Vernworth dragon destruction

[Jelyck]

So after using a ferrystone to get back to Vernworth and sleeping in my home, woke up to a dragon in the middle of Vernworth killing all the NPCs including captain Brant....... GG, now i need like 12 wakestones to revive all these important NPCs..... /sigh

[The_Dreggs]

Or... just one eternal wakestone will do it.

It's even more fun when it's your pawn that killed the whole town.

the only important one is brant.

That's quite a rampage. When it happened to me it only got 2 guards then took off.

How did you even manage that?
Like I've had Drakes spawn in Vernworth a few times now, and they just stand completely still until I get close to them. And when I do get close enough, they attack my Arisen at the expense of all else.
The last two times I tried loitering just out of range to encourage them to kill NPCs, and it just didn't work. They just kinda gave up attacking, stood there doing nothing for a few minutes, then flew away.

So... how did you get them to actually kill people? I want to raise my FPS and going on a personal murder spree is a pain. I've been trying to get Dragonplague for a while now but had no luck with that either.

All of the NPCs should reappear after 7-14 ingame days.

[Louis Cypher]

They should never have released the game for mainstream npc-gamers

They shouldn't.
Unless by "should" you mean "will"... but I really wish they wouldn't. How am I supposed to keep the FPS down if they're just coming back to life?
Just yesterday my Arisen jumped down the steps from the noble quarter in Vernworth and something interrupted his fall and made him flop to the ground like he'd been shot out of the air. I wasn't sure what was happening at first but after about 5 seconds an NPC appeared underneath my Arisen... and apparently I'd tackled him to the floor before he even rendered in. It is probably the worst pop-in I've ever seen in any game ever...

And let's put it straight here: I like this game.... but not that part of it.

just sleep a week and they come back, (Well the important ones do, the others get replaced by other NPC's, so you might see different shop keepers) .

Wait until the MF starts casting Meteoron...

A single cast of that killed like 7 people for me once.

I can send you an eternal wakestone
Drop your pawn ID and set your pawn quest as receiving one.

I'm guessing we're talking about one of those Lesser Dragons with tumours all over?
Not a Drake, right? I've never seen a Drake cast Meteoron. Not that the Vernworth Drakes ever seem to cast much, nor even attack all that much. I've got to be pretty close to them for them to do anything besides just stand around.

No, Lesser Dragons dont have any spells as far as im aware.

Drakes can indeed cast Meteoron, and if you get hit even once youre pretty much dead cause it instantly puts you on the crawling state, and youre pretty much guaranted to get hit by the rest of them.

[justfaded]

That dragon attacks almost daily at some point and the only person who has ever died in my games has been brant. How did you lose 12? I have been attacked as a level 1 vocation and didn't do anything during the fight and probably had just my main pawn and still it gets fought off by the npcs without people dying.

[Mad Marduk]

I've had a drake invade Vernworth twice now. They only got a oxcart driver and ox.

Huh. Wonder why they don't do it for me then.

I don't think Meteoron would kill me in any case. I mean it is kinda difficult to die properly given this game will literally let you pause the game and heal yourself up even when you're lying around on 0hp. You'd have to be actively NOT paying attention to your hit points to die... and even then I've got wakestones.
