Is there a reason for the Xvart Village?

    [​IMG] Not that I don't enjoy wiping out a whole village of little annoying mosters, but is there a reason for it? Or just some evil butt kicking fun?

    "Attack!"

    I didn't mind killing the gnolls, or kobolds, or those ugly gibberlings but I always felt sorry for those little blue guys.
    :(


    They had a bracer in their cave right?
    Was it AC 7 or AC 8? I forget...

    I hate all of those small devils :)
    I hate the village even more, it's so darn much of those buggers there....

    The worst bit is where Nexlit the Xvart has the gall to claim that you attacked them first. Although you do seem to get loads of XP for killing their bear.

    What is a(n) Xvart anyway? And how do you pronounce it?

    It's just a little piece of massacre in the game. Try bloodwine ruins for more (and every second spammed kobolds).

    Where are these Bloodwine Ruins? It must be in a mod unless you meant the Firewine Ruins. That is full of kobolds, I have not seen any xvarts there.

    Xvarts are annoying little buggers. I tried playing a Bard and one of them killed me with one hit. HAd a grudge ever since, so I love that little village. Great slaughtery goodness.

    As if... "Fireball!" Heh heh... :D

    I find the bloody things to be the most pathetic monsters ever. I mean... little blue munchkins? Holy crap talk about fun times for Minsc.

    I had a Ranger in both my games and forgot to ever use the charm animal skill. :(

    That would be good at low level. A Bear helping out a level 1 or 2 party would be quite a boon.

    Does there have to be a reason?

    Could be good but risky. If your ranger is at low-level, (s)he has low HP and if the bear makes a save, it might kill you at once (high attack number).
    I made a bad bargain with it once.

    The only thing that I don't like about that place is there are so many spoils, and so little space to put it all. :D ;)

    Well, as pointed out earlier. They attack you, so you´re really not doing anything wrong.
    If they want to die, I wont say no :)

    To bad that there isn´t more to it though.

    Hack'n slash madness. I found the slaughter to be...relaxing. A bit of a no-brains moment in a pretty complex game can do you some good, y'know.
