I remember that guy. He's fairly tough, BUT he's alone and makes one (powerful) attack per round with no lingering dot. If you recall player characters cannot be killed in one attack at positive hitpoints - they get knocked to 0hp by the first attack but don't die until they take more damage. That meant that as long as i cast one healing spell per round, no matter how weak, he could never kill anyone. While i slowly ground down his HP and killed him. Then looted the corpse. (This was in Avernum 3, but i believe Exile 3 is the same in this)

I had been talking about the Dervish. I killed him so I could steal his armour.

LuffyVeggies posted:Yeah, that's for the doubters - she can and will kick your rear end from the Surface to the Abyss and back without even trying. At least, she could if it wasn't for that "sunlight kills her" thing. Couldn't she shroud an area in magical darkness of something? Or bioengineer massive trees that block all light? (Or have a light-sealed tower and use teleportation to emerge at night to wreak... whatever it is Erica wreaks.)

I thought the reason Exile had so many mages wasn't that they were disproportionately exiled, but rather that what magical lore did end up down there was thrown open to be taught to anyone who wanted whereas the Empire places strict legal restrictions.

MagusofStars posted:FWIW, whether a monster is only one tile or multiple tiles isn't completely correlated to strength - A multiple tile monster is usually pretty strong, but some of the nastiest monsters in the game are single sprite. Like Art.

Yes, let's give up magic! And then we can all die of easily-preventable diseases! Won't that be fun.

wiegieman posted:That reminds me, why don't the lizards have horrible sunburn reactions? I'm sure the wizards at the Tower cooked up some kind of radiation shielding spell during the long period of preparation and construction of Fort Emergence. Many of the younger wizards have probably never seen the surface and all they know is that there's a massive fireball that will literally burn you if you just stand outside, so (rather excessive) precautions must be taken. (It's not just slithzerai. Human exiles are pale as fish and will burn incredibly quickly) To support this, the game references you being recognisable due to your pale skin even after you've been on the surface for a while. Because the shielding spells are stopping you from tanning?

Yes it is. While we're at it we should ban fire. That kills tons of people.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:I'm less saying that summoning is mechanically ineffective and more saying that almost every use of summoning we have seen has been: In the Empire all magic requires a license, demon-summoning included. In Exile the state was pretty much set up by a bunch of mages, so the laws are arranged to let them do what they want.

What would happen if you cast Quickfire on the surface? With no walls to stop it, would it just keep expanding until it burned the entire continent?

Krumbsthumbs posted:Either one party of the Dragons, Erika and the Vahnatai is setting up the others as a scapegoat, or all three are working together to break up the Empire's control of the surface. Or they've each separately decided to mess with the Empire, and hit upon similar ideas.

He's a Drake, not a Dragon. He may not be capable of much magic.

The question is, are they all working together or did they each individually come up with the 'monster plague' idea?

I'm kinda surprised that before the war the Empire never demanded the return of certain artifacts on pain of e.g. stopping food aid.

Major spoiler for Avernum 4 Rentar-Irhno 'survives' her death, becoming a Crystal Soul. Who then wreaks vengeance on Avernum for killing her.
