Sorry if this has been answered before, I searched for Iuz and Cuthbert and couldn't find an answer. But, my party is battling Hedrack, and Iuz showed up and started talking to the holder of the skull. I, of course, refused to give it to him, and battle rejoined. Cuthbert didn't show up and now Iuz is slaughtering my party one character per round. Any way to force Cuthbert to show? It is down to my sorc and wizard left, and they will be taken down easily.
It takes four rounds of combat after the battle with Iuz starts for Cuthbert to show up. On Iuz's turn on the fourth round Cuthbert should appear. If this is not happening, then you have some other issues going on, and we will need more information, such as your install order and what, if any, mods you are using.
Thanks - I forgot that Cuthbert didn't show up immediately after Iuz. It is me, or did Iuz get a boost? He was laying down 75 hp attacks (w/ crippling strike) on my front line meat shields, and cutting them down like butter...
It's not just you. Iuz and Cuthbert both got major boosts in 5.0.0 to more reflect their godly status. This is balanced by the inclusion of a fix which makes the whole encounter function as it should more reliably.
Yup. Folks were complaining that Iuz and Cuthbert were way too easy to kill, considering that they're gods. They're still not as powerful as the would be in PNP D&D (missing a ton of powers and spells) but I've yet to hear anyone brag about how their 8th level party "pwned" them.
Even before 5.0, Iuz was about impossible to kill. In a bythebook game with one fighter with scather, it is nye impossible. Iuz never was easy to kill. One of the strangest things i've ever seen in the year and a half i've been playing was my consoled/protos maxed out Fruella killed him on AoO's with Fragarach. But, that was before 5.0
