Location[]

WM-CS

The Crash Site is located 1453W 1289S on the eastern slope of the Stonewall Range, slightly west of Shrouded Hills. It is marked on the player's map the first time that they access the world map. It is the starting point of the Living One's adventure.


Area[]

Crash-site
  • The site is filled with carnage, confusion, and danger, but also with loot and information.
  • Check all bodies for items, open all containers for loot, and pick up everything that you find on the ground.
  • Be thorough, as some things are overlapped with other sprites.
  • Some will be valuable directly, and others and loot that can be sold for much needed coin.
  • Virgil is your first potential follower. Talking to him, recruiting him, and letting him help fight and carry the loot, and following his lead for your next move as the story develops can be quite helpful.

Point 1[]

This is where you will find your first body, that of one Preston Radcliffe (the gnome who gave you the ring). Besides the Ring, he also carries a passport that is an item for a later quest. Take it and hang onto it.

Point 2[]

This is the body of Wilhemina Carpenter. She carries a note that is an item for a later quest (this will be a running theme).

Point 3[]

This is the body of Isaac Zapruder. He carries a camera that is an item for a later quest. Take it and hang onto it.

Point 4[]

This is the bodies of two dead Ogres and a crashed aeroplane. The Ogres carry a medallion that is an item for a later quest. The plane has a plaque with a clue to its origin.

Point 5[]

This is an Alter that provides more information and exposition from Virgil.

Point 6[]

This is the entrance to a cave (see below).

Point 7[]

This is the exit out of the box canyon. The way out to the plain contains an assassin and several wolves. The wolves can be avoided by traveling via the world map when prompted by Virgil. However fighting them generates more exp.


The Cave[]

Crash-cave
  • The cave contains a handfull of rats that must be dealt with.
  • It is also filled with loot that should be taken and used or sold later.

Point 1[]

This is the portal to the outside.

Point 2[]

This is the body of Charles Brehgo, accompanied by his extremely talkative ghost. Conversing with him gives you the option for your first quest.

Trivia[]

Premade characters that aren't chosen will be found as bodies at the crash site. The bodies of D'ren Le'lor and Solomon Doone can also be looted for objects. Some bodies are cleared after the player character leaves the crash site, but the ones with quest related items are persistent.
