I've been carrying this little skull around with me for some time now, and other than learning little bits of information, I haven't found a use for it. Is there one? -------------------- Your mom's face! XD Posts: 77 | Registered: Wednesday, March 8 2006 08:00 |

It's use is the same as for Sylak's talking skull in Nethergate; it keeps you company and occasionally gives you hints. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

In other words, after the novelty wears off feel free to stash it somewhere and let it rot. —Alorael, who deposited his Xian Skull in Anaximander's office. The poor bureaucrat could use some unhelpful levity. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

quote:Sylak's Talking Skull was more helpful though. I don't know if I ever needed the Xian Skull's advice, but Sylak's skull told me where to find some of the Nether Arts spells. Edit: It's a pity. When I saw this thread, I was half-expecting the legendary Xian Skull thread of yore to have been resurrected.

I figure that people who play the Spiderweb Software games might be interested in a free MMORPG. -------------------- Your mom's face! XD Posts: 77 | Registered: Wednesday, March 8 2006 08:00 |

That's nice, but these boards aren't the place for advertising. Keep the ads off, please. —Alorael, who believes that the CoC forbids advertising quite explicitly. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I remember the Xian Skull telling me to talk to somebody on Bigail (don't remember the name, but she was a member of the Church of the Divine Lucre). That lead you to the Fury Crossbow location. I think there was another useful hint as well, but it was still mostly a novelty item. -------------------- Legolas! Boromir! Come quick! I ... oh, wait.

If I recall correctly, one of its most useless quips was "Hi, I'm a talking skull." -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

The Office Helper, I believe. Their only use is pressing the "animate" button over and over again when you're supposed to be typing. -------------------- But I don't want to ride the elevator. Posts: 420 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

Office Assistant actually. :P That rather annoying feature is one of the many reasons I prefer OpenOffice for most of my computing needs. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

You know, I've decided to keep the skull with me...It's still entertaining to here him say "I'm a talking skull!" -------------------- Your mom's face! XD Posts: 77 | Registered: Wednesday, March 8 2006 08:00 |

I always thought that it's the kind of item which runs counter to the over-arching goal of all living adventurers: not get killed. Imagine this: Your party is sneaking through a fortress full of angry giants, and you're blessing and hasting before bursting into the room where the chief sleeps. You've been successful in slipping past guards so far, and you're ready to kill the chief in his sleep. ... then, out of nowhere, "HI! I'M A TALKING SKULL!" Cue the guards, the death image, and a reload. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Except then he'll just complain how dark it is inside, and how much your gloves chafe... you'll never get away.

There was a Knights of the Dinner Table strip where Bob, the thief, successfully steals the treasure from the temple's altar in front of the monsters worshiping it. His victory dance to celebrate was ruled to have happened in the game attracting their attention. Ooops. So much for silent movement. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |
