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.

Finally - thanks for downloading, and enjoy!
|
|
|
|
I want to acknowledge and thank my beta testers Serene and Peter
|
|
Hawkinson whose input significantly improved the overall quality
|
|
of this scenario.

FAQ's -
|
|
|
|
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. |
