#THE BARDS TALE RUNETIME EXCEPTION SERIES#
" Combat is divided into a series of "rounds," like a boxing match. The chance of a random fight is twice as high as the chance of a wandering monster offering to join. Random battles can also happen while just standing still: as time progresses, the game "rolls" again and again to see if a fight happens, or a wandering monster shows up and offers to join your party (unfortunately it is not clear how frequently these rolls are made). To reset the fights at set locations, leave the dungeon (or go to a different level), then come back. In Dungeons, fights at set locations (with few exceptions) generally start automatically as soon as you enter certain squares - after defeating the monsters, that square is "cleared" and can be traversed safely. If you fight them, they come to life and attack you. The maximum is 99 monsters per group, with up to four groups."įights at set locations in Skara Brae generally involve Statues which you can choose to fight or not to fight. At the outset of combat a list of foes will be given, broken down into the number of foes in each group. You can also initiate intra-party combat at almost any time, in case one of your members is turned to the dark side. " Combat with "monsters" (the generic term for all opponents) occur both randomly and at set locations. In Skara Brae, entering a generic building (i.e., any building other than a Temple, Tavern, a shop like Garth's or Roscoe's or a Dungeon) gives a 25% chance of starting a random fight.
