I got the Wiz 7 bug (not a software bug, but the good addictive kind) again for the first time in about a year. My old computer is gone and my spare laptop wont handle Wiz 8 very well so I thought I would give good old CoDS a go again and it always blows me away how great this game is even if I only play it once a year or so.Anyway after a couple of differnt combo's I found my groove again with a party I am enjoying so far:
faerie theif>Ninja
Felpurr Ranger>Samurai
Elf Bard>Monk
Mook Bard>Mage (maybe to samurai after that)
Dwarf Theif>Priest>Valkyrie (this combo was not very well planned, going from base priest to valkyrie has been very difficult)
Human Ranger> Samurai or Ninja?? (still havent decided on this one, I wanted a samurai but right now Ninja is available for profession change)
I like this party because there is only minimal class changing needed (I dont like excessive changing), I can cover all spellbooks and everyone has Ninjitsu. It was slow going though for the first 6 or 7 levels but starting to pick up nicely.
So anyway back to the problem at hand, I have been going my own way through New City minding my own business, killing a few pesky cruds in old city and sorting out the undesireables. A new sheriff is in town. But for some reason Rossarian doesnt want to talk to me, I try to convince him it wasnt me hitting on his sister but he is not taking kindly to nice words, little presents, additions to his trust fund or even some gentle "charming" persuasion. I havent befriended any of his enemies and am not using that most unholy of software (wizGold)he just doesnt like me. I am working on seeing if he prefers young rapscallions to go off to "ukpyr" military school before he gives any respect but that journey right now is long and difficult.
Oh well thats what is so great about wiz 7, every time is different and fraught with new dangers, problems, solutions etc. But boy my team could really use some good weapons right now.
