Way back when, it was always a 'challenge' in the Ultima series to kill Lord British. So, apropos of nothing, has anyone tried to kill King Micah in Avernum 1? Any luck? Any haunted dreams? Posts: 148 | Registered: Tuesday, December 7 2004 08:00 |

I have never tried it, but if you kill an important figure in the game, don't you get killed yourself? I mean, not in battle but after you acutally kill him wouldn't you get a message saying something like this: "You strike Micah down, but the whole of the town guard come rushing in, and in a matter of moments you are all dead." I think something like that would happen.... -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

I tried it in Exile, and that's pretty much what happened. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

That is what happens in Avernum III. In fort Emergence when you commit a crime it brings up a message stating that "because you did this you are deemed unfit for the job, and are thrown into the deepest dungeon, and left there to rot." Or something like that anyway. Stay on the right side of the cops. ;) -------------------- The whole purpose of your life Might just be to serve as a warning to others.

Or just kill them with field spells(protective circle) or quickfire.... Edit: On reflection this is Avernum no Exile, and I never really spent enough time going through all the possibilities in A1 or 2 so I really have no idea. perhaps a summoned creature and then field of blades?

I am sure that I don't need help figuring it out, I just haven't tried in the Avernum series. But 10 reasons. 1) He likely has smelly feet 2) He never leaves his little room and never talks to anybody but you 3) His name is not George, Steve, or Matt 4) His name is slander against the biblical dude of the same name 5) I find it enjoyable to kill him 6) Others find it enjoyable to kill him 7) Why not? I kill everyone else. 8) It is a way to stick it to the man 9) He likely has smelly feet 10) He has no other recreational uses that make me want to keep him alive. -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."

10 reasons: 1) Ultima I 2) Ultima II 3) Ultima III 4) Ultima IV 5) Ultima V 6) Ultima VI 7) Ultima VII 8) Ultima VIII 9) Because it's traditional 10) Because I can't kill Alaric [ Wednesday, December 08, 2004 17:25: Message edited by: Skippy the bush kangaroo ] Posts: 148 | Registered: Tuesday, December 7 2004 08:00 |

In Exile, if you kill him, it's game over, no matter how he dies. You can't even get that far in Exile/Avernum II, and I haven't tried yet in A1. Posts: 262 | Registered: Thursday, November 11 2004 08:00 |

I think that protective circle works. And quickfire almost defintly does. But I would have to dig to check and I don't feel like it. To lazy ( and not feeling like staying away from the books for the length of time that would take, who here loves finals) -------------------- "Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are false'."
