@phoenixfighter09 that's definitely intentional.
Were it possible within the DM, she would have been "neutral", in the sense that she should be trying to destroy everyone and everything in the room, so this is another case of "doing the best we can within the limitations of the tool".

Tips for fighting her: don't.

Not that far in yet but I've found a decently sized bug, and I don't mean the spiders. In the Credenhill tower I triggered Nezbal's 'distraction' but she's on the hostiles team and attempting to murder me through a wall. Might want to tag her as friendly unless that's intentional and she would try to kill you after asking for your help.

Finished last week and just want to say - GREAT JOB! Really well done on the plot line, custom monsters, pathing for different endings, dialog, etc.. Absolutely loved the campaign!
CallMeBlue 20 Aug @ 2:40pm 
Hmm. OK, I'll look around there some more. Thanks!
Frattaglia  [author] 19 Aug @ 5:20am 
@CallMeBlue have you confronted your Doubts in the section about the nature of the soul? There should be a chest there with a surprise that avances the main quest
CallMeBlue 18 Aug @ 3:25pm 
Hidden library: been all the way to the bottom and back out, and got all the other books, but did not find Advanced Golemizing. Coincidentally, in the Halfling Lit section there is a bugged chest with "unknown content" that I can't access even while standing right next to it. Could that be the location?
Frattaglia  [author] 17 Aug @ 10:23am 
@TaraTara ah yes. That's the first level, doors open after you find 2 buttons beyond elementals whirlpools
TaraTara 17 Aug @ 8:01am 
Ok figured it out. The cape lets you talk to the fire elemental and can get him to move.
TaraTara 17 Aug @ 7:56am 
Ok, so I have the Blessed Asbestos Cap. Not sure what to do with it? I'm not sure what level Im on. And I cant really see past the locked door
Frattaglia  [author] 17 Aug @ 6:07am 
@TaraTara the hidden library is full of elementals and locked doors... Which level are you exploring? What can you see around the doors?
Ossie1972 17 Aug @ 2:00am 
@TaraTara check your inventory. You may have picked up an item that wasn't what you thought
TaraTara 16 Aug @ 10:32am 
Hey, I am stuck at the library looking for the Advanced Golemizing book and the book for the main quest. I assume its behind the locked door near the elementals, but I am unsure how to open it.
SirTorgus 12 Aug @ 5:14pm 
NVM - I figured it out using the color coded cypher - nice!
SirTorgus 12 Aug @ 5:06pm 
Stuck in Dragonspear Castle - can't find the 3rd key - assuming it's in the locked box that requires a 4 digit code and have no idea where to find the 4 digit code... think I cleared everything including all of Nezbal's 'children' dragons...
Ossie1972 7 Aug @ 4:23pm 
@Frattaglia - ahhh - so that sewer grill opens up after you first get refused at the main gate, and once you trigger one of the two ways to get inside the main gate, it closes again?
Frattaglia  [author] 7 Aug @ 2:14am 
@nadavi that's correct, the entrance is not the exit. There is a button in the room where you find Margarethe, at the back, it opens the last set of doors in the main room.

@Ossie1972 raccoons are not fond of jumping into sewers if they can avoid. The option to use the sewers opens up after you are first bounced at the main doors. Yes, the "secondary entrance" is actually the demons' cesspool. I wouldn't want to wade in that, too...
Ossie1972 6 Aug @ 4:17pm 
@nadavi I remember this - from memory the exit is there but no icon on the map. Try checking both where you entered, and the "end" of the dungeon where the quest resolved. You should find a spot where the cursor changes to the gear wheel, even if not marked
nadavi 6 Aug @ 1:51pm 
I can't get out from the tomb of thalorel
The "Save Margarethe!" objective is marked as completed, and now it says I need to "Return to Dean Proudbeard," but I'm still stuck inside the dungeon with no way to exit or fast travel out.
What can I do?
Ossie1972 4 Aug @ 4:28am 
@Frattaglia hmmm. I found the vent but it wasn't active, the obelisk next to it simply said (paraphrase) "We don't want to go in there". Unless there's another vent somewhere - this one was just outside the SE corner of the town walls
Frattaglia  [author] 4 Aug @ 12:11am 
@Ossie1972 well yes, but actually no dealing with the devils lets you in from the main doors, there is a third way to access the fortress via the good old sewers, it lets you bypass that part but the demons inside aggro on sight. The entrance is not obvious, outside the town walls
Ossie1972 3 Aug @ 4:18pm 
@Frattaglia do you mean if I had sided with the devils in the inn, there would have been a separate entrance? I ended up killing them & satisfying the gatekeeper, so I entered through that main entrance
Frattaglia  [author] 3 Aug @ 5:22am 
@Ossie1972 if you mean the Vaelshadow fortress, that is just a secondary entry you could have used to access the area, you lost nothing of relevance.
Glad you enjoyed, thank you
Ossie1972 2 Aug @ 4:29pm 
Finished! Enjoyed this one a lot - thanks. Final comment is in the final palace, I could never get past the locked door in the east corridor off the entry. There was also another dungeon entrance right up in the far northeast of the palace level map, which I could never get to
Frattaglia  [author] 2 Aug @ 4:41am 
@Ossie1972 Ok that's WAI, but you raise a fair point. I added a bit more banter to the Concordants and a line about taking the book very quietly to make it sound more reasonable

@Rosy/Darsio found and squished in v 1.23

thank you guys :steamthumbsup:
Ossie1972 1 Aug @ 4:19pm 
@Frattaglia the guards did let me through after the relevant dialogue options - that part worked. I just figured I'd trigger some of them anyway at some point - I mean I just lifted the book right in front of the Master Archivist and walked out with it!
Frattaglia  [author] 1 Aug @ 6:37am 
@Ossie1972 Uhm the Archives can be beaten without a fight, but you should be made aware that the guards let you through. I'll check when I'll have time.
Do you remember if you did something unusual? Like, all the PCs were flying, invisible...?
Ossie1972 31 Jul @ 11:56pm 
Also (sorry, you can't edit comments!) the Primed Shield available to buy in Port Buttercup doesn't have the prime mark on it, so it's easy to miss as a normal shield
Ossie1972 31 Jul @ 10:25pm 
One glitch I've found in the Iron Archives, there's a Concordant Lightpriest and the Concordant Master Archivist with speech bubbles but no dialogue. Also, was there supposed to be any battles in here? I just walked in, took the book, and left. Apart from the giant in the cells, no combat . No real problem - was a nice change - but surprised
Ossie1972 31 Jul @ 3:32am 
Goddamn I'm sure that gargantuan cock curse was supposed to be annoying, but every time it popped up it gave me a belly laugh. Well done @Frattaglia
Rosy/Darsio 30 Jul @ 2:36pm 
@Frattaglia Well last one I noticed was in hell. Near the pit with souls. There is a woden bridge where you can jump to the side but you are not able to climb up. That´s the place where I had to use misty step scroll on exactly 1 hex possible :D
Frattaglia  [author] 30 Jul @ 7:50am 
@Ossie1972, Rosy/Darsio thank you both, really appreciated.
If you find any nasty bug you want squished, feel free to drop a comment
Rosy/Darsio 30 Jul @ 2:53am 
So I just finished this scenario. And I have to say it was awesome. Storytelling was one of the best I have seen over 300 hours I have on this game. Personally encountered just like 3 bugs I was able to retrieve somehow (stucked on some place which needed misty step scroll etc.) Thank you for purple wolf, it was really something! :)
Ossie1972 29 Jul @ 11:32pm 
Also the code in Dragonspear Fortress - subtle. I only thought to look for something like that after the paper. Well done - enjoying this!
Ossie1972 23 Jul @ 11:01pm 
Just started this campaign, met my first swarm and I'm so impressed that my familiar's distract ability does not work on them - that's a wonderful little detail. Looking forward to getting deeper into it!
Frattaglia  [author] 25 Jun @ 11:04am 
@Kabüm hi, thank you for noticing. Not a bug, swarms are supposed to auto-hit but that is not possible in the DM so +50 is required.

Don't worry the cr-appropriate damage calculation already considers this (they deal way less damage than other monsters with equal cr).

Later on, you'll also find monsters that target saves, they too are made via eccessive to-hit
Kabüm 25 Jun @ 7:57am 
There's a small issue I've discovered while playing, the swarms of rats seem to have a +50 to hit. I assume it's supposed to be a +5 but that extra zero makes them real scary. I've encountered these +50 rats in the first encounter after heading to the High Tower through the sewers.
Macintot 24 Jun @ 9:39pm 
I'm enjoying the campaign, though I'm not sure "mid" is the right difficulty descriptor, considering I'm fighting modified Harassers and Kratshars at level 9. Had to check at one point to make sure I hadn't turned on cataclysm difficulty by mistake lol.
seangeno 24 Jun @ 3:29am 
Frattaglia Thanks. I'll Find it. I just feel like I'm missing something in the burnt forest. I'm looking forward to finishing it so I can start it again. Thanks for your great work.
Frattaglia  [author] 23 Jun @ 12:58am 
@seangeno hi I'm sorry it's not clear to me where you are stuck. The second chosen is not in the burnt forest but in a different area of the world map (tree ring). It is not accessible from the start, to reach it you should either convince the hunters - or the bear - to help you, or retrieve a letter on the body of the first chosen. Does this help?
seangeno 22 Jun @ 4:28pm 
I'm trying to deal with the second chosen in the burnt forest. can't get to an area south of the camp/exit area. 'no path to destination' have been all around perimeter . . .
Frattaglia  [author] 20 Jun @ 4:54am 
@USAF-GeneralMalaise thank you :steamthumbsup:

@Fonzosh This work with UB no problem, it also allows for bigger parties (it is designed for 4-men in any case). Max level is 16, you can reach 17 if you max out everything but at the very end.

As a TT player, most of the time I'd say the campaign is designed around a DM who's out for blood - which is pretty tame for a crpg. It becomes harder after lvl10
Fonzosh 20 Jun @ 12:57am 
Just wondering. I am just now in need for a new campaign.. Does this one work with unfinished business and does it go beyond lvl 16? I allways try to run on tabletop rules so I think it will be difficult enough.
USAF-GeneralMalaise 19 Jun @ 7:02am 
Amazing adventure! Thank you for taking the time to make it and fix the bug on the ship! Out of the dozens of player-made campaigns, this is right there at the top. Hope to see you in Solasta II :)
Frattaglia  [author] 16 Jun @ 8:03am 
@USAF-GeneralMalaise definitely not :steamfacepalm:
Fixed in 1.22
USAF-GeneralMalaise 16 Jun @ 4:13am 
@Frattaglia Before I do the battle again, Are the Atheus sailors on the ship supposed to turn hostile? I sleep, fight starts, I go to where the mini dragon is, and everyone turns against me. The navigator becomes unnamed and hostile as well. Thanks!
Frattaglia  [author] 9 Jun @ 2:05pm 
@vaagelund I guess it's this one: There is a small wooden hut just next to a small pond, near to the location of Sage Yasemi. The portal opens on the entrance as a door-like exit
vaagelund 9 Jun @ 10:22am 
Hey all....

I Have a problem in buttercup.... After talking to the mayor there should be 2 new poratls? But I can only find/see one in a house not far from the mayor?

Anyone know where the other one is?
Frattaglia  [author] 7 Jun @ 2:12am 
@LarryPo thank you, but beware there isn't a real option to side with Nezbal after dragonspear fortress.
In part because it means global genocide, and in part because it would have required a total rewrite of dragonspear, the wildlands and the end areas at least. For different reasons, these both were bridges too far.
seangeno 6 Jun @ 11:10pm 
Ah! right there in your excellent guide. I'll be using it. :steamthumbsup:
LarryPo 6 Jun @ 9:48pm 
Completed! And i started anoter one? for Nezbal this time!
