[MOD] Journey To Justice v2.1

You have been arrested and blamed for betrayal. And even if you are not guilty, the three judges condemn you to exile. - Will there be a way to get back from the wasteland and find justice?
Features
- 15 main-levels (in fact there are more), each with a different setting
- playtime approximate as long as the original Grimrock II game
- 62 types of monsters - familiar, very old and also brand new ones
- 42 secrets
- a lot of sub-quests, some with alternative solutions
- support of parties with less than 4 champions
- different challenges according to the party's experience (new or imported)
- non player characters
- masses of additional items, decorations, effects, surprises...
The general game-mechanic has the same rules as the main-campaign of Legend of Grimrock II. With some specials (in example eating and starving has become a bit more realistic - and therefore playing a farmer a bit more of a challange...) But to combat is the same, as the magic- and the potion-system is. However the schools of earth and water have been enhanced. Maybe investment in them is worthwhile now...
The general setting of this mod is not in a medieval period anymore but in the era of pirates. This affects not least the variety of available armour and weappons. Especially ranged attack weapons are limited. The era of the pirates is more for firearms - and so they have been improved and no longer have so many drawbacks.
MIND: There is NO Knight-Class anymore (knights and the age of pirates don't go along very well - don't they?). So make sure you do not try to import a party with a knight - it will cause a crash.
And you have to be familiar with rune-gestures and recepies - in this campaign you will get no clue how to use magic.

May you do well!

Some notes for the players of JOURNEY TO JUSTICE:
This mod has some elements, that are a bit unusual for Grimrock. The whole game has a main-quest. You will reveal details about it during your trip. But let me say, that you have to collect some informations about your problem, to solve the last trial...
Some hints for some puzzles in the first few levels:
LAKE LEECH
What do I have to do to leave the starting grotto?
Hint 1
There is a lever under water.
Hint 2
Pulling it once is not enought.
What to do to break through the waterplants near the waterstream?
Hint 1
The party is not strong enough to do this. You will need the help of another power.
Hint 2
Try to redirect the waterstream.
Hint 3
Use the plankboard and place it at a reasonable spot.
I cannot find a way through the floating barrels.
Hint 1
You can pass the pillar, which blocks you way. The one at the shelter which seems to be in danger of collapsing.
Hint 2
Step into the shelter and have a look, if you can move something.
CELLAR OF THE TOWNHOUSE
What is meant by 'our weighing scale is calibrated'?
Hint 1
Do you see the lowered platform? There is also an upper platform. Both are connected.
Hint 2
You can place items on the upper platform. Just try it.
FRIDAY ISLAND
Can I enter the hut on the hill in the center?
Hint 1
Sure. It seems, someone has already tried to break though the blocking plankboard.
Hint 2
One branch on the right seems to be not enough. So you have to use another one.
Hint 3
TOMB OF ARTAXES
There is a puzzle with a teleporter and another one down the hallway. What to do here?
Hint 1
Do you see the plates on the ground?
Hint 2
You have to reach them somehow.
Hint 3
Throw something down the hallway.
Secrets
Number of secrets per level. Mind that this list contains spoilers about what is coming in the mod.
Friday Island 3
Cellar Of The Townhall 2
Lake Leech 3
The Laboratory 2
Archive of Wizardy 3
Gardens of Longanimity 3
Plunder Village 3

Hey Thom!
My first hour into the game and I'm enjoying it a lot!

Although I got stuck at the...
water lever part where you enter the Leech Coast (orwhatsitsname) from the dungeon area through a teleporter after you meet the cook. Not sure what to do there to advance.
There are a few issues I would like to address -
The "ammunition" alcove says "cannonball stored" although I placed a single pellet there
The player should know what race can eat what before they actually have to eat.
My minotaur starved to death before I found food she wouldn't say 'no' to, and it was from a secret :/
Was being told my dead minotaur is suffering from starvation although she was dead
Ratlings not eating rats is fine, but let us know why nothing happens when you attempt it.
Palms seem to be using flat shading
Starving actually
increases damage output, at least for unarmed attacks.

Hey zimberzimber - thanks for your comments.
To progress in Lake Leech
Hint
There is a lever under water - pull it and listen.
Hint2
Pulling it once will not be enough.

Sorry for that. Yes, Minotaurs will be a bit harder to feed. Maybe I should re-check the distribution of food for them...

That's nothing I have intentionally coded. Seems to be a result from the sum of penalties...

Yea I spent a good 30 minutes playing with that lever (lol) and listening. Didn't find a solution.
I think its unfair to limit minotaurs specifically in what they can eat since they already have a food related penalty.

Spoiler
Pull the lever and wait until the clicking ended - then pull it again - and a third time after the faster clicking ended

I did try that a bunch of times before though... guess my timing was just off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And now I'm not sure how to make the 'spot' perfect with the plank board.
Found a boulder that looks too much like a prop and not an item by randomly clicking around its place earlier, but couldn't find anything to do with it.

A boulder may be a good spot to put a plank board at. If this could redirect the underwaterstream...
