My apologies for forgetting to update this thread.
@seden:
That component is labeled as beta because it is in need of update. It overwrites certain files instead of patching them and could use some internal improvement. However, the component DOES work as intended (I've played it several times myself). The only real problem with it (that I'm aware of) is that it might overwrite other changes to the circus tent/tower. It's very fun, and contains some great dialogue (well, okay, that's just my opinion
Here is a description:
Description of [Better Business: Kalah] component:
The current release includes a preliminary version of Better Business: Kalah. If you wish to use this component, do not install the Kalah And What He Was Promised component of Unfinished Business.
Under this component, an Evil character has the following additional options:
a.) trade Aerie to Kalah (if Aerie is in the party)
b.) threaten Kalah but question why Kalah and CHARNAME should be enemies
Aerie becomes Kalah's slave if traded to him.
In either case, the character gains the Ring of Human Influence and Kalah's goodwill. Kalah's Tower becomes permanent, and the character may use the location as a stronghold.
Good characters should not notice any difference when completing the quest (except for a very slightly more difficult fight with Kalah).
Tower Guardian Quest [Better Business: Kalah]: A simple stronghold quest in which Kalah gives you a bindstone and tells you the location of Thaxll'ssillyia the Shadow Dragon. If the bindstone is in your possession when you bring the creature to 1/3 of its health, you can force the beast to abandon the Shade Lord and become the Tower's bridge guardian.
The party gains 22,000 XP for completion of the quest (gained when the party returns to the Tower and speaks with Kalah; this is the same amount of XP the party would have gained for slaying Thaxll'ssillyia). The party does not gain the 3,200 gold or the Shadow Dragon Scales that it would have gained for slaying Thaxll'ssillyia. Instead, Kalah has prepared a gift for CHARNAME: Shadowpact Armor +6 (similiar to Shadow Dragon Scale +6 but has +75% Resistance to Acid and +25 Hide in Shadows). Conceptually, the armor is a combination of the Shadow Dragon Scale +6 and the stealth enhancing armors such as The Night's Gift.
Future releases will include:
a.) more stronghold quests for Kalah's Tower
b.) the revelation of Kalah's Master
