I am slowly exploring 7-8 lvl with my poor and sub optimal party of adventurers (Magi 50lv, Warrior/Thief 60lv, Artisan/Explorer 60lv).

When to stop lvl explorer - does he gets any better? He has some useful spells, but I am thinking on switching to artisan to get all the good gear asap.

My magi sucks, I am thinking on muticlassing him with sorcerer, but exp penalty could be harsh.

Warrior/Thief - many kills, good at chests

Where is tea room? When can I level more than 2 levels after being pinned?

This game is cancer, I fucking love it.

this should cover your first question. at least it worked for me back in a days

about tea room. i forgot. AGAIN! dont bang your head for it. you will find it when a time is right
Pinned means you're fucked. you can complete mission or forefit. no other way and main reason why i started to cheat

damn i love this game

Apparently in revenge you can get more than 2 levels at once, skipping 'pinning' mechanics. But I don't know how to activate it.

i downloaded DEMO of revenge but i cant make it run. After all those years Mr. Declin seems to couldn't afford a proper coder to make a game start with no issues FFS
Changing properties of those 3 .exe files to run with fagdows XP service pack 3 do the job

AWESOME DELIVERY IN THE MAIL!

Decklin really came through when I asked if he had a spare Devil Whiskey box. HE DID!

I also ended up buying a 2nd copy of the DW manual thinking it was something else. Oh well.

In addition, I bought a copy of Demise and he included the Ascension disk with patches up to 2022 (probably not latest patch but that's easy to fix). Not bad. From Mordor to this has been on my bucket list to get for a while. The DW box is in far better shape than I imagined. For now, both store safely in the box they were delivered in. I must say, the Demise book is pretty hefty. I do wonder ehen Revenge of the Tavern Keeper is fully out if it too will have a disc.

Now, i need to reinstall or update my digital version of Demise I purchsed through GamersGate in 2019 or do a fresh install.

I mean.... when I'm done with summer and late fall. I'm outside away far more often biking, hiking or w/e.

Cheers

I got the demo, how do you make a Cleric? :D I made a Warrior but the Cleric keeps telling me the race has insufficient skill points. But it says the same thing with all the races and combos.

To make a cleric you need to start as another class and change to it when you have enough stats. Possibly at level 1 if you have other characters to farm the stat books/potions. Remember stat books need 10 int and 10 wis to use.

Usually best to get 30 artisan before levelling a caster though. Easy way to get a lot more max hp.

Im going to have to ask something "Messed up", but does anyone know, have and/or can share the dtr-all-in-one rar from such website that was about to close and forgot the name of?

I kinda really wanted to play the "Enhanced Mode" and by knowing nothing i dont know if buying the game has this thing the DTR Assistant that Works. So as irrespectful it is to ask for such file, i really grew desperate since i had it for years and i completly forgot to do a backup when Restarting my computer.

I actually didnt expect that the DTR Assistant from there didnt had the Enhanced Version, since i was really hoping to have that which has a higher difficulty.

No matter the case i would thank you a lot for this, i didnt knew about this "wayback machine", so i really appreciate everything, thank you so much for the help.

Sorry for missing yours for a moment, but i do feel it is Exactly that one that i had with the Maps, Guild infos, Spellbooks drops and Cheats.

I really do appreciate both of you tindrli and litk help though.

One Last thing to this. Im really dumb and i just found the Enhanced Monsters in the DTR Assistant, i just wanted to put and end to my nonsense and appreciate everyones help again.
I just had a different assistant so i didnt know, was just a small mistake.
Everything you guys gave me work perfectly fine, thank you!

This looks rather fascinating and not even sure how I missed this?

Just so I understand, at https://decklinsdemise.com/index.htm Revenge of the Tavern Keeper isn't yet for sale?

When you can finally purchase Revenge of the Tavern Keeper, it includes and you can then play Rise of the Ku'Tan, Ascension and Revenge of the Tavern Keeper?

This is how I understand it works. Right now, a beta version of Revenge should be available through Decklins site. When I first learned about Ascension, it was playing the current beta version at that time. It just meant he was continuing to update and add more content to the game. Ascension itself is an expansion of Rise of the Ku'Tan, and I believe Revenge works the same way, making the dungeon larger and deeper. I'm not sure what a final release would look like, because he keeps making new beta builds available.

Still trying to wrap my BRIAN around this, so when playing Revenge of the Tavern Keeper, (I'm just making these numbers up) dungeon levels 1-20 are Rise of the Ku'Tan, levels 21-40 are Ascension and 41-60 are Revenge of the Tavern Keeper?

Something like that?

It's more like, the Ascension build expanded all or most of the levels. What were, for example 35 x 35 maps, became huge 90 x 90 sized levels. He added new locations like water areas, and other places that are hidden and hard to get to. I think Revenge will continue to add to the existing maps, and perhaps create new levels as well. I haven't been following the more recent developments.

All you need to do is play Revenge of the Tavern Keeper as it includes ALL the content from all previous games just with more stuff.

Devil Whiskey can be bought DRM free on gamersgate.com . highly recommended, it's a very nice Bard's Tale clone with a somewhat scottish feel to it.
and Decklin's Domain is legit. the guy behind the company isn't the developer of Devil Whiskey, but he owns the rights to it.

Yep, I bought a copy of Demise through gamersgate and naturally I searched out his site on ebay to get physical copies. Dude was awesome enough to even send me a cover he had left for Devil Whiskey.
