Hi, AC. Q 1. I am wondering why there are certain areas that are labeled as "not yet playable" even though I am now a full subscriber. Does this have to do with my level of experience? A: No. They haven't been put into the game yet. Theoretically, they will be soon, depending on how long it takes the GM to write and test them. Q 2. I have also noticed that after making certain decisions in a conflict/combat situation, that the option on fleeing usually seems to mean that you won't be able to come back and fight that individual later. I am specifically talking about the priest that was beaten in the Cathedral, and the young guy at the Moon shore inn. I believe that is the name of the place. Will I be able to actually fight these conflicts some time in the future, or is that aspect of the adventure actually over. A: If there is not an option to abandon the adventure, you won't be able to go back. Use that abandon adventure option liberally when it is present instead of possibly making it to the end of the adventure, saving your game and never being able to play that one again short of restarting your character. If you need to identify an item, wait until you identify it to save your game. If it is an adventure where you can get any of several items at the end, keep trying for the one you want. Hint: To keep from playing the entire adventure again and again, save the game as close to the end of the adventure as you can. I am thinking particularly of the pumpkin adventure in Durnsig, but you won't have played that one yet, I guess. Just keep it in mind. Q 3. I am wondering how might a player go about earning/acquiring adventure tokens besides referring a friend. A: Some of the adventures pay tokens as a reward. Also, the GM is putting up all the proving grounds at some point. when he does, adventure tokens may also be available there. There is no way to outright buy them from someone. Q 4. I ran across an option to explore the area I believe I was in Central Tysa around the cathedral. However, they want you to enter a specific location/address. How do you go about doing this. I have ran across one person so far who gave me a street name and how many houses down the block she was, but that's about it. A: When someone gives you information on where to find them again, write it down. You can use a given street or name to find them. Talinus is not the only city with that explore option. I can think of two other adventures offhand where that particular explore function is needed. Q 5. I am wondering if there is an option for either joining up with other players during the game or engaging in battle with them. I see an option for "see other adventurers in this location", but after selecting it I just get the name and ability for each of them. A: As far as I know, the GM is not going to let other players battle each other. I believe that function is there because of the forthcoming Runeskin adventures, which will require Sryth to band together. We have never had a quest where all of our strength would be needed in a joint effort. This should be very interesting indeed. Q 6. This will be my final question for now at least. smile Is there a document describing the various levels of mastery for skills such as weaponry? I am talking about the levels of mastery such as novice. I don't know of any others because I haven't made it that far yet. smile I just want to know how many points each level will need before it is fulfilled/mastered. What effect does this have on my character's ability? A: In essence, these levels of mastery make your character better at a given skill. To keep from talking in generalities, I'll talk about the weaponry skills. For every 10 points, you move up a level, and your melee rating improves by one. Let's say you've got level 30 in Weaponry and Weaponry: Slashing, but only 10 in Weaponry: Hacking. You get the melee boosts from the weaponry and the slashing subskill. You will be stronger with the +4 melee blade of the fox than with a +4 melee axe because you're a better slasher than hacker. The documentation for Sryth may also be of some aid.
Does all this help? Betty: Mongwen on Sryth _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
