For day 5 of 12, I’ve released Iylos version 1, which has all known bugs corrected, several scripting changes, tp2 revision to make everything into components or subcomponents, the rest of the audio and several dialogue fixes.

Iylos Mirdan is a monk from Amkethran, a Desert City near the border of Tethyr. He is a very serious man at first glance, but a second shows that he has an ironic, slightly twisted sense of humour which doesn’t exactly fit with one’s general idea of a monk.

He has been sent to ascertain the PC’s intentions, and if s/he is agreeable, aid him/her in whatever way he can. But that doesn’t mean he has to like it - and he certainly doesn’t like the PC!

You can check out Iylos’ forum here, and download v1 here!

Interesting Topics on the Forums
