KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[Serus]

It won't happen, which is a shame.

Hmmm, oh yes, it is some kind of possibility, but the other possibility is that the new content will show up before the end of 2024!

Really? Good news. I though you said it's over and you won't work on it anymore, 100% certain. My bad, I'm sorry. Still, you are to be congratulated either way for making something which is more than i can say about myself.

On Hearkenworld:

Is there a trick to unlocking the World Map? So far it's inaccessible.

Journal isn't updating. I'm getting new quests, but just the main quest (4 total so far, with going to Kelton the latest) and those don't close out when completed.

Speaking of which, what's the name of the Order of Zephyrs guy you meet in Khyn? Is he my sponsor? That would be handy info to have in the Journal.

The world map is not something that can be pulled up in game. However, as a reference this is how the maps link together:

Spoiler

I only use the journal for the main quests. This module is designed like games from the early nineties, especially the Gold Box games, where it was expected the player might have to write things down.

The sponsor for the Zephyrs is

Spoiler

Callistar Thul. You can type in either first or last name, or the entire name.

There are two references in the game, including a book, that list all the names of the sponsors. So this information could be obtained through further exploration.

 

[Desiderius]

So, uh, does the module have any Clubs or Quarterstaves?

I can tell you there are definitely magic clubs and magic quarterstaves to be found. But I’ll have to check if there are any drops of the regular variety.

 

[Desiderius]

Dwarven Druid wants to get his Shillelagh on!

Any chance to add one to initial stash? Wizards like to pretend they can use one too.

Yes I can do that. I’m also wondering if it is possible to make a basic club or quarter staff with the forge action when you trade with a cleric merchant. I’ll have to test if that’s an option.

 

[Desiderius]

Are there any?

Haven't found any yet (merchants with Forge function available)

 

[Dorateen]

In Edinmoor Keep, there is a cleric that you can trade with. That should allow the forge and enchant functions.

 

[Desiderius]

Wouldn't be a bad idea to add that functionality to the Blacksmith as a reward for tracking him down.

Any earlyish forge facilitates different playstyles without being unbalanced.

 

[Dorateen]

That's a good idea. If I change the blacksmith's character class it should allow the function.

I just tested with the cleric in Edinmoor, and you can make a standard Club or Quarterstaff for 1 gold. There are ingots at the Keep, too. In a way, this is kind of neat. If a player is looking to make a weapon that had not otherwise been available, this gives them a reason to travel to Edinmoor Keep irrespective of any story or plot reasons. In other words, the player provides their own motivation.

 

[Desiderius]

I’m almost to lvl five and have heard no mention of that Keep. Is it in Elven lands?

When you were on the map with the tavern (the mission looking for information), there is a transition on the west side of the screen that will take you to Edinmoor. Following the dirt road south will lead to the Keep.

 

[luj1]

Pierre needs to make modules which are not mindless gauntlets, but something more standardly open like Castle Hearkenwold

 

[Desiderius]

Open world without a map is taking me back to Atari Adventure days.

Nope, only thing there is a hole to Dwarf lands and the exit to the north from which we came in. There's a dwarf before that who is asking for something I don't have and an impassible path in the mountains above him. I have the grappling hook but no use for it yet. Dwarf hole goes to dwarf town and there's an orc town and locked door (Rogue can't pick) west of that. Kind of stuck that direction other than underground stuff.

I'm wondering, which version of the module are you playing? Edinmoor was added in September of 2022. The current module file on the nexus page has Edinmoor and all the most recent content.

 

[Desiderius]

Nexus?

Why are you using that?

Neither Vortex nor Nexus know the game exists.

Where is version number listed?

 

[Dorateen]

Nexus?

Why are you using that?

It's also available at RPGHQMod. But if you didn't download from those two sites, where did you get the mod file? I'd be happy to send you a link to the most recent version. If you put that int the modules folder, you can still continue with your saved games.

 

[Desiderius]

It comes with the base game.

Can you not get Pierre to update that himself for you? Would benefit you both.

If it's on Nexus it doesn't show up when you search for the game. Not sure how people are supposed to find it.

I post regular updates in this thread. This is the link to the Nexus page:

https://www.nexusmods.com/knightsofthechalice2/mods/5

I had no idea Piere is bundling the module with his releases, I will check with him to make sure it is upadated accordingly.

 

[Desiderius]

Vek the PF modder got in a fight with Nexus over something and apprently a lot of GitHub modders left. I haven't been using it lately as it's gotten a lot more opaque (like not being able to find KotC2 or Hearkenworld).

 

[Desiderius]

If you are planning to add an earlier forge option and/or a beginning Club/Staff pls let me know so I can put this playthrough on hold.

I'll try to get an update out tomorrow that will include those items, as well as the change to the blacksmith.

 

[Desiderius]

Got the newest version running. Can’t wait to try it.
