I really like your name for the Ankhegs, Chitterbugs. It really fits them better and has such a nice sound to it. I found myself chanting it to myself and chuckling.
Ahahaha thank you for the latest update, Tilly, this one genuinely made me laugh out loud. "The bear chases Tilly like she has a pocket full of marmalade." and "Minsc picks up Khalid, not wanting to inadvertently disrespect Jaheira's lady mounds" = pure gold!
But what's with the Rasaad hate? Naked monks in the moonlight need love too, y'know!
Well done!!! The gnoll fortress on SCS is no small feat, especially with a party of 4. Lovely storytelling too, extremely tense reading when we're given Tilly's viewpoint on their situation, you really feel for the poor girl travelling with Mr Emotional Monk and all bluster and bravado Minsc. I can see the big man simply throwing everything he's got at those gnolls in a blind rage...swords, halberds, tree trunks, Tilly...
Oh, and "THEN RASAAD IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!"...I take it all back. Clearly the Gods themselves are against him, hate away! ;-)
Really fun reading! Keep them coming! I love your dry sense of humor - the more things go wrong, the funnier you get.
I've also noticed that problem you mentioned with the combat music getting stuck in BG:EE 1.3. It's very, very annoying. The only reliable way to get it to stop once it's stuck is to save and restart the game program.
The only mods I'm running are Tweaks and NPC Project, so I wonder if the problem is related to those? I've seen a few other posts from people with the same problem, though, so I think it's in 1.3 - it never happened before the update. Bummer.
I like your writing style Tilly. It has a certain chaoticness to it that I find very refreshing. I feel I'm reading your personal notes and hesitations rather than a polished playthrough for the public.
Good idea to go through SCS with your preferred class first. My current Shapeshifter is doing fairly well but as a fervent Thief-player I do miss Stealth and Find Traps a lot... Good luck with your artful Dodger
Aw thank you. It's a mixture of silliness and franticness, really. X3 There are some well written narrative stories here. Mine is not quite like that... Not with all the fretting over hp rolls! c:
A late reply this is, but I just finished reading about all the incarnations of Tilly Wigglebottom/Thistlebottom and I greatly enjoyed all the adventures, even though I've lost count of the amount of Tillies I've read about. However, they all come with the same quirky style from a Skunk who's style I like. And like @BelgarathMTH said, your stories get funnier the more gets wrong. Actually, all come with the same quirky style isn't really accurate, the amount of sillyness, witty remarks and colourful descriptions increases with each Tilly, so that's a wiggly, eh good - bottom, eh thing .
