They Killed Ferros

[Marcos The Black]

Hail All

When I entered the Rapax castle, a very big fight started, I guess round about 30 Rapax@all in the Enemylist. But they were wide spreaded over the castle (so very long pauses when these dudes walk through the corridors and you can´t see anything happen). After a while i got fight messages like "Ferros wields at courtisane" or "Rapax hit Ferros with 50HP" and so on. But these dude was too far away so I couldn heal him. After the fight i tried searching for this guy but couldn´t find him, so i believe that he is dead.

So my question is, if this is imporatant. I have heard that he can make some nice weopons (like the rapax in arnika) and he has a key.

Don´t think that i need the weopans, think mine are fine enough, but i don´t know what i would get.

My samurai has a "light" sword,a wakizashi+1 and a wristwrocket, my ranger mook has a giant sword (the one with the extended range (so he can slash from the second row like staffs)) and a hunter bow, mage&bishop have a flame staff and a wristrocket, the lord wields the demonsbane and the (demon?) bow (from the monastery),gadgeter has his omnigun mark9 (at the moment) and the rest of his gadgets.

The problem is that i haven´t saved for a long time before so, do i miss something if i continue playing?

Well if Ferro is dead, that's tough luck. He can not only make excellent custom items, but also sells very good armor and weapons in his store. If I were you I'd reload.

[Davros]

So would I - and stay away from Ferro until you are sure you can either reach him, or beat all the red dots. Go become a templar first, then you can deal with him whenever you want to.

I would:

A. Reload

and

B. Save Often!

[MaskedFrog]

The custom weapons are nice but not vital. However he is the only source for some very good armor and ammunition. I had a portal set right to him so I could restock ammunition whenever I needed to.

I highly recommend the reload.

BTW - The same thing happened to me and I had to reload back to Rapax Rift and go through the courtyard again. After this happened I turned on the Autosave feature.

[Marcos The Black]

ehm
if i´m honest i had the last save game weeks ago, i think somewhere in the bayin
i´m normally using the quicksave and quick load, which i hit rather often, so when the fight was over i quicksaved, and then quicksaved several times (i had forgotten, the ferros guy after the fight so i started exploring te castle. the autosaves saves evers 5minutes or so, so this is overwritten too.

Why in the world do the Rapaxs kill Ferro in the first place?

[Warhammer]

Chimera:
Weirdiness of the game combat engine. Ferro is Friendly, the Rapax are Hostile. In combat the party and all Friendlies fight the Hostile.

Same thing happened in Arnika: Higardi Patrol fighting Bank Guards.

[Marcos The Black]

I think this is nearly a bug in general, it´s so often, that a fight is started also i can´t see enemy for the next 3 rounds.

or e.g. at one place where the gargoylething attacks you after opening the door in the rapax level (2levels before the castle, don´t know the name of this map). some dudes stood on an bridge over my path, and the fighting engine started the fight, although neither they not i could attack each other, cause of the higher position you couldn´t aim at them

I definitly was aware of the problem last week when I went into rapax castle. That being said I was looking for ferro immediatly, and of course a fight broke out on my way to visit him. I made a point of running each turn so I could work my way to ferro and protect him. the fight started in the main hallway not close, but when I noticed red dots moving toward his green dot, I knew I had to save him before I was in this same "ferroless" boat. worked out well, a few dulcimers of mending during battle and he was ready to sell me the "good" stuff and make a few custom items.......

Just too bad I finished acension peak before 3 days passed and he had completed my ivory blade
