Nysyarc, question about this:Nysyarc wrote:After creating a virtually indestructible character and slaughtering every enemy in existence, I was slain by a mere portcullis. In my rage, I developed a new character with which to even the score, and now nothing can stand in my way! ... Or impale me from above!
Edit: This may be considered a spoiler in some ways, even though it doesn't give away the main quest line.
)Ought to be stuck there, of course, leaking bodily fluids until you expire. Even a portal spell would be difficult to cast, in the circumstances! It depends on whether the folks at Basilisk anticipated this possibility or not. I'd like to see something like "You have miraculously survived being crushed by a portcullis! Unfortunately, you are now trapped underneath a portcullis and completely immobilized. As your blood flows out onto the stones, you feel consciousness slipping away...your last thought before the darkness envelops you is "Why did I stupidly crush myself under a portcullis?"Once you've smashed down the portcullis on yourself and survived, can your character move in either direction? Or are you trapped and immobilized by it?!
Good idea, Turtle. Unfortunately, I think we assumed no one would survive a portcullis drop and so you can probably just walk away from it. Never actually tested this though...Turtle wrote:Ought to be stuck there, of course, leaking bodily fluids until you expire. Even a portal spell would be difficult to cast, in the circumstances!

Yes, he can move afterwards, and yes I bought one dart for the sole purpose of triggering the portcullis from afar. There are a few reasons why I decided to do this, in order of priority (SPOILER):Once you've smashed down the portcullis on yourself and survived, can your character move in either direction?

It's shut and can still be opened and closed normally, in fact I reloaded the file and got 2 darts instead, I closed the gate on myself from afar and then without moving, opened it again.My question is after the portcullis closes on you and you move past it, is it shut, permanently forced open, or just open and functioning normally?
