Help Omeluum Investigate the Parasite: Difference between revisions

It is possible to both acquire [[Tongue of Madness]] and [[Timmask Spores]] without entering the tower. For Timmask mushrooms, approaching them in turn based mode and picking up the spores before they dissapear works.Tongue of Madness can be bought from [[Derryth Bonecloak|Derryth]].

The tower is guarded by automated [[Arcane Cannon|Arcane Cannons]]. They are automatically hostile and will shoot at your characters whenever they're in sight-line and in range - there is a targeting indicator that will tell you this. Anything that breaks this line of sight indicator - i.e. solid obstacles, will effectively stop the attacks.  

As of the Early Access, automated defenses do not trigger a Turnbased combat encounter - rather, they will shoot and attack in real-time exploration mode as well. It is recommended that you consider turning on [[Turnbase Mode]] to make movement and controlling your party more manageable.   

If the player have access to flight (such as the [[Fly]] spell, or the [[Circle of the Moon|Circle of the Moon Druid's]] [[Wild Shape#Wild Shape: Dire Raven|Dire Raven form]]), they can completely bypass the need to restore the tower's power. However, this means they'll give up on 25 Experience and potentially [[Inspiration|Inspiration Points]] for the [[Guild Artisan]] background.  

This floor can only be accessed by the restored elevator, by flying, or by platforming on the exterior fungus on the south side of the tower. This is a level that contains all the mushrooms required for the quest. Once the quest items are obtained, all other actions at the tower is strictly option. Skip forward to the [[Help Omeluum investigate the parasite|Return to Omeluum]] section to finish the quest.   

The other notable items on this floor is the '''Threadbare Book''' containing the following phrase:   

The main floor can be access directly through the front door of the tower. Exploring this floor is completely optional as the player can go straight to the 2nd floor Greenhouse to complete the quest, or the 1st floor to restore power.  

This floor can only be accessed by the restored elevator or by flying. Upon arriving onto the floor, a dialogue will trigger with [[Bernard]], who is standing guard by the elevator along with a group of [[Animated Armour|Animated Armours]].   

Bernard speaks strictly in poetry, with the scattered lines found throughout the Arcane Tower serving as various command phrases for him. In the first meeting, if the player must have read [[The Roads to Darkness]] and responded with ''"Or art though friend, a rescue from my lonely wake?"'' to avoid having Bernard become hostile and attack. Successfully doing this grants the player 50 Experience points.   

** Failing this will result in the character being poisoned for 10 rounds. As this is an automatic save, there is no skill-check window and an opportunity to add modifiers to help pass it. However, as the player is likely not in combat when this happens, the consequences are limited. As the log currently does not show this save, at this point it's no possible to tell what the Difficulty Class of the save, nor if spells like [[Protection from Poison]] helps.
