Fifth Invasion

[Marlboro]

What I find curious is that /no/ adventurer managed to contact sages or wizards to have a scroll of teleportation made. I did suggest it to all riombaran adventurers 2-3 times now. They found books of daimon banishing, a portal stone....but no scrolls. So far.

Oh yeah, darn those lazy adventurers.

Hey! We've been working hard too

I found a keg of beer. Now I just need to figure out how to multiply them indefinitely so I can do stuff without ever having the rest or sleep.

My experienced adventurer on Beluaterra got himself killed by an undead champion just before the invasion. I did start another in Fronen, but I doubt he'll be of much use in this invasions. These books of Daimon banishing, are they found while gathering or do you need to kill champions/alphas for them?

My advy got beat up by one of the Nightfalls, so she got her recs and put a boot up his ass as a noble. Probably more efficient uses for a seasoned adventurer but I didn't want to spend the whole invasion searching for rare and riskies sixteen hours a day and finding maybe, maybe one item of a set. Also, never seen a wizard on BT. Not a one.

The faction exterminating books are found randomly, and it seems on a separate counter than the normal gathering.

I know this because I paid attention, and even though this was on Dwilight, and it was a Book of Monster Hunting, I am fairly confident that it works for Books of Daimon Banishing on Beluaterra.

I tried on Balanced and Boring, 16 hours. After the standard report on what happened each hour, at the very bottom, it says something like "You also find a .... blah blah blah..." And it is not included in the hours you spend.

It may be conincidence but a riombaran adventurer did find a book of daimon banishing in Avengmil /right/ after Nightfall of the south was defeated and killed/ressurrected/killedorvanished there.

Man...if only the Dream still gave adventurer characters free books.

* Artemesia wonders if Tom will run a promo campaign for his books by giving out a ton of scrolls and/or books to players' BT characters who preorder or something. Or the MacGuffin of solving the plot. Or the plothole to break out and enter the Fourth Wall.

So.... 127,000 CS in Zuhle.

Yup. Now that's an invasion.

[Heq]

Wait...Tom has a book that has pre-orders?

Damn American political season ruining my knowledge base.

He has a book that you can purchase right now, in fact there is a news post about it when you log in.

No. But the book reveals what the Soulforges are...

Forges...that...have something to do with souls...?

I wonder if we'll get to see appearances from actual faction leaders that appeared in-game. Like Tarchennan and Argent having a battle of fate as the Many face off against the daimons, the elders of the Netherworld intervening, lightning and thunder in the backdrop as the two evil powers collide in a battle of evil versus evil.

Or a scene in which many peasants give up their lives into the warm embracing light as Marta hums a melody that parts the black clouds in the sky, spreading a soft white radiance that becomes a searing bright light to the surrounding daimons waiting to breach the walls.

Ok, those didn't happen in the actual game, but you know what they say...

All fiction is equally true: That is, they are all, by definition, 0% true.

Overlord has only mentioned them in roughly every other message. How could anyone not know the term by now?
