Confused!

eurycantha Apprentice Member # 5248	written Saturday, December 4 2004 03:39 Profile #0 New to blades of exile but not the exile trilogy. So having completed the in built scenarios i downloaded the much acclaimed 'An Apology'. Alas i am very confused. I understand that you start off playing out a dream sequence but i cant destroy the runes or even get there in time. Also i dont understand the HP doubling system whatever that is. And last but not least; my favourite exile game was exile 3- i like the outdoor treks and exploration and interspersed dungeon battles; any good similar scenarios? Thanks!

Dragyn Bob Agent Member # 14	written Saturday, December 4 2004 04:18 Profile #1 The HP doubling thing is just something that's built into Blades. If a scenario is meant for low level players and your party exceeds the recommended level all monsters will have double their HP. Also, An Apology has some hard fights. There are probably some hints floating around somewhere... -------------------- Dragyn Bob "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!"-The Divine Comedy Posts: 1481 | Registered: Thursday, September 27 2001 07:00

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, December 4 2004 06:13 Profile Homepage #3 From what I understand, the closest scenarios you'll find to E3 in BoE are At the Gallows, Spears, and Adventurer's Club 3. Those are huge, sprawling epics with lots of towns, outdoors, fighting, dungeons, etc. [ Saturday, December 04, 2004 06:13: Message edited by: Kelandon ] -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Saturday, December 4 2004 09:06 Profile #4 An Apology is actually the sixth scenario in a series. 01 - On A Ship To Algiers 02 - Of Good And Evil 03 - Heirs To Theseus 04 - Staff of Kayolith 05 - Redemption 06 - An Apology 07 - Lamentations 08 - Falling Stars 09 - Signs And Portents 10 - Tomorrow I believe that's the order it goes in. I don't know how related they are or if they stand alone, having only played the first two.

Sarachim For Carnage, Apply Within Member # 95	written Saturday, December 4 2004 14:26 Profile #6 The first five stand alone pretty well. After that, each one depends increasingly on the ones before. As for the rune battle, I recommend blessing and hasting your fighters, and backing them up with Wound spells. Throw everything you've got at one rune- once you kill one of them, you win the fight. It may take a couple of tries, but with luck, you'll get it. As for getting there in time, just don't waste time and you should be okay. If you find yourself short on time, you can save a few moves by moving in combat mode instead of town mode.

Sturg Master Member # 4614	written Sunday, December 5 2004 17:57 Profile Homepage #7 I recommend you try some easier scenarios first, like A Band of Wanderers, Bandit Busywork, On A Ship to Algiers (if you're interested in the series). -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00
