    The CE guys and gals now join the LG folks in defeating Zuggy, thanks in large part to Stinking Cloud and Maximized Magic Missiles- and I tried the Maximize feat again for my sorcerer and noticed that I was trying to cast the spells w/o actually being high enough level to do so (currently 12th level). No doubt this accounted for them being shown in red...:blush:

    Question: trying something new with the NG/NE alignments in that I accept Laereth's surrender and try to take him to Hommlet- but when I do, he always flees. How do I get him to the prison so I can free him later? Does he have to be knocked out or what?

    If you DO knock him out, you won't even have to carry him because his lazy butt will show up laying around when you switch maps. ;)

    I actually knocked him out once after I got there but nothing happened as far as anyone taking him to the jail- he just lay sprawled on the ground outside of the castle tower :). I got the reputation of being a friend of Laereth the beautiful but he still didn't show up in the jail to be rescued. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? I'm continuing on with the NG guys- I'll leave it to the NE to try to rescue him- which seems more in keeping with that alignment IMO...

    Re: Circle of Eight Modpack v7 / v7 NC Bug Report Thread

    In my current 7.7 NC game I cleaned the Moathouse Respawn, returned to Hommlet to ID the loot at the Smith and then went to the Inn to heal and rest.

    Had the cleric cast lesser Restoration on the Rogue/Wizard because she was hit by Quasit Poison and then rested 8 hours.

    When waking up the Rogue/Wizard had gained two diseases. The 2nd displayed was the usual Filth Fever, but the 1st listed was displayed as:

    "Disease: Error! Missing line 415 in mes/combat.mes"

    Edit: Would it be possible to raise the upload limit for zip files from 400 KB to something like 1,44 MB so that savegames could be uploaded in 1 zip file?

    Another Edit: And I noticed that Elmo´s speed is reduced to 10 for no apparent reason. Loading older savegames it was still 20 after killing Lareth but already 10 in the Moathouse respawn and I never noticed until now.

    Is Elmo encumbered?

    No. He carries the maximum of his light load: 116 of 116 and the value is still given in white (instead of yellow when a character would be encumbered).

    But even if I have him give all his stuff to other party members to a load of 0 / 116 he still has a movement rate of 10

    Hm, there is clearly no line 415 in combat.mes, not does it appear there is supposed to be. (The ten diseases of ToEE are listed in lines 400 - 409.) It's likely a .dll bug.

    Elmo sounds like random gone-bad. It happens.

    Is it normal that one character can catch more than 1 disease in the inn resting?

    How can I fix that? Remove Elmo from party and hire him again?

    You could try that, or anything else that pops to mind, and let us know how it turns out. ;) The game clearly has some issues with permanency in various forms (like spell effects and particle effects). I suspect this is something similar.

    I think you can catch more than one disease at a time, yes (although a rules lawyer would know more). You don't actually catch diseases at the inn btw; they may just manifest there - or anywhere else - after incubating.

    I returned to Hommlet and in front of the Inn dismissed Elmo from the party. Then I invited him back and he still has a movement speed of 10. :sadblinky
    Before dismissing him I stripped him of all possessions to avoid losing any magical stuff.

    Is there a reason that protos 14674 is named Morhg and not Mohrg?
    http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/mohrg.htm

    When searching the whole forum with the search function not once is Mohrg used as in the Monsters Manual - everyone, even in the walktrough uses Morhg...?

    That's actually been changed internally - I saw the error while working on Ted's Moathouse Respawn reloaded, which will feature in 7.8. :)
