There is no schedule yet - I will post a set of times after discussing it with Charissa and Wolfgang.
-
Time and date to be decided based on players schedules.
This is a renewal of a very old campaign story with a rich history Those players still with us will certainly keep their characters - if they do not wish to be in the campaign they will advise me and I will put the character up for reassignment.
Here is the list as it is now:
Characters for the campaign:
Aven Ashallows - last played by Sparky1479 (available for reassignment)
Baronette Darla Drowbane - played by charissa1066
Hero Sharpe - played by Barry_1066
Brandon Steele - played by Wolfgang1066
Daisy Meadows - played by Athena
Ikaro - last played by Raven of Dispersion (available for reassignment)
Devon - last played by Mairie (available for reassignment)
Professor Cogg - played by Mkmddx
Yarryn Foxx - Last played by Ashlinn (available for reassignment)Post in this thread your interest - character choice and please make sure you have read the entire other thread with the character descriptions.
There are nine player characters - only 4 are currently available for application.
If someone wishes to create another character - write up a proposal or talk to me privatly about possible choices.
The Wolf Gang has helped previously - a child from the Wolf Gang may be a good fit
The brownies and pixies have also helped in the past - one of these could be a good fit
Some other possible characters are needing discussion privately so as not to reveal plot issues publicly.And now a note about The Wolf Gang. The area where The Wolf Gang live is odd - odd in that children who go there or have been there, never grow up - never grow old - stay youthful and a child forever - one could call it Forever Land or Never Grow up Land or shorten it to Never Land if you like.
No one knows how old the gang of children living there actually are - they seem to have always been there.

The Curse of the Lovers
Here is a quick rundown of the characters, past and present.
Iain/Sarabeth -
A cleric of Diana, Iain/Sarabeth were two lovers who were cursed into occupying the same body. Neither aware of the others continued existence, they strove to find their true love once more. However, once in a while the personalities and physical forms would switch. The group encountered both Iain and Sarabeth, but were unaware that they were in fact the same person.
Sadly captured by the Baroness, both Iain and Sarabeth are presumed dead. DECEASEDAven Ashallows -
The loyal guard of Baronette Darla, he was a stoic and reliable man. He never spoke of his family, but instead regarded his charge like a daughter. He never openly questioned why he was given the role of protector when there were so many other soldiers who were much better with a sword than he, but instead he took on the role wholeheartedly and devoted his life to it.
After the betrayal of fleeing with Darla, he was captured by Baroness Zoe and imprisoned. INCARCERATEDVanessa the Grey Seer -
An abrupt and mysterious woman, she mixed truths with lies to lead people the way she wanted them to go. Never knowing if she was truly trustworthy or not, Darla and her friends were forced to do as she said, as Vanessa claimed that failure to do so would result in tragedy. Vanessa seemingly betrayed Darla by returning her to Fountain City, but claimed that it was a necessary course of action to prevent the death of Hero.
Vanessa allowed herself to be slain by Avens nephew, Devon. DECEASEDYarryn An Telamar -
An elven monk of the Anrys order, Yarryn An Telamar took upon herself the duty of protecting a small halfling girl who had been afflicted with some type of 'disease'. The monk swore to protect the girl until such time that a cure could be found and that she may be returned to her family.
Once involved with Darlas 'gang', Yarryn An Telamar proved to be a threat to Baroness Zoes chances of recapturing her daughter. In an unusual sequence of events, Yarryn An Telamar was sent back in time by a Chaos Demon named Harah, and died fighting in the original Drowbane Wars. DECEASEDBaronette Darla Drowbane -
A booksmart girl, and only daughter of the Baroness Zoe, she was kept within the castle for her entire life. Once she gained her freedom, she has proven to be both a wealth of information and yet a naieve girl unaware of the realitys of the world. Rapidly coming to terms with the fact that books may only teach knowledge, but life is based upon experience, Darla is caught in a day-to-day struggle for her own life. A talented musician, Darla can lighten the spirits of even the most disheartened.Hero Sharpe -
A common street-thief and opportunist, Hero first saw the Baronette when he was fleeing her castle after stealing the silverware. Diving from the battlements into the rocky seas below, he also managed to steal Darlas heart. Once nothing more than a vagabond, Hero is proving to be a brave and devoted companion to Darla. Hero has proven to be the most versatile of the group.Brandon Steele -
Once the Grey Seers Apprentice, Brandon has been forced to live without his guardian since she was slain by Devon. Unaware if he is the new Grey Seer or not, he has focused his learnings upon ice magic. Still a child, this boy has had to grow up very quickly.Daisy Meadows -
Daisy was run over by a stampede of cattle and her life was almost at an end when a mysterious cleric suggested he could heal her. The healing worked, but since that day Daisy has not been quite 'right'. Now a sinister girl with a mixture of childlike innocence and morbid tendencies, she has shown amazing powers over the dead. When seen by high powered clergy, most have turned away from her in horror. It is unclear what they have seen about her which repulses them so.
Recently, she has lost the flesh from one arm, and sprouted demonic blue wings.Ikaro -
A cleric of Benthar, and one of Darlas newest companions, Ikaro was a witness to the murder of some Fountain City guards for which Aven Ashallows was blamed. Ikaro knows that the allegations about Aven and Darlas companions is untrue. Since that day, it has almost seemed as though Benthar himself has steered Ikaro's destiny toward Darla.
Also in posession of a once lost relic of Benthar, named Benevolence, Ikaro follows the path set out for him by his god.Devon -
A paladin of Tyr, and nephew of the convicted Aven Ashallows, Devon was initially employed by the Baroness to find her daughter and to kill (give justice to...) her companions. Once Devon met Darla, he soon became aware that all was not what it seemed. He vowed to continue the path that his uncle had once devoted himself to, and protects Darla without question.Professor Cogg -
Professor Valance Electron Cogg 'was' a reknowned inventor, forced into teaching by a series of unfortunate events. But as Prof. Cogg was to discover, those unfortunate events did not stop once he became a tutor at the Golemworks. On the contrary! He was often left to run the Golemworks when Professor Henthar went on one of his many 'trips abroad' without warning, and in one of these periods the Golemworks was attacked and taken over by goblins under the instruction of Baroness Zoe. As the other tutors and students were all led to a ship in shackles, Prof Cogg (as the remaining senior staff member) was forced to stay and reprogram all the golems to follow the goblins command. How was Cogg supposed to know they would attack the King and Queen?
Now the emergency is over and Professor Cogg is exiled from Gnomar for re-programming the Golems. On a mission to prove his loyalty to Gnomar, the gnomish disaster area is forced to accompany Darla and her companions. Maybe he will prove to be a luck charm, though whether that luck is good or bad.... that remains to be seen.Yarryn Foxx -
Yarryns real name is not pronouncable by the human tongue, but for some reason this Kyoht female has had dreams of being an elven monk since she was but a little cub. These memories which emerge in her dreamstate have coaxed her into leaving her homeland, and compel her to find the child she believes she swore an oath to protect. She uses the name Yarryn Foxx as she believes Yarryn is her 'elven name' and Fox is what the humans refer to her as.
An adept archer, she is more than a match for unwary enemies. -
Eastern Island - more a small continent than an island - is known for the cities of Barrydale, Roseberry, Sanctuary, Fisherman's Port and Fountain City- home of Baroness Zoe and her Castle.
There is much more there than these cities including swamps, forests, cavern systems, and more.
These areas have a rich history - (to be elaborated on yet)

About the Mystic:
And the newest class - the Mystic:
Mystic
The Mystic is an ordinary individual who finds a new untapped power within the depths of his mind. Where this power came from remains unknown to many; if the individual wishes it the power can develop into many shapes or forms. The power, referred to as Mystic Energy, can harm or heal, shape or destroy. The individuals wielding the power each choose their own path and development of their new powers.
Mystics are not telepaths or fortune telling psychics. Their power however is power of the mind. As such the Mystic uses her intelligence or wisdom modifier as relevant spell ability, using the higher of the two. The relevant spell ability is used in the different Mystic Abilities to increase the power, damage class and/or duration.
As the Mystic focuses her power by use of her mind, she cannot wear headgear such as helmets. Shielding her head disrupts the free flow of Mystic Power from her mind, making it impossible to use her Mystic Abilities. Mystic Abilities, like spells, cannot be used while polymorphed either.
Once a Mystic exhausts her Mystic Energy she needs to go into a state of meditation to regain it. During this state she cannot act in any way and is especially vulnerable to enemy attacks. The Mystic gains 30 points of Mystic Energy at level one; she gains an additional 10 points for every following level in the Mystic Class.

The relevant spell ability is used for extra bonuses which vary between spells. In general terms, a higher relevant spell ability will lead to a higher save DC and a longer duration of spells.

Advice on updating to any new version of NWN EE that comes out - IF you want to continue logging into and playing on Realms of Annakolia - WAIT - we are now running linux and docker - we have to wait for the docker release to have NWNX for the new latest release and that will require a lag period between the update release and us getting it all up and running.
-
Since some of the scripting calls we use to have with a custom NWNX plugin went away with the evolution of NWNX and our plugin no longer working - a NEW plugin was made for us. Without getting too technical, we need those scripting calls and are in the process of installing linux on the machine. The server is currently being hosted by Malishara while our hardware is in the shop getting a new 1TB hard drive to replace the 10 year old 86 gb hard drive raid 1 system we were running. The new 7200 rpm drive is an improvement in speed and size and the new linux os is claiming a significant increase in speed.

Seems the portraits download from our website was missing some portraits - I have updated that download
Remember to not put portraits in a subfolder under the Portraits folder - only in the root of the portraits folder.

Hello all - I will be updating the server in a few minutes

Concerning the latest Beamdog NWNEE update:
I could not see the Annakolia server on GameSpy - checked, it was running and on the correct port but the listing was gone - so i rebooted it and is there once again. I have no idea how or why it lost the GameSoy listing
We need to keep an eye on server availability on GameSpy - and try and determine if the issue is NWNEE/GameSpy or my AT&AT BB connection.
we are now using a utility that will detect if the server is working or not and then reboot the NWN server.
http://www.jimbobslimbob.com/filescat.asp?cat1=Programs&cat2=Utilities
We had something like that with NWNX but we can no longer use that - it has gone dark side for the last 5 years being ONLY in Linux.
These is an option for the Game Server Manager to check the internet for the server instead of machine side monitoring - this might need doing for now while this issue is present if it happens again - could just be a fluke. (or dark side and Fluke Skywalker - do I have Starwars on the mind?)

CRITICAL UPDATE INFORMATION:
Malishara - Today at 6:34 PM
now we can't get in at all
http://www.beamdog.com/files/prerequisites/oalinst.exe
the Beamdog client should take care of that automatically during update
Switched from NWN Head Start to NWN then I was prompted to install OpenAL. I installed it, switched back to NWN Head Start and I am in.
there's the issue
they overlooked Head Start
that is not working for me tho. manual install time :/
manually installing OpenAL from that link works
Please take a look at this:

Beamdog NEN EE - you MUST start the game once and log into it - you can then leave (make sure you start from the Beamdog client that first time or you will not get your multiplayer key)
Now - once you have been into a module (single player will do) and are now out - if you open your documents folder you will see a newly made Neverwinter Nights folder. Open that Neverwinter Nights folder and you will find the locations for the haks, the tlk, music, and portraits.
Do NOT put a folder full of haks (or whatever the material is) INTO THE hak folder - all files must be in the hak foler, not in a folder named hak or whatever under the hak folder. The same goes for the tlk, portraits and music folders - no sub folders.
1) Do not put a folder into the hak folder - remove the haks and place them in the Hak folder.
2) Tlk files all must be removed from where ever they are and place in the tlk folder.
3) music must be removed from any folder and placed in the music folder (BMU files - not haks).
4) Place portraits in the portraits folder - not haks - these are picture files.
Haks needed for Realms of Annakolia:
Get Both Annakolia and CEP 2.4 haks here
Malishara - Yesterday at 3:24 PM
1) Ensure that your account is properly provisioned for one of the two versions of the game
2) While logged in to the website, go to the game head-start pages available under the 'Games' drop-down at the top of the website:

Unless Beamdog has fixed the install you will need to download and install this too: https://www.openal.org/downloads/oalinst.zip
otherwise, you will get an error

This above is all out of date as of now - Beamdog has recoded and enhanced NWN producing the Expanded Edition or EE. You can preorder this and get the current beta to play on Realms of Annakolia.
No other previous versions will work - cannot connect to the new EE version and they cannot use the new GameSpy.
Go Here:

I have the beta NWN EE and am hosting the server 24/7 at this time. Malishara and I are planning some additions of MMO style quests and seasonal quest series. We are designing some faction reputation systems with quests using a coin based monetary system for the faction reward stores.
Standard gold will still be used for the existing stores but the special things that will be most desirable, these will ONLY be available from the faction stores and those coins only earned in small quantities through quests.
with more than 2000 areas to explore, we wish to encourage exploration - many quests will be to find something in areas that will require some travel and effort to obtain, as well as exploring areas - not just running through them.
I hope to make activities players find interesting and worth their time when DMed games are not being played.
Hope to see you all in game soon.

May 11 at present is open for me - I could do Feisty Chicken.
-
HOWDY!!!! Malishara woke me up with some possible %^&^%#$ scammin my msn account and using a similar name but i assure u all it wasnt me. guinness has two n's i assume the bot or whatever got it off of her profile page.i will NOT divulge my msn account name so anyone who contacts u with anything similar to lord guinness is not me ok? anyway i am back at the park1 that means i will(eventually) have time to play soon! sunday nights(when i am writing this), i can kinda stay up a little late-just so u know, mykkal :). i wouldnt be averse to starting up a new horselords!...keep in touch and i'll try and be around meself , god bless, LG.
If you find time to look in I will be on Annakolia weekdays:
Times: look for me between 2PM (Eastern) and 6PM - times fluctuates for his classes so may not be on that late every day but should be fairly consistent.
Stuck at Eastern University MI for a few hours every weekday so using that time to be on the server, mostly.

The long wait to get brownies mounted and riding is coming to an end. I have put this project out to the community as a MUST HAVE for the next CEP update and The Amethyst Dragon has taken it on and done it. Here is a picture to wet your appetite.
(Click to enlarge the picture)
This simple hak, which requires CEP2.4, adds several changes for the CEP dynamic brownie appearance:- it adds the riding phenotype for normal and large bodied brownie appearances
- it enables brownie robe support while riding
- it adds brownie scaled CEP robes (so brownies get basically the full choice of CEP robes)
- it changes brownie wing/tail scale so that horse "tails" appear correctly
- - default value is 0.6, this is changed to 0.45
- it slightly changes the weapon scaling so that brownie weapons are proportional to their
scaling from human size
- - default value is 0.5, this is changed to 0.45
-
Sorry was away - perhaps tomorrow, Sat. at the Feisty Chicken - If other players will come.
-
Just got home from Lake Placid NY where Wolfgang, my son competed in Ice Dance competition - found the server down after a power failure - restarted server - sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Electrical service restored at 3 AM but i did not drive home to verify the report until now - 6:25 AM. I have started up the server and Annakolia should be playable in the next couple of minutes.
Sorry for the down time - power was out all over the city and many areas in both Ohio and Michigan.
-
Server has been down since Thursday - power outage from freak winds in thunder storm - have been told we should have power be Monday if not before. I will get the server up as soon as i can - we are staying in a hotel 25 miles away due to heat 100 to 117 degrees - air at home is out too.
Hello there

Experience is dictated by the Aurora Game Engine and was set by Bioware. We use no custom XP system - the cave bats are boosted in CR to give very low level players quick XP. To adjust all monsters in CR would require making new versions from all the Bioware monster list - not going to happen due to resource limitations.
The disparity of a level gap is again, an Aurora Game Engine hard coded function. We are using the stock Bioware systems for XP. Yes there are some scripted XP systems - these were investigated and rejected long ago.
We do not want fully leveled characters in two weeks - not in two months - and there is no 300 XP cap.
I was experimenting with a new character - at level 8 I killed a mountain giant and got nearly 500 XP - at lvl 10 the XP was down to about 300 and by level 12 well under 200.
Bioware, in their wisdom, set XP based on Character level vs CR of the creature being fought. Summons, animal companions, familiars, and henchmen also reduce total XP you receive. Traveling with a much higher level player will reduce XP.
This is the way it is - and for signage - go through the entryway portal and you are ported to Sidonia's Castle with a sign in front of you directing you to the beginning dungeon. The dungeon entrance also has a sign.
