Paladin Quests? (Spoilers?)

[robertmitchell]

I'm enjoying the game a lot. I'm also liking the new tenth level ability for paladins. My alignment is now at four, with the ruins and the angel's sword quest. Are there any other quests I can do to raise my alignment?

On the main quest I went to the bottom level and took out the Knight of Balance. I talked to the king(not quite trusting the priest because of the ruins quest resolution) and didn't take anything, because I couldn't find a "holy looking" item. Did I miss it? I saw a red crystal but left it alone. I can't seem to get past this point. What am I doing wrong? Neither the King or the Priest give new options.....

Thanks again for maintaining and advancing this fun little game. Two things. The board is too big for what is in the game, and do you have a paypal button?

You have to actually take the red crystal with you, and go back to the priest.

If you've started the Stealthy Vipers questline, there is a possibility of persuading one of the bosses, and avoid a fight. You'll gain 1 alignment, but you need a high charisma for this to be possible.

Not sure why you think the board is too big. We have all the sections we need, and I think they're all used correctly.

And thanks for wanting to make a donation, but the game is free and will remain that way. I also don't want to put a paypal button, because peoples sending me money would put pressure on me to develop this faster, and I don't want to go that route. Developping Portralis is a hobby before anything else, and I want it to stay this way.

Thank you, sir. I hate to give the crystal to the priest, it screams set up, but ok. As to the board, I'm talking about the outside map. It seems that I have to scroll across the screen four times to move into a new (#,#). There aren't any outside random encounters so is seems pointless. Unless the map is really (#a, #a) to (#d, #d)? also, can you get to the other kingdoms mentioned in the start? or is that coming soon? No rush, I'm having fun as is, Just curious.

They'll come soon enough. I wanted to make one of the other kindgoms for the next build, but due to several bugs, including a critical oversight that I had to fix, build 002 will come very soon to incorporate the fixes.

I've already added the Storm Wyvern Travel Agency! They're a travelling agency that offers transport from kingdoms to kingdoms, so you won't have to walk your way through the massive overworld.

And yes, the overworld is massive, but more towns will be added, and I have plans to add more stuff than just plain wilderness. Random encounters is something we have to be careful with. If enemies are too weak, they become pointless. If they're too strong, they become problematic and annoying. Perhaps there might be random buildings or random places that could include monsters, but it will be possible to avoid them.
