I'm afraid that I got the Whitebone armour because it was better than the armour I had before (Comfort) I'm not sure that one extra AC point will make loads of difference on the first Chapter, but I went for it anyway.
Does Folderol have smiths? And can you tell DrSpike the really good stuff they might make for you?

The smith is something I was working on until my forced "Folderol Holiday" started

How's this - my life became even worse as 'poly was added today to the blocked sites list at work. No 'poly at work, no NWN at home, no Mrs Jamski, no cat

You see why its worth keeping the rare components untill the second smith, right? The items are rather tastier, yes?

North of Gnoma is the Gnoma docks, under which is the Waterwyrm lair and from which docks you can take a boat to Crank's Fortress Island (nightmare place with nice loot) East from the Thirst... wait and see

I might check out the black oak; is it the water in the leaf thing you use on it to open the portal?

Reidmar started exploring the ant caves solo at level 15 or thereabouts. If you aren't bored of them already, go there.

Actually, have you done the Cave of Backwoods Freaks and Twizzler Heights in Neuergard yet? Aside from the rock-hurlers (and they stop throwing rocks if you're in melee range), I can't think of anything that would pose a significant threat in the CoBF. The Twizzler Heights might be another story, especially at the top. But I won't spoil it for you if you don't know.

There are plenty of places I haven't cleared out yet, actually. Crank's Island, the bull caves, Southrun outside of Khazar (and yet I have two full canteens, go figure), Wrecker's Point (damn nymphs and my crap Will save), through the black oak, bottom of the Gnoma crypt, Dragon Mound... I visited Moradinheld once, and it was unoccupied. Dunno if there are monsters there now. Tim's I've done as part of a group, ant hive I've done Ao-knows-how-many times, planes I've done a few times (I've had few difficulties with the fire and air planes solo, actually), Waterwyrm cave I've done lots, Twizzler Heights I've done a lot, and I've spent significant time in the Bog. Iskander hasn't done very much: some clears of Twizzler Pass, Caldefort and the library, to Gnoma and back, the first level of the crypts a few times, CREEP once.

Yes. There are other trees on which it creates portals, as well; you probably know this already.

quote: Vlad, name the day, if you can do GMT evenings.

Fridays and Saturdays easily. All other days depend on workload. (I have 9AM classes every day, which means that I pretty much have to be asleep at 2 AM local time, 8 PM GMT. I can push it to 3 AM local, 9 PM GMT on Monday and Wednesday nights.)

What times did you mean by evening times, actually?

Well, I made my first foray into Foderol yesterday. Overall, I'm quite impressed. The first thing I did was jump into that portal in the Gypsy Inn. Ended up lost in the middle of Gobwood. Fortunately, my hapless rogue can use her stealth to slip by most trouble (except those damn Gnolls). The only problem I had was that I couldn't find people who roleplay. I joined with one group of nice people who helped me level up a bit and taught me the ropes, but we didn't really roleplay. We were just going around killing stuff to level up.

Was one of them DrSpike by any chance?

My course tutor is ill, so I got to leave school early last night. The duchess was doing her flute practice and then preparation for her teaching so that left me with only more NWN. .
I've now finished all of the side-quests in the city core - I did the zoo, the art restoration (it's restoration, not theft ) and got the last of the relics for Oleff, and now only have to do the Blacklake section of the main quest. Yay! Still doing Jamski's build, I get to be a RDD next level. I put the dance smiley at the end of this post instead of here because it spoils my block of text paragraphs. Talking to the moron for ages, I finally got Daelan to explain about his brooch and got his +1STR amulet from him. Not that great, but I assume I can get a better version on the next chapter, and at least it lets me carry more stuff. I know that it would probably spoil the game, but I really don't see why you can't wear more than one amulet at once. Never mind, I don't need to be able to to finish the first chapter - hopefully next visit to the table as they say in the snooker commentary.
Does anyone fancy a 'poly munchkin super build? I can't be bothered to start off, but if someone (Jamski, say) does, then we can all take a couple of levels each and create something über/something that ruins the levels the last person made. Does anyone fancy doing that then?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot:

I am sick of the bulls (levels 8-12 I used them a lot) and ants, as I've killed them a lot, as they give really good xp if you kill them at 11-14. Now they are just decent.

I've done wrecker's point, including the boss. Just chug clarity potions.

I've done the bull caves and the crypt, just not the bosses.

Freaks and Twizzler I did a few levels ago, but I might take a peek to see what spawns now. However it will probably just be more mountain giants, and I think it's easier to get xp killing mislabelled challenging people, or perhaps easy moderates.

For times I get in 1-2 hours on evenings, depending on how busy my gf is. Times vary, but 7.30 GMT is good for me for at least an hour, and I often have a later session from 10PM.

Weekends are more flexible. Saturday I am usually busy all day, but Sunday we could meet up any time if we agree it beforehand.

Btw Twizzler pass was hard for me when I did it a few levels ago. I didn't find a boss either........there were just 2 giants in the cave at the top. Is there a boss that didn't spawn?

Well if you join a 15 both and he kills what he would have solo whilst you stand around doing nothing, you both level faster.

I wouldn't do this as a level 2, but I might as a level 15.

There's supposed to be a boss in that cave. I'm guessing that someone killed it and it hadn't had enough time to respawn. Or Alerbic removed it or something.

That "boss in the cave" is one of Folderol's greatest challenges. A real favorite of mine, but he has a HUGE respawn time, (1 hour? 2?) and seems to be possessed more often by DMs than any other creature.

My character is Rerien with some long impronounceable elfish name (because elves should have such names). Currently Rogue 4, Fighter 1. Generally going to stick with the rogue class, but take a few more fighter levels to make better use of longbows. Probably take a level of Shadowdancer for hige in plain sight. Right now my melee weapon is a magic warhammer, which seems kind of strange for an elf to have, but magic weapons on earlier levels are difficult to come by. I also got a troll ring, which is great since I generally dislike resting with primarily nonmagic characters. This is why I don't play rangers very much, because I'll never use the spells.

I was just taking a peek at Dalakora, which has a UK server that is populated, and seems very interesting. It has a harsh death system though, where you lose 1000xp per level and all your items. You can retrieve them if you get to your body first, but it seems mean.

Anyway, because it is so harsh people talk about resurrecting their own character with another. Is this possible on Folderol? I ask because I have one that's coming of age that could resurrect, because when my level 15 player dies it's gut wrenchingly annoying to lose 750 xp. There usually aren't enough players to get a resurrected by another.

I finished off the fourth quest in the City yesterday while I was off work, and have now saved outside the Helm's Hold or whatever it's called. I'm making progress, and may well have it done before Doc's estimate.
I'm still about 250 xp off my first level of RDD, and miles off getting some funky wings, but there's nothing to be done but to work at it.

Basically it's just a character build to level 40, but with everyone each taking just a couple of levels each (say to each new feat, or maybe to each new ability +1) so that we can all augment/spoil whatever the person before was thinking of, or to add feats that we'd regard as vital, but others might not. I think it'd be fun, but I'm not prepared to go first.

I finished Chapter One of the OC yesterday, proving myself to be a Sunday gamer extraordinaire. The final battle was a massive pain in the arse, and I had to use loads of potions just to survive. Daelan died pretty much straightaway, after he automatically ran to attack the boss and ignored all of the other things that I wanted him to kill first. Moron.
Still, I managed to knock off all the other creatures, and then it just descended into a five minute long hackfest, in which we traded blows non-stop and I drank some potions when I thought my HP was getting too low. Eventually I took enough from the boss to make him surrender, but it was a painful drawn-out thing. Still, I'm off to explore Chapter Two, probably next Sunday.

If we do the 'Poly Hero thing, I'd have it so that every "turn" was either 4 pre-epic levels or 2 epic levels. We'd also need to have a general focus for the character-- melee, spellcasting, etc.

Also, are we actually going to be playing out this character to build it up? It'd be a hell of a feat if we could get an uberchar that's viable at ALL levels, not just at level 40 or close to it.

Duke, if you mean the Desther battle, it's a royal pain.

As for the 'Poly character idea, I don't think Duke realises how long an epic level takes in MP. If you meant this for SP the highest you'd get the character to is 27.
