Penultima Campaign Log Session #005 [full log] Return of Mikaila 1 - The Edge of Nowhere (multiplayer module by Tom 'Magi' Smallwood) Thus 01 May 03 [modified 22 Aug 03] Host: Kris B. Characters: Nifft [fraz] human male rogue[2] Vilia Saathlynthrial [kristina b.] elven female paladin[2] [Unfortunately, an apparent glitch in the saved game during this session caused the Rescue Alisha quest in Nifft's journal to turn up as unfinished, even though it had been completed in Session #004. Therefore on 06 May 03 Session #006, fraz and Kris are forced to revert to an earlier saved game in order to replay the Alisha quest before thay are allowed to continue on with the Ancient Scrolls quest. All experience and treasure from the session below was lost.] [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] hahah! good to see you again! [fraz] Nifft : [Party] Hey, hey!

[kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] okay Nifft : [Party] i think that's what it may be Nifft : [Party] hang on a sec Nifft : [Party] brb [fraz] Nifft : [Party] i'm bak [fraz] Nifft : [Party] no change [fraz] Nifft : [Party] this is the nifft that was saved with the game [fraz] Nifft : [Party] the alisha quest is still incomplete Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] and still nothing huh? do you remember if it was 'resolved' last tuesday? [fraz] Nifft : [Party] and there's no mention in my journal of the other quest [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] the ring or cargo delivery? [fraz] Nifft : [Party] i'm positive that it was resolved [fraz] Nifft : [Party] no, those quests are complete [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] oh gotcha. [fraz] Nifft : [Party] the newer one is gone [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] the get scrolls quest is not there? maybe if we head back to town and speak with alisha's mom it'll rectify that?

[fraz] Nifft : [Party] use your autofollow wand to follow me [fraz] Nifft : [Party] it's fuN! [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] ok! [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] it's teh r0x0rs [fraz] Nifft : [Party] heh! [fraz] Nifft : [Party] ready? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] ok ok, back into role playing mode. Yup, I'm ready! Nifft : [Party] oops Nifft : [Party] wrong way Dodger: [Talk] Dodger wags his tail Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] Thanks for all your efforts. Nifft: [Talk] Is there anything else we can do for you? Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] That depends. Can I trust you? Nifft: [Talk] Yes, you can. Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] I guess I don't have much choice, do I? First off, I should tell you why I originally came to Woodfork. I am a researcher and I'm looking for some scrolls that were in the possession of Melidor Carnen, a priest from my order. He secretly moved out to this area some 500 years ago. From what I can tell, the scrolls may lead to an ancient fortress containing powerful magic. Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] Since coming here, I have learned he settled in Karna. It is possible that the scrolls are still there and I think that is what the orcs were after. Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] I explored the area years ago and I found the basement of the old temple still intact, but the vault was sealed by three doors, each requiring a different key. Searching around, I managed to find one of the keys. I believe another is behind a magic trap in the temple that I could not get past. I have no idea where the third might be. Nifft: [Talk] Can we get in without the third key? Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] No, there is no way through without all three keys. Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] Thanks for all your efforts. Nifft: [Talk] Is there anything else we can do for you? Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] That depends. Can I trust you? Nifft: [Talk] Yes, you can.

Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] Thanks for all your efforts. Nifft : [Party] grrrr [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] still nothing? Nifft : [Party] this doesn't look good Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] Thanks for all your efforts. Nifft : [Party] the conversation looks the same... but it's not triggering any quests for me [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] strange... Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] Thanks for all your efforts. Nifft : [Party] indeed [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] Is there anything else we can do for you? Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] That depends. Can I trust you? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] Yes, you can. Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] I guess I don't have much choice, do I?

[kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] Can we get in without the third key? Maneta Dy'nesles: [Talk] No, there is no way through without all three keys. Nifft : [Party] you already have the key right... or is it gone now, since i think we used it down there didn't we? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] well, we don't have to play tonight... I may be able to create a DM character on Tuesday and just give you those quests? Nifft : [Party] hmmmm [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] you're right, I did use that key in the temple. Nifft : [Party] i'm not sure it'll work like that Nifft : [Party] is alisha running around out there? Alisha Dy'nesles: [Talk] Are you trying to catch butterflies too? Nifft: [Talk] Sure, why not? How do you do it? Alisha Dy'nesles: [Talk] Just run over to one, and then just cup your hands around it. Nifft: [Talk] Ok, I'll give it a try. Nifft : [Party] chasing butterflies Alisha Dy'nesles: [Talk] Alisha laughs! Nifft : [Party] hmmmm [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] you're such a big softie nifft! Nifft : [Party] heh Dodger: [Talk] Dodger licks your face Nifft : [Party] uhm... i have to ask [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] sure! what? Nifft : [Party] are you sure you loaded in the correct/most recent saved game? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] 98% sure. it's that pesky 2% that could make me into a fool. Nifft : [Party] heh [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] I can try to load it again, and double check the time stamps Nifft : [Party] if you don't mind... Nifft : [Party] that would be cool [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Party] not at all. Ill do it in 5.. 4... 3... Nifft : [Party] ok!

[kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] any luck? if not, there is an earlier saved game that was just before we went into the lower levels. maybe thatone would work? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] Yes I did, and I am 100% sure this is the latest. [fraz] Nifft: [Talk] huh... [fraz] Nifft: [Talk] i wonder why this is screwed up? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] i dunno, right now the cold medicine is slowing my brain down by 50%... so nothing is coming to mind.

[fraz] Nifft : [Party] well, i guess we need to do all this over again? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] when i save games, I title them something relevant to where we're at in the game, thisone is titled, "saved alisha, get scrolls" [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] the 'latest one' was "get scrolls, second level dungeon" [fraz] Nifft : [Party] uh, really? [fraz] Nifft : [Party] so the alisha quest is done in this one too, you mean? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] Yeah, and I know i have the right character too, because I have all my healing potions with me. And yes, the alisha quest is done in this one too. [fraz] Nifft : [Party] damn [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] I have saved games from before we saved her, but that'll more or less nix everything we did on Tuesday night. [fraz] Nifft : [Party] i'm checking off the nifft versions that are supposedly saved with the game... yet i'm not getting the right char [fraz] Nifft : [Party] what lvl are you? [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] 2 [fraz] Nifft : [Party] i'm only 1st [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] weird. very very weird.

[kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] I'll read up more on the DM stuff too... maybe there's some way to grant a character XP and levels ad hoc. [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] hehe thanks. I'm afraid i gave it to piggy too. poor swine. [fraz] Nifft : [Party] wellm there are ways to give chars xp and stuff [fraz] Nifft : [Party] but i don't think you can give complete quests [fraz] Nifft : [Party] if you know what i mean [kristinaboyer] Vilia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] aaah.
