Nárwendil, the Elven F/T, no-reload BG:EE solo

in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
As Darhaina, my K/C/A got killed by Angry Mushrooms™ that were spawned by a Mushroom Generator™, I decided to start a new BG:EE+SCS run.
In my madness, I went to the stratagems.ini and edited the option to add 7 levels to each Mage and Cleric in the game. I hope they don't use level 9 spells even if they are able to do so :I
I am going to play a no-reload solo run with Nárwendil (Fiery/Fire Woman in Sindarin), as a starting proficiencies I choosed Long Sword ** and Two-weapon style **.

I am going to see how this goes.

    Okay. Short run here :/ I tried to kill Tarnesh and failed doing so.
    I stole everything I could form the Inn's first floor, if you hit the Nobleman with Fists to leave him unconscious, you can pick the money he has right at his side in a chest without getting caught.
    I killed Shank without getting hit, Carbos could hit me and poisoned me, but I used two potions of Healing and survived, all because I made a saving throw to becoming more poisoned!

    I made all the quest in Candlekeep except giving Hull his long sword and the antidote to Dreppin.
    I only exited with 1 healing potion as I had to use two of them when fighting Carbos. Got the third one form Firebead Elvenhair.
    image
    I killed the rogue Ogre with the Belts and badly damaged a Wolf, who ran away when badly hurt (from SCS's more realistic Wolves and Dogs component). I had to use several charges from the Wand of Missiles and spawned 3 gribberlings and one xvart while running, 1.2000 and SCS are too difficult together :/
    I tried to set a trap before Tarnesh 24 times and only succeed in one. Looks like it is really a little bit lower than 10% of chances.
    image
    With sleeping and everything, that took me around 6 days.
    image
    I hid in shadows and attacked, but I didn't backstab him, which was weird since I was standing behind him and with weapons I could backstab him.
    image
    As he started casting Horror, I drank a potion of Clarity to avoid it's effects.
    image
    I started to run after he hit me with his first Magic Missile, I think this is what I did wrong. he triggered the trap that only 'killed' two of his mirror images.
    He followed me with more Magic Missiles while I was trying to take him down with arrows.
    image
    And finally, he killed me with Magic Missiles.
    Shortest no-reload run of my life XD

    Yep, I see it. I think we posted at the same time...
    Oh well, the short no-reloads don't really hurt. I just had another game crash in my run with Grynne, just while she made it into already in BG city. :(
