I just killed the Drake living under the island. There was no previous mention of him encountered in any conversation or quest. Did I just make a mistake? I have no idea if he is important later on.

Thanks, wasn't sure. Its dialog choices were a bit complicated for something trivial, which is why I've got a Bad Feeling About This™.

Well, he is a drake. And they tend to be a bit more thoughtful when they converse with you.

I don't think anyone important in A4 gives you a dialogue option to eliminate with extreme prejudice. If you get that chance, go ahead and take it. At worst it's a quest that you haven't found yet.

I can think of two rather important characters you get the dialogue option to kill... and both can have rather unpleasant consequences.

And of course, there are the bounty hunt quests... all three of them.

Drakes have been in the Avernum before Geneforge even existed. And the Vahnatai created monster plagues before Geneforge, too.

arghhhhhhhhh, register the game, for the love of all things good and pure. Just buckle down and buy it, so you can learn the plot for yourself, instead of pestering us.

Avernum without the occasional drake would just be wrong. Think of all the awesome treasure we'd be missing out on.

EDIT: I see you did register, now that I looked at the other thread... so play the stupid thing for yourself! You'll learn that hardly any of the drakes figure into the plot at all!

This really sounds terrible. I mean, it sounds like the sort of thing that would have me clear out an area pretty darn quickly, faster than anyone ran from anything in A3.

It sounds almost as bad as GF creations wearing rouge, or someone in BoA having problems with dialouge. I suppose it must be in vouge for a rouge to speak a monolouge like a demagouge without glancing at an analouge clock.

It's not necessary to gouge people about their spelling, Kel.

An even tougher one for me to type correctly the first time is "gauge". And the longer I look at it, the wronger it looks.

If I can rudely wrench the topic back to Reptile Island for a moment: I have only found one quest related to the island this time, but I seem to remember having two before. Any reminders would be appreciated.

As far as I can recall, the only quest involving that island was to find the way to get there.

Trinity, you're right, there are two quests for the island route. One you get in Silvar, and one you get in Cotra. I can't remember more specifically than that, but I know at least one request comes from a female, and one of them is from the boatmaker in Silvar...I think.

You're right. One quest (to find the island) is from Marshall in West Cotra, and the other (to find evidence of the sea monsters being there) is from Ruth in Silvar. You can only get the quest from Ruth when the shade isn't in town.

That's my problem -- there must be a Starbucks in Silvar, because the Shade just won't leave.

You can always come back after killing the shade and get the mission then. The reward is only 300 coins and a bit of experience.
