I just found that I can waste the forcefield under LK with Fetch! I think I just got past the point I should be able to without registering! Now, if I could just figure out how to threaten Timon with it, I could be in buisiness...

In the mean time, I've got some other people I want to show my cool new talent...

Fetch a wine contract for you? I'll show you fetch...

Won't work on him. You can't complete the game without registering (its pretty much crippled this way).

I stopped using fetch after I lost the sword of heroes. I didn't save, so I managed to get it later, but the point is Fetch is not an all purpose miracle.

You're a dead goose without registering. I'd like to see you with enough power to take on 4 demons with a fetch spell. Or better yet, two scytlla.

------------------
Ah! Timon! You're dead!
No I'm not.
Yes you are! Just look!
Oh! So I am!

Scylla are nothing! I often go back and forth, killing them for experience. I just bought myself a new house in Cademia, and decorated it with permanent decorations. Thanks Slayer (I got to your site)! Now I've got to get a bed in there...

I know scylla are nothing! The point i was making was how many there were, how many fetch speels you would need, and how much mana that would be.
Its a ludicrous amount.


If I ever get a house/building (which I probably won't) I'm going to plaint the town red (with blood), and use corpses for a carpet. Note: the dead titan and unicorn go in the largest and medium sized rooms respectively.

I mean, why buy a house? Why not just takae over Land kings hall?

You moved a bed into your house?! How did you manage that? I've only been able to move things I can lift.

Slayer, I didn't say that I DID move a bed in there. I said that it would be nice to get a bed into my house, but of course, we know that is impossible. At least I cleared out the cobwebs in the corner, though. Oh, by permanent decorations, I meant that the things I put in there will now actually stay, because they are stuck to the mesh or whatever.

Oops! Mistakes are made when I'm too tired to think straight.

The best version of fetch to use, when you're just pissed off at the world is the crystal ball. Nothings left standing (almost). Can you hang bloodstains and corpses on the walls?
Is there any way to get one of those green moose heads to mount on a wall?

------------------
Ah! Timon! You're dead!
No I'm not.
Yes you are! Just look!
Oh! So I am!

What do you mean, Crystal Ball? And what does a crystal ball have to do with fetch?

It was an earlier bug, that was fixed in 1.0.3
Basically. There was a chance (say 1 in 80) that the crystal ball (found in Alaric's room) would do something very wrong. This ranged from messing up the dialogue, teleporting you from inside to outside of a city, and completely and permanently destroying all things interactable in a city (at least, this only happened to me in cities). This means that levers, doors, window, secreetwalls, lamps, gates, stairs, traps, variations in tile sprites (cobwebs, shadows, broken walls, etc.) all disapear. The list is a lot larger than this, but luckily the people remain. Not that that really matters.
I related its effective way of making everything disapear to fetch's.

Life is a mind altering substance. It should be considered a drug and taken off the market. Any remaining life should be confiscated.
Note:
1 Life causes your brain to function and muscles to build. It therefore should be condsidered a steroid as well.
2 Once used, you cannot stop using life until you die. It is the most addictive drug out there (excepting pokemon).

Ah yes, but my way is (was) much more useful. You could vent your anger and still talk to the people.
But if you use fetch on Cademia, It will disappear along with the people.
Sorry I don't have a whole lot to say on the subject, but I assume I will soon.

Yeah, and some student quarters upstairs.
Is there a bed in the teacher's quarters?

Also, in Cademia, the people who sell food in the Commons live just to the south. They don't usually kick me out of their beds...

Finally, who do you talk to to buy a house? I have a lot of money...
Surprising what you can do with an older version of the game. Move that money, then take it, and NO ONE cares... Posted Image

Peace!

In Cademia, just north of the commons, there is a guy named Antenor. Ask him about the 'building.' You'd better have a LOT of money, though. The house costs 10,000 oboloi!

And no, there is not a bed in the empty professors quarters.

Hmmm... Who's quareters were those?
My guesses are Tavara or one of the Mages in some old text, or that the room is not quarters at all, but just the product of finding out that there is extra space in the building.
