Krezk Outpost
« on: May 08, 2015, 04:34:41 PM »
I like the area, but after thinking about it I realized that the dock is in the wrong spot for the lake-which then made me wonder how the ferry even got to Krezk considering the lake didn't extend that way. I checked maps and didn't really see anything-is there some river that connects to it I'm not aware of? Can someone shed some light on this for me. I'm confused now :(

Good catch.

Here's the map of Barovia:

If you look at the river that flows from Lake Krezk, it's actually a tributary of the Luna River. The Luna River seems to essentially start at Lake Zarovich and flow westward (logically towards the ocean but Ravenloft is rarely a logical place). So you could go on a boat on the Luna River, then go back upstream on that river and reach the outpost.

edit: Actually, on Jester's larger map of the Core, he also names it the Luna River (though it should technically be a tributary). That being said, the docks probably should face south but that's a minor thing.

Ah yeah I figured there was, you guys are pretty spot on when it comes to that stuff. That's a much better map than the ones I'd found also. Thanks!

I doublechecked in the toolset finally and everything seems fine. You cross the river Baratak (which flows from Lake Krezk) to get to the Outpost and the docks do face south on that river. That river eventually joins the Luna River, which is how you get to Vallaki. It's a pretty long trip actually but it's feasible.

Maybe I should start a new thread for this. But in terms of the fact that this is actually a long trip, and most river travel is slow going, what are the odds of adding a cut scene - instead of being instant travel. Either something similar to The Capture (with a boat on the water, and mists moving by) or maybe just an area you load into for a few minutes (maybe even a game hour, like the caravan) that's a ships interior.

<_< Sorry to derail the thread. It just came to me.
