RanEnc: Monk's Lost Book

Unread post by electric mayhem »

Encountered the Nervous Monk in CK whom had lost his book to Gnolls.
The initial wording in the conversation had me 100% believing the book would be found on the first level.
Hidden: show
I found it on the third.
Whether by design or not, i'm unsure.
Perhaps we could reword it to the book 'may' be found on [insert level] but could be anywhere in the caves.
Real adventurer wouldn't need those hints though anyway :D

I liked the Searching mechanism. I literally scoured the entire upper level checking each room as i thought the search checks needed to be in a specific small radius of the items point. Turn's out that "search a different area" literally means search a different Map.
Started getting the proper tracking pings when I was on the right map.

I happened to be in the caves with two other characters at the time, purely by random chance (they were not on the quest). There may have been a chance that one of those other characters could have picked up the book... and I may have never found it? Fortunately I found it first.
Is this a feasible risk, or is there some item pickup protection in place?

I really enjoyed the quest and concept. It went smoothly once I understood how I was meant to perform it all. It didn't take long and wasn't overly complicated.
