Bodhi's true nature proof (spoiler!)

TaSSaDaR · 09-26-2002, 05:51 AM

I finally found an exact clue of Bodhi's true nature in ch2. I was walking past the temple of Helm in the Temple District at night, when I saw a Shadow Thief staying there. What an odd sight to behold! Thieves are not supposed to be welcome there. So I started a conversation with him, and he read me a poem about death in the night, a choice between guilds, about their war. It contained some direct hints, which told me that Bodhi is a vampire. The thief said something about blood and throat, then death and undead creatures, then something about thin teeth biting through the heart (nearly), then finally he mentioned stakes as a solution. So, the proof is at last found! PC can exactly learn Bodhi's true nature in ch2.

I played elven female sorcerer, it may have something to do with triggering the spawning of that thief.

The thief has never failed to spawn for me. No matter what my party was.

I learned that the other guild were vampires by watching all those shadow thieves getting slain by them. It's really too obvious.

The fights were not enough to convience somebody here. We had a discussion some days ago, and from then I was looking for a proof. The fact that they drain levels is not enough for me.

The fact that they turn into bats and gaseous clouds are enough for me.

TaSSaDaR · 09-26-2002, 06:35 AM

I never noticed bats, maybe due to the darkness. And I never killed a vampire on the streets (when I get high enough level, I go and assaul them directly), so never I encountered a vampiric mist. OK, another proof!

Assuming FR has the same kinds of ghost stories we do, the gaseous form, level drain, and ability to become a bat right before your eyes would all lead my PC, who has a decent INT score (note, old AD&D rule of thumb is INT X 10 = IQ) to discern that it wasn't just some nasty thief. But, the situation is obvious because anytime I roll my cursor over them it says "Vampire."

Duh!

My PC might still joint them you know.

I kinda guessed when I saw Bodhi's pale skin and the blood running down her chin.

Proof? What proof! I said so, then it is so!

DJG · 09-27-2002, 08:28 AM

I don't actually care about Bodhi's nature!

I side with her over the Shadow Theives everytime if I can. It depends on whether Keldorn (The Self-Righteous Paladin who won't side with her) is on my side or not.

what is more beneficial? siding with Bohdi, or siding with the shadow thieves, I've sidedwith the thieves everytime, but I've always been a thief, so the rewards on my part were obvious, what if i side with her?
