This scenario is intended for experienced
|
|
BoE players. It is not for people who are still
|
|
learning how to play BoE.
|
|
|
|
Anyway...
|
|
|
|
Thank you for downloading "The Final Spire"! Before I
|
|
get to the plot, there's something you should know:
|
|
|
|
This scenario is a sequel to a scenario that does not
|
|
exist. That doesn't make sense, you say? Well, I was
|
|
making the scenario that came before it, called "Spires
|
|
of Energy." I was very close to completing it when it
|
|
crashed and the .exs file was destroyed. I was so
|
|
immersed in the story at that point that I wanted to
|
|
finish it, so here you are. This comes after the planned
|
|
end of SoE.
|
|
|
|
THE PLOT:
|
|
The Sorcerer Order (or Sorcerers):
|
|
|
|
They are the government of Utmir. They are an organized
|
|
dictatorship, with leaders and rankings. However, any
|
|
member of this organization is superior to a non-member.
|
|
They are made up of almost all the spellcasters and some
|
|
select bladesmen. With this power, they rule the land
|
|
with absolute tyranny....
|
|
|
|
...and now you're lost, confused, and feeling hopeless.
|
|
While resting, you have flashbacks as to what led up to
|
|
the confusion.
|
|
|
|
This is the story of Ulrike.
|

|
|
TECHNICAL NOTES: You will get some special spells
|
|
later in the scenario, so some of these notes are
|
|
related on how to use them.
|
|
|
|
1. RUBIES, EMERALDS, SAPPHIRES, DIAMONDS, and CRYSTALS
|
|
are needed to use the special spells. If a monster drops
|
|
one of these, PICK IT UP. There's little else monsters
|
|
will drop in this scenario.
|
|
|
|
2. The spells are wild magic, you can't use them just
|
|
anywhere.
|
|
|
|
3. When casting a special spell, be ABSOLUTELY SURE
|
|
you can cast it. You can still lose reagents even
|
|
if the spell is not cast!
|
|
|
|
4. Gold is not that valuable in this scenario - there
|
|
are only two shopping towns in the whole scenario, and
|
|
they come quite early in the game.
|
|
|
|
5. This scenario is a linear run-through, like An Apology
|
|
or Echoes: Assault.
|
|
|
|
6. There are additional spells you can learn in this
|
|
scenario, but there aren't that many.
|
|
|
|
7. Once you're in the castle, search everywhere! There's
|
|
important clues on bookshelves!
|
|
|
|
8. Talk to EVERYONE you meet, especially in the beginning.
|
|
Most people have important clues! Unique terrain spots
|
|
(to the rest of the terrain) can also give a clue.
|
|
|
|
9. Chests have to be unlocked before they can be opened. Unlock
|
|
them the same way you would a door.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: There is a bug in this scenario. After the animation
|
|
scene (name removed to prevent spoilers), six PC's will
|
|
be alive. You will just have to delete the other five.
|
|
There isn't anything I can do about it.

There is a mini Hall of Fame. The first five people

|

|
|
easter egg town. I will not tell you what cameo books
|
|
you're looking for, but I'll give you a hint: it's
|
|
possible to find out inside the scenario.
