Your war is over, but their war has just begun.
You are the last of the Dana'an, a group of rangers led by Finn Dana'an all but exterminated by the Empire. The war has taken everything from you, your home, your comrades, your beloved. Now you're left to carry on, ekeing out an existence smuggling with one of the few friends you have left, Capt. Reynolds. The past, however, will not stay behind you, and soon you will find yourself facing a terror, and a hero, reborn.
No expansions are needed, but Adonnay's Elven Weapons hak and Escimator's Handaxes will need to be in your override for all weapons to display correctly.
FEATURES:
-Extensive use of terrain. Explore, fight, and sneak your way through large, lushly detail exterior areas that fit together to form a continuous landscape. Trees, buildings, and fences provide cover from arrows and bolts; grass, brush, and canebreaks provide a place to hide.
-Epic battles, with dozens of combatants on either side. Combat is fast, chaotic, and often overwhelming. NPCs fight in squads using a specially-designed tactical AI. They can ambush, hit-and-run, call for reinforcements, and will rout when seriously wounded or when they lose their leader.
-Special 'chatbot' conversations. Haggle with merchants as you barter, or use diplomacy or intimidation to gain critical information in fully interactive conversations.
-Mixture of linear and sandbox-style play. Though the main plot is fairly linear, the player is always free to wander the landscape, exploring, trading, hunting, or simply getting into trouble.
DOES NOT FEATURE:
-Multiple choice conversations.
-Text-based romances.
-Companions.
-Multi-linear plots (not yet).

HI J.E. Thank you. There is no more Gwaliors on the map, only rabbits. I licked all the ground and used the tracking skill. Quest 20. Last entry: The battle has begun ... bloody conclusion.It seems I will have to advance using the console kicstart. Could you kindly provide me with the proper script ?

@mutato: what exactly does your journal say? (i.e. what number is before your "Vexed" quest text). The most likely issue is that a stray Gwalior is still on the map somewhere, and you need to finish it off. They tend to follow the retreaters back towards Cape Jessamine. It's also possible that the last Gwalior was killed while you were off in another area, in which cause you'll have to manually kickstart the conversation.

Very good work. I am stuck after the battle at Gwailor Hills. First wave defeated and no new entry in the journal. Talked to Desirée who welcomes and the reply is "nice shoes" and Pao Shifu stays overlooking and only says something like "catch you later". Went to Gwailor Rock and killed everybody. The same: nothing new happened. Loaded a saved game and waited for a second wave. Nothing. The plot doesn't advance. I healed Desirée and Pao during the battle. Must one of them die to trigger a new entry ? Thanks in advance.

I don't work with spellcasting at all, but it's possible some status effects, like reduced intelligence from drinking alcohol, might have gotten stuck somehow.

Well found a saved game from about 60 hours ago and I can cast spells but not now. Any ideas?
Posted by ericdoman at 2012-06-2011:54:10
Yep just called the retreat BUT my 2 Rgr, 5 Clr, 7 SLord, 2 Div Champ can not cast spells on himself except for healing spells. I can not buff up at all. I had been doing so but now nothing. When I cas t summon creature a "shadow" portrait appears below my character and has 0 hit pts. I can still use shocking weapon as storm lords feat but no other spells. When I am casting looks OK but nothing happens. Any ideas? have reloaded numerous other saves and it is the same. Without my spells it's end of game, sorry to say.

If you're in the Glissade quest, you need to keep fighting until the ERA fully retreats, just check your journal. I don't know anything about casting spells, I don't use them myself nor does the module actively change anything that might affect that.
Posted by ericdoman at 2012-06-2008:28:56
Encountered another problem. The Bayou or retaking that. Imps just keep coming and found out that the Lt Doyle is in the Bayou and at the Fort. Also I can use spells to heal myself but I can not cast spells on myself or summon creatures? Went to another game and I can cast spells?
Posted by ericdoman at 2012-06-1914:19:01
Yep got it, cheers.

Pao Shifu seems to be retreating. Use the retreat widget again to clear it.
