Ambush after clearing moathouse

Ok so I'm just curious, why do Zert and the Monk guy attack you? Is it explained more later in the game? It was all very vague when they were giving their "reasons". If it's a spoiler or anything though don't tell me

 

and they always speak to you like you know them, even if you never talked to them at the inn

 

But if you talk to them at the inn, it all seems to fit together pretty well, especially if your faceman is a Pally.

 

What happens if they are in your party?

 

its my story G man lol, but yea your right. maybe have a story line were one of your 2 possible wives shut her up lol

 

I've still to play a TN party with the NC but so far only LE parties aren't attacked after clearing the moathouse the first time around.

 

You know the requirements for the Moathouse ambush have been listed in gazra's guide >_>

 

Update to this:

It is comical,but it works everytime I try.

After the Lareth battle you are usually weakened and loaded up with items,and in 7.4 you can't just sneak out another exit-ambush happens each exit.

So...I use non lethal on Lareth alone or otherwise,then strip him and leave to sell all the armour etc,rest,return and kill him,then the ambush is triggered whilst a fresher party. The option is try to rest and get random encounters,but you need to organise the loot or lose it on the bodies-chest inside and drawer you can use to store them.

Hope this helps?

 

First time I had this fight, I was pretty beaten up post Lareth et al, and worse still I realised as the fight broke out that my last save was before the Lareth fight. Fortunately I had come out through the secret door of the ground floor level of the moathouse (I think I'd gone to collect some loot from the bandit chief), which has a narrow wooden bridge between the door and where the ambush spawned, meaning my one remaining grease spell was able to keep me relatively safe. All the same it was a close run thing and I ended with a couple of players unconscious. All in all a very enjoyable fight, fought for high stakes. If fully rested and healed it's pretty easy and not half as much fun. Same with men in Lincoln Green, whom I first met when out of healing spells and low on firepower.

 

My PnP group is going through the moat house and we were able to spike all the doors leading into a room and rest, now wouldn't that be a trip back to PnP days if we could pull something like that off in the cRPG.

A door opening towards you and a handful of spikes = good place to rest?

 

Door spiking, breakable doors and burning oil flasks. Those were the days.

 

Still are, grab your die and head on over to Fantasy Grounds, we are always in need of players!

pm me if you want specifics.
