The Dweomerkeepers Campaign Short Code: NWS-DKPPXGRS7
Well Met Adventurers!
. . . . . I hear rumors have begun to spread after the discovery of a Mystrallan structure in the Neverwinter Wood! These rumors weave tales of a lost Temple of Mystra and a band of drow followers of Lolth somewhere within the Wood. Intrigued are you now? Hmm, well this structure may hold clues to the Temple's location, as Cleric Millan believes... indeed. The Cleric of Lurue has set about to hire adventurers in hopes at unraveling these Mysteries, you should go seek him in Protector's Enclave.

Update Notes:

- Corrected the Sorcerer's Soulmagic effects, one of them was incorrectly setup and wasn't appearing. Known Issues: . . . . . I just ran the mission on my mage. I don't know if this is a game bug, but when I got to the ending dialog with Millan and then to the finishing the dialog, the very last objective is supposed to be to go loot the reward chest next to Sergeant Knox. However, I could not get the objective to update here until I relogged then spoke with Millan again. I am leaning towards this being an isolated game-bug. So, if you cannot get the objective at the end to turn in and be directed to loot the reward chest, try going to character select screen and then log back in. Please report this as an actual Game Bug if it happens, for there is nothing wrong with the Mission's Objectives.

Update Notes:
- First Publishing of the Beta Testing version of Act IV. Expect many changes on to live version yet! Known Issues: . . . . . Additional Teleporters were not placing properly in the 2nd Map, therefore the 2nd map has no combat. The combat for the 2nd map will come back when Teleporters are fixed. Ending reworked to flow properly without for the time being.
. . . . .The barrier to the portal is missing runes and looks pretty drab. Return already in place for next publish.
. . . . .The Ashmadai runes on the south door do not appear properly. Cause unknown.
. . . . .Be advised, this is a testing version. Many little things will change from now onto final publish. Please let me know what you think so far and keep in mind, there is supposed to be a player encounter-able combat scene on the 2nd map, but due to Teleportation device errors, it was omitted from the beta release.
If you haven't played through all the missions recently, you may want to again as many little things have changed over the past couple months to line up with Act IV better.

- Added two additional Relics to Secure.
- Split up the Secure the Relics objectives into five individual objectives to allow them each to have dialog and item drops.
- The Scroll Case replaced as an objective and no longer drops a single scroll with a lore tooltip. This tooltip became truncated by the 100 character limit. This has instead been replaced by a "Bunch of Scrolls" as an objective.

I have once again begun working on Acts 5 through 8! I do apologize for taking so long to continue working on the second half of the Campaign. I got sucked into Sharandar and Dread Ring and the advancement of several characters to 60 (and beyond, equipment, etc.) as well as health issues.
The information in the thread on current available missions is still accurate.

. . . I forgot to updated, I tried another attempt at fixing the respawn point in Act IV. This time, I moved it to another location entirely, swapping places with a Mob's spawn point. Hopefully this fixes it once and for all! Thanks everyone who reported this, as it is not something I can reproduce in the foundry. I have to actually play the mission for real for spawn points to work for testing.
. . . Still slowly working on Act V. I've scrapped it three times now as I keep getting frustrated trying to make branching objectives and consequences for good, neutral, and evil choices in dialog and actions. *grumbles* Taking a break from working on it for a week I think, as I don't like getting aggravated at a game.

Have you looked at the Advanced Foundry Topics on the wiki - shows how you can handle "detecting" different OR and AND conditions fairly easily.

Progress Updates
The Present - Dweomerkeep Library, Act V:
Act V is progressing nicely, albeit slower than hoped. I've been working on it for about 3-6 hours a week for the past couple weeks. Ambi got to jump around and test getting to places, if that's any good hints at what's in store for Act V!
No ETA yet on it going live. At this rate, it will most likely be a few more weeks yet, to a month. Right now, Winterfest occupies most of my game-time.
If you happen to see Act V published (Dweomerkeep Library) before a posting here of the details, it will be a TEST PUBLISH meant only for me and a select few to test certain things that are only test-able on the live server. Test publishes won't appear in the Campaign list and will usually only be up for an hour or two at a time. If you hop into a test publish, expect it to be broken or have otherwise undesirable outcomes in gameplay and visuals.
The Future - Acts V through VIII:
Players will continue their fantastical Mystra/Selûne/Shar/Lolth related adventures in the Sword Coast regions and in and out of the planes and feywild. Act VIII will bring to a close the story arc, aligning to 5th edition timeline (post 1479 DR). It will end with a tie-in to a future Campaign that will begin sometime after 1479 DR using 5th Edition Source Material for the lore. Staying in your timeline however, can never be assured...
Unknown Timeline - Updates & Related Campaigns: Updates to older missions...
Acts I through IV will get make-overs to update any story changes and fix any minor bugs or issues. I'll still fix any gameplay breaking bugs but small lore/typo related things will have to wait.
The future of the Arcane Age...
Get lost in and experience an alternate reality where Mystryl never perished from the casting of Karsus' Avatar, while trying to find your way back to your own reality. This will be a separate campaign from Dweomerkeepers and it's Sequel but will tie into both in some fashion. This campaign will be a direct translation from my 20+ year ongoing FR Campaign, where lore and events post-Karsus' Avatar will not be cannon.

Sorry for the delay but I just got some awesome tips on Teleporters (that post and the one below my reply to it) that will hopefully allow me to continue working on Act V. All former missions (besides the un-nestled spotlight one) should all still be working properly and provide ample gameplay and story.
So, as I enter Next week, I should have plenty of time to get back to work on Act V. On that note, I'd also like to take this time to say that I welcome all suggestions on things players would like to see, including but not limited to the following:
Player Interaction & Future Updates Planned:
Thank you for the feedback and I am very happy you have enjoyed them so far!
. . . . . I have often thought of adding more dialog options and was thinking that mayhap what I can do is ask players what kind of questions "They would ask" the NPCs in the dialog choices and then it might be worth-while to go through and add in some of those requests as the Campaign Develops.
. . . . .I did add one "evil" act in the very beginning of Act I when I replaced the Abort Exit on the first map. I also do feel adding more neutral and evil responses would be nice to do also. Act II also see's some "rude" choices when speaking with the Drow Street Urchin also. Aside from these though, yes evil choices are quite lacking in the Campaign.
. . . . . So, if anyone has any Dialog Choices that they would like to see with any of my NPCs, just reply with the following:
What Mission is the NPC in?
What Map is the NPC on?
What is the name of the NPC?
What dialog would you like more choices for?
What specific questions or choices would you like to see for this NPC/Dialog?

- The barrier to the portal on the first map has its aesthetics back.
- Re-added a combat encounter and mission objectives to the 2nd map. Found a working teleporter!
Known Issues:
- The ashmadai runes on the south door are not always appearing correctly, graphically. Still unable to pin-point down the cause, it may be a game bug.
. . . . . Be advised, this is a testing version. Many little things will change from now onto final publish. Please let me know what you think so far!
. . . . . If you haven't played through all the missions recently, you may want to again as many little things have changed over the past couple months to line up with Act IV better.

Update Notes for Version 2.2
- Added two additional Relics to Secure.
- Split up the Secure the Relics objectives into five individual objectives to allow them each to have dialog and item drops.
- The Scroll Case replaced as an objective and no longer drops a single scroll with a lore tooltip. This tooltip became truncated by the 100 character limit. This has instead been replaced by a "Bunch of Scrolls" as an objective.
- Each of the 5 relics now have proper descriptions to give substance.
- To save space, the 5 relics are now combine-able as part of an objective into one item shortly after acquiring them.
- The Sewers are now part of the Objectives.
- Most mobs have had their spawn Y axis adjusted to ensure they do not spawn below the ground or on the roof.
- The Amulet dropped by the Dead Half-Elf reworked a bit but remains part of an optional lore unlock. If players return with the amulet, it unlocks dialog with Millan explaining that they may have missed something optional.

The information in the thread on current available missions is still accurate.

. . . Still slowly working on Act V. I've scrapped it three times now as I keep getting frustrated trying to make branching objectives and consequences for good, neutral, and evil choices in dialog and actions. *grumbles* Taking a break from working on it for a week I think, as I don't like getting aggravated at a game.

Have you looked at the Advanced Foundry Topics on the wiki - shows how you can handle "detecting" different OR and AND conditions fairly easily.

The Present - Dweomerkeep Library, Act V:
Act V is progressing nicely, albeit slower than hoped. I've been working on it for about 3-6 hours a week for the past couple weeks. Ambi got to jump around and test getting to places, if that's any good hints at what's in store for Act V!
No ETA yet on it going live. At this rate, it will most likely be a few more weeks yet, to a month. Right now, Winterfest occupies most of my game-time.
If you happen to see Act V published (Dweomerkeep Library) before a posting here of the details, it will be a TEST PUBLISH meant only for me and a select few to test certain things that are only test-able on the live server. Test publishes won't appear in the Campaign list and will usually only be up for an hour or two at a time. If you hop into a test publish, expect it to be broken or have otherwise undesirable outcomes in gameplay and visuals.
The Future - Acts V through VIII:
Players will continue their fantastical Mystra/Selûne/Shar/Lolth related adventures in the Sword Coast regions and in and out of the planes and feywild. Act VIII will bring to a close the story arc, aligning to 5th edition timeline (post 1479 DR). It will end with a tie-in to a future Campaign that will begin sometime after 1479 DR using 5th Edition Source Material for the lore. Staying in your timeline however, can never be assured...

So, as I enter Next week, I should have plenty of time to get back to work on Act V. On that note, I'd also like to take this time to say that I welcome all suggestions on things players would like to see, including but not limited to the following:
Player Interaction & Future Updates Planned:
Thank you for the feedback and I am very happy you have enjoyed them so far!
. . . . . I have often thought of adding more dialog options and was thinking that mayhap what I can do is ask players what kind of questions "They would ask" the NPCs in the dialog choices and then it might be worth-while to go through and add in some of those requests as the Campaign Develops.
. . . . .I did add one "evil" act in the very beginning of Act I when I replaced the Abort Exit on the first map. I also do feel adding more neutral and evil responses would be nice to do also. Act II also see's some "rude" choices when speaking with the Drow Street Urchin also. Aside from these though, yes evil choices are quite lacking in the Campaign.
. . . . . So, if anyone has any Dialog Choices that they would like to see with any of my NPCs, just reply with the following:
