Glurk should now be caught up with Squee and Issak in the codex

Insomnia:
Extra Folderol time:

Glurk We can get to scouring the catacombs then?

[Jamski]

Yeah, the fix is live too, so Ye Door of Closing doesn't seal you in forever

But, I'm off to watch HHGTTG in 30 minutes

[Kassiopeia]

Weeell, that's all good and well, I'll study and we can get cranking later tonight

I just did a little planning and, indeed, my monkey can get Dev Crit by level 36. I'll need three Great Strengths, I think. He'll also end up with resistance to just about every sort of energy possible. His crappy Dex keeps him from Mobility and other goodies like that, so I'll focus on dealing huge damage.

Including the thing with the portal and the certain item?

[Jamski]

Including them. I'm coming on as DM to fix people's packs and reward the dropped xp, ok?

In the Royal Catacombs, the black doodad monsters shred Verkin Arkinner but don't tear up Glurk, despite similar armor classes and soak/damage resistance (both favor Verkin if anything). They appeared to me to be the same monster or am I mistaken (as usual)?

[Jamski]

They're different versions of the same monster, that increase in level with the PC (IIRC in a range 18th-28th) Verkin must be spawning tougher versions as he's a higher level.

Yes, I was thinking of a BG PW, or at least the same terrain with different quests for a SP game. I would be tempted to leave some of the same items in the same/similar places to BG, but also to have different ones dropped by different people.
The haste boots would have to be loads harder to come by, for example.

[Jamski]

Nah, the haste ones would only give the BG haste effect

It's too bad you can't create boots with permanent expeditious retreat on them.

ACK!

Oh good, I was starting to think he was an overrated sissy and that Glurk was a stud

Erm... there's nothing stopping me from doing so. Make an OnEquipped script that applies +100% movement speed, and an OnUnequipped that removes that effect.

But right now I'm trying to script the first cutscene in BG where Gorion and the PC meet an armoured figure outside Candlekeep, and Gorion

Spoiler:

meets his death

-Jam

[duke o' york]

Hmmm. Yes. That would be interesting scripting. Er, good luck.

Although if I build him right, Glurk should be a stud. Thus, what should my build actually be?
