Let's play... #1: Hero Quest

[TCD]

Okay, let's do a EON and then I need a new screenie

[john4p]

Thanks for keeping the thread alive.

I have a new command for you: M (map).

In order to save movement points I just did EOM - so you can look if there are enemies in the room without entering it:



But since there was no enemy I entered after all:



Thorin has 4 movement points left now.

[TCD]

Then we just 'north' through it : NNNN

[john4p]

An orc attacks while searching for treasure:



But Thorin fully defends*:



(*Writing in present tense now for a more intense feel of action! )


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond's turn now. He rolled a 5.





What shall he do?


P.S. Updated 1st post with lists of commands and spells.

[john4p]

Thanks, rexsu. Thought this thread had already FAILED...

Thus I left my savestate at home and won't be able to continue until this evening.
(Tomorrow I'll take the savestate with me.)

[TCD]

Tell me about it...


Elrond moved thrice to the west:



He now has 2 movement points left.

What shall he do?

[mailman]

Tn

[john4p]

Welcome mailman!

N (north) is to the upper-right (the grim looking man). So this doesn't make sense.

Also T (treasure) can only be used at the end of a move (or at the very beginning).
And T doesn't cost a movement point. So you can move twice and then T.

Examples for possible moves:

WW (move twice straight ahead from Elrond's point of view => wouldn't make much sense because there is a blocked field afterwards)
WNT (enter second door and then search for treasure)
S (enter room => we need a new screenshot)
OM (open door & look at map in order to see what's behind the door => still 2 movement points left)
OWOM (open both doors & look at map in order to see what's behind the doors => still 1 movement point left)


P.S. The game doesn't allow Elrond to search his current area for treasure or hidden doors - so the area in which searching is allowed seems to be larger than just what we see in the isometric view. Should he enter one of those two doors I'm certain he is allowed to search there though.

[mailman]

EET then

[john4p]

You're trying to sabotage this thread? "EET" would move Elrond to where he was before - and he couldn't search there for treasure.

Okay, I've edited the pic to make the directions clearer:



Just remember: "The grim looking man is our northstar."

Did you mean "SST"?

[TCD]

Yes, I think he meant OSST

[john4p]

Okay, I believe so, too.
(Note you can omit the "O" if you plan to enter the room anyway, so "SST" is correct)

Another 50 coins for Elrond again:






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir's turn now. He rolled a 7:






In order to avoid directional confusions:




What shall our wizard do?

[TCD]

Let's follow Elrond : NNNWWWWT.

[john4p]

Good idea.

I know now why Elrond couldn't search in that area - it's because of the orc. Mithrandir couldn't search either:



Do you want to (F) finish his turn or do you want to (C) cast a spell against the orc?

Mithrandir's available spells:

Swift Wind
Tempest
Ball of Flame
Courage
Fire of Wrath
Heal Body
Pass through Rock
Rock Skin

[TCD]

Okay, cast a 'ball of flame' then.

[john4p]

The first kill in this game:



Gone he is:



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another orc retaliates by attacking our brave dwarven warrior:



Thorin can defend against the first strike, but then the orc hits him.
Thorin now only has 6 (out of 7) hitpoints left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan's turn. He rolled an 8:





Direction help:




What shall he do?
