Should be helpful, although even then, your attack rating will be nothing to write home about...unless you get all those crazy dex boosting items. Like those shoes you mentioned earlier but didn't get. Ah, well, surely there will be better versions later.RK47 said:
Can they be killed, even, or are they plot required and will therefore never actually die?RK47 said:
The AI's stupidity when it comes to dealing with those is what makes them extremely powerful, yes. You should very much discourage them from ramming into them and setting them off: It prevents you from recovering them for your own use! If they will listen, try to get them to hold their position so you can cloak and scout ahead, de-mining the place (and collecting them for your own use!).RK47 said:
Well, technically, there is nothing in the paladin code that forbids being rude and downright tasteless and crass.RK47 said:
I'm going for full Dex. I did get the boots. 
This couple can die. If one of them dies, the other will go berserk, turning hostile...and screaming, "You Killed Him/Her!" Kinda disappointed with that, TBH. This is a common problem I face with most companions in OC, but down here, it's perma-death and breaks the quest flow.
Oh, the funny thing is, I recall a Paladin would fall if he drinks himself silly in TOEE.
So...he can't get drunk, but he can partake in carnal desires?

hey, in this multi-god universe, a deity needs all the followers they can get, so what better way to get them then to make your holy warrior procreate.
onwards, to find the holy golden dildo!

Paladin broke his oath when he lied to the captain. He should fall for that if nothing else.
Well I don't think they are that bad though.. compared to the commoners on the streets and the guards and noblemen and basically almost everyone.

Chapter 33: The Dark Hole
We awake much refreshed, and return to our explorations.
Hmm. I don't see a lock, or a key hole.
Neither do I.
My order must have sealed the door after they cleansed the temple, so the plunderers won't put their hands on the dangers resting down below.
Let's search for a another way, then.
Whatever it is, it must be magical. The whole door is practically bathed in a radiant white light.
The third door leads to another torture chamber.
Looks like the corpses refuse to stay dead!
Myra calls upon her God to turn the undead. We dispatch the fleeing undead easily.
I eye a lone lever near the corner of the room.
It opens the door to yet another trapped corridor. No problems for my fingers.
Looks like trouble. I better get the party back lest they trigger the trap!
With the undead in tow, we engage it in a more favorable position.
Another undead appears from the dark corner of the corridor.
I call Christiano to return to our spot and avoid triggering the trap. The undead slave fell under our onslaught.
What an outfit.
Absolutely scandalous!
Christiano looks at her questioningly.
Those...clothes! I don't want to know what these creatures were used for in life!
You're probably right..
We'll put an end to this!
Doesn't matter. I grab the whip and the armor. They're both magical. It's gotta be worth something! The two cells reveal nothing of interest...except for a hole on the third cell.
A dark hole is carved into the floor. I cannot see the bottom of it. The walls are smooth, making it impossible to climb up or down.
Hm, now what?
We may have to go down, dear. What do you think, Aisha?
I think we need to go down, as well.
Easier said than done. They forgot to install a ladder, methinks. Does anyone have a rope we could use?
LP Comment: Yes, the game will hint that you forgot to bring a rope. At this point, it doesn't seem to impact it much, except I heard that bringing a rope gives XP bonus for preparedness.
I shrug. Why didn't I think of that? Hmm.
Damn. Well...
He steps closer to the hole and tosses down some rubble. It takes two or three seconds before we hear it hit the ground.
This is not too deep. I think we could just drop down. The problem is, how do we get back up?
I won't drop down into this dark stinky hole, forget it! Do you have an idea how heavy my armor is? And don't even think about leaving me alone up here with those...things!
Well...
They both look at me.
Why are you looking at me?
Aisha,.. would you mind checking it out? I swear we will not abandon you. Myra and I will look for a way to get you up in the mean time.
Alright.
I guess there's no choice.
Don't worry, Aisha. We'll get you back up.
Taking another deep breath, I drop down into the darkness.
Dexterity check success. Like a cat, I land on my feet, my legs absorbing the shock of the impact.
Two doors lay in the dark. I pick the one on the right first.
Looks like a safe place to rest...
I proceed to the left door and found a lone corpse. Searching inside, I found a book and a greatsword. I reach out for the book, eager to read its content. Only to be engulfed in darkness when I touch its leather binding. I try to scream out in shock to no avail. My voice...it's gone!
I stagger, feeling dizzy, the ground spinning rapidly under my feet. Somebody clutches my arm, keeping me from falling.
Here she is, Master.
The man who was clutching my arm lets go of me, bowing his head respectfully to the man sitting on the large chair.
Good. Good. Very good.
The man on the chair snickers, pointing at the ground next to him.
The warrior slams his weapon into the back of my knees, knocking me onto the floor. I hear myself crying out in pain. The man makes a fist in my hair, forcing me up into a kneeling position. The robed man on the chair gives me a sidelong glance.
It has come to my attention that little Aisha still hasn't touched her delicious food. You are being a bad girl again, hm...?
I attempt to respond, only to found that I am unable to.
You need not respond, Aisha. I realize it's difficult for you ever since we've removed your sweet little tongue.
He snickers again. His hand snakes between my legs, finding the folds of my pubic lips.
Wet like a water fall.
Withdrawing his fingers, he smiles at me.
I assume it must be the sight of your beloved that has excited you so, little Aisha?
He points at the man kneeling at the bottom of the pit in front of us.
Who...is that? How...how did I get here? Gods...I begin to cry.
It's too bad that he cannot behonl your beauty anymore. But he is a stubborn man, and stubborn men have no need of their eyes, right?
I shudder, glancing down at the shackled man in the pit. Hollow, empty eyes sockets stare back at me, dark with congealed blood.
As your beloved cannot see you anymore, and as you cannot whisper sweet words into his ears at night, I suppose he won't have need of his manhood, either.
The man on the pit cries out and starts pulling on his shackles like a madman. The man in the chair motions to the dark figure in the pit, who slowly walks around the shackled man, the n starts clubbing him, hard, until the shackled man loses his consciousness. Producing a knife, the dark figure starts cutting off slices of the shackled man's genitals. The shackles man opens his eyes again, struggling and yelling until his voice is hoarse. There's a lot of blood, and it takes a while before there's nothing left between the man's legs but a big, red gash. The dark figure clubs the shackled man again until he doesn't move anymore, then unfastens him. Another man walks down into the pit and carries the unmoving body off. The man in the chair smiles at me.
Mayhap little Aisha will find her beloved's testicles more to her taste than his eyeballs.
He motions to the warrior standing behind me.
Let her perform her service.
They tie my arms to the post at the bottom of the pit. Nobody speaks a word. The man sitting in the chair watches me impassively. After a few moments, he stands up and slowly walks down to me.
He steps behind me. I see him pulling up his robe, but in place of a phallus is a huge, metallic rod with glittering thorns all over it. I cry out in shock, almost fainting, as he places the rod against my sex. Burning white pain shoots through my groin. I pass out from the agony.

I can't help but notice you seem to be wastefully destroying the traps instead of retrieving them intact, even though your skills should be more than sufficient to enable you to recover them intact. Any particularly good reason for wasting perfectly good loot and hardware?RK47 said:

It gives EXP. It's probably the most reliable EXP rewards than combat in this game, and what allows Aisha to level up so rapidly. I'm willing to bet 75% of the XP I've gained so far comes from Picking Locks and Disabling Traps. I don't know why the game doesn't reward any XP for recovering traps, but that's what I discovered. No worries. I'm really pushing for that Shadowdancer level before slowing down a bit. Heh heh.

I was able to like it okay until I read his pillars book and I just got so disgusted with the pure idiocy of everyone in it and all the arguments that made no sense that I just barely finished. Which I hear was the thing to do because apparently he just got stupider and stupider in the later books.

What I will tell you can be interpreted as an spoiler so I'll use the proper tag thingies, but...
... as otherwise you will lose some of the best content in the temple crawl, and the option to get some really good equipment and useful rewards at the end of the crawl.

Hello all
WOW LP... this is some serious work posting all this, no? You should do a livestream of it... a lot less work!
Makes an astounding thread tho. (am here from your GOG thread)
I think I played every update except the first and this latest one so is intresting seeing some of the changes. But yeh, for someone who wasn't going to whore her.... fail
...It is perfectly possible to play her as a good girl if you want.
anyway, hope it goes well for you and you see and enjoy the depth of choice. You made choices that meant you missed quit a few plot options so far so don't hide from a 2nd playthrough.
Have fun
.............
It does.... (assuming you are at 1.69 with th community french dialog.tlk update) Can have script firing issues in any languag tho!
Unfortunately an NWN issue rather than a fixabel dance with rogues issue. Seemingly impossible to script XP if you recover the trap. I guess it is a gamplay balancing thing of "xp or gold" your choice. *grinning*

EDIT: we can't upload a profile pic???(

Hi welcome to the Codex.
You should be thankful the profile pics are non upload-able, the community here can be quite....liberal.
Do check the other threads in this section, plenty of classic old game lovers here.
PS: The General Discussion is a place to discuss mature, relevant, and often deep issues that is currently plaguing this world. I recommend you avoid it.
And please, if you hate something, don't hold back in expressing it. This place thrives on both love and hate.
