AAAAAAND..... WE'RE ON!
PART TEN A - SNOOPING AROUND METALMAKERS
We have two quests right now - getting the high knowledge from Umajo and means to harness power from the sneaky Kenget Kamulos. The Hivemind decided Metalmakers come first.
so, we arrive in the city
and head towards an unmarked house. We couldn't get inside earlier, because
this guard
wouldn't let us pass.
however,
[Diplomacy check:20]
To the equipmentmakers then
blah blah blah
we talk with this guy (some screens vanished)
to the miners then
Key obtained. However, because of our meta-gaming knowledge, we know we should something more here first. We don't want to do a lot of backtracking now do we?
our mission: get the secret words.
We have to evade these guys. If we're caught, we'll have to do it again.
Done. Now we can enter the cellars.
The door on the right is locked. We head north
and get a hammer
We backtrack, take the left corridor and then turn left
a big room with a chest surrounded by knives. we pull the lver
we backtrack again, to the first lever, which can now be pulled
and returned to the big room.
Inside we find a nice helmet and a key.
oh, and a map of the cellars
we're currently in the lower left corner. we have to get to the higher left corner.
the locked door can now be opened
puzzle time!
Siobhan gets her second attack at last
we take the right turn now
and reach a big chamber
there's a chest, but its locked. we move north
right
another key
and another
now left
a puzzle here, but we don't have a bucket full of water, and it's fortunately unnecessary
we rest
a wild switch appears!
this is the last lever here
a random fight around here somewhere
and at last
it's only the beginning
Conclusion of this chapter - in about half an hour

An update!

A couple of straight corridors first.
A new enemy: storm - a demon that can cast spells, notably thunderstorm. not quite likeable.
We take the southern door
After the fight, we find someone that isn't attacking us!
Well, that wasn't too hard. Since we already know the password...
Some lewt also.
Another new (I think) enemy, plague casts some spells, like panic or irritation, which isn't too dangerous. It also has, however, a fat critical chance.
We get back to the main corridor and head through the door on the left.
OH SHI-
Thank gods for frost avalanche.
We descend this hole
A spinner just spins us around. There's a passage to the north.
We find a chest with some phat lootz.
We use the staff on flickering flames to change their colour to blue.
The door cannot be opened. More on this later.
We manipulate all switches, of course.
Some more loot in the western passage.
Back to the flame room.
Descent again.
We're back on the second level.
We backtrack to the spinner room only to find that another passage opened, this time to the east!
Inside, we come across this magic curtain.
While inside, we can pass through the closed door mentioned earlier. However, it's one-way.
We continue to explore the eastern part. No screenshots saved, apparently
. Nothing important to mention though, only a lever pulled so that the spinner room has the southern door opened now.so - we take the curtain door, descend in the flame room, backtrack to the stairs, descend to the spinner room again.
And that's what back
A fake wall!
However, I must have done something wrong, not pulled a level or something, because there isn't any way further. Only another curtain door.
So we do it all again - backtrack, descend, you know the drill.
Time to go west.
when we step onto the plate, some more monsters appear and begin to chase us!
What could be worse than the previous group?
...
...
...
...
This is the infinite experience-room. Every time we press the floor-plate, another sixteen animals appear. They are pretty easy, IF Mellthas has Demon Exodus on high level. Unfortunately I forgot to even teach the spell to the furry lover.
We probably could manage to defeat one such group, but I simply cannot be bothered. We'll return here later, with Khunag to practice a little, since he'll be really gimped.
But for now,
And by choppa I mean another curtain-magick.
We manage to help ourselves to a particular Stone of Visions.
aaaand that's it! Wasn't that long, thankfully. Time for those blasted assassins!
Awwww.. Poot. I'd high hopes for the "infinite xp" thingie, and you're saying that your meta-gaming skills failed you and you showed up without the proper majick learned?

Yeah, these are/were a real pain in the ass. All isometric would've rocked.
Update finally! Some of these combat encounters are pretty ridiculous (especially the last two), and the dungeon crawling seems to be getting rather tedious at this pount (maybe I'm wrong). Looking forward to the next one!

Yeah, it's becoming tedious, that's the reason for the low update rate. The Umajo additionaly had a lot of pointless walks to dismal places, especially the iso part. The Kenget dungeon may be bigger and quite grindy, but at least there's not as much backtracking.MicoSelva said:[

I'm kinda burnt out right now. I've got one mostly finished update for Perry Rhodan, it *should* be out on the weekend at worst. as for Albion, I will finish the LP - just not right now.
If You wait too long, You will forget how to play this game and have to start all over. Don't let this happen!hoverdog said:
