Glyph weapons used by Keepers.

I'm on it. Just before TDS crashed I heared the Bethisik, but saw no invisible keepers. So I guess it could be an attack glyph "just like" the Discarta. I will keep on clashing to verify that. :D

PS: Again I heared the Bethisik while the keeper guards turned invisible und also the Aranides when they casted a spell towards their enemies. But since it's always a huge chaos, it's hard to tell which purpose each glyph has.

PPS: And I heared about the Invertamus Glyph (to...some kind of stop aging or something, I can't remember), which had been mentioned above.

Thanks for your efforts, Beleg Cúthalion. Your findings will be archived and put to good use.:thumb:

If there would be acutally any findings. :erg: I'll have to check that with a single elder (so they can't make their allies invisible), but they die quite soon.

Yeah, it would be so much easier than fiddlin' with the editor (unless one knows their way around T3Ed pretty well). Effort's appreciated nonetheless.

I just played "Crystall Clear Conscience" by Judith and... [SPOILER]you know the murderer in the final sequence? This one must be a keeper, at least...[/SPOILER]...that guy attacked with "Glyph Bethisik (sounded like Methisik), do my bidding!" So this one must be an attacking glyph. I will turn now to Creature Clash again, because of some translating troubles there, and prick my ears.

Research does stir up some interesting things.

I haven't played CCC, so I personally don't know the material. Hmmmm.

(http://thief.nov.ru/glyphs.htm) Number 69 is rising and fading from one deadly wounded keeper when he finally dies after Gamall's revelation:

Despite that it was probably supposed to look cool, I'd find it rather naive to assume that it was some kind of life glyph that is fading from him, now because of his death. Gamall wouldn't be so special if she wasn't the first (and only) keeper using glyphs on life itself. I'd suggest either some kind of healing spell which has proofed ineffective or some "background" guardian that keepers can evoke for general protection. :confused: But maybe this is as ridiculous as a life glyph.

Hmmm....

Thanks for bringing these details to light, no matter how mysterious.:cool:

Beleg Cúthalion on 22/2/2007 at 20:17

So, one last thing that came to my mind: In the over-worked teaser trailer for TDS you can see lots of glyphs flying around while Garrett is trying to unlock the door, and the last one (which is supposed to look like the "unlocking glyph") is (http://thief.nov.ru/glyphs.htm) number 90. Have fun. This is getting ridiculous...:p

In the name of Thoroughness, don't let ridiculousness stop you.:laff:

All the movies are part and parcel of the source materials. We don't want anybody to say we missed something. Well... actually it would be helpful if people pointed those things out, so I take that back.:p
