I see people complaining about how people only power level through their early levels and never visit any interesting parts of the game. Well, I'm inviting you all to step up. This weekend, with a new or low level character, at, say, 4 PM EST (9PM GMT, 1PM west coast) this saturday, we can start, with the only rule being that the common parts of the arctic, strange tower, farm, etc. are off limits. I'll be on one of the servers playing a character with "Lusitania" in the name, look for me. Obviously this is somewhat short notice, if people want it moved to Sunday that's fine.

Questions for off-the-beaten track: Bandits and Boat Ramp - Just what is that ship's log for? (no one knows) Disciple's tower - one loan guy putting up with the stench of Owlbears with his hell hound? What one item gives you immunity to magic missiles? Sure, you could get it with DR magic 5, but it's not as cool. Heros Crystal your gateway to the forgotten areas. Ever wanted your own set of polished bracers? How could you not want a heart stone, or twelve? This Anduin's guy had a whole staff? Altar to a gnollish god, whatever is that for? Do beholders in prison get time off for good behavior? Why do fire giants live so freakin close to frost giants? There's a dragon here?!? I know iron bands of Bilaro from PnP; they put those in the game? Sweet!
Those should get you started.

Looks like fun. I have the item that gives immunity to magic missle... but I muled it... forget what it was. No idea about that ship log either.... so I muled it. I killed the guy at the owlbear place... got some token thing and I have no idea what to do with it. Gnoll fort.... been there... but still dont know how to get topside... been inside the caves part under the fort... but its a dead end for me. Here's another one for you all.... What do you do with a seal breaker and sturdy rope ? I found out..... and it got me killed ! hehehe.

I can guarantee there are level 50+ players who don't know that one.... Here's some other oddities: Where are all the Grey Render FATHERS? Why would some ghost get so pissed about a doll? What the heck am I going to do with a recipe for a Demonflesh Golem? Dancing Scimitars?!? I thought they were banned to the old PoA? So many sleepy vampyres, so few oaken stakes.... Loki's Eye? Cool! It's like a prism how it bends the ligh...URK!! I will do my best to be there with some form of Bakchuda, Saturday works best for me.

I know iron bands of Bilaro from PnP; they put those in the game? Sweet! Okay, after some intensive googling I think Iron Bands of Bilaro bind or cage the person wearing them?? I have no idea how this applies to anything in HG, please give a hint =*(

These weren't necessarily meant to be answered by others (or at all in some cases) . They are meant to be answered in exploration. Try going someplace you haven't been. for iron bands: another good question is why did DnD 3.5 change the name? www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/magicItemsWI.htmlThey are a fun little ending to a fun little quest. Warning: You'll be bugged when you get there. They are Formidible opponents. If you want, find a Flynn in game. If I can, I'll go with you. Always up for an adventure.

I don't know if this plan is still up and running, but I would love to take my new rogue off the beaten path with a group of adventurers. Similar rules to HC in terms of acceptable areas. Say no to the Arctic, the Strange Tower, the Farm, the Temple and Rhaz.
Hello Crypt, Gnoll Fort, the Corpse Lord, Kardkildontar and Shadow Elves.
Around Wednesday of next week I should be playing regularly since my exams will be over.

I don't know if this plan is still up and running, I don't think it happened to begin with as I was playing with Monidor (Lusitania) at the time it was supposed to take place and we were powerleveling in the abandoned temple store room when it should have begun. I haven't even seen Monidor on in awhile. That being said, Dodrudon is collecting secrets and so you might want to ask him/her about exploring.
