Oh freddled gruntbuggly

Thy micturations are to me - OK, that is enough Vogon poetry - on to my question :

Am I screwed?

I am in the Ice temple - I ran into a dude who talked to me, then some Abishi attacked, then he attacked - of course I was victorious.

I found a story telling dude amongst some Auerelite priests - they pleaded for their lives but my heart was hardened by my tough struggles with thier bretheren, so pity had I none. The storyteller won't talk to me.

There is a dias that I am supposed to destroy, but I can't attack it, and the ion cannon won't harm it, and I get lightning bolted every time I go near it. I am hearing that I can't finish things here until that dias is toasted floorboards.

Hence my question. Please answer me soon, otherwise I will be compelled to torture you with more poetry

Kill the storyteller (Djinni)you will get a scimitar +2.

To get to the altar.
Go to the staircase on the first level east side. There is a painting. Click on the painting. There will be a group of phrases that you can choose from. Each phrase will change the location the staircase leads.

Choose "Lysan". Go down the stairs. You will come out in the altar room. "Embrace the shadow". Step on the shadow quickly. You will take a small amount of electrical damage. The hidden door to the west will open. Go to the Lightning Cannon. Make sure the mirror in the hallway will direct the bolt to the left. Fire the cannon. The Bolt will open the door where the "Shadow" is. Go speak to the altar. Get the altar to surrender or invoke the name of "ABJaerzi something". A Whirlwind will appear and your character will take some damage. You cannot fight it. Let it finish and you have completed that portion of the Temple. Be Carefull when the whirlwind stops you will be attacked by barbians, frostbites, adn polar bears.

Thanks - I had alreadt done all the first bit - when I go to the dias I get two options - are you here to quench my thirst - no gets a once off magical attack, asking "your thirst?" gives me two options, one of which is a magical attack, the other gives me one more speech option which is to say goodbye, which leads to the inevitable magic attack. In all cases, teh dias still exists - I can't threaten it to make it change form to something I can attack.

Dav,

SPOILER

You don't actually get to kill that critter....anticlimactic, huh? [img]smile.gif[/img] But go to the others in the back room on first level and tell them you've freed them, you get xp for it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

No no no - nearky but no [img]smile.gif[/img] Cloudlet - my first post says it all - I was VICTORIOUS - there are no dudes on the first level except Nathaniel. What can I do with this dias - or should I leave it as it is?

Callum Kerr · 11-15-2002, 09:52 AM

Just leave it be

Cloudbringer · 11-15-2002, 11:34 AM

Yup, you're done, if you finished all that and the demoncritters left! Talk to Nathaniel again if you haven't already given him his bag of holding! Then mozy on out!

If you have a character with high intelligence, have that person talk to the head abishai, if any are still left. A smart person will know the name of the elemental in the altar.

The Djinn could have told you that, too.

As a last restort, go see Zack Boosenberry, as I believe he's there in case players screw up by being too homicidal.

I don't think the ice temple is considered finished until the elemental is banished from the altar.

I have both those problems - no Djinni and no Abishi. Odd, because I am usually a "do the right thing" kind of gamer - not the kill em all let god sort it out type. Oh the vagries of a stray fireball spell.

This Zack guy rings a bell - where's he at again?

Davros · 11-15-2002, 05:04 PM

Nope - found Zack - struck out there as well - looks like I am dropping back from level 10 and a half to level 8 with a dead mage - oh joy - battle squares again
