my first Tactics game continues in an exciting way [img]smile.gif[/img]
Spoilers below . . .
having run away once we'd rescued Mazzy (my fourth and final party member) we headed back to alkathla and did some early quests around the city - although sadly Hendak didn't wait around to hear about our triumph in dispatching the slavers
after our struggles helping Korgan raid his tomb we take undead seriously now so Mazzy bought Azuredge and invested a point in its use before we headed back to the Umar Hills to see if we could rescue Patrick - as soon as we walked down the stairs we knew that something very unpleasant was about and the air of menace was highlighted by the battle text window continually flashing 'Pit Fiend: Improved Invisibility . . .
i had a go at taking one of these fellas out but it was pretty tricky - they seem to have unlimited improved invisibilities making spell targetting hard and they pack a pretty solid punch - the liches were ok if they fell to Mazzy's azuredge sharpshooting but not otherwise - in the end i remembered what i was there for and 'protection from evil'ed past the demons and finished the quest
exciting stuff though and another vote of recognition for Tactics from me (with apologies to the 'old' hands
)
