Ambushed while portaling (and portaling in far east)

#1 Post by registeringislame »

I got the staff and used portalling to Anor... the mage town, and somehow the orcs ambushed me enroute!

Seems slightly unrealistic.

Also, I use the same trick to get out of dungeons, go there on level 6 and leave the mage town and I'm outside. When I did this in the spider dungeon in the far east, it brought me back to some random place on the western outside map.

Also also, When I tried to leave the unremarkable cave it placed me on level 0 of the unremarkable cave. Leaving that took me to level -1! Using the portal trick saved me.

Ah yes the unremarkable cave is fixed

As for the ambush after the staff, that's normal, they laid down a magical teleporation redirection field! (and also because the ambush is needed by the game ;> )

I'll fix the portaling :/

It's not like the portal would take me to Minas Tirith. I was just going to prepare before the ambush, and got ambushed before I could.

Well, you don't really need to prepare before the ambush. It just kinda happens, and you only lose the staff. There isn't much you can do to stop it.

Although if you are somehow able to kill Ukruk, you'll get some special text. It looks like you're supposed to get an item of some sort, but that's never given in the code. Good luck with that though. He has 1500 HP, and has 70 resist for physical, mental, and spell!

I survived 10 or so rounds. Was able to get off at least three chain lightnings anyway.

This also happened to me, but without portaling (I was playing a Sun Paladin) : just walking up the original stairs gives the same symptom (negetive dungeon levels) and it's impossible to ever leave the cave again, or to go lower than the original level 1.
