Description
On the seas of dust and silence, where dreams and memories entwine, therein the halls of wordless voices does Fate reveal her grand design. But those who see it cannot speak, and those who speak can never see, and to the doors of human hearts the hand of wisdom holds no key. So rise the armies of emotion, and all our histories rearrange. From northern skies a cloud approaches, aloft upon the winds of change.
This is the third module in the Prophet series, continuing where chapter 1 (Link) left off. You will begin the module on the elven skyship, flying to the desert city of Hierathanum. There, you will meet the mysterious Dream Weavers, who will reveal to you your dark destiny.
Version 1.0
NOTE: This module, unlike the prologue and chapter 1, requires CEP-2.3. It should be played in Hardcore difficulty or higher.
@ Baldecaran ** Spoiler potential from glitch discussion ** I wouldn't spend much effort trying to duplicate my "not dying" issue. I started a second character and teleported him into the museum right from start, did the statues and then went to the academy and this character did die. I have no idea what happened to my first character. When he goes to the Arena he takes normal damage, but stops at 1 HP...

@ Baldecaran SPOILERS The first time I left the plane of air via dying; but even after a reload I still stayed in the "flight" mode after leaving the plane via the portal. Later, I reloaded from an even earlier save (one before I ever entered the plane of air) and that time I never died, and everything seemed to work correctly. So to answer your question, I believe it was the dying part that caused the problem. Not sure about the plane of death thing. The fact that it worked perfectly twice in a row while in god mode suggests to me that maybe the fact that the PC is taking ability score damage is somehow making them unable to engage in the conversation properly. That's just a guess though. Maybe if it switched to cut-scene mode? One other bug to report - this one in part two - after capturing the Caliph (making him go into the box) when we left his area, all of the guards in the palace and in the city were "aggressive" towards us; I use quotes because while they were still showing as non-hostile, they'd follow us and attack but never seem to land a hit. I did use the Caliph's voice contraption to convince them that we were under his control before going out, but I guess they didn't buy it :b The bad thing is, since they were hostile it was impossible to get the gate guys to open the gate between the market and the palace sections.

Hi all, thanks for feedback and bug-finding. The Vault is indeed very slow in updating files; so much so that I think I will take down the temporary chapter 3 file location and use this time to fix these bugs. I'd really prefer it if the most loyal players had a smoother experience through the mod... As to the bugs - maybe they are related to PRC or something else in the override. But I'll go see. I finally have some more time to work on this again. *** SPOILERS *** snowdog: No, I was just wondering if you were using debug mode or something. It seems somehow the mod made you immortal so I'll have to track down why. shuurai: How did you leave the plane of air? Through the portal normally or by dying and falling from the sky? Either way, I think I just need to add a fail-safe trigger. BariTony, shuurai: As for the end conversation with Llarien, I just probably had a logic-hiccup somewhere. I'll look at this now. (Too bad the bug ruined what was supposed to be a poignant moment... Damn!)

SPOILERS Regarding the plane of death, what I was seeing was the my character would get stuck, and Llarian would stop too far behind to even start a conversation, and that would be it. Tried several times, and this happened every time. My workaround was to go into god mode; once I did that, the whole thing works perfectly; the conversation starts and completes just fine; Llarian takes the essence and does his thing. Tried twice just to be sure, and it worked both times.

SPOILERS!!! Baldecaran, I've gone back and tried the plane of death several times. The glitch with Llarien seems semi-reproducible. I would get one of three effects: 1) Conversation proceeds normally, Llarien leaves without taking the Life Essence, he dies and I end up stuck. 2) Conversation initiates, but doesn't progress after a certain point. The game is stuck in dialogue mode and neither Llarien or I can move. 3) Coversation proceeds normally, Llarien takes the essence of life, and successfully delivers it to the altar. Could you have more than one script running at this point? They might be getting into a race condition. That might explain why Llarien sometimes runs off before taking the essence.

@Baldecaran Part three is awesome. Did run into one annoying bug... after leaving the plane of air, my character and the elf are still "flying" - is there a command to stop that effect?

The vault is annoyingly slow approving Ch 3...
Posted by snowdog at 19:21:21 Voted9.75
****** Spoilers ******** Ch 3: Arena. No life essence. Make myself immortal? I did visit the good statues in the Museum. There was something about that, I thought it was metaphorical. I thought it was one resurrection. But I guess that is the issue. You do end up stuck if you pick the wrong weapons after visiting the museum. You can't be killed and you can't kill.

Yeah I did that, and could finish Chapter 2, though the Servile (or something like that) in the "Memories of ancient Herez" I think, not sure I remember the name correctly, did the same thing after leading me to the first room. I have an idea what might cause this though. I'm using PRC, do you think that could mess it up? I don't think it should, but dunno, that might be it. Anyway. already playing Chapter 3, totally awesome so far! :P One question. Is Theledassan supposed to drop the key to his private chambers?

*** SPOILERS - related to chapter 2 *** Temetappi: Thanks! I'm glad you like it. That bug has me perplexed and I've never seen it. I'll have to look into the toolset to track down what could possibly have caused both the speaker and Kurathan get stuck like that. Pity that these little extra touches sometimes cause so much trouble... But for now, do this: Turn on Debug Mode and teleport into the area called "Chantry - The Pit of Souls". Don't worry, it's a small area, without encounters, so you can just jump in anywhere. Then walk up to the pit (you can't miss it) and teleport the speaker close to the crank device that looks like a ship's wheel. Now turn off debug mode and go to the end of the plank and click on the rope. Things should continue fine from there (*crosses fingers*). Let me know if there's still a problem. *** SPOILERS - related to chapter 3 *** snowdog: Thanks for your help - It's much appreciated!! Dying in the Arena is indeed a way to progress. But I'm not sure why you were stuck at 1hp. Did you make yourself immortal? Did you have the "essence of life" with you? BariTony: The bit with Llarien getting stuck has me scratching my head. I'll try to check it out as soon as I have time, maybe this weekend. But I'm glad you liked the mod despite these glitches, and thanks for alerting me to them. As for uploading the page for chapter 3, I did that on the 16th but the Vault is experiencing technical difficulties. It seems new content is getting added but my page for chapter 3 is still pending. I'll post here when it's up.
