The Drunken Lizard Pub

Well, Eschalon isn't all that scary. But there must have been at least one or two moments that sent chills down your spines!

This one took the cake for me: I was playing late at night (first run) and got to Hellice Lake. I found the cottage in one of the maps and one of my finds, along with the exploration text, scared me pretty badly



Naturally, I hightailed out of there!

Mine was in my first game. It was a dark and stormy light as I went past Minus's house in Greenriven Lake. My torch kept going out as I was walking along. It suddenly stayed lit as my 2nd level mage saw 5 black molds bearing down on him.

Extinguish torch and run away.

I'm just glad we didn't put a bunch of shrubs and bushes on the northeast side of the house.

For me, it was probably when I first entered westwillow. I first encountered those archers and thought, skeleton archers? Surely you could do better than that. Then I found the small path with the westwillow sign. The effect was able to come through thanks to the music, and I decided not to do westwillow until before I left for picaroon, because I wanted my wizard to get through without ever being touched once by those zombies. Had to reload a few times, because I had very low mana, and I got ambushed a few times while resting.
