Daggerfall Attic/Lofts/Teleport
liam darkfaer
I ran into this one room behind two secret doors, with a statue in the
middle of four fire-column things...if you touched any three, you would
lose about 100hp, if yo utouched the fourth one, you were teleported onto
a rafter beam, with a box sitting up there,that i couldn't open/didnt
react to a click.
anyone gotten here and could _open_ the damn box?
is this just a very complex red herring?
thanks.

I got teleported up there once and the box did NOT open for me either.
Just eye-candy I guess...

as far as I know, I couldn't open it either. But your next task is to
carve a new duneon with nothing but that red herring and try to make it
look like most of the other dungeons (shouldn't be too hard)

I've twice grabbed for a legitimate-looking treasure and been
teleported th the rafter with the box. I never got the box open. I'm
carrying an industrial strength open spell now, just in case. for
what it's worth, I've looked upward in rooms just like that one and
never seen a box.

*grin* it seems that the general consenus on usenet is that it IS just a
red herring, which BITES... it's a cool idea. =)
also, halb on #daggerfall basically said you woudln't find any quest goals
there :( oh well.

This is something of a spoiler concerning the above so read on with
caution!
I fess up, I did it. It's not really supposed to be a red herring,
but I missed an important link that tied it to the rest of my wacky
little scenario... Unfortunately, it's not something I can fix without
causing little ripples throughout the entire game. Think of it as a time
travel paradox... if I change this one link, every link after it could be
affected and I could erase my own existance! No quite honestly, if I
were to attempt to fix this with my tools it would alter 100+ Mbs of data
and I'm quite certain that wouldn't go over well as a patch for something
so minor. A programmer could hard code a fix perhaps...
While I'd love a programmer to hard code a fix for it, I'd prefer
them to continue fixing substantial bugs. Maybe after all the bugs are
fixed, I can twist someone's arm and make this work the way I intended it
to.
I'm truly sorry it doesn't work... so blame me for this tiny mistake,
it's rare that anyone will ever admit to one! ;-)
Sincerely and shamefully, :-(

I probably shouldn't ask, but is that also true of the right hand door
in the short hallway, where facing the wall with the doors there is a
hallway continuing to your right and a right angle bend to the rear
behind you? The left one opens with difficulty into a one square
room. The right one never seems to open.

P.S. You are forgiven in spades because you *talk* to us.

I haven't been there, but have you tried the "open" spell?
