Best Of

Hey, if Drizzt got all huffy every time somebody tried to murder him, the high blood pressure alone would kill him within weeks.

Although I like the idea of an adventurer who launches an assault on a Chaotic Evil tribe of orcs and then gets really offended when one of the orcs takes a swing at him.

Gate70/Grond0 multiplayer attempt 192 (update 1)
Reprise (male dwarven defender, Grond0); Kaliara (female human abjurer, Gate70)
Previous run

The dice gods were playing tricks again as for the second run in a row we ended up with a dwarven defender as protagonist. Possibly it was surprise at that result that meant I failed to do the normal adjustments with rolled stats and ended up with a character rather lower on dexterity and constitution than I'd envisaged.

Misery loves company, so Gate70 took pity on me by trying (and failing) to run round a diseased gibberling with his sling equipped after watching Gorion fall. That led to a trip to the temple, thus delaying our normal journey to find Shoal.

From Beregost we headed down to Nashkel, where Reprise bought a green scroll to protect against basilisk gazes - and Kaliara asked why he'd done that as she knew the spell anyway. Things went better against the basilisks though, before Korax helped out against Mutamin. He also had an easy enough job paralyzing Kirian - as all her friends had been stricken by an epidemic of blindness. That area pushed Reprise to level 5 and Kaliara to level 4.

Heading west to the coast, Reprise tanked some sirines with a potion of clarity. Inside the pirate cave, the golems were kind enough to form an orderly queue for Reprise to shoot them down from behind an invisible Kaliara - only 39 of Baerin's 40 +1 arrows being required there.
Deciding it might be handy to have a magical melee weapon if more golems were to be tackled, Reprise went to talk to Bassilus. He got confused about what he was supposed to be doing, but fortunately Bassilus was blind to his opportunity.
Feeling things were going a bit too smoothly, Kaliara failed to react in time to a ghoul ambush and picked up her second death. After recovering from that, we managed a belated trip to Shoal - but for once neither of us got a level from her easy XP.

Some reputation quests were done without trouble on the way up to the ankheg nest. Reprise was determined to try and make it through there without resting - and just about managed that. Farmer Brun pushed reputation to 20, so we'll probably do a small amount of shopping next time - although neither character can get a charisma discount (even with friends) this run.

Reprise, dwarven defender 6, 85 HPs, 70 kills
Kaliara, abjurer 5, 27 HPs, 22 kills, 2 deaths

I do not know, he seems pretty pissed off (If you follow the dialog tree "I thought you were dead") if he was defeated in BG1 because it was a chore to track down his scimitars again, at least that is what he told you.
It seems Malchor Harpell was not available in Baldur´s gate, only in Athkathla. Low mobile magic coverage or something.

Good thing is that if you are polite he even forgive you and help you against Bodhi. Greater good and all that stuff. That is a good lesson: If you slay a powerful iconic character, just be sure he is Chaotic good so you have all the benefits, none of the consequences.

If you find the grimoire "Necronomicon" in the hidden container on the Ice Island, you can summon the real ruler of that island. But I warn you, he is probably the hardest fight in the whole series.

Elves are just pointy humans.
