My second scenario for Blades of Avernum, titled Embers of Rebellion, is finally complete! The basic plot here is that you arrive in peaceful Yris Valley to deliver a strange package to the local Empire fort. However, you soon find that things aren't as peaceful as they seem...
The scenario is for parties level 10-15, and is rated Teen for language. But everyone should play it. Everyone!
Q: OMG THE TOWN BLEW UP!!! Can I prevent it?
A: No, you can't prevent it. It's part of the plot, don't worry.
Q: Where can I get graymold for Sorkeli?
A: Go find Helen on the east side of the Pearl Bridge, and complete her quest.
Q: I can't get rid of the corpse-recovery quest.
A: Yup, you can't. Sorry. The absolute max you can get is six.
Q: A woman in the ruins wants me to find her necklace, and I can't find it.
A: Look in the ruins of her house. Some of the debris piles will be searchable, and the necklace is in one of those piles.
Q: Why are so many things searchable?
A: Because BoA is buggy... you'll never need to search trees, so ignore them. At one point, you'll have to search a statue.
Q: The crazy magic archer keeps killing me!
A: The archer picks a single target, which it will keep striking unless it comes within two spaces of it. Keep your vulnerable targets close to the archer so they can't get sniped to death.
Q: Joshua keeps pushing all the crates into the water. What do I do?
A: Okay, it's really simple. He can only push crates into the water when he's next to them. Lure him away from the crates into melee.
Q: Was that a druid I saw at the end?
A: Yes, now move along.
