...but you can't get the item from the upgrade mod unless you've finished Chapter 5...

I'm gonna raise a stink, I'm gonna hide it from sight, I'm gonna fill it with SPOILERS, so if you wanna get SPOILED, or if you wanna hear Pirengle ranting like Dennis Miller, highlight:

***I didn't find my first Mordy Swordy scroll until the duergar merchants in the Underdark. The only class that COULD get Mordy Swordy before then would be the sorcerer. But since I don't know if there's a PC sorc/Kelsey/Tashia involved, that's useless. The two pieces of item upgrade gear that offer psionics protection, the helm and the Imp. Lilarcor, require illithid brine and a control circlet, respectively, and the only places to find those in the game are in the illithid lair in Chapter 5. The greenstone amulet is from the corpse of the Unseeing Eye, unless you haven't installed Baldurdash, and then you can pick one up from a dead Mordy Swordy, but I didn't find my first scroll yada yada yada ad nauseum.

Judging by jinny's post, I'm guessing that she's still in Chapter 3, recently finished Windspear Hills (because she has the sewer key), and has a 10-14 level party good enough to bash up the evil sewer party. Now granted, knowing party makeup and gear would have made our lives a bit easier. Not that we're getting paid to hand out advice or rant off or anything. Giving someone advice involving parts of the game that haven't been reached yet, in my mind, seem pointless, with huge spoiler potential to boot.

I'll say it again, and this time I'll make it crystal clear: I DON'T RUN THINGS AROUND HERE. I can rant, I can rave, I can post almost any kind of crap that comes out of my poor tired fingers and my demented brain, but I DON'T RUN THINGS AROUND HERE. I'm not trying to enforce rules or make new ones. I DON'T RUN THINGS AROUND HERE. I worship (or at least jokingly say that I worship) the well-spoken wordsmiths around here, and give the best advice and opinions I can give, but...you guessed it...

I don't run things around here.

I wish people would get a Beholder lick of sense now and then. But in these situations, all I can do is gnash my teeth, play a hand of Cribbage, and hope that someday, sometime, somewhere, someone will get a clue.

But that's just my opinion. Of course, I could be wrong. *** [/QUOTE]Sorry and .... cool ...
