Hickory Branch MOD (new)

Let that serve as a warning to any who would Rundor these forums. The wrath of krunch be upon you!

 

Finally got to do Hickory Branch and it played really well. Lot's of cool stuff, It brought back memories of 25 years ago, when we use to slug it out with orcs and gnolls. Great job. I really enjoyed this one.

 

What's the console command to teleport to this? I talked to Mona and asked for adventure. She said "Let it be so" (or something like it) and nothing happened.

 

Check your inventory - there should be something there that wasn't before...aper:

 

Ok. I went to the gnarley wood, killed 5 drow and got Cujo's weapon. I know there's more to the mod than this.

Note that I'm playing 5.0.0.

Wrong mod. That bit of the Gnarley Wood is part of the Moathouse respawn. Hickory Branch is accessed by asking Mona in Nulb for a challenging adventure. She will then give you something that will take you there.

 

aehchua,

Sent you a PM while CtB was posting, says basically the same thing Blue does, in a bit more detail. (Didn't think Krunch would like too much spoiling on the board.)

 

Never got the PM (personal message?). aehchua@ntu.edu.sg. Don't know what Mona was supposed to give. Was it salable? Note that character #1's inventory was full when I talked to Mona.

look at the top right corner of the page (any one in the forum) it'll say something like...

Welcome, aehchua.

If the character who was talking to Mona did not have any inventory space, that might be the problem. I'm not sure how TOEE handles that situation. The item she gives probably is not salable (should be value 0.)

 

(1) You messed up if the character's inventory was full. Go to a previous save and make sure you have one inventory slot open.

(2) No, it is not an item for sale. It is not in her pack. It's not like she has the map in a pocket, sack, or bag and is looking for someone to give it to who could be worthy. Mona never has the item, herself. Mona is just a messenger who tells fortunes. Go back and read the dialogue when you are ready to select and click an option. And, when you select "I look for challenging adventure!", read the response - the words she utters and speaks. It is as if someone your characters could not see or hear had told her something in her mind and, then, she speaks. The map is a "gift" for helping Mona per the option you selected and asked for challenging adventure.
* Be careful of what you ask for in life because you might get more than you can handle. After all, to receive the option you are "asking for it". heh *smirk*

 

Another way I could handle it is to just give nnnn to a character. I can't go back to a save. I've long ago overwritten any save game there- I've just killed Hendrick, and the temple proper has been depopulated save for one merchant, Wonnilon, and the post-Hendrick fungi/oozes.

I assume the item is called a map? I was poking through description.mes, but couldn't find the word hickory. I'll look for "map."

Yes, I know hickory branch will now be boring, since I can just disintegrate the bad guys, but I just want to see it.

 

Good mod, Krunch. I enjoyed playing through it. Thanks.

 

Just don't post spoilers. Have fun and enjoy.

 

Hey, krunch. I've noticed some rules-related issues with some of your monsters. Things like feats, skillpoints and CRs. Would you like me to compile a list for you?

That said, you weren't kidding about it being challenging. It managed a couple of TPKs (in two different fights) before I decided to level up some more. I'll try tackling it again later.
