kotb quests ( what now)?

kotb quests ( what now,spoilers)?

im at a stalemate in the mod it appears. where are all the quests? i have like 4 more to do on my log. one is arachnaphobia,which i cannot seem to complete even though i cleared the woods,got the eggs,etc. 2 other quests are not covered in the demo. and there's also 1 mentioned quest about fixing trade relations with the keep,and thats about it. does this game have an ending? i'm looking for secret doors all over.not finding any. i'm using version:1.0.3. is this the final version of the mod? is there a final version of it? do i have to start all over again with another version of kotb to get all the quests and "finish" it? is it not possible to loot the black dragon's chest? thanx in advance for answers. peace.

 

thank you.

 

Loving KotB so far.

I've completed the Spider Quest, found directions to the Tower in the Lizard Lair and
even got a teaser look at the Raider's Camp.

This led me to the Castellan's room where I got more teasers and sent to the "Caves", which has not turned out exactly as expected.

I am dumbfounded about references to the sewers and other quests, however. I'm also puzzled - where is the magic? I have a 5th level party and a mere 8 +1 arrows among the whole group!

I trust if I keep adventuring I'll find my way to the other quests I see referenced here.

Congrats on your work. Wish there was a way I could help!

 

The keep is attacked! Um, by a single tracker. The guards tell me to call Bailiff... But I don't know who he is and where he is. So, where is he?

Edit: Never mind, I found him... after I went into every building in the keep. Tough luck. :roll:
Would be nice if the guards also say that Bailiff is in the building to the south...

Oh, and before that I killed the tracker and the guards just kept on "attacking" and "getting hit"...

 

Just to make sure there isn't a misunderstanding, I attacked the Tracker manually from where the "attacked" guards stand, because I couldn't find the Bailiff, just to see what happens. (That means I manually attacked him with a magic missile, bow or anything while he was still green/friendly).

I'm currently doing the evil wizard / lost adventurers quest. I entered the tower some time ago and like to pass a compliment. I was really impressed by the atmosphere right from the start! The goblin is just great (appearance, dialog), as is the riddle and the whole evil wizard idea.

Also, I was really surprised that I was able to solve the math's riddle, because I just picked something at random and even though there were so many answers I picked the right one at my second or third try. :suprised:

 

Well, I really don't get how you did it, then... because there seemed to be a lot of options even though my character had a relatively high intelligence.

The tower was really a lot of fun. Fighting the wizard was a challenge even though my party was already at level 5.
The fed-ex quest was also fun, I think the riddle about water and shell was a lot more difficult than the others though. It was the only riddle I couldn't figure out by myself. Most of the other items could be found in or near the tower, where the scaly child's toy was even explicitly stated... But the water and shell item has to be bought from a merchant... it was a great quest nonetheless.
I'm a bit confused about the children though. I didn't want to kill them so I knocked them out and they became paralyzed. They still stood up when I returned to that room later though, and I had to knock them out again. Will there be an option to cure them from their madness in the full game?
I also did not have the heart to kill the goblin thingy. I knocked him out and left... Would be great if it would be possible somehow to let him join the party if you don't kill him and do a certain quest or anything...

The magic items I got there might have been a bit too plenty. 2 Rings +X, Dagger +2, Mace +1, Cloak of Resistance +2, a lot of potions... Considering that I almost didn't get anything magic before that, maybe the dagger and cloak should be +1 and the Mace should be masterwork?

After that I had completed most of the quests I found so I talked to the Bailiff, then to the Redhead who sent my into the castle and everyone congratulated. Then they sent me into a cave, but when I entered the cave I was in a house, leaving the house led to the Keep again. But I guess you know about that, considering how obvious it is...

I still don't know where to get 50 swords for the priest. Can it be done in the demo?

 

But they're such CUTE monsters!

 

What to do -- I encountered the temple to Hextor, gave a smart answer, started a fight, lucked out with some well-placed spells and killed everyone (we all leveled up for that one). What quests are foreclosed to me for doing so since all the hextorites are now as silent as the grave? Do I have to go backward? I cant even tell the Bailiff that I kicked their butt, my only choice is 'erm, nothing.' The outer bailey cleric dude seems to know Axer (a former student gone bad?) but made me swear not to say anything then won't talk about it anymore.

2) Any clue where to find the gift of shell and water, or the scaly child's toy to the east (can't find it in the lizard man cave, unless they mean an ordinary javelin)...

Thanks for help!

You can get the gift of shell and water from the Summoner or Necromancer encounters. It comes in black or white.

The toy comes from the OTHER (former) lizardman abode. (Take some breath mints!)

 

KotB Team,

Well I should have written in 2 weeks ago, I did the last encounter a few times as it was such a challenge that it was rare to get through it (if at all) without at least one death in the party. A few times I've had the amusing situation where the spell-caster is left to fend for herself as the last survivor -- running away and blasting, tumbling running and blasting, ultimately left as the only one alive (she'll have to undo the Post Traumatic Stress with her therapist for years afterward).

When I first survived, it was so satisfying seeing that golden sparkly flash on every standing member of the party before the 'level up' plus pops onto their icon, salivating at the thought of looting the losers -- but then the demo is over just as the main quest is starting....More, please! Quickly!

Is their by chance a list of available quests great and small, that can be found and done in the demo version, for a second 'smell the daisies' run to make sure they all get tried?

P.S. If you have installed the demo and the interface, does that mean that you also have the Co8 mod for the original game as well? Havent revisited the old ToEE game yet, do I have the mod already?

P.P.S. curious question -- Circle of 8 name and the Greyhawk wizards...any conscious ref to the London group of the 1870s with same name, or is that ref on part of Gygax?

Thank you Shining Ted and Team, this is a great work.
