went to the library and the repel sprirt tome to boosts that's spells level before clearing all the crypts. Talking about that tome, I noticed something strange which I'm not sure is a bug or feature in BOA. When I read it, my priest got repel sprirt at spell level 4. Now I was sure that there were only supposed to be 3 spell levels per spell, but this seemed to have proved me wrong. Does anyone know if Jeff Vogal intended for this to be allowed or if its a bug. I would say zapping 6 undead targets for 60 damage each time it was cast with my level 3 priest was quite handy in the final battles. Posts: 61 | Registered: Saturday, November 3 2001 08:00 |

I quoted a bug about that spell, if you go again to read the book it increases again (of 1) the level of this spell. It seems there's no limit. And anyway level 5 is a bit high for a so low party, perhaps 4 is a bit high too. Posts: 175 | Registered: Friday, April 2 2004 08:00 |

A fun, brief ride. I played through with a party of four, and, forewarned by this board, made sure that two of the characters could cast Repel Spirit. That definitely made the whole thing fairly easy up until the four rubies. *That* just took a few reloads and a couple of tactical decisions. I admire your attempt to raise issues of morality, but I think that the scenario was a bit short to really effectively bring your point out. I liked: - the lack of random encounters. I think it makes sense that a civilized part of the world would have taken care of those problems. - the work done developing the cemetary - a nicely done area. - the linear style of the scenario. I didn't have to waste too much time figuring out what I had to do. This is my own personal preference - I tend to like Final Fantasy or Icewnd Dale II-oriented games where new parts of the world might open up but they don't overwhelm. Just my preference. I offer as suggestions: - Fixing the mage-looking guy seated in town who offers no dialogue options at all - that just seemed strange. Also, the door in his room wasn't one. - Allowing players to go back to town instead of barring their passage. There were some neat items for sale (assassin's ring) that would've been nice to get once I found more means. That's about that. I'm new, of course, and have no scenarios under my belt, but once I'm done with JV's, I reckon I'll give it a shot. In the meantime, thanks, TM, for being the first.

No, it doesn't raise anything. Neither repel spirit nor summon shade. I specially played it again. )( :( bug/ """" -------------------- Slartucker: * facepalm facepalm facepalm * Dikiyoba: Are you unconscious yet? Posts: 1420 | Registered: Wednesday, October 2 2002 07:00 |

quote:I have a save game party available. That wasn't for all my chars but for one, I quoted the message and now he has level 7 for repel spirit. So ok you didn't reproduced the bug, that doesn't mean it doesn't exists. In fact I'm better placed to do an afirmation about that, I'm sure it is, I have a proof!

Bravo on including the windows file on the site. Although I am still struggling through the windows beta testing and have so far not finished the scenarios that come with it, I will be sure to test it out at the end so i can give feedback to both u and Jeff on its workings... ...although thinking about it you probably already have done some sort of windows testing... how that is possible...hmph...I'm lost. anyways, looking forward to trying the scenario out. -------------------- I may come across sounding more official then I actually am. Or not. Posts: 87 | Registered: Sunday, June 23 2002 07:00 |

TM- I've given it a quick run on Windows, and it appears to run well, although I'm not sure if you meant to include a graphic on your "definitions" introduction. An error popped up for me the first time I opened your scenario. The one with the house came through, but that's the only one.

You should have G559 and G558 as the other two intro pics. BTW, did any of the other custom graphics (ie. the graves, Hana, roses, etc.) come through? Here's hoping that those are my only errors. (If, of course, 558/559 are missing, I'll update RoR to compensate for that.) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The rose definitely came through, as did the graves. I didn't get too far as I was using a level 35 party and didn't think that would be a good idea, but it seemed as though those two graphics were the only ones missing. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie...
