So I've never played a CN party before so I thought I would give it a try. I make my party, log on, and proceed to beat down stuff in the opening. However, after I killed the zombies I went in the last room and found a locked chest. My wizard's open spell didn't work on the chest, and I can't find a key anywhere. I only have a ranger, wizard, cleric, so pick locks isn't an option. Do you have to start with someone who can pick lock in order to play CN alignment or am I missing something?
You're missing something. IIRC they key you need (and yes there is a key) is on one of the zombies. BTW, no thief?
I got the key from the chest with the air elemental. It opened the door fine, but didn't work for the chest.
I've always heard that yes, you do need a rogue to get out of the CN viginette. (But no, I've never done it myself.)
Sadly there are two chests. Air elemental chest has key for zombie room. Second chest requires character with lock picks and lock picking skill. I tried loading a knock scroll on a character. It opens the chest, but sort of hangs the game, as it can't proceed from that point. So make a temp thief if possible, then drop him/her in Hommlet.
OR Just "kill" a couple of skills points of a char with good Dex of ya party with open lock skill, and buy a Thieve's Tool to open the chest... I'snt that bad....
