Re: Replay Value
The two spirits are different creature types.
197: Sinister Sentry 364: Sleeping Sentry In the past I tried to decrypt D6Mons.dat, with mixed results, here is the relevant link. http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/...ad.php?t=98497 |

Re: Replay Value
That's interesting because I don't recall that they encountered the Sinister Spirit after wards unless it was on the grounds below and was destroyed before they were able to identify it.
They didn't respond to the initial attack(they were down at the moat) because Wili the Rat was afraid that it was the Sleeping Sentry who attacked them from the wall, and the wall was devoid of all living and undead when they climbed up to throw the switch the following day. Well, they haven't entered the Castle proper yet because they ran off to find Agent G and put down the Werewolf. Gronk also became a Ranger while Jake One-Eye Set out to become a Paladin. Now they finally have their minds set on entering Shurugeon Castle to purge the evil infestation there. Peace, +Dr.Pick

Re: Replay Value
They've cleared most of the ruins and retrieved two of the Evil Elements needed for the mask ritual. They just have to clear the cell block, wade through the sewers, and do the Tower before heading back out to find that Ardibren fellow who helped them in the Great Stair Room.
Once they put that arrogant demon back in his place, they'll find Jathil and go have a chat with the Stouts. Almost forgot- They encountered (another?) Sinister Spirit when they re-entered the pool room at the entrance of the ruins. +Dr.Pick

Re: Replay Value
and it's my joy to do so Wyvern!
To update: The Little People have just delivered Erzebette's Letter after having delivered two letters to the Gezrite, Jathil, from the local Church in Ishad N'hahaha. They are now going to explore the area between Ishad N'ha and the DragonSpire to collect loot and experience before heading into the Stout Mines for Dragon Ore and... Raskalion. Peace, +Dr.Pick

Re: Replay Value
The way guild quests are handled is so silly. Here it is even worse, only one letter is needed to give Jathil the message from the Priest guild.

Re: Replay Value
Yes, they might just as well have been able to do it that way, but I didn't take any chances. I switched characters right before he stopped talking so he wouldn't walk away, and have them chasing after him like that blasted Toad, Mekdawa.
I have the keyboard controls reset more like the industry standard- wasd, so if I try to chase while in conversation, they don't move, instead I get, "wwwwwwwwwwwwww" DOH!! I have to switch out of talk mode to move and then try to switch back before the NPC wanders off again. Terribly annoying. Well, now they are poised to off that Griffon that's in the way before you get to the Stout Mines. +Dr.Pick

Re: Replay Value
The Griffin was much easier then I remember, but there was a horde of other enemies before they entered the mines. Still- no casualties.
It took quite a while to re-figure out the mapping for the mines so I took copious notes in the "Tome" map section for future reference, and the other big problem is weight. The hammers and pick axes are too heavy for what they're worth, so we only kept one pick for use on the ore piles, and left the rest, but the miner bombs are five pounds each so I had Jerome use them as often as I could remember. My Gnome is the only one with the throwing skill. They only had to return to town once toward the end of the dungeon. The great news is that they all leveled so my Priest and Wizard are about ready to become Warlocks! +Dr.Pick

Re: Replay Value
Sounds like you're doing really well!!
A lot of the stuff you find isn't worth carrying to sell. I always found the game a bit biased towards swords and staves - which suits the way I play. Maybe if they had had more time to develope the game they could have evened such things out. Wyv |

Re: Replay Value
You can create your own items or just alter existing ones, turn swords into maces&. I discussed this in the topic
