Meanwhile, an overly cautious charname makes his way to Nashkel Mines (SCS/no-reload - take 7)

Well, I know that most people are braving the lands around Athkatla at the moment. But I have yet to make it to Baldur's Gate.
Actually, I kinda just arrived in Nashkel Mines -- after clearing out most of the country side up to and including Ulcaster.
Playing an SCS/no-reload game -- this is take #7. Here is an earlier botched attempt:
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/393309
[Sleep is way unbalanced as a lvl1 spell. I avoided mage counters until most of my characters are lvl 5.
Currently running:
Charname - Fighter/Invoker [EEkeepered] - Human - NG
Neera
Imoen [EEkeepered into sorcerer -- I wanna take Hexxat as thief in BG2EE, so I don't want Immy to be a thief]
Rasaad
Safana
Viconia
HOUSE RULES:
- NO-RELOAD! (resurrecting NPCs within game okay; if they are chunked, then they are gone.)
- SCS (AI and encounter improvements only, but no rule-changes: e.g. smarter mage AI & smarter basilisks, but no 'improved spiders')
- no "rest until healed" (cast heal spells individually after 8 hour rest or use potions: makes dungeons tricky!)
- no "recharging" items (Shield amulet, you say. It's gone once all the charges are gone.)
I will post more if I successfully make it to Baldur's Gate and beyond.
But for now here is a picture of Neera summoning a horde of squirrels against a pack of assasins.
Wish me luck.
