Description
For centures it had been a dream, a project of a few bruiliant minds and craftsman working in near secrecy. But then thirty years ago the first airship was built. Since then the City of ARkon has commisioned a fleet of them. Now one has returned with news, a new land never before known to the people of Arkon.
You have just arrived in Arkon greatest city in the knwon world to seek your own gold and glory. Rumors are flying that an expedition is hiring adventurers as scouts for an expedition to an unknown land.
Sign on to the Airship Zephyr and embark on this the first of a series of airship centered adventures. Loosely inpired by the voyages of the princess ark and Final Fantasy II
CEP and CRAP are required the otehr two hakpacks are included in the .ZIP file.
Now updated to version 1.09 see readme for version info.
At last Version 1.13 is here I've aded many new areas and tweaked and fixed a lot of things. A new armor shop has been added to the startign city though it's still a work in progress you can make purchases.I toned down a couple of the major magic Items and also reworked some encounters.
Thanks again for quick reply. I had downloaded v 1.07 (yesterday) at the time the most updated. So does this mean I have to start again or when I download newer version, I can reload saved game and everything will be OK? As I had mentioned to another author. A big thank you for the time and effort put into this game for us players. We know you do it for free and are all eternally grateful. Without you guys (ie authors) we would not be playing. Cheers Eric

hmm ok manticores are still too hard i died 3 times fighting them. As far as potions Karl dows have infinate healing kits, i'll think about giving him more potions. Once you get to dasil however the cleric in the tmeple has infinate healing potions.

Ok this new update should fix most of that. I'm not sure which version you were using but I had already revamped all the water elementals in v1.07 I removed the spire you couldn't get into i decided not to use it. I redrew the polygon on the desert road outside dasil so it should be more visible. Melchior's shop should no longer have any epic items, and the sletons will no longer drop their crossbows. The manticors will now appear in numbers of 2-5 and difficulty was modified down to normal. Well that should help most of the issues you mentioned. I have only playtested with existing lvl 12-16 chars so I will try a new level 1 character Oh and i added an armor seller in the tavern.

OK restarted with 1st lvl levelled up to 13th lvl character. Very limited heavy armur (ONLY GNOME MAGNETIC ARMOUR and no shields) Thought Gnarl may have had something better but of course he did not so bought armour of thorns, this meant I was ac 17. So the water elementals were a bit tough especially in hardcore. Luckily I had +3 B. Sword and imp knockdown otherwise I would be dead. You could only buy one healing potion of each type from Gnarl but if you went back again after being somewhere else he had resupplied. Might be an idea to have infinite supply of potions. OK though got the eqpt from scorpiion chieftain which helped the shield though if I sold it would be about 450000 gold? OK at Dasil at the mo and have taken note of eqpt availble basically up to 7 figures in cost? Trying to enter ruins outside of town but can not. Skel archers respawn and eqch time drop their crossbows which are worth about 45000 gp each. The manticores were very tough 7 or 8 together and not being able to miss but ok killed them in the end. So back to Dasil and to find undead source. If it is entrance via buried tower as I have mentioned can not enter it. Journal entries are now available which is good but you seem to have not really checked out the game yourself. I wouldn't even think about doing Ch 2 yet until ch 1 has been sorted. The balance is not right between monsters and magical items. Some of the magical items I mentioned are for epic characters and the monsters on a mode average are 10xp for A 13TH lvl character.

Another thought. Many of us like a challenge and checking through my 12 -16 lvl pcs. They all seem pretty potent. It's up to you but why not give the option for players to start with no eqpt but "X" amount of gold. Has been used on The Bastard of Kosigan and The Dagons Teeth. Check into whatever system they used. But it's down tyo us as players I suppose. Just finished a game and was on ac 38 for an 11th lvl character armed to th teeth with some nasty eqpt as well. Maybe if you playtest again. Use a level up mod. I think they will give you the gold relevant to level and go through it that way. I think I'll prob do it this way as well and hopefully find good eqpt along the way.
