However, when I saw the name change and then that I didn't change over at 151 posts, I realized he had created a special class, which could mean that he had set it to remain like that for the next 6000 posts, and suddenly it wasn't so funny anymore... [smiley=scared.gif]
Luckily it seems that Don knows I would have tracked him down and... let's just say I think he's read the "other games" forums, and knows how mean I can get when playing RPG's... <_< [smiley=indie.gif]
Still, I would have loved to see what he came up with with the "manure heap attendant". : I was particularly wondering what he would have used as an icon for that... a spade with some of Shadow's favourite item in it? :-?
Posted by: Camaroboy Posted on: Today at 12:31am Hey Traveler, now that you have managed two small hats rather than the plunger over your head please come back to the AG discussion boards if you have the time. I really do miss you there.
Hi CB, sorry that I've been neglecting my AG's. Well, after Fnord's "unfinished games" thread, I got a bit scared when I saw how many unfinished games I have sitting on my hard drive, and so i decided to finish Mass Effect, which is apparently quite short. However, see my post about it in "other games". :'(
So I guess I'll give up and go back to Whispered World and yes, those Tex Murphy games have been enticing me for a long time.
Catch you there!
PS> CB, are there any games you'd like some company in playing? I also got the GOG deal with Tex Murphy, and I also have BM 2. I think I'd prefer TM to BM2; though I really should concentrate on finishing WW.

Hey Trav, you're supposed to deliver those magical acorns to the Dryads in Windspear Hills, not wear them on your head.
Although I must say, they're a lot more becoming than the mages plunger cap.
Cheers, Terry

Thanks Terry.
Btw, I think I should just reconcile myself to never throwing off the plunger image. Perhaps I should just put a bunch in my sig and get it over and done with. [smiley=silly.gif]
Anyway, as long as people are having fun, that's a good thing I guess... :-X

Athough the acorns are quite fetching on your cute elven head, if you give them to the Dryad Queen, she will reward you with 32,000 XP, which should allow you to level-up and increase your plumbing skills.
You can also grab a nice Helm of Glory back in Athkatla to cover the horns.
Cheers, Terry

[smiley=laughing.gif] Gee, thanks - what kind of toilet or sewer can I aspire to then? Can I clean the king's toilet then, can I can I? [smiley=hyper.gif] [smiley=hyper.gif]
No doubt the staff around here would change the Helm of Glory to a chamber potty or the likes... :-/

Well, you could always descend below the sewers beneath the Temple District and tackle the Cult of the Unseeing Eye quest with your awesome, new plumbing skills.
If you bring a certain key from the jailor Tazok just above Firkraag's lair in Windspear Hills, there's also a secret passage to a small army of Mind Flayers down there. If you manage to defeat them all, there is a very special item called the Hammer of Thunderbolts in a cauldron. Along with two other special items and a secret scroll, it can be used by a blacksmith in the Docks area to forge the legendary Crom Faeyr... BEST WEAPON in all the land of Amn!
Cheers, Terry

[smiley=laughing.gif] [smiley=zombie.gif]
Anyway, since there are a myriad of sewers in games, actually, the 2 of you have now given me an idea... :

Ooh, Caroline has already said that she finds plungers useful in the fight against chocolate addiction... [smiley=whistle.gif]

That's nice. She admitted that the "melted-chocolate-in-bed" thing had gotten out of hand.
