Hello all,

I was gone for a while so I was at 1.66, so the only clear way I saw to get to 1.67 was to upgrade to 1.68 then revert.

I am following all the bioware instructions and it does not seem to be working.

I extracted it into the NWN folder, but when the update program runs, it check the internet, says I have 1.68 and am good to go.

Any tricks that anyone knows to get the revert file to work??

Wondering,
Curtis

Glenn,

Curtis will miss you!!  Too bad, too, that Malar whip for Silool is in the Fort Hope house waiting for HER to come back from whereever SHE has wandered off to.

Anyway, we talked lot about your issue today (as many of us that play together, work together), and I hope you can rest, reflect, and come back! Your bow backed us up many times, very well!

Be well!

This game got into the American Embassy in Oman where I was stationed for a while and it was incredibly addicting, there would be 3 or 4 of us "flying" at a time, my top score was 3300 something, but the Air Force, of course, guy's was 4400 or something like that.

I had to physically steer my mouse away from that link to avoid missing Layo time playing crazy copter!!

Prothro,

My little friend, I would be willing to go mining with you, make you some iron arrowheads and only take 60% of the gold, because I know you are a good and trusted friend to have around.

Look for me anytime.

Trade and Market Hall / RE: Wanted: shield, belt, amulet
« on: March 04, 2006, 07:50:09 PM »
Pig,

The Crimson Shield can supply you with a Shield Amulet!!

We can also supply you with belts with level 2 resistances, (highest you can use), and that is a very good idea by the way....

I will talk to our makers and see if any are made now or can get them soonest.

Please see Kavil, Addison, myself, Esimon, Rodlin, or any of our other members, if you see them, and we can arrange this.

I am not promising it soonest, as I cannot make them personally, but I will do my best to ensure your request is filled.

Prize List for Curtis if I cannot attend:

46/48(make it a katana)/61/79/78/77/74/75/20/21/18/19/14/76/97

If that is not enough I am just unlucky and give me what is highest price.

Edited my choices (a little):

Also, please allow Kavil, Esimon, Riley, Dorax, Silool, Bob Copperhead, or Rodlin to pick up for me.

Thanks,
Curtis

Excellent,

SO Cumby (Cumbersome Slow Ox) VII has a much better chance of survival now!!

You will also be able to heal them easier, (for those...rare....NOT) times when they get beat on!!

General Discussion / RE: What D&D Character are you?
« on: February 27, 2006, 10:04:39 PM »
Chaotic Good Human Barbarian

Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.

Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.

Primary Class:
Barbarians live outside the 'civilized' They have tribal goverments, and are often nomads. What they may lack in refinement is balanced by there strength of individual character and ability to survive.


Hmm.. maybe I will try again!!

CNR Suggestions/Discussion / RE: a proposal for new musical instruments
« on: February 27, 2006, 07:23:26 AM »
These are all very cool and thought out suggestions, I gather CNR to help Silool in her instrument making, and it, right now, IS pretty repetitive.

I can't make any instruments, but would love to learn to play one, (play a jamming alto sax in real life)!!

Gotak,

I have met you a few times, tried to wake you up in Vale for the lottery, started the 2rd Orb Quest installment with you (//until you had to sleep in real life), and would love to offer my blade to help to fulfill your slayer oath.

I am now a junior weapon master, and would love to help if you think it possible.

Thanks,
Curtis

2/26/2006 (by Earth Reckoning)

Well, this journal was beginning to get very dusty, so had better tell the good news bad news story of my life recently.

Well bad news first I guess.  The Cunning Sword of the Odyssey (CSO) is no more.  The connection we had was so strong!!  It was devastating when he shattered.  I knew that he had been whacked on the silly oak tree in the Broken Forest a few times.  (The undead seem to appear right by that tree every time and often I hit that tree instead of THEM!!)  The killing blow, though, was truly honorable, actually.  I had taken a large group down into Haven to seek out the minerals and ore at the bottom of that mine.  I gave them all a detailed brief of how to fight in that potentially dangerous place, but a few did not listen and wandered back out into the middle of the room while I was mining the last spire of coal. (I love coal, but that is another story).  And BOOM!! more ogres appeared and began pounding on my relatively young fellow adventurers.  It was a little bit of a tough decision, coal, young ones, coal young ones...but of course I had to to rescue them.  So, turning away from the coal, I drew CSO and charged in.  BUT, somehow, I thought I was still mining, so I took one more swipe at the coal spire, WITH CSO, and he shattered in my hand.

SOBBING inwardly, I pulled my pick back out and rescued my party mates.  After we were safe back in the passageway I have been in so many times, I let it out!!  Sobbing openly, I broke down.  The news had JUST come to me that I would be able to pursue my chosen path and now I was without CSO....a very sad moment.

We worked our way out of the mine.  I took out my sadness out on the ogres as we went..that pick works as good on ogre's heads as it does on ore spires.  It split more than one of those heads open as we went out.

Arriving to the surface, I hired a FLOCK of birds to send out looking for a master weapon's maker.  Master Gloin finally sent me a bird back with a referral to a friend of his.  I quickly gathered the clay needed, made some large molds, smelted the iron I had just mined, and RAN to port hampshire.  There, a MASTER weapon's maker met me and, as I watched with awe, a new sword was formed for me.

A beautiful iron katana like my CSO, I turned it over and over in my hands.  It had the same balance and heft as CSO, but I wondered if it would ever be the same.  As the next few days passed, many on Mistone, many on Dregar with my future guild mates, many alone gathering the endless materials needed for my crafting skills, I began to like this new sword more and more.  We began to bond as strongly as CSO and I had.  Finally, I heard it's voice.  It whispered to me.  "Thank you for wielding me so well!"  "Because I am a newly forged sword, you are my first wielder, use me WELL!  My name is: Curtis's Sinuous Ossuary!"  

WOW!!  What a name, I had to look some of those words up in the common dictionary!!  I decided to shorten it to....CSO II.  I will have to look for Master Riley to enscribe this new name on the blade of this fine new blade.

Well, it must be time for the GOOD news.

After spending many straight hours seeking quests in this fine world, I was able to learn much of the happenings.  I have been helping to deal with a fine orb that a certain Daren found. For two weeks now, we have been looking to destroy it.  Also, I went to a large meeting in the Hotel Layonara and learned much about a legendary blade with three places to set crystals in it.  I helped to slay a few of the demon spiders that came to try and stop us from finding more clues in the mystery of this blade, and sat in awe of Reventage, Jet, Cole Norsemen, and many many other powerful characters in this fine world.

I was also able to help Miss Addison try to save her beloved village.  It was very challenging, and finally as we were escorting the villagers out to safety we saw him.. a blood sub-general, a big evil bug bear.  The few of us that were left to do escort duties, myself, Riley, Addison, and Ireth, stepped up and did our best.  My assigned task was to kill the bugbear mage.  I began to hack at him and suddenly a large hand appeared, turning every way I tried to attack from, keeping me away from the mage.  Finally, I broke through and cut him down.  By now, only the sub-general remained and the other three were bravely challenging him.  Just as I turned to attack him, I watched all three of the others fall to the ground.  Enraged, I struck a killing blow to the general, finally cutting him down.  With tears running down my face, I checked each of my fallen companions for signs of life.  They were all barely breathing and I broke out many of my always handy healing kits.  As I applied one to Riley, he sat up and lived again.  YES!! I went to each of the others and they were able to be awaken also!!  What a grand adventure!!  We also met a MASTER weapons master.  Addison is lucky enough to be training with him for many days to come.  I am sure she will emerge as a weapons master.

Well, with all this experience gained, I was able to finally, finally, become a budding weapons master.  It felt SOO good to learn new skills!!  I can now, once per day, strike a "KI" blow, doing maximum damage.  My focus in the katana is even better now!

To sum up, LIFE IS GOOD!

So, until later,
Curtis Simon Orcutt

GMs,

The two .. in a row.. that I did today were both VERY fun and well run.  Even with the 30 some people for the "meeting" quest, they handled it very well!!

Thanks,

General Discussion / RE: Char Dev Review for Brenden Raign
« on: February 22, 2006, 09:08:19 PM »
Brenden,

Looking good so far!!

Be careful of getting too close to one sword, as you can break them (as I did two days ago) and you will want to upgrade eventually to a new one (adamantium).

My only recommendation would be to talk about the feats you are gaining to follow the weapon master path, //using "in game" terminology.  Also, try to meet and talk to as many other weapon masters as possible!  //This would be like real world "training."

Enjoy, and hope to see you and train sometime, though I am probably the junior weapon master on the world. //Approved to take WM levels and will at 11 (SOON!)

Seek out Cole Norseman, Barion Firesteed, Jet, Isilme and other of the more senior weapon masters for advice and training.

Last tip, don't forget those 4 ranks of intimidate as you gain experience, Barion did and it cost him getting approved at level 9.

Link to my journal to save you the trouble, still have to enter the SAD story of my sword (The Cunning Sword of the Odessey) breaking and the new one's name!

Enjoy,

Hey!

There is a big bunch of us from Hawaii, but I will let them answer individually if they wish.

I am currently in Hawaii, until August or so, and play almost every night and during the day on Saturday.
