I have noticed this on accident. Has anyone else found out that when you pick up a rock and toss it through an enemy, it hurts them. Just to have fun i went on a killing rampage with my rock. now it is my friend, Bob.

yup, knew that, you can also throw barrels, poison barrels and all other kinds of stuff to them. I didnt check out meals and ales but it wouldnt surprise me if you could do the same with them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, this possibility is one of the outcomes of very early development discussions. The forum community back then had once suggested this (I don't remember who exactly that was who had written it).

Well, if it works... You won't hear me complainig if i combine it with a survivor special ability for more guerilla warfare.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> Are those orc wardrummers supposed to be so... unkillable? I'm kind of new to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> and they seem a tad strong for someone who just stomped his way through the catacombs of Aleroth.

Yes, they are. They have special abilities you'll have to deal with : The actual drumming.

They can be defeated, though.

*cough* death scorpions *cough* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />The first time I played the full game without them and I skipped the first dungeon so i have really NO idea how i did that ^^ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . Well, what I am doing atm (replay 3.5 time): Lure a bunch of orcs after ya, summon a death scorpion, dodge all the arrows and hacking, got much xp while laughing at those stupid orcs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . Now thats a lovely way to play aint it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I did that, but I used a bow instead <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. It was kind of hard since I hit one out of four shots, but I did it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

I think i did the first time somthin like this: Hack-Hack-Hack-space-potion-hack-hack-hack-hack-space-potion-hack-... I thought if you are in direct combat with him he has not the time to heal himself.

I could always wait for nightfall, and then embrace shadows and throw him into submission (1st level spear mastery, since it blows if you have to pay more than 1 mana for it with minimal bonusses). Will they heal if they don't know who attacked them? (I can throw pretty fast <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />)

Dang.

Well, one option left then: Toss Harder. And use bigger rocks.

Broken barrels also work well.

For the orc drummers, I could not kill the first one I encountered, but he could not hurt me either. I left him alone, and returned later when I had better equipment.

I started a new character....

I found out something i didnt even know.

When in the lowest catacomb area..after you speak to the skeleton Desmond and before you pull the lever to ressurect the Necromancer..if you talk to the other skeletons,they will give you items.

I got a small healing potion,gold and a dagger.

For fun i talked to all of them, one of them was a merchant in Verdists,killed by Pembura, one was a female trying to be my girlfiend(lol).

War Drummers- you can also force them into a corner,they will start fighting you and hence not be able to heal.

Well, I just nailed the drummer at the gold ambush just outside of town (I loved that one, you see it coming from the start but still you can't help yourself: You have to see if the most ridicilous ambush ever is actually in the game. I laught my nether regions off <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />). With my survivor, I just kept my distance, used the special ability, and used my level 1 spear mastery non-stop. It took some time, but he never pounded the drum. Gave me a better spear to boot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
