: That got me, too. Why would Fenris have Changelings
: guarding his house? This and the wolves had me
: thinking he had dealings with b'Y'laggo.
Perhaps. But then, what's b'Y'laggo doing messing around in the Untamed Lands? I thought all his followers were up in the Ermine.
: Scripting bug: If you slip past the Changeling blocking
: the path instead of taking the other path, he will
: follow Bear and kill him after you lose control.
: Fenris starts talking to your corpse, but doesn't get
: far before you see the loss screen.
Huh. They always turned away when I reached the bridge. Never followed me.
: What exactly did Fenris and Four Bear want with the
: amulet, anyway?
I dunno. Maybe they knew it stored memories, and thought they could find how to kill Cartuke with it? But like Kyrilla said, they couldn't use it.
: It was an evil place to make a stand, but Fosgarach
: Ruillick isn't? Wasn't it infested with undead ten
: years ago?
Good point. I was thinking that Fosgarach was somewhere that a signpost pointed to in Salvation, but you're right; that graveyard was called Fosgarach Rullick, or at least one big tomb in it was.
: Why were the ghosts attacking us? Ghosts, unlike the
: undead shoulld retain their minds. These ones aren't
: guarding anything, or at least they shouldn't be. Why
: don't they attack the undead with us?
The Ghosts were Kyrilla's illusions. "Some foul magic meant to trick us" says one of the warriors at the start of The Messenger.
: The level name bugged me too, as it forced me to change
: how I organize my films. The Baron uses the same
: mumblings as the previous Baron, but they don't make
: sense in this context. "I hate this old drafty
: place." Also, they don't match his voice. His
: camp was a single standing-room-only tent? When we
: meet the Baron, not only did his acting not carry any
: feeling of betrayal, the dialogue didn't make sense.
: He wouldn't ask why Fenris was fighting to delay his
: own trap, because the concept is ludicrous. He would
: have either known Fenris hadn't betrayed him, or not
: really thought in terms of him fighting his own trap.
Indeed. That made no sense.
: Why was Kyrilla trying to kill the Baron? She had no
: reason to think he had done anything to Kyrand. Why
: didn't the Baron know Kyrilla was his sister? The
: monologue for the Fiend seems to suggest that Kyrilla
: was with her family early on, and she's apparently
: younger than the Baron.
I don't think the Baron and Kyrilla are related. The Baron's daddy was Baron when Kyrand was alive and fighting Cartuke. As for why she was trying to kill the Baron - she wasn't. She was trying to use him against Fenris, because the Baron thought Fenris had betrayed Kyrand and was some evil bastard.
: Four Bear didn't give Kyrilla the amulet before, because
: he didn't realize who she was. Why he took it is
: another matter. Why was Kyrilla serving Cartuke
: anyway. She had to know he was her father's enemy.
I dunno... Cartuke seems to have told her that Four Bear and Fenris and ne'Ric were his enemied, and had betrayed him and killed him in battle. The Baron thought so too. Other people distrusted Fenris, and ne'Ric was dishonored for not saving him, so people in general seemed to look down on our heroes. I dunno why, but it seems to be common.
: Fenris isn't that tough. She could have just marched
: those brigands in and killed him.
I know. Like I said, "stop threatening to kill me and kill me already!"
: And another bug. While Kyrilla was talking to Fenris, the
: other Kyrilla re-appeared on the wall. Why couldn't I
: get on the wall? There seemed to be a ramp.
Heh, yeah. If Kyrilla doesn't move after teleporting, she teleports back. I suspect this was something to related to that.
: Bugs: I teleported Krilla in behind the forces waiting at
: the portal and was able to stand there zapping them
: without them noticing. Kyrilla kept teleporting back
: to the beginning of the level for no apparent reason.
See above.
: So what was the deal with the wasps? Kyrilla was making
: them attack, but how? This was brought up, but
: answered or even hinted at.
Perhaps she made the wasps think she was the Hive Mother, with her illusions and stuff.
: This was supposed to be hard? I beat the whole thing on
: Normal with one casualty. I couldn't figure out how to
: escape the magic lightning in the fiend.
You're not supposed to be able to escape it. You've just got to inflict enough damage on Cartuke before it kills you. Not an easy task on anything above Timid. I've only done it once.
