Recent Undermountain Changes

[Teri-sha Illistyn]

Hey Z, been playing on all the levels recently and wanted to mention a couple of things.

Undergroung Passage and Tower: I have to say I laughed through the entire battle with the Cubes down here, I never expected to fight Talking Jello. Any idea when you may expand on the passage and the Tower? I havent noticed much going on in this area and was wondering what and when you had for it.

Level 4: Noticed a few more webs, and occasional small change here and here... but Lester is is like super powerful now. I have had a level 25 chatacter fighting him for about 20 minuets now and I can only hit hm with a natural 20, and I have +40 to hit. What the heck did you do to him lol

Level 7: I like the new layout. I spoke to you about this in game but wanted t post it here also. I like going into a area ive ben a few times and opening a door, then realizing that everything is different. *Hey I just killed Lester... woohoo* I like how you re-did the Skeleton Army also. It seems like there is a evil character on each level with an agenda fo Waterdeep, and only us adventurers are keeping them at bay.

Level 11: CHOC spelled out in gold LOL nuff said. Will those guys that have gone seed hunting for the friendly camp ever return?

Leve 12: The store is a nice addition, has saved my butt a few times now when I run out of potions. I havent been down lately to check on your summoned dragons, but in a unrelated comment, I noticed that Rogues and invisible charaters have near no chance of sneaking around... does everything have True Seeing? I dont mind it... just make me work harder.

I think thats about it for now, Im going to go tuen in Lesters Flesh and continue exploring.

I can respond to those dragons for you! The freaking area goes black with darkness spell, then a BLACK Dragon jumps in on ya! And yes, they work harder than the green ones did. Very nice touch.

Heheh, sorry about Lester, I'll lower his stats a bit, I just kept seeing him get killed with one hit from loads of peeps, and was thinking--man, lester is a puss. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'll fix his stuff, he must have taken some MLB Steriods.

About the true seeing--only a few have it now on level 12. the Mages no longer have it, and I think the clerics don't now too.


---- Larry, glad ya liked the new Summoned dragons!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Crazy eh?


More soon


BTW, I am indeed working on finishing up on the underground tunnel to Blackstaffs, I am just wanting to get level 13 done--it's almost done as well, and should be fun!

You dont need to lower Lester much, it was just kind of a shock when i kept missing him, I checked all my equipment then was watching the combat text. Did you give him a 60+ AC? High 40s would be about right for that level. His minons fallin a single hit, uping them a tad wouldnt hurt.

By the way, Who is Kalesties and why does he/she/it have pets on level 5 and 8?

[Teri-sha Illistyn]

I just felt like commenting, nothing has happened on this board for 2 days.... so here goes.


I made it to level 12 today Z, I do like the black dragons... Those blasted assassians ont he other hand lol

Kalisties is a plug from the old goldbox game Pools of Darkness. I think she was some Drow Demi-God--that's how I am going to spin it anyway in Undermountain

Z,
How complete is Blackstaff's tower? Is the entire thing finished or are you still working on it? Right now I seem to be stuck by a pile of boulders on level 3 or 4.

I'm working on finishing it now--and the next few rooms are EXTREMELY complicated to do--a teleporter maze with over 20² teleporters and over 500 choices. I may tone it down a bit, because the odds of hitting the correct 10 teleporters in a row is low right now. Maybe I'll drop clues..

[Teri-sha Illistyn]

500 choices???? Looks like ill be busting out the alcohol for that little puzzle!!! Please add clues for my livers sake.

Btw, I noticed the monsters inthe secret passage are very very low level... could this be a starter area for level 1 characters??? Hmmmmm

I'm going though all my 1st Edition and 2nd Edition AD&D books to find out for sure. When I find out for sure I'll post the imformation for you or I'll send it to to By E-mail. If you would rather have it sent by e-mail to keep the suspence for everyone else let me know.
I was thinking that there is something about it in Elminster's Ecologies so I'll check there first when I get home tonight. I will find it for you.
