Update -- Sandy south beaches ...

[Black Knight]

Okay, done with the place, got out and explored the far west part of the map, went back to town. Here is the plan: I change up my pc's classes and get inventories cleared out. Then I get my weapon's ready. Going to kill the Boss Vamp in the place, then go kill the Irish dude, come back get my exp and then do some deep sea diving, then go for my end run.... only prob is I'm not sure where the finale takes place. The only place I can imagine is through the Hydra? Only so much of the map yet to do.

Good tip is if you are going to change npc levels and you are not close to the next level on the former thing, change before you get any of your quest points, especially in the last town. I leveled up 4 times just in town!

Hyrda, smidra. Piece of cake. After I ran out of throwing big spells at her, I just ran up and alternated healing myself and killing it. Nice Exp, btw. Cleared off the map to Cet's tomb, but I think I have to figure out something with the **cough** underwater part **cough** Is there a way to get more than one Underwater mask, or do I just suck it up and swim fast? Question #35. Thanks

Well, every 3 shells you bring back gets you 3 random pieces of the 2 underwater equipment( 3 masks, 2 masks + one tank.......3 tanks). Turn spawn to often and swin around, plus all those crabs are nice exp!

HINT: Do you have breath of air spell? This works wonders too, plus there are plenty of spots where there is air trapped.

Also...you need not bring everyone down to Collasium. The only thing you need in there are the Tablet Pieces (and the Tome of Water for the Zenmaster wannabes). However, there are a LOT of goodies in there and if you want them, you'll need the added inventory space of additional characters.

You mean you can only get underwater breathing equipement for three people? That seems a bit odd. And just to open that can of worms, should I mention something about swimming underwater with plate mail on being darn near impossible?

BK

[realbinky]

No, you can get stuff for all, its just done in 3's. Bring back 2 shells, the guy won't make anything. Bring back 3, and he will make 3 pieces, of one or the other of masks and tanks or some combo. Bring in another 3, and he will make 3 more pieces. Keep going until you have parts for all. Minimum, you need 12 shells, if he does right by you and doesn't make 12 tanks and no masks ;]

And, did you notice its impossible to use magic, to gain a sword made of light and darkness, then meet an angel that tells you how to raise a dead guy from ashes that tells you how to USE the magic sword on an immortal guy, after powering it up in magic fire? And you're nitpicking about lizzords, oomphaz, ratlings, pixies, elves, halflings, or whiskas that shouldn't be able to swim in plate? ;] ;] ;] ;] :]

Well, speaking strictly from a PnP perspective, yes... I can believe magic and other races...just not swimming with heavy plate mail on ...

Agreed fully! That's one reason in my storyline, I have them strip down to to their bare essentials while swimming. Not really along the lines of what the game allows, but more appropriate, especially in a story form.

P.S. In reality, you wouldn't also be able to swim umpteen miles down a river, or across an ocean, without batting an eye or losing an ounce of stamina.
