Just wondering how many of you ever safely stole Motrax's hoard in Avernum 2 without cheating or the character editor. I did it in my game, but found for my nephilim with nimble fingers and wearing nimble gloves or rogues leather (those 2 items don't stack, no benefit to wearing both), I needed 23 tool use, as its a 30 difficulty trap on the alarm. I was kind of surprised that you can actually take his hoard without being caught, however dificult it was. Same for stealing the castles treasury (though you only get 3k gold and a blessed plate mail). You can also take Almaria's treasury without angering the town but you lose reputation, which is kind of odd. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

Yes, but then you lose reputation and the mages there are hostile to you, and I think they are of some importance. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

Then kill the Mages too. If they want some they can come and get it. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

Well if you want to do things that way why not go slaughter everyone to loot things in places like formello, silvar, and fort draco for instance? I try to avoid slaughtering towns in this game as a general rule. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |

I have tried several times to get to his treasure. Only in Avernum 1 and 2 it worked. In Exile 1 it worked, but in 2 there was this irritating statue. i didn't get to steal the treasure. Everytime the alarm went of and I was cooked by motrax (I did safely steal the treasure of (was it Sulfras?) in exile 1. He did notice it, but I managed to kil him. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

I believe you should be able to zip through in Exile with the combat-end trick. -------------------- "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!

If you go into combat mode and end combat several times, the party will be in different places, and sometimes the party is able to skip over things like traps, etc. -------------------- "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!
