Heh.

I was coming back to the keep to rest, and rest was interrupted by assassins. "Help! The town's under attack!"

I thought it was a mid-adventure thing. Alright, I head to the town to save it. "Please go through this portal and close the summoning gate!"

Alright. Good. I hope I can get this done quick 'cause I'm almost out of spells. I beat the cult and close the gate.

The End.

SURPRISE!

I had no idea the end was coming.

Yeah - unfortunately that is it. This was made before some of the newer DLCs. And they did not update some of the class tags so that newer classes do not work. But you can start the war by going to your bedroom and interacting with your desk.

Have talked to mayor - only east entrance active.

Loving your stuff! (hope you're still around)
My party is stuck:
Paladin - Knight of the realm - done.
Ranger (Correct?) - Protector of the realm - done.
Both big fun.
Monk - no quest - understood (I think)
Warlock - << can't find quest >> - (basement?)
Then that'd be it until the final battle - correct?
Looking forward to the Maw.

So the step for "explore further" to resolve is to equip the weapon called light

That opens the way forward and then you can go fight the Lich

Not sure how the way forward opened without that?

In the quest ‘High Priest of the Realm’ Carman was killed/destroyed but the quest didn’t progress. Have explored all of the ‘Brood Lair’ but it’s still suck on ‘Explore Further’ even after going back to the quest giver. What is the solution? Have completed other quests/encounters since then so don’t want to go back to an old save even if I still have one. Was there anything worthwhile given for completing this quest?

@icarium_jag: I had intended it to be the last. But after seeing the launch I may juts have a look at that when it drops!

I hope you mean the last one for Solasta 1? Now that Solasta 2 with the Unreal engine is around the corner, can't wait for your installments on new dungeon maker :D

Thanks so much @Andreoid. Really glad you enjoyed this one. The Gaping Ma is my biggest and most complex campaign. Also the last one I will create. would love to know ho you get on

pbalfe, once again you have knocked it out of the park. This was such a great high level follow up to Against the Cult! Every single time I finish one of your campaigns I need to decompress from how good it was.

I am also learning some subtle tips and tricks for how to improve level and encounter design for my own tabletop D&D games.

I am extremely excited to start the next/last campaign. See you on the other side of the Gaping Maw!!

Ah. I have both a Warlock and a Wizard in the party. I used the desk. Thank-you for a fun series!

Warlock should be the same as magic users from the wizard in the basement?

I could not find a character quest for Warlock?

If you have done 4 character quests - then go to your room in the castle and rest. It should progress. If not - you can activate it by interacting with your desk in your rooms

What now? I've done all the initial quests and am waiting for a big fight. It was supposed to be in a week, but I'm sitting around on Day 14. Mayor says come back later. How do I kick this off?

@Charles_watkins - did you go up to your rooms in your castle? You can rest there any time

Well, I just got started and can't find a place to rest. Looked all over town. I rescued the hostages and saw Henry, but still no campfire. I'm out of dice and have only a few slots left, so I'm only good for one more major battle. Where to?

good adventure! The paladin q is a little too unclear, like what area it is, and the spell test is not at all clear, but these are pretty much the only problems, and I do LOVE high level sequels

@pfworks: In your room you can progress the quest at the table

So I finished my four class quests, and I do my short rest to advance the plot... Not only does nothing happen, the exit to the room no longer exists either. How do I finish this game?

OK so the ones that I have in the quest log are: AID; BLESS; HEROISM and SHIELD. The should be cast via your abilities. Can you check this?
For your other point: what quest is this?

I mean : no spells are castable on him.
Plus : the teleporter in the little cabin doesn't work, i didn't found the ranger anywhere neither acces to the Brood lair.

Hi! I'm stuck at the paladin's quest like Oltex was (p18-17) but the solution he found doesn't work anymore when you must use divine power on the "deity"
Any help please ?

@eod_dad: The magic user in the basement will give one

Enjoyed both modules. Never found a quest for the sorcerer class, did I miss it?

Appreciate your help though. Awesome work with these campaigns by the way.

We found them after all. Turns out the merchant in the temple in Baile Foraise was hoarding them. Apparently once things got dire enough they decided to pull them out of hiding and offered 5 of them to us at once.

Hi @QuestionsAbound: I have added in some now in the latest version and I just updated the campaign. One is in the basement on the book table. The merchant there should also sell them now. There is also one more in the bookshelves in your bedroom on the first floor

We've checked the merchants in the castle, around town, and in the temple and still have yet to locate one. Do the merchants generate their stock randomly or are certain things supposed to be guaranteed to show up in their stores? As of right now one of our characters is stuck at 12th lvl due to a full spell book while everyone else has reached 14th lvl. Appreciate your help with this in anycase. Maybe we just have terrible rng.

And the wizard in the basement sells one I recall

They can be random drops and also general store vendors sell them

Is there anywhere we can purchase a spell book if we forgot to pick up a second one from the last campaign?

Hi @Dr Gong,

Prepare for war will continue when you have completed the 4 class quests. Or you can advance it by going to your table in your rooms in the castle. But this will bring you towards then end game. For the sorcerer quest :
Talk to Matthew
Travel to North Torc Woods
Look for Rune Magic (follow the blue squares)
Continue onwards
Activate the rune on the pedestal beside the hut - this activates the portal
Go in to the portal.

great stuff, however I'm stuck on two quests, first I'm already at day 8 and the war of the reptile god 'prepare for war' quest hasn't done anything. I'm also stuck on thaumaturge of the realm quest; I've got to continue onwards part and found the abandoned hut but the teleport circle does nothing.
Cheers

There seems to be a bug, where i don't get any quests (after the first main one of preparing for the grand battle).
The mayor in Baile foraise talks about going West and helping a neighbouring town, but there is no quest for it, and no way to go west from the city (not even by the "western exit"). The orc leader lady talks about a test of acrobatics, vitality and strength, but again no quest, and it is impossible to give her the flowers. I tried another user made campaign, and there i get the quests without issue.

Is there something i messed up in the beginning?

I'd really love for it to work. The previous adventure was super good, and i have the same characters from there brought over for continuity!

Nice end to the series! Really enjoyed this adventure, now for Depth of Darkness and hopefully we'll soon see your new level 1-16 level campaign in the not-too-distant future!

OK! I see what happened there - but not sure how! Part of the quest in the Brood Lair has a hidden door with a DC of 30. At the quest step: "Explore further- We must find a way to reach Carman and eradicate her evil" you need to equip the mace 'Light' this will then reveal the doors. I suspect that you rolled well and were able to beat the DC of the hidden door and went through and completed. Bad design by me I think as there is no way in the dungeon maker to have a hidden door 'locked'. So if you have a save before that then that might be the way to go. I think I have to go back and fix that with just a locked door.

Sure thing! My username/tag in Discord is Wildpants420#4771.

Dang - could you maybe send me your save? Are you on Discord by any chance?

The quest log says "Explore further- We must find a way to reach Carman and eradicate her evil" so it doesn't seem to recognize that I killed the Lich.

What does the quest log say?

@pbalfe Thanks for getting back to me! I picked up the ring and tried dropping it and picking it up again but it does not seem to work unfortunately. When I speak to Ard Papa he says "Please- hurry to the lair and confront the evil there and the quest still just says "explore further". I have a ranger/cleric multiclass so maybe there is something there that is messing it up?

@Wildpants420: It is a cleric class you are playing for that quest? Some of the newer classes can pick it up - but I had coded responses only from the Cleric class.
Sometimes the kill of Carman does not always work so I added in a Ring of Eternal Life as well that when picked up will progress the quest. It is in the chest in Carmans lair. The quest for either of them should update and say:
Return to Ard Papa. What does your say?

Hey! Loving the campaign :). I seem to be stuck on the cleric quest tho. I get the quest update where it says to "explore further" but I killed the lich + minotaurs and looted everything I can find and exited from the blue square. Is there something I missed or do you think it bugged out? The head priest just tells me to go back and kill the lich when I talk to him.

Hey @Mickemann666: I am progressing on well! 47 locations mostly designed. It will be from level 1 to 16 and is pretty much a mega dungeon. I am already play-testing the earlier levels and writing dialog and quests and scripts for the later levels. I think I am still a couple of months off the first release. Honestly - play testing is the biggest challenge and time sink for me right now.

I know you where working on a new adventure/campaign and it was supposed to be finished this summer how goes it?

And many thanks to you for taking the time to let me know!

Ah yes, it worked and we were able to finish the campain.

Many thanks for your awsome adventures :)

Hi Tsaritsa - there is a bug in the game that does not allow Monk specific tagged quests. So you can go to your room and interact with your desk and start the final battle

Hello ! My bf and me have played Depths of Darkness and Against the Cult, we loved it and love War of the Reptile God so far, but we seem to be stuck. Our group is composed of a Paladin, a Monk, a Rogue and a Sorcerer. We finished the following quests : Knight of the Realm, Spymaster of the Realm and Thaumaturge of the Realm. We didn't get any quest for the monk but reading the comments it seems this may be normal. Now it's been 8 days in-game and we don't know how to trigger the War of the Reptile God quest or if it's supposed to start after the end of the week.
