I thought that robbers had a distinctive look. They don't look like, say, vagabonds or traders.
I have not gotten as far as a Robber quest. I've been trying to get the Forest Spirit to appear. I do the spell, drop a silver bracelet on an ant hill and stand there all night, to no avail. Bah...
Have you ever run from a robber encounter, gone into a village, and had the robbers follow and attack inside the village? I thought that was interesting. One more thing to increase my game anxiety.
PS: Ok, Upon waking in the morning, I got a message that said 'You have Unity with the forest'. Surely, tonite the forest spirits will come! Anyway, I'll try again.
you have to sacrifice the silver, using the sacrificing ritual. Not just drop it.
I confess I have no idea what that is. I'll go check my list of spells, see what I've overlooked. And, I'll have to get the quest again. It lapsed. EDIT: I checked spells again. I have to assume you mean the spell for calling the spirit? Yeah, I do that, I get the part that says to use the various game procedures, ie: dropping or pushing the item. I have done it both ways, in conjunction with the spell, and spent entire nights standing on the ant hill. The silver item is always there in the morning and no spirits showed themselves.
And, the Water Spirit? Is there some specific type of rock? I used the one hex stones in the rapids and have had no success yet.
