Since I'm starting to be overburdened with Clerical Oilcloths, Killian's Root Oil and Alfathain's Icers, this is the point where I begin liberally applying them to the party's weapons constantly until I'm not carrying as many of the damn things any longer. A very light oil, it was used by soldiers to temporarily enhance the metallic qualities of their swords and of their armor. I wish the weapon modifiers were a bit more creative, like maybe an accuracy boost or something, too, rather than just always damage boosts.īaK posted: An emerald colored fluid rippled the length of the flute-necked bottle as Owyn upended it, then righted it once more. That odd wand is actually a container of "Killian's Root Oil," which is yet another weapon modifier that adds +50% damage. The main thing in this fight is that this Black Slayer is exceptionally buff and tanks a full-strength Bane, which delays the murdering enough that James gets dogpiled, but with his near-100% Defense rating, the Nighthawks can barely manage to land any hits. Probably some poor guy the Nighthawks dragged in to interrogate or some such. This one's just got a light Tsurani crossbow, a ruby and some restoratives.įor some reason there's a dead rogue in here who's left an empty corpse. Most of the fights in here are pretty forgettable, like this one, easily breezed through, but there's one in here that kicked my ass, and most of the fights also leave you in front of a puzzle chest to check out. The dungeon is roughly shaped like a square, and I'm taking the longest way around to our actual objective to loot as much stuff as possible before we get there. Spiders aside, most of the enemies in here are predictably Nighthawks and Black Slayers. It feels a bit like a missed opportunity that their bite doesn't actually poison when they hit, which would have made it some sort of actual choice whether to target them first in the battles where they're mixed with other enemies, or incentivizing spell and crossbow use to keep them at arm's length. I feel like that should do some odd things to the timeline, but it doesn't.Īs soon as we step in the door we're confronted by four spiders, which are so weak that even James can one-shot them at this point. I think the chess piece is there in chapter 1, too, so if you buy a Virtue Key from a shop somewhere, you could get in here then. "If that isn't an invitation, I've never seen one," James said. Setting it in its missing place, he grinned with satisfaction as the door swung open. James nodded, collecting the knight's piece they had acquired from the well in Kenting Rush. "If it doesn't occur to you you're as thick as a stump."


"Looks like someone was getting ready to play a match, but they were missing a.piece." BaK posted: James stood to take a closer look at the mysterious hole, discovering there a chessboard.
