Changes to the module
-
A few more changes were added.
- Bard podiums were modified slightly.
- Request for backup should now be spoken clearly.
- Various small bugs were fixed.
- Druids wildshape strenght should not lower for smaller animals to avoid adding a lot of encumberment (druids, test this IG please)
Most importantly.
Protection from Good (and the magic circle version) now block the Paladin ability: Detect Evil.We are aware that by implementing this, we can not be as severe about the restriction that a Paladin shouldn't associate with evil. So we will be more tolerant about this. But Paladin should still try to avoid associating with evil and use their judgement to discern the motives of a character.
-
East Way Graveyard has had its lay-out altered slightly. The monsters there are what should have been there the entire time in-character, so don't be confused that some specific new undead "appeared" out of nowhere. Assume they have been rumored to be rising there since the the end of the Goblin Wars, but you're character just hadn't seen them until now if you see them.
I'm very interested in feedback on this area. It has always been dangerous, and is designed to be nearly impossible to make it to the very "end" of the area–however, at the same time it shouldn't be a total bloodbath for a good party of level 7 averages (you still probably won't make it to the "end" unless you're just stellar). So if you have concerns/comments/questions PM me so I can continue to tweak this area for maximum awesome.
-
Read those update carefuly, some game mechanics are usually affected here.
- Abjurations and divination spells altered so that the spell focus feats have an effect on them.
- Added in "Character Tool and emotes" from the "Crafting Menu" an option to jump all your animal companion, familiar and summons to you. This is to avoid bugs when you take a transition without changing area.
- Portals shouldn't eat your most valuable gem anymore unless it's the only one that works
- Altered the Jelly quest, fixed the pilgrim transition (give it a try), fixed a bug in the slaad quest
- Druid shifting adjusted again to avoid being heavily emcumbered while shifted because of the druid's equipment (test wildshape please)
-
- Altered the Jelly quest again. The boss should be rougher than a standing pile of blob now.
- Altered/fixed? the Juggernault quest.
- Gave another attempt at the option to recall your henchmen to you.
- Gilmor transition (the purple door) should now work
- Searching tool should now work
- Added a generic skill check script for conversations
- Other changes and debugging
Those to whom I gave Signal Tool and had the chance to use them. I would appreciate to have some feedback about how useful you think a tool like this might be if we make it available to the whole playerbase (sell it in NPC merchants stores).
I have also made available some uTools for some factions. Read carefully their description and check that they are no drop please. You can consider them part of standard equipment for your faction if they are available to you now.

Some changes in the module:
- Changes to the scribe system, if something does not work let me know. You can now rename notes and books.

Removed the unused scripts.
Adjusted NPCs on the Warehouse Quest.
NPCs on the Lady's Challenge no longer use Animate Dead, so they shouldn't be getting a Skeleton Servant any longer.

5. Possibly fixed some of the Narfel bugs

Added a new quest called Mysterious Cave, the quest is for players level 3-7.
Added several custom monsters for this quest.
Added Lord Tessaril Winter to Eveningstar; she is the current Lord of that village. Renamed Nathel Goodman and his wife to Mayor Tallhill so the current leader of East Way Village is also available in the module. Small changes, but done for flavor.

-
(Not quite finished yet, may be 2 resets from now)
-Several minor cosmetics changes (music, added placeables, etc)

Updated Kanthea's Tower. Edited her store which is accessible only after doing her quest, PM me anything you notice that is out of place.
Removed the area North Arabel: Wizard's Tower; Living Quarters because all of Kanthea's Tower is now one area.
Updated power on a few NPCs.
Added a prototype of fixes for the Alchemist Quest; DMs will be testing these over the next week or two to ensure I really fixed all the bugs that were plaguing this quest originally.
Updated the scripts that summon NPCs when a friendly NPC is attacked in a town; if anything odd goes on with this let me know.
Boss monster on Narfel Quest now scales.
Moved Thradril's Spawnpoint back a little on the warehouse quest-this will hopefully get him to stop setting off the trap in his place.
Added NPC to Dragoneye Coaster; let me know if anything odd is going on with her.
House Guard template is now Lawful Neutral and not Lawful Evil by default.
Fixed broken transitions in East Way. Hopefully, I got them all.

Fixed Apple Trees on Calantar's Way. Let me know if I missed apple trees in any other areas you see.
Fixed Red Sword Inn Keeper conversation to reflect Bhaliir's disappearance.
Fixed cat size and descriptions.
Replaced Yaesol's Quest bugs-this quest was disabled for some time. I left the Yaesol quest giver where he is for now, we need to test the quest and make sure nothing else is broken. DMs should be testing this over the next week.
Added an EO acolyte outside their building.
Shira's Dog is now a Cat since it makes more sense in Arabel anyway.
Created a few new demons for use on quests and plots.
Adjusted the power level of the Mysterious Tower quest, a party with level 7 PCs should be able to do this now. Let me know though if you encounter major challenges-screenshot your combat logs or send them through e-mail please. DMs should be testing this over the next few weeks since its tough to get enough level 7+ PCs to do a quest.
Many low-level quest NPCs will now be paying out slightly more gold, paying out gold rewards per person instead of lump sums, and handing out more quest reward items. Please suggest any other quests where rewards seem too low or too high (I especially want to be rid of quests that give lump sum gold rewards, I prefer to pay per person since it doesn't discourage taking a larger party) and we'll be looking at them in the future.
Added a Hidden Tunnel placeable for use on QS_ quests.
Edited several scripts. (This may cause some unusual behaviors in the current Alchemist Quest, please alert us to these but be patient, the scripts work right in the updated version.)

-Decreased Fog distance, hopefully reducing simultaneous rendering stress.

-Moved trees so that Sugnar's door should be fairly visible from the west angle.
-Added Bar/Inn sign to East Way Inn-Previously DM access only area now can be visited normally (Reminder, DM supervision for attacking non-hostile NPCs is required) and has undergone significant upgrades to bring it to standard for non-DM setup area.
-Fixed a missing tilemagic in a spoiler area, where a river suddenly became a chasm.
-Added swamp water tilemagic where the borderpoint of the Vast Swamp is on Thunder Way.
-Removed a large amount of unusued resources from finished plots, or NPC's now converted to the less resource-consuming system.
- Switched some of the Glade trees to new ones (Please report extreme lag situations, and we'll see if we can find a good balance). Changed background music in the Glade.
-Renamed Stormhorns Western Descent to Stormhorns Frigid Cliffs. This is to avoid confusion with the newer added Stormhorns Western area when that section of wilderness was expanded.
-Removed the late Prince Caliburnus.
-Some updates reflecting ingame events.
-North Road is now named Marliir's March, and all sections of the road are prefixed with such, matching the conventions of the other roads.
