On my trip to Rhudaur

[Ian]

For one, black star keys don't seem to drop.  I spent ages going back and forth killing dark monks, and couldn't get one.  TheGreat says he spent longer and didn't get one.  In the end, Locke gave me one to get in.  They drop fine inside Rhudaur however.

Don't know why I can't search this.  No message regarding failure/success.  I CAN just walk through the wall though (to the thieves guild).

For some reason this key doesn't work.  DC keeps mentioning things to do with textblocks/spells/blah so I assume it's one of those.


Thought I'd hit upon the combat issue mentioned in previous posts when attacking in Rhudaur Center.  Combat automatically switches off.  However I could drag monsters into the bank (no toll charged), and kill them in there.  Locke popped in and discovered that TS (Rhudaur equivalent) is a shop, as are a lot of the surrounding rooms (can get a list with no items), hence the no combat.  No explanation for combat in the bank though.

I'm gonna try hanging and reconnecting to see if it freezes (as it has in the past after this or a similar combat issue).  Nope, must have been happening for a different reason.

Okay......

Anyway, can't believe I didn't notice this earlier but dark monks are non-hostile atm.  Assumedly because the alignment system isn't in yet, but it still seems weird that this should happen (since they should only be non-hostile to evils, and I would have assumed we are all neutral).

Wait a sec.  That DOESN'T explain why no combat.  Combat should be allowed in shops.  How the hell am I supposed to kill shopkeepers?

These shops are everywhere  :D
