@Perdition I hopefully have this done now.

@O-louth Took a stab at this using Elemental Essence. Pretty sure it'll work.

@EyeOfGruumsh Done for Redspring, added a rest tent there too.

@Erebus Set them all to 500 since shield was a little cheaper and the others were a little too much.

Actually, the code had been removed, I've put it back in, so it does protect against it, and the save will be vs death, not just fort, but fort vs death (so +vs death items will be useful)

This is a good suggestion and has my vote of approval.

@ShadowRealm We can just increase the size of the area, move the rest spot further from and keep it all in one area. Its easier to track later on if the area needs to come up or 'things happen'. So you go in a transition, move at least 4 squares from any area enemies can spawn, and rest in that spot.

@Mr-Moloch
There's also a meeting room in the gilded venture, near the rat races.

@V-Rage Its on my To Do but I keep fixing bigger problems when I have time. :)

Personally, I do like the idea of the referenced area or another nearby option available for a moment's rest to prepare for and encourage the engaging with the various quests.

You can change this by editing nw_s0_evardsa and nw_s0_evardsc.

As it is now:

nw_s0_evardsa 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_TWO); nw_s0_evardsc 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_TWO);

For +1 instead:

nw_s0_evardsa 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_ONE); nw_s0_evardsc 122 | eDam = EffectDamage(nDieDam, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING, DAMAGE_POWER_PLUS_ONE);

The grapple logic preceeds the paralysis check. Grapple determines how many of the tentacles aimed at the target succeed. Since it compares

nTentacleGrappleCheck = d20() + nCasterLevel + 8; vs nOpposedGrappleCheck = d20() + nOppossedGrappleCheckModifiers;

where

nOppossedGrappleCheckModifiers = GetBaseAttackBonus(oTarget) + GetAbilityModifier(ABILITY_STRENGTH, oTarget); (and +4, or +8 if large or huge)

i.e. if a level 10 wizard casts evards vs a level 10 human fighter, up to seven tentacles will try to grapple the target with an opposed check of d20 + 18 vs d20 + 14 or so highly likely 4-6 tentacles will hit the target per round. If a target is hit in a round, it rolls fort against paralysis (duration of paralysis is one round)

@TheMinionOfArabel 600 makes sense to me. Each of these potions individually cost about 120 gold in the historic district. A nice even 1:1 (pp:gp) for potions that are pretty easily dispelled.

I have tested the updated and moved quest.

Did it in two with Poppy yesterday. It was a change to the better for sure, two things that make it less fun now: no big clustered spawn(s) anymore to enjoy an AoE on, and the big backspawn scare does not have a substitute.

Also, the second spiked barricade in that winding corridor after the tight spot passage does not have any monsters/spawn behind it so it feels somewhat redundant.

Standard necro store will be available as of next reset.

There were a few issues with these guys, so I made these adjustments while I was in there fixing the rest.
