Death in Bordertown
Death in Bordertown
Was looking for "Lilith" information and came across some bad news.
Many days ago, I was in Bordertown, and the guy, way over on the right, by the boats/water got killed.
The blacksmith and shopkeeper are ok...
It said to "not let any of these NPC's get killed"...
Have I messed up the whole game, or just a side quest...
thanks

Re: Death in Bordertown
Nah, you'll be fine. He's just offering a side quest. Pity he died, but you'll be able to continue. Lilith lives on the map south of Bordertown. To get to her map, head south-west of Bordertown itself, ad you'll find a little path heading into the map to the south.

Hi...was it a good quest??
I already got the Amulet... Just killed the Hive Queen.
Now for the good sword...
thanks...

Re: Death in Bordertown
The quest wasn't super good. You just had to kill all of the fungal slimes in the region east of Bordertown. I don't remember how much the reward was.
Sorry, no tips for killing the queen, though I imagine invisibility potions would work well. I did lure the queen back to the kegs once.
Just so you know, the Repository has no monsters (unless you try to steal from a vault that isn't yours), so if you want that good sword, go get it.

Re: Death in Bordertown
I thought I read that there was some kind of "eye" monster...or some such.
The sword belongs to Lilith...so doesn't that mean monsters...I'll probably know soon as that's where I'm heading....

Re: Death in Bordertown
There is a Dimensional Eye, which shoots plasma at you. Only if you get caught stealing from a vault that isn't yours though. If you have Lilith's key, Lilith's vault is yours.
Just note that if you choose to give the bandits Lilith's key after you take the sword, they'll come back and find you.

Actually they will be resurrected, and they will come back more than once.Vroqren wrote:

Re: Death in Bordertown
I've played through Book I a dozen times, but I never figured out how to trigger this. I've killed the vault keeper and all his guards, but the Dimensional Eyes just keep hanging out in their sealed enclosure.Vroqren wrote:There is a Dimensional Eye, which shoots plasma at you.

Re: Death in Bordertown
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure. I know I've gotten trapped in their before though. It takes your armor away, so that even if you manage to kill the eyes, you can't go anywhere from there. That's if I recall anyway. Did you try opening vaults you didn't have the keys to?

Re: Death in Bordertown
Been a while. I can't remember how I got zapped into the Eye Cage. Otherwise, with key(s) take what you want. Can't recall if you can kill the Eye thing while standing outside. I seem to recall you can't.

Re: Death in Bordertown
If you have the key to Lilith's vault, you can open it with no danger. The danger is something to do with talking with the gate guards and saying the wrong thing.

Re: Death in Bordertown
The only way out of that area is if you have the Portal spell and have set up a point in advance.

Ah! That jogs my memory! Thanks. I believe I had the Portal spell and level 1 destination at the time.Prismatic Maelstrom wrote:If you talk to the Vault Master and don't present him with a 'Vault Passkey' you are stripped naked and thrown into a filthy dungeon cell with two Dimensional Eyes. You are not suppose to survive the encounter as there is no exit and no way to get in.
What I can't recall is if you do get out and go back with a key, do you get your armor and stuff back? (after killing the guards and gatekeeper of course.

Re: Death in Bordertown
Nope, the stuff taken from you is gone for good. You have to leave all your stuff outside and then get thrown in with the eyes in order to get your stuff back when you Portal out.Dragonlady wrote:Ah!

Re: Death in Bordertown
If I recall correctly, the "Portal can't be used on this map" flag wasn't introduced until Book II. Which is why you're able to Portal out of the Destroyer fight and heal up :) I actually kind of like this, since I feel the flag was overused in Book II.
