This scenario is designed for *BEGINNER LEVEL PARTIES ONLY*
|
|
||||||
Please do not play the scenario with any other type.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The scenario difficulty rating of "MEDIUM" is only done
|
|
||||||
for reasons of monster HP doubling. I consider this scenario
|
|
||||||
to be VERY difficult, and several sections are likely to
|
|
||||||
require multiple playthroughs to achieve success. I especially
|
|
||||||
recommend that when the scenario suggests moving quickly
|
|
||||||
that you follow the scenario's advice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before playing the scenario, please ensure the custom
|
|
||||||
graphics file is working properly, as custom graphics
|
|
||||||
are of VITAL importance to this scenario. PC users
|
|
||||||
will need a BMP file entitled apologia, MAC users
|
|
||||||
a MEG file. If the graphics included in the zip file
|
|
||||||
cannot be read, you can find a GIF file of apologia at:
|
|
||||||
http://members.dencity.com/Alcritas/apgif.gif

|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you see two soldiers directly to your southwest and
|
|
||||||
southeast upon beginning the scenario, the graphics file
|
|
||||||
is working properly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I'd like to thank the individuals who helped make "An Apology"
|
|
||||||
possible - my beta testers Simmic, Measle, and Peter Hawkinson,
|
|
||||||
and those graphical artists who graciously allowed me to
|
|
||||||
borrow their works - Tim Farland, Aceron, Zaloopa, Draxis, Gil-Glorion,

and especially Relhan. A list of which graphics each of them did
|
|
||||||
can be found below. All other graphics are either edits or originals
|
|
||||||
by yours truly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally, I'd like to thank Seth Benardete, whose translation
|
|
||||||
of The Theatetus I adapated for much of the dialogue between
|
|
||||||
Euclides and Terpsion, as well as splatterings here and there
|
|

throughout the rest of the scenario.
|
|
||||||
|
|

Tim Farland created the Banshee, Mephisto, and the Misc. Golem
|

Draxis created the Red Rune

If you are on a MAC, you will need to create a MEG file

to play the scenario. Inquiries/information can be made/found at

the above URLs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This scenario is designed for high to very high level parties.
|
|
||||||
If you do not have such a party, take a beginner level party
|
|
||||||
into the scenario - there is a training dungeon at the beginning.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This scenario is a continuation of many of my previous works.
|
|
||||||
While not necessary to play this scenario, it is strongly suggested
|
|
||||||
that you play my prior works, especially "Redemption", "An Apology",
|
|
||||||
and "Lamentations" before beginning "Falling Stars". The party
|
|
||||||
you play is presumed to have completed "Lamentations".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
PLEASE, PLEASE Ensure that the Graphics are working properly
|
|
||||||
before playing far into the scenario. If you see a portal
|
|
||||||
directly to your south upon beginning the scenario, the graphics
|
|
||||||
are working. If not, please contact me before going further.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are a couple of known BOE bugs which may occur during
|
|
||||||
this scenario, to which there are no workarounds.
|
|
||||||
1- Empties, which look like Dwarves, may appear randomly. No one
|
|
||||||
knows for sure why the BOE editor places them in scenarios, but if
|
|
||||||
you see one, don't worry too much.
|
|
||||||
2- Scry Monster may produce the wrong graphic in the Scry Monster
|
|
||||||
table. This is due to BOE graphical limitations. All the monster
|
|
||||||
information, however, will be accurate.
|
|
||||||

Thanks for downloading! This is a quick,
|
|
||||||
very short scenario, designed to give players
|
|
||||||
a unique and difficult tactical challenge.
|
|
||||||
Apart from this text file, you should have
|
|
||||||
found two other files in the zip archive -
|
|
||||||
theseus.exs - the scenario, which you should
|
|
||||||
place in your Bladscen folder, and theseus.sav -
|
|
||||||
a saved game file, which you should place in
|
|
||||||
the main Bladexil folder. In order to enjoy this
|
|
||||||
scenario, you should ONLY play via the saved
|
|
||||||
game file, playing with a normal party, even
|
|
||||||
a beginner party, will rob the scenario of
|
|
||||||
its challenge and enjoyment.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This scenario is designed as a complement to
|
|
||||||
another one of my scenarios, "Of Good And Evil"
|
|
||||||
- and those who have played that scenario will
|
|
||||||
quickly realize the terrain and the situation.
|
|
||||||
(The party played here is assumed to be very
|
|
||||||
distinct from any party that has adventured in
|
|
||||||
"Of Good And Evil".)
|
|
||||||
|
|

IMPORTANT! - Do not save over the file theseus.sav.

|

"Lamentations" is designed to be played with a high level (25-30)
|

party. No party maker is included, so it's up to you to supply a

party of the appropriate level. In a pinch, use the training dungeon

in "Redemption".

FAQs-
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: Is this the sequel to "Redemption"?
|
|
||||||
A: Yes and no. All my scenarios (save "Kalloskagathos") are about the
|
|
||||||
same general story. This is part of that story, as was Redemption,
|
|
||||||
but they are not sequels to each other. The party you use here
|
|
||||||
is presumed to be a different party than the ones that participated
|
|
||||||
in Redemption, or for that matter any of my scenarios.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: I'm on a MAC, and no MEG file is provided. What do I do?
|
|
||||||
A: You're going to have to create a MEG file yourself, as any
|
|
||||||
MEG file that touches a PC gets corrupted. You should have found
|
|
||||||
a GIF file included. Instructions for turning that into a MEG file
|
|
||||||
can be found at:
|
|
||||||
http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/boelyceum/odd/megbmp.html
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: I'm stuck. I've just returned from the Jayhawk fort, and need to get
|
|
||||||
into Cornell's Keep. What do I do?
|
|
||||||
A: Talk to McSorely again. He'll calm down after some moves, and
|
|
||||||
provide you with more information.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: Alright, I'm in Cornell's Keep, and the graphics seem to be really
|
|
||||||
screwed up!
|
|
||||||
A: Assuming you're in the lowest level (the one that's totally dark),
|
|
||||||
that's intentional. The result on a PC looks fairly cool. On a MAC
|
|
||||||
it's not as nifty, however. Oh well.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: Hmm... I think I've completed the scenario, but things seem to have
|
|
||||||
ended abruptly. Did I do something wrong?
|
|
||||||
A: Nope. The scenario was intended merely as setup, and it purposley
|
|
||||||
leaves a lot of things unresolved.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: Help! I used Hegla's Brew, and now I'm stuck! How do I get out of this mess?
|
|
||||||
A: You should have been more careful, sorry. Load an older saved game file, or use "The Way Out", and start over.

Masel, Peter Hawkinson, Serene, Andrew Barton,
|
|
||||||
and Kate for their work beta testing the scenario.
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
I'd also like to thank DRK DRAXIS (gravestone)
|
|
||||||
and Tim Farland (Phoenix) for allowing me to
|
|
||||||
use their graphics.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Several notes :
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. The scenario at several locations utilizes
|
|
||||||
traditional inventory (eg non-special) items
|
|
||||||
which are required to advance portions of
|
|
||||||
the plot. There is NEVER a situation in
|
|
||||||
which both -
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A) An inventory item is required to complete the scenario
|
|
||||||
AND
|
|
||||||
B) That inventory item cannot be acquired many times
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
are both true. However there are circumstances where
|
|
||||||
normal inventory items ARE required to complete very
|
|
||||||
useful, but not vital, portions of the scenario. In
|
|
||||||
some of these circumstances, you will only be given
|
|
||||||
the particular item once. Therefore, I STRONGLY
|
|
||||||
recommend that while playing, you make every effort
|
|
||||||
to keep at least one or two inventory slots open at
|
|
||||||
all times. On a similiar note, if you find a
|
|
||||||
peculiar item, you might consider hanging onto it,
|
|
||||||
or at least storing it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All items that are required to win the scenario,
|
|
||||||
and that cannot be acquired multiple times, will appear as
|
|
||||||
special items.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. If, for whatever reason, you leave the scenario,
|
|
||||||
but then come back in with many of the items you
|
|
||||||
acquired in this scenario, the scenario won't
|
|
||||||
recongnize them. For example, the rope you bought
|
|
||||||
can still be sold for 25 gold, but the scenario won't
|
|
||||||
recognize it as rope in the circumstances when you need
|
|
||||||
rope. You'll have to buy a new thing of rope.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. The use of the "Word of Recall" spell is not
|
|
||||||
recommended. Use of Charm spells in certain areas
|
|
||||||
might be problematic. Some encounters do not end
|
|
||||||
until all enemy units have been killed, the game
|
|
||||||
will not give you credit for charming these units.
|
|
||||||
You may have to attack friendly, charmed units in
|
|
||||||
some circumstances to advance.

FAQ's -
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: What level party should I use?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A: High (18-25), or if you're up for a challenge,
|
|
||||||
try a Medium (9-18) level party. But better yet, take
|
|
||||||
a beginner party in, and mention "Train" to
|
|
||||||
the fort commander of the base you start off in. He'll
|
|
||||||
direct you to a small dungeon, which will rapidly advance
|
|
||||||
you to the level and experience best suited for this
|
|
||||||
scenario.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: But it says Very High on the difficulty scale!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A: That's because :
|
|
||||||
1. I consider it to be a Very Difficult scenario for
|
|
||||||
reasons beyond simple monster toughness
|
|
||||||
&
|
|
||||||
2. I didn't want any monsters doubling hit points
|
|
||||||
against any borderline medium/high parties. (Some
|
|
||||||
of them are quite tough enough as it is)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: But I keep dying against X Monster with my
|
|
||||||
high level party!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A: Perhaps there's a better way to combat X
|
|
||||||
monster. All Monster's are killable in traditional
|
|
||||||
manners, but many are much weaker/tougher depending
|
|
||||||
on extraneous actions you might perform. So Bob
|
|
||||||
The Talking Spider might be super tough but killable
|
|
||||||
unless you get the bug spray on a side mission, which
|
|
||||||
makes him only mediocre and very killable.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The scenario has been and can be won using
|
|
||||||
a begginer party put through the training dungeon.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q: Is there a walkthrough?

On A Ship To Algiers
|
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A few quick things -
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First - the scenario is designed for a beginner
|
|
||||||
level party, and I recommend against using the
|
|
||||||
traditional, cookie-cutter approach many players
|
|
||||||
(including myself) often use. The scenario is
|
|
||||||
designed to force the player to play a party
|
|
||||||
distinct from the traditional approaches.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Second - the "R" rating. If there had been a PG-13
|
|
||||||
option within the game, I gladly would have taken it.
|
|
||||||
As it was, given some of the themes in the scenario,
|
|
||||||
I decided to be better safe than sorry, hence the "R"
|
|
||||||
rating.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Third - there is no walkthrough, but I did include
|
|
||||||
some hints below. Don't look if you want to avoid spoilers.
|
|
||||||
Also, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions, comments,
|
|
||||||
complaints, or anything else you might have.

|
|
||||||
These cover the most common questions asked of me,
|
|
||||||
but is in no way an exhaustive list. Feel free to
|
|
||||||
email me with any other questions, or with these
|
|
||||||
if the explanations aren't clear.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q - Who is this Vayla person anyway? And when do I get to
|
|
||||||
meet her?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A - Vayla is one of the Gods of this world. She makes no
|
|
||||||
appearance other than through her disciple, Xenophon.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q - How and when do I get my skills back?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A - You don't, at least not without using the player
|
|
||||||
character editor. Throughout the scenario, various
|
|
||||||
people will train you in various ways, giving you
|
|
||||||
some skills. However, you never regain the skills
|
|
||||||
you initially lose.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q - I keep getting stuck in this Foreboding Tower! How
|
|
||||||
do I get the Staff of Orianna back?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A - To bypass the section with all the teleporters, read
|
|
||||||
the sign. Each word contains only one cardinal direction
|
|
||||||
letter (N,S,E,W), follow them in order, starting from
|
|
||||||
the square directly west of the sign.
|
|
||||||
Once you get to the Faeries, don't listen to Willy! He's
|
|
||||||
trying to trick you! Instead, ask Nicky about the Staff,
|
|
||||||
she'll tell you where to really find it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q - I'm stuck! Both towns have been destroyed, and the
|
|
||||||
entire island is dead! What do I do?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A - Make sure you've done the following three things -
|
|
||||||
1. Witnessed Meletus Get Killed
|
|
||||||
2. Visited the shrine, and examined Elaine's body
|
|
||||||
3. Searched the Slime Cave, and found a body that
|
|
||||||
gets up after you look at it. It's in the north
|
|
||||||
central area.
|
|
||||||
Once you've done all three things, return to Pireaus,
|
|
||||||
and enter the town hall. Xenophon will be there,
|
|
||||||
and he can help you proceed with the quest.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alternately, once you've beaten the Goblins, you can
|
|
||||||
search the area around the Inn in Shenta. Under a pile
|
|
||||||
of rocks, you'll find a set of stairs. Climb down
|
|
||||||
them to proceed, but be warned! The scenario becomes
|
|
||||||
much tougher without Xenophon's help.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q - I've killed Anytus, but the Quickfire gets
|
|
||||||
me! How do I escape the cave?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A - There are two ways. First, if you've gotten
|
|
||||||
Xenophon's help, he'll be in the room just north
|
|
||||||
of where Anytus was, but only for a short while.
|
|
||||||
Go into that room, talk to him, and he'll create
|
|
||||||
a portal for you to escape the island.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
OR
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There's a secret passage in the southeast
|
|
||||||
corner of the cave. It's blocked by a couple
|
|
||||||
of magic barriers, so you'll need to get
|
|
||||||
the piercing crystals in the room north
|
|
||||||
of where Anytus was.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q - Okay, I've escaped the cave, Anytus is
|
|
||||||
dead, but now what?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A - Go to the Western Shore. There's a boat
|
|
||||||
there, that'll take you off the island.

Finshing should prove relatively easy. Winning should be very

Hall of Fame consists of those players who were the first to go above

and beyond the most basic aspects of this scenario, and truly explore
|

the world. There are four wings of the Hall of Fame. The first wing

will contain the first ten players to win the scenario. To enter this
|
|

wing, email me with the results that occurred when you won, and how you

got there. The second wing consists of the first five players to
|
|
||||||
correctly identify the seven characters who appear in both "Of Good And
|
|
||||||
Evil" and "Redemption". To enter this wing, email me with their names,
|
|

and where you found them. The third wing consists of the first five
|
|
||||||
players to recover the Amulet of Doran. To enter this wing, email me

telling me how and where you recovered the amulet. The final wing
|
|

consists of the first player the enter all three other wings.

The Staff Of Kayolith

This is my fourth scenario, although more
|
|
||||||
accurately it could be called my first, as
|
|
||||||
99% of the work on it was done before "On
|
|
||||||
A Ship To Algiers" was even begun, as part
|
|
||||||
of a much larger scenario, that will never
|
|
||||||
be completed. This scenario is nothing but
|
|
||||||
one REAL TOUGH dungeon. If you're looking for
|
|
||||||
a detailed plot, look elsewhere. But if you're
|
|
||||||
looking for a tough tactical challenge, you have
|
|
||||||
found it. I would be VERY impressed if any party
|
|
||||||
managed to recover the staff in their first attempt,
|
|

without using the Player Character editor (or wearing

STRONGLY recommend playing "Redemption", "An Apology", "Lamentations",

"Falling Stars", and "Signs and Portents" (in that order) prior to

this game. Failure to do so will leave you scratching your head in

I've had a lot of good beta-testers, but my testing team on this

scenario was nothing short of phenomenal. To whatever extent this

scenario works, it works because of their hard work and excellent

suggestions. Stareye, The Creator (Barcoorah), and Terror's Martyr
|
|

deserve most of whatever credit this scenario receives.
|

I'd also like to thank Stareye and The Creator for their innovations,
