Aaand we're back!
CHAPTER 8: KILL IT WITH FIRE
Our noble heroes, finishing things up in Silvar.
We make a quick stop to buy a bronze buckler for SMA (also, I checked and you can't equip both a two-handed weapon and a buckler at the same time).
Exploration time!
Pfft. Easy.
Note: this area is damn annoying to navigate because of all the stalagmites that block your path.
After traveling north for a while, we run into this sign next to a tunnel.
Formello! The largest city in Avernum. We won't be going there yet, but we'll see it soon enough. We can buy some spells for our spellcasters there.
This doesn't bode well. Let's run away!
Eh. What's the worst that can happen? Let's
Approach.
oh wow how sudden and unexpected
The battle was pretty dull, just a few goblins. No screenshots, apparently.
oh shit oh shit oh shit
As you can see, DJ101 and Liberal are in a very unfortunate position here.
DJ101 attempts to make the brigand shit himself and run away in fear.
Success!
Fear is a very useful spell for situations such as that.
Yeah, fireball kicks
ass.
We could take the goblins, but I'm a bit worried about those Nephilim catching up with us. This calls for a tactical retreat!
Hot damn! SMA has hit level 3 already! Looks like we're returning to Silvar.
running running running
We stop at Dunvo for a quick catnap (no pun intended).
Bring it, you damn furries!
Oooh! One of the Nephilim dropped a gem.
Since we are in combat, only the active character (Racofer) can pick things up.
Hmm. Looks like we'll have to get that thing identified.
More damn Nephilim!
Oh boy.
I try to position the party so that our fighters won't be surrounded.
DJ101 mops 'em up with a well aimed fireball. Also, Racofer has leveled up!
More loot.
oh really now
Spark seems to be doing a fair bit of damage to these Nephilim, so it looks like Liberal is finally useful for something!
Note how Andy only took 1 point of damage from that Nephil's attack.
Score! A nephil dropped some armor!
It's a baldric of some kind. We'll have to get this identified up at Dunvo.
At last we reach Silvar. This seems like a nice place to end the update, so I'll see you all next time when we swear at ghosts and fight even
more catheads! Joy!
Sorry about the short update. Next one will be longer, I promise!
