Elminister? - Page 2

Sixofspades: i killed Gorion once. I took my best fighter, made a MP party with 6 of him

, used oil of speed, potion of cloud giant strenght and draw upon holy might (that makes a funny 25 strenght) and attacked with them 6 at the time. I had to try some times before doing it but i finally managed to kill him before he casted that annoying lightning. I only got 3000 xp, and anyway it doesnt make sense to kill him as you cant go out from candlekeep if you do it.

- None of you has fought Shandalar in TotSC ? I usually fight him, its a tough battle and hes worth 26000 xp or so (the highest in the whole game), plus a very nice item.

Hey, cool. What level were your 6 best Fighters, Ertai? I pretty much got the got the impression Gorion was invincible because of a particularly annoying cheat he does: I noticed that, when you attack him, he throws a lightning bolt at your main character. Since my main guy was Level 1 when I tried it, that of course means instant death. So I sent my main guy all the way around to the other side of Candlekeep, and had the other 5 attack. The lightning bolt still killed my main guy. Now don't you wish YOU could cast spells like that?

Xanthul · 10-08-2001, 04:02 PM

They were a character that had beated the game, so they were maxed out in xp.
About the spell, it isnt a normal lightning bolt, look what i tried:
1.- Placed my main character in the Inn.
2.- Attacked Gorion with the other 5
3.- Gorion casted what was supposed to be a lightning bolt
4.- My main character died

I dont think a normal lightning bolt can travel through the town, go through the walls, and kill a guy that probably had a HUGE LOT of life

Exactly. "Plot-related" attacks seem to be able to do that, another exapmle being when you try to resist arrest in Chapter 6. I told the Gatewarden to blow it out his arse, and down comes a Flamestrike onto my main guy (who's not even on the same floor) and does him a helluva lotta damage. He lived.....through the first one.

Also, Lightning Bolts in general seem to be able to do that; they ALWAYS find you. I had a guy with the Boots of Speed walking around underneath Candlekeep. He stepped on a trap, I immediately got him the hell out of there, but he still got nailed. Annoying....

One of these days I've gotta try attacking Gorion with Potions of Absorbtion, just to see.

Hey! Why are you stabbing me???

What about Leomund, Lord Brass? Haven't you ever heard of Leomund's Lamentable Belabourment?

That's gotta be one of my FAVORITE spells, and I don't even play D&D!

Lord Brass · 10-08-2001, 06:36 PM

I love you for it guys, but you're all barmy!
Attack Gorion?
Attack Elminster, Little Dragon? Just for fun?
Barmy! The lot of ya. He's got a pointy hat, has old Elminster. They don't make them with pointy hats anymore. People won't talk to them if they wear pointy hats. They know you're one mean bada**. Oh, and that you've probably got almost as mean a set of bad guys after you. Who won't like you killing their favourite target. That's their job.

As for 'Leomund's Lamentable Belabourment', Six', it must be one of those spells that came on the scene long after my time. I remember that Aganazzer's Scorcher was released in the hardback Forgotten Realms companion for 2AD&D. I wondered then if it would ever catch on (see, I made a pun - fire - catch on...no?). Unfortunately, AD&D went through a "get it out there now" phase, and I'm afraid that as much as I would have liked, the old bank balance prevented too much participation. Still, it was nice to see the 25th Anniversary re-releases. I remember some of them when they came out the first time!

BTW What does it do Six'?

Leomund's Lamentable Belaborment
Type: Enchantment/Charm
Duration: 10 rounds
Area of Effect: Two or more creatures
Casting time: Beats me
Saving Throws: I dunno

This spell must be cast on two or more intelligent creatures who share a common language. Upon the successful completion of this spell, those creatures can do nothing for 10 rounds, except sit down and discuss matters of mutual interest.

Funniest damn spell I've read in a long time

No matter what you do, if Gorion is able to cast that Lightning Bolt, you're dead. I edited a character using Gatekeeper and gave him 100% magic resistance and the Lightning Bolt STILL nailed him.

Ertai, you killed Shandalar?!?!?! That's amazing! How'd you do it?
