Problem at S Castel

[Herzbub]

Ok i just finished the Serpent Tempel and wandert to the S castel (sorry i cant renember the name) after killing some undead inside the castel the inventory of the party wass full and i thought no problem go back to city and sell the stuff! But when i wa on my way to the city something attackt me and every member of my party gets 4 to 10 points of damage every sec. I saw no enemy so i started to run towards the city but after a few steps my whole party was dead!
So i was wondering what the hell attackt me out there, so i looked in this forum and read about a dragon in the area around the castel! So i started another run for the city and i was again attack o i lookt in the sky but i dident see anything!!!!

So now i am Stucked inside the castel

Does somebody know what to do??

The dragon....Erathsmedor...ususally stays in the large field NE of Shurugeon castle, just South of the Dragon spire.

It could have been Swamp Muck...They attack, using a gas cloud....But....it Sounds like you just met the Amazonian Mantraps...aka the salads.
You might want to climb the wall of the castle and have a look around! You can easily get up on top....if you climb the broken wall...right where you came in. If they are nearby you'll see them. You could run past them...but...They have a seek and destroy AI....They Will...Hunt you...Down!!!!!

There are a few tips in the Best tips, thread....on pages 1 and 6. AFAIK... Fire spells and fire bombs, work the best....especially if you can target them from the castle wall. I always did it the hard way. I beat them to death and died Alot trying..

Yes that definitely sounds like the mantraps. If you use the search function next to the forum logo and write "mantrap" you will find I believe an overwhelming number of posts dealing with the matter.

beware though, if u get even an inch close to them, they will, as u know, breath an unblockable gas at u. but i haf nv heard an abnormal status that will suck ur hp every few steps! [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]
as long as u haf at least 2 ppl who cna cast lotsa sun spells, it's ok liaoz. and btw, ur S Castle is probably the Skull Castle right? but isnt that a bit far from serpent temple?

I took S Castle as Shurugeon Castle... and I forgot to add, bsftcs, that you can search for "salads" as well...

If you run around enough, you may be able to get them separated. Most parties can handle one of them at a time; the issue is when you're beating up on one, and his brother lets loose a load of swamp gas at you [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

Yes i am at Shurugeon Castle and it was some Amazonian Mantraps i think 6 of them! I climbt the castel wall as told and waited until sunrise about 1 hour in realtime. Then i saw them, hidding in the woods waiting for me to come out. But this time they taste some magma bomb from my wizzy!

The way to the city was free and my party has made a level :=)

Glad you managed to take out the "salads", Herzbub!!

Usually everyone runs into them on the way to Shurugeon Castle, not on the way back so that was an interesting variation! You're lucky you didn't manage to make it back to Ishad N'Ha with them following. It is far more difficult to kill them when they are just outside the town!

Yep.... first time I met the salads, I led them back to the gates of Ishad N'ha, where I died many a long and painful death...

Thank Kerah for the reverse time spell

whoops, so it was shurugeon castle eh, my mistake.....
haha, i did the same regretful thing by leading the salads back to the gates too! boy did i haf a hard time trying to get past them, in the end i juz ran right by them while trying to tolerate those irritating breaths.... [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]
