While we hope some functions (like screenshots and reactions) will be available again here eventually, the offer to cross-post in our Tavern no-reload thread is still open to everyone.
Impressive post @Gate70, either:
- because you took copious notes, didn't lose them and are still able to read your own writing weeks later; or
- because you have the memory of an elephant.
I added to a txt file on OneDrive after each session. Screenshots are on my main pc so will only get reviewed at a weekend. & if necessary I could recreate images from the OBS recordings of trio sessions.
The Excel-randomater spat out two more characters, a Wild Mage host and an Inquisitor client. We immediately set about rolling up Meey and Quisling, fought our way out of Candlekeep and gave Shoal the nereid more missiles than she could handle. On to Beregost and Nashkel and after a rest at the carnival realised Meey's chaotic neutral alignment had given us a Larloch's Minor Drain instead of Cure Light Wounds. Quisling was going to be hard to heal.
We trudged around briefly before picking up Greywolf's long sword, and with this equipped we hunted down basilisks. Quisling was curious about how we would deal with them but Meey used one of his protection from petrification spells. Only as he cast a second spell on himself did Meey realise why Quisling seemed concerned - how about some gems instead (surge).
Most normal people would steer away from spells after this, but Meey pressed on and used plenty. After defeating the basilisks and Mutamin we departed, leaving Kirian's gang for later. We'd had the last laugh against the basilisks. Or had we. Yes we had; a travel-waylaying basilisk getting a come-uppance.
Meey was filling in time now, killing half-ogres so Bjornin will donate a +1 shield and picking up gauntlets of weapons expertise for Quisling. Neera had previously escaped our clutches and stayed away from the Friendly Arm Inn so gem surges aren't great for this bagless couple. We'll probably aim for Nashkel Mine next to try and gain a Cure Light Wounds, and the tome of constitution plus Buckley's Buckler are also high on our list of Inquisitor-friendly regeneration.
Session 2
Meey consulted his foolproof OneDrive txt file. Nope, there was no clue there as to how he died. Racking his brains confirmed a lack of pachyderm-like memory. Think harder Meey.
Nashkel mine seemed familiar, as were the Amazons.
This was getting difficult.
Oh let's pretend it's the weekend and see if the main computer has any clues.
Looks like he ran into a trap near Davaeorn that Quisling merrily skipped over!
& a better screenshot from @Grond0
& so ends multiplayer attempt 127 227 (what's 100 attempts between friends), perhaps the only good that came from it was dropping a bunch of screenshots into OneDrive to see if they can be backfitted into the previous trio update.
The lack of reactions is certainly disappointing. If they are trying to limit storage, it should be possible to have an algorithm such that the likes etc get deleted after the post has been up for a certain number of days.
I guess we will see a lot more acitvity in this thread from now on. Every report will be followed by at least 10 messages of "Hey, I like that!" instead of simply hitting a button.
The old reactions are still in the system, and visible on posts. You just can't make new reactions at the moment. That seems more like a feature to be re-added than anything else.
The other thing is I am part of the Trio, so was letting him know I appreciated his effort. I am not just a random viewer of his post.
Of course. My comment wasn't referring to your post, I know the three of you often play together. I was generally speaking (and not completely serious), because this thread usually had long reports with 10+ Likes, and few comments in between, while we now have to write something if we want to let someone know we have read it and appreciate it.
Gate70 : Wirblefop, human male Beastmaster (plus LN fairy dragon familiar) @Corey_Russell : Peel, human male Cavalier @Grond0 : Talisman, dwarf male random - Priest of Talos
Wirblefop had yet another plan (it is both called and comprised of "Unseeing Eye, Kitthix, Windspear"). Could we complete the tasks or would we succumb in the attempt.
First off was the Unseeing Eye then. We made our way through the Pit of the Faithless in a thoroughly expected manner (Peel using the Shield of Balduran, Talisman unable to keep himself out of harms way and getting targeted from time to time, and Wirblefop hiding in the shadows but still getting targeted once or twice). Summons and Talisman made short work of the Unseeing Eye and we crossed off the first part of our plan. Despite Peel having Azuredge and the Improved Mace of Disruption to foil undead he was outscored against these enemies by Talisman who used Turn Undead to pop virtually all comers.
(Wirblefop can't remember getting a nasty dose of greater mummy disease poison and needing to use four potions of extra healing - both Peel and Talisman said he stood too close for too long so I may have zoned out briefly! Edit: on reviewing the recording I can see I took one hit for 26 damage and every couple of seconds I took 13 points of poison damage)
We returned the rod, killed off Gaal and reported back to the temple of Helm. Next on the plan was Kitthix. Wirblefop realised we'd been in that area to pick up the Improved Mace of Disruption so wondered if we'd lost Kitthix. Nobody was sure so off we went, finding a nice fog of war which meant we'd not dealt with Pai'na and her spiders. That didn't take long and we moved on to the final part of our plan - Windspear Hills.
This went well until Talisman took a tumble (yes, he was happy to see a party death mid session) against a group of golems. Peel delayed the enemies as a slowed Wirblefop limped through a doorway and then we used the rod of resurrection as we closed off the battle.
We pushed on and buffed to face Firkraag the huge red dragon. Our summons melted before him and a second set fared as badly but between the three of us we kept pressuring and despite all of us being buffeted and unconscious at one point we were victorious with Wirblefop and his crimson dart claiming the kill. Peel rapidly cleared his full inventory and requested the Carsomyr sword saying it was of no use to anyone else. (edit: recording shows I had already tried to pass the sword to Peel but we were too far apart from each other)
Wirblefop had reached the end of his plan so we took the decision to explore the Planar Prison. It quickly became apparent the three of us all wanted Death Ward on entry as a precaution (having being caught out last time I hosted and ending our run). Wirblefop struggled to keep up with his companions as he tried to collect all loot. We also had a party bicker about how to attack the Warden - Peel wanting to advance from the south and Wirblefop insisting on moving in from the east. Talisman remained impartial but Wirblefop pulled protagonist rank to get Peel to join them.
The warden didn't last too long, and we closed the session with full backpacks and goodies still on the floor. Wirblefop will have at least a week to try and squeeze a few more items into loot haul.
(will add screenshots later if I remembered to take any)
Wow, it's been.. 11 months? And new forums to boot. Guess there's nothing for it but to revive an old (very, very old) run.
Cliff-notes adventure: A F/M/C out of time, SoD part 2
Final BG1 update found here
SoD parts: 1, 2
First BG2 SoA update found here
Alright, let's try and recall what we were doing. Ah yes... about to reach the unpleasant (as in, somewhat boring) part of SoD. Onward! We get the Green Wyrmling and Orcs vs Trolls ambushes, and pull through just fine. Next, the party clears the Forest of Wyrms in short order, a single Nymph and her Confusion handily dealing with the giant mess that is the spider den.
Immediately after, we get the Myconid ambush. Though our Skeleton Warriors courtesy of Aldain and Glint aren't all that powerful, being entirely immune to almost anything the Myconids can throw at them (aside from pure damage) means the outcome is never in doubt.
The Temple of Bhaal proper goes surprisingly smoothly. Morentherene gets daggered, her sister consistently fails her saves against Web, the Neothelid is dumb enough to surface after only two rounds... all good stuff.
We rush through the quests at Bridgefort and bring the hammer (literally in Aldain's case) down on the Crusade, spending a precious Arrow of Dispelling to ensure the Mage there fails in his efforts to blow up the bridge. On to the even less appealing part of the campaign...
Honestly, I'll spare you the almost non-existent details as to how we clear the areas before assaulting Dragonspear Castle. Basically, tactics consist of the same three spells as in BG1: Web, Fireball, Animate Dead (occasionally popping Free Action if we're facing spiders or the like). Though to be fair, we could've just plowed through on pure brawn if we wanted... next time I'll probably refrain from picking up Corwin, she makes the campaign almost trivial on her own. Zhadroth drops easy enough to The Secret Revealed, giving us a Ring of Regeneration we don't need (we've got over 100 healing potions and three healers), and a robe casting Spell Sequencer which further trivializes the campaign (casting time 1 triple Fireball/Skull Trap... nothing survives).
The Shadowy Figure has little to gain by ambushing us (dead-magic zone still means Wands of Fire and Potions of Explosion work). We fail to kill him off before he runs, but it's not like we would have much use for yet another magical short sword.
The assault on the Coalition Camp is easily weathered. We run into a bit of a snag assaulting Dragonspear proper, as Ashatiel (as she is wont to do) immediately bugs out once we enter the duel, claiming we've been dishonourable. Aldain was visible the whole time, no one else attacked her, but meh. We had to plow through a small army of Crusaders to get her, but down she went, and we're off to hell.
Breezing through the pitiful devils (Potion of Clarity/Freedom potion for everyone negates Charm and Hold Person, and Glint wears the Commander's Mail for constant fear immunity for everyone in visual range... maybe Clarity actually gives fear immunity too, I'm unsure), we swiftly arrive at the Hellevator. Everyone gets a full bunch of buffs, but upon confronting Belhifet, Aldain is a smidgeon too late in getting SI: A up, and his buffs go out the window. Eh, it's fine. Everyone else had buggered out of range, so the rest of the party still has their buffs, and Aldain quaffs a Potion of Magic Shielding to ensure he doesn't succumb to a bad status effect. Glint has the anti-fatigue helmet (a beer stein, can't even recall the name) equipped and keeps tossing out Greater Restoration scrolls at Caelar, whilst the rest of the party clears Belhifet's attendant devils before turning on the big bad himself. A True Sight and 5-6 rounds later, it's all over. Literally never lost a run here.
Aldain is besmirched, thrown in chains, but makes his escape! Finally, this run can start for real. Up next: Shadows of Amn, where the true power of the Fighter/Mage/Cleric shall be put to the test! This true power actually being significantly lower (in my opinion) to that of a Fighter/Mage or even a straight Sorcerer, but still, it's something new to try out.
Aldain finishes SoD as a L8/L9/L8 Half-Elven Fighter/Mage/Cleric, with quite an impressive arcane spellbook (which sadly he simply lacks the spell slots to make good use of... but I knew what I was getting into).
Gate70 : Wirblefop, human male Beastmaster (plus LN fairy dragon familiar) @Corey_Russell : Peel, human male Cavalier @Grond0 : Talisman, dwarf male random - Priest of Talos
As threatened last time Wirblefop found a bit of time to rearrange backbacks and made room for everything of value in the Planar Prison. Peel looked like he needed 4 sets of plate mail to nowhere near weigh him down and Talisman equipped Bracers to the Death despite them doing nothing for his armour class. A couple of rests allowed the identification of everything and all that remained was to reconvene and free Haer'Dalis with Raelis and her troupe.
After doing that there wasn't much of a plan. Empty our backpacks at a store. We have a sewer key from Windspear so Wirblefop wonders if Peel fancies pitting his 3 intelligence against mindflayers. We have options such as potions (4 genius, 3 mind focusing) or skeleton warriors. After that, maybe the Planar Sphere.
So we headed into the sewers and a hidden illithid base. Peel duly chimed up about needing potions of genius, and after a bit of prodding decided he would need four of them. What a coincidence, that's how many Wirblefop passed to you at the start of the area. Edit: Has Peel got a secret insight of Wirblefop's plans, is it all a lucky coincidence or had he already noticed the potions!
Talisman used a sanctuaried blade barrier to cull a mage, illithid and umber hulk then we cleared the opening area. There followed a bit of fun as Talisman had his intelligence reduced to 1 (handy hint: Wirblefop was unable to dispel a stun but Talisman somehow indicated to Peel that Alhoon was an undead illithid so a ranged Azuredge strike saved the day), and Wirblefop had his intelligence to 2. Peel was also within a single brain-slurp of death at one stage but we emerged victorious and without any of us perishing. Talisman now has the hammer of thunderbolts at his disposal.
Wirblefop consulted his part-baked plan and headed into the Planar Sphere next. Much fun ensued with Talisman getting stunned a few times, and finding himself (a cleric of Talos) hit twice by a lightning bolt in a narrow corridor. Peel meanwhile switched from Carsomyr to a single handed weapon so he could add a shield to his repertoire against hard-hitting golems. Wirblefop occasionally helped out in melee but often took a detached view to shoot arrows or the crimson dart from a safe distance and this allowed him to direct a screenshot or two.
A discussion on how such large golems unable to navigate narrow corridors gave us much to consider, with the eventual acceptance that they must have been constructed on delivery. Or something.
Our reward for returning Lavok for a final sunrise was a magical wizardry ring. No use to us so we'll sell it.
After Cromwell forged the red dragon scale armour we set off for Brynnlaw. Talisman popped the three meet and greet vampires on arrival but as one had moved we didn't get to speak to our travelling companion and made our own way into Spellhold. Perth the Adept's scroll book got a good going over (at least four fireball pages, three invisibility, and several others before a delighted Wirblefop found Spell Turning. It is equipped and ready to use but whether Wirblefop will remember is another matter.
The Spellhold administrator revealed he was Irenicus and left us to play cat and mouse with Bodhi. Before getting to her we cleared the area - Peel at one point saying he was under Wirblefop's control. Not the case said Wirblefop and we realised a chaos or confusion had our cavalier as a loose cannon. Sometime around here - but not any danger to us.
Talisman thought he'd pop some more undead and expected the lich to survive. It turned out the lich was all up for a pop but the mummies were made of sterner stuff.
We made our way through to Bodhi and Wirblefop used stealth to get to his slayer form. Bodhi rapidly departed as the roles of cat and mouse clarified.
Party at the end of a session with no party member deaths; Wirblefop finally having enough levels for 2 pips in clubs.

Thought It would be fun to do a "randomised" playthrough as a break from my solo Wizard Slayer run, the setup:
- Charname must be randomly generated (There is a website you can use for this: http://bgautochar.com/)
- Item Randomiser mod
- Enemy Randomiser mod
- BG:EE NPC Kit and Proficiency Randomiser mod
After going to bgautochar, I got these options:
I rolled a 4 with my dice, so my chosen character is Diesa Silveraxe, a lawful evil Dwarven Cleric
Diesa went through Candlekeep without too much trouble, she did all the minor quests. Using the Command spell she made short work of both assassins. Together with Gorion she soon left Candlekeep.
After Gorion's death, she was approached by Imoen (in this playthrough she got the Assassin kit, with a * in daggers and single-weapon style). Although she could prove useful, Diesa did not want any good aligned companions and send her on her way. Soon after, she met Xzar and Montaron who accompanied her.
When resting, an Ogrillon ambushed them. After it killed both Montaron and Xzar, Diesa used sanctuary to escape it. She picked up Gorion's items, and fled to the safety of the Friendly Arm Inn.
Once at the FAI she resurrected Montaron, but there was not enough gold to also resurrect Xzar.
On the steps to the Inn, the party was attacked by the mage Tarnesh. Montaron tried to rush the mage in melee, while Diesa used sanctuary. After falling asleep Montaron got killed though, and Diesa then decided to enter the battle via using her command spells. This worked at first, but did not stop Tarnesh to cast a horror spell at Diesa. Panicked she ran away, but this probably saved her life. After regaining her composure, she learned that Tarnesh had been struck down by the FAI guards.
After doing some shopping and resurrecting Montaron again, Diesa set off to Beregost. Sticking to the road, the did not meet any opposition.
In Beregost Marl was calmed, and a book was given to Firebead. They followed the road south out of Beregost towards Nashkel.
Here they got ambushed by a fearsome Displacer beast, it ripped apart Montaron. Diesa was just in time to cast sanctuary again to escape.
Diesa travelled further south, only to be ambushed again! An earth Mephit with friends (including a sword spider ) was waiting for her. Just in time she was able to cast sanctuary again, and escaped these critters. A bit further a friendly nobleman gave her a nice gift, a ring of human influence. Alone she arrived at Nashkel.
In Nashkel she got lucky and picked up a chain mail+1. She sold this to have enough gold to resurrect Montaron and Xzar. After recruiting Edwin, it was time to get some rest in the local inn.
In the inn Neira, a cleric was waiting for them. She tried to cast a spell, but Xzar's Minor Larloch's Drain was able to disrupt her, while Diesa's Command spell made her sleep. Everybody opened up on her with ranged weapons. Edwin used color spray, but hit some of the locals in the inn, causing them to become hostile. After disrupting Neira again, she soon fell. The party took her items and quickly left the inn, before causing any innocent deaths.
At the carnaval Branwen was recruited, and together with her, Diesa travelled east. They met Vax and Zal, who attacked. But before they could throw a punch, they got commanded and killed.
Further east, Caldo and Krumm met a similar fate. Diesa and party were feeling confident at this point, not knowing what danger they would meet next. At the entrance of the cave to the south-west, a Skeleton Warrior was waiting for them. It instakilled Montaron with an ice arrow. Branwen tried going toe-to-toe with it with a spiritual hammer, but got cut down by the Skeleton's 2-handed sword. The party tried to escape, but Diesa ended up in melee with the foe. 2 hits later it was all over.
I must say that the randomisation of enemies makes the game a lot less predictable, and for me a lot more interesting and fun to play. The wild areas, are again wild and full of danger .
At last I've completed my EET Installation.
I had intended to add a couple of stores to Amn, but forgot about them during installation.

At the end of the installation I realised that I had made a mistake in my choice of playing styles. (The BG1 style which lumpse long swords, bastard swords and two-handed swords together as far as proficiency is concerned.
I can live with that. I hope that it doesn't cause problems when I choose NPCs.
I find that I cannot quit the program in Widescreen mode. That's annoying!
I forgot to install a couple of mods that introduce stores.
In addition I have chosen the wrong options as far as use of armour and weaponry is concerned.
Anyone can use anything. Weird: Barbarians can wear plate, but Cavaliers/Clerics can't use bows. Perhaps the mod only affects armour and not weapons. Probably a choice that I made, not understanding the implications.
I will just have to self restrict. I won't have Barbarians using plate armour etc.
On the plus side that mistake will override bugs in some mods that prevented the use of items which should have been allowed.
I have added three mods to my installation: two stores in Amn one for weapons, one for armour; then the Tenya mod.
A pretty good roll. Indeed I think that it may be my best roll ever as a dwarf.
Despite the good roll, being a dwarf, the maximum charisma was 17.
On the plus side, a constitution of 19.
I realised afterwards that boosting Intelligence at the cost of a little wisdom might have been a slightly better distribution of points.
Vanilla dwarves have a maximum of 16 charisma; presumably, somewhere in the collection of mods you have (that, among other things, enables non-human paladins), the dwarf racial modifiers have been changed.
Dwarves have some of the worst chances at high rolls anywhere, with their negative-sum racial stat modifiers and inability to take the classes with particularly high stat minima. Except, of course, you've changed both of those.

I assume that in order to allow dwarven paladins, there had to be a change to a maximum of 17 rather than 16 which in turn would skew the possible total roll upwards by one. It still means no dagger in Candlekeep plus a few other items in the south, but it does mean that she can reach 18 charisma in BG1.
I could never understand the racial restrictions for paladins in BG. There are even images of dwarven paladins on the web.
Maybe I'll change the order of doing quests so that I won't lose out on the items.
Diary of Cavora
I believe that I have the interference of Gorion to thank for being allowed to become a paladin as I kow of no other dwarf who has become one.
I do hope that my actions in Candlekeep have not scuppered the chances of dwarves becoming paladins in the future.
In the infirmary I accepted the gift of a healing potion, but then I stole an additional one. By sheer chance my crime went undetected.
Emboldened by this I then broke into a chest in the inn. This time however I was spotted and had to pay a fine of one gold piece.
This paltry punishment enboldened me to steal a pearl from a nearby chest. Once more I was caught but on this occasion the punishment was more severe.
The guard who caught me gave me a severe whipping which might have been a genuine deterrant but for what transpired afterwards. What followed would perhaps be best forgotten. Suffice to say that it was X certificate.
What followed was sufficient to negate the punishment so I still haven't been taught not to break into other people's chests.
Upon fleeing from the ambush after leaving Candlekeep, I saw the death of my mentor. Afterwards I fled to High Hedge where I was able to help Mellicamp. This raised my reputation somewhat.
After locating some guril berries I was able to help Tonder.
I killed the evil Sonner which led to Tenya joining the party.
I then levelled up after killing a nearby ankheg.
In Ber4egost I helped the Dudley family before killing Silke and Karlat.
I then helped Eltoth and Mirianne.
In nashkel I stopped Oublek from making a detrimental mistake.
I am now in Nashkel Mines with Tenya and with a reputation of 19. Killing Zargos Flintblade furnished me wih a +1 axe. Just what I needed!
We then took Samuel to the FAI.
This brought our reputation to twenty so it was time to hunt ankheg.
After selling some of the shells it was time to buy another good axe.
I've not played much recently other than in the trio, can't remember when I last posted but have had two characters get into Amn from the Sword Coast. I'm enjoying SoA as I've not spent much time there in recent years.
The first of which was Banshee, in November + December
A half-orc assassin. She was trying to recruit a BG:EE party of thieves but failed to get Skie when reputation bumped and the temporarily recruited Eldoth left in a hump. Tiax also took offence at reputation. Banshee ignored all this to defeat Sarevok and make her way into Amn.
Her game crossed between Win PC / Win Laptop / Linux laptop, thanks to cloud saves. The downside is tracking down screenshots at a later stage. So far she only has evidence of her backpack exiting Chateau Irenicus (her partner in crime carrying nothing and in need of a temple), and confronting Faldorn after recruiting some of her party.
Mazzy and Valygar completed the party and Banshee duly cleared a lot of areas before foolishly trying to obtain the Celestial Fury katana from a guarded compound. While stated to be a readily available weapon I often struggle to get it and found myself being given a lesson. With most of the party dead (and Cernd chunked) Jan obstinately stayed alive. He was confused, mirrored and stoneskinned, and blocking the staircase. Banshee tried and tried to escape then ultimately tried to kill Jan to allow an exit but his mirrors survived longer than she did.
The second is Varod, January
An elven stalker. He made a solo run through the sword coast, fully expecting the two dukes to perish at the coronation. A full set of potion buffs meant they both survived and he made no further mistakes.
In Amn, he swiftly recruited Imoen, Jaheira, Minsc and Yoshimo. Minsc and Varod collapsed at the mephit portals, and while Minsc was safe it looked like Varod would fail to survive the chateau - until Jaheira summoned a healing woodland nymph and killed off the portals with a round or two to spare.
Varod put this behind him and after Imoen was incarcerated he added Sir Keldorn to the party. A few jobs down and various items of equipment purloined.
We joined up with Xzar and Montaron whereupon Montaron found us a considerable amount of equipment.
Realising that he was purloining it, we fulfilled our agreement to escort them to Nashkel, picking up Khaled and Jaheira on the way.
We left the four of them at Nashkel and returned to the Beregost Temple where we picked up Isra.
Just north of the FAI we took on three ankheg simultaneously. We survived, but only just, and returned to the FAI to recuperate.
Inside the inn we met a rather rude half-orc called Dorn.
Returning to the ankheg fields we were attacked by bandits and more ankheg. Isra levelled up with the result that we are all level 5.
We headed south-west where wew ran into an unexpected ambush. The enemy's magic users left us totally vulnerable before dying. Fortunately the other assassins had no idea about our presence and we recovered sufficiently to deal with them after some self-inflicted wounds. The direction in which we wandered was fortuitous. If the wandering had been in the opposite direction, the result could have been very different.
Amongst the loot was a very good axe which will replace the one that I was using. It is particularly good against ghouls. My base charisma is now eighteen.
After rescuing Dynaheir she joined us and we went to kill some half-ogres and help Drizzt.
Something unusual happened. We had already killed all the gnolls and three flind when Drizzt asked for our help.
After that we found Dynaheir's journal.
These are my main PC pictures of Banshee, showing collection of monies owed by Tarnor the Hatchetman followed by how to take a lesson at the guarded compound.
& Varod portal-napping, observing Yoshimo special snaring in the sewers and Tarnor the Hatchetman donating generously again.
We had a session yesterday for the first time for a few weeks. That started in the SoD dungeon, as we had finished off Sarevok at the end of the previous session. The BGEE portion of the run started and finished during the period the Forums were inactive and it appears I failed to record any notes (or even screenshots) of progress during that. About the only thing I do remember is being a bit bemused that the random selection of classes was so similar to the previous run - me remaining with an inquisitor and Gate70 updating a wild mage to a (non-wild) mage .
Progress in SoD so far has been pretty smooth. A single PfU scroll allowed Mist to cruise through most of the dungeon before assaulting Korlasz. She quickly surrendered and tried to run away - but wasn't fast enough to succeed in that.
At the Coast Way Forest I typically help the vampire, but Tsolak didn't give an inquisitor the option to do that - so had to be sent packing.
That meant Mist braving the traps on the way to the vampire cave and being poisoned by one of those could have been a problem (given her refusal to use antidotes), but an attempted rest to cure the poison was successful.
We went invisibly to the bridge at the Coast Way crossing, which would have allowed us to just have some peaceful dialogue and leave. However, Mist took the opportunity to fire in some detonation arrows - which killed all the casters in the group. The couple of survivors acted friendly after the discussion with Caelar, but Mist didn't trust them and killed those as well.
We ignored the enemies at the Troll Claw Woods on the way to the Forest of Wyrms. After making our way through various groups on the way to the dragon's cave a rest prompted a cut-scene that I made the mistake of aborting - with the result that Trile's icon went invisible. Consequently we loaded the autosave, which I always find a bit dangerous. Mist did get poisoned by a phase spider in the re-run, but I was conscious of that danger and immediately headed for the nearby map edge in order to cure the poison by travel rather than risk spending time trying (and almost certainly failing) to cure it using Bhaal slow poison.
Inside the temple, Ziatar was quickly suffering from a combined assault and went into sanctuary. Mist wasn't having any of that though and an inquisitor dispel set the half-dragon up for the kill. Mist buffed more fully with protection from poison and a potion of invulnerability, added to improved invisibility, to protect against the Neothelid's psionic attacks - that meant it went down easily as well. Darskhelin was targeted with more detonating arrows and the blast from those killed most of his companions before they could act. We picked up the necessary means to activate the transporter at Bridgefort on the way out - just taking the time during that for a single thrown dagger to sort out a dragon.
Here are our current character records and inventories.
Diary of Cavora
We helped Neera, took her to see Adoy and then bade her farewell. We then joined up with Coran took some boots of stealth from the body of a hobgobkin, and proceeded to the Nashkel Mines. We reunited Rufie with his owner and killed Vax and Zal.
I had an enjoyable run in SoA, details are below although I may have got the post-underdark events slightly out of step in places
Varod thought the Fallen Paladins would be relatively easy to deal with. Minsc and Keldorn could take the heat. Varod somehow got himself involved too and although nobody died there was a lot of party wounded.
At this point Varod decided to mount a rescue for Imoen. Sure, he still had the De'Arnise keep, Windspear, Umar and Trademeet to do but they could wait. Couldn't they?
So, off to scare Bodhi - Tanova almost collecting Yoshimo as collateral damage beforehand and Bodhi taking a good pummelling without having chance to badly wound anyone.
Before heading to Brynnlaw we lightened Yoshimo's load - allowing him his sword together with the Tuigan bow and Shadow Thief armour as the bare essentials.
A trio of vampires were brushed off on arrival at Brynnlaw, and Perth the Adept had a wardstone in his possession. Once that was obtained we headed into Spellhold. Yoshimo switched sides as the Spellhold administrator revealed himself to be Irenicus and mentions that Saemon Havarian as captain of the vessel which brought us to Brynnlaw had plotted against us. After losing Yoshimo and toughing out a dream sequence resulting in the loss of Bhaalspawn powers we re-united Imoen with a scrollcase. One of the spells she learnt was the Death spell and that was frequently used to make good our escape from the maze.
After returning back to Spellhold we casually watched as Lonk the Sane stood on snares previously laid by Yoshimo.
A showdown with Irenicus ensued, and we rapidly found ourselves facing the toughest foes we'd encountered for a while. Keldorn saved against a disintegrate but many lightning bolts were released and we partook in copious damage. After a bit more combat and a fireball Irenicus decided he'd leave us to it.
It, being Yoshimo and his band of murderers. Varod reckoned we'd be fine with Keldorn already having True Sight active but still gulped a precautionary extra healing potion. Yoshimo managed to hide at least once but with his murderers mostly cut down his attempt at a backstab brought a swift and conclusive retaliation.
We decided not to use the nearby portal but instead took a chance of another journey with Saemon Havarian. Once more he failed to deliver us safely, with a couple of acts of piracy resulting in the loss of a ship beneath us and a soggy entry to the City of Caverns. Varod concocted a plan to kill both the Saguaghin king and prince while looting the city before departing. Keldorn meanwhile used a Daystar sunray to kills a group of undead.
Down into the Underdark. Varod knew full well that the Shield of Balduran would help in the beholder lair, as would the Cloak of Mirroring. A rushed entry to kill off the first Elder Orb and accompanying beholder saw three of us susceptible to attack but we killed them before anything adverse occurred.
Then Keldorn equipped the shield and Minsc the cloak. Nothing could stop them.
Until Minsc is held and Varod kicks himself for forgetting to have him use a ring of free action.
Keldorn pushes on to keep the ranger safe, only to get stunned.
Varod is at this point seeing the faultless plan collapse. Keldorn is taking the odd bit of damage and only his ring of Gaxx is keeping him upright. Varod suspects some brain-slurping might occur shortly so we muster up as many summons as we can to intervene. Keldorn remains alive somehow, for a few minutes (although much of that may be while paused).
As the summons take off the pressure Minsc recovers. Varod throws him a ring of free action while Keldorn remains stunned. The rest of the lair is cleared without further incident (Minsc eventually using a helm of charm protection so he could attack a second Elder Orb from distance without constantly being charmed and losing his aim) and Varod is left flummoxed as to what happened to Keldorn - a psionic blast (well that's what the screenshot shows so clearly the answer and demonstrating my lack of recent Amnistic travels).
We emerge from the beholder lair and say that'll do. Although... there is an illithid lair nearby. Perhaps we'll have a quick peek.
Jaheira makes certain to have chaotic commands active on one (Keldorn) or two (Minsc) party members. Keldorn takes a potion of Corey_Russell_Genius to increase his intelligence and we set about the illithid. They are duly flayed and we make our escape having seen a gith party make their escape and leave us to free the remaining humans.
That wasn't so bad, so we set off for the third lair and kill the super-generating kuo-toa prince, and the drow party guarding the exit. Having already emptied the imprisonment trap device and helped an imprisoned mage we've done everything except meet Adalon and enter the drow city of Ust Natha so we do that. Having all three items wanted by the Mother Matron means we have plenty of time for diversions which is bad news for some Ghaunadaur(ians) and Deirex the lich. Varod couldn't be bothered to play the two tavern fighting pits or wait for the Aboleth to communicate but made an effort to get some slaves equipped and sent to the surface.
After leaving Ust Natha and the Underdark we travelled around a few newly discovered areas. Varod took one look at a vampire infested area and decided it looked dangerous but then valour got the better of discretion. While not a particularly large or complicated area it can be problematic (I often run into problems here) and so it turned out with Varod mazed and Keldorn dying. Minsc kept his act together and the post battle rod of resurrection required no Harpers Call to be memorised.
Free to travel as we wish we got the silver sword re-forged, and Gesen shortbow assembled, then messed around for a while until Jaheira was asked to return to the Harper Hold. That didn't turn out too well for them.
Minsc was truly getting his eye in with the silver sword. We had plenty of practice in the Druid Grove and de'Arnise keep - his vorpal sword often claiming trolls when he could beat Keldorn's Firetooth crossbow or Imoen's Death spell. It even allowed a safe ingress to the Planar Prison. Once in we quickly made our way round and exited.
On our way out of the Bridge district Varod noticed a door we had opened earlier and it was time to introduce ourselves to the Twisted Rune. Minsc threw Azuredge at Shangalar while Keldorn used Daystar and Varod emerged from the shadows with his improved mace. Shangalar flopped to the ground.
Revanek was moving around as Keldorn closed in on the beholder. Keldorn quickly finished his job as the rest of us focused on Revanek. Shyressa the vampire was another easy victim and this left Layene the mage isolated apart from the Pit Fiend she summoned. Keldorn fired in a dispel magic and we moved in to end her pain.
Matters were proceeding nicely, so Varod decided to get a group portrait.
The Planar Sphere was next, followed by Umar and then Windspear Hills. A tactical mistake by Keldorn saw him wield the Dragon's Breath halberd and the flaw in this was seeing the red dragon and all it's belongings shatter from cold damage.
Varod had spent much time trying to progress on two fronts. Firstly, Jaheira had stalled her romance with him and secondly the mayor of Umar Hills was refusing to send for help after returning a trinket to Tombelthen. Eventually he tired of this and went to see Bodhi for one last time. She didn't try to abduct Jaheira (presumably due to going to the Underdark too early) and was spiked for good.
We returned to the Underdark exit and were escorted to Suldanessellar. Varod thought we should do a bit of a detour though and went back to Watchers Keep. As he strolled around the entry level he really should have noted the additional statues but thought we'd only have two to fight initially. Two additional casters caught him unaware and he decided to try killing the statue with Usuno's Blade first. As that happened, we split up to attack the casters but one had cast an insect plague. The entire party was caught but we had plenty of extra healing potions so seemed safe. Then Varod was affected by panic - not sure if a spell was cast or his lowly charisma and wounds caused it. Keldorn tried to dispel but the insects prevented that and a few moments later the insects claimed their Bhaalspawn bounty.
By the end I was getting too involved in playing the game (enjoying it!) and not concentrating enough on tactical preparation resulting in several moments where I'd prepared insufficiently. I'll probably have another gap now before returning to BG:EE
Then Varod was affected by panic - not sure if a spell was cast or his lowly charisma and wounds caused it. Keldorn tried to dispel but the insects prevented that and a few moments later the insects claimed their Bhaalspawn bounty.
In an unmodded game Insect Plague itself causes fear on the affected creature (subject to failing their saving throw).
"When this spell is cast by the priest, a hoard of creeping, hopping, and flying insects gather and swarm. This swarm will jump first to the target, then to the nearest allies of the target's, until up to 6 creatures have been affected. Spellcasting within the swarm is impossible (100% chance of spell failure). Creatures in the insect plague sustain 1 point of damage every 2 seconds they remain within regardless of their Armor Class, due to the bites and stings of the insects. Invisibility is no protection. Due to the suffocating nature of the writhing insect swarm, each victim must make a Saving Throw vs. Breath Weapon or run away in fear for 1 round."
I'm sorry for your loss, but it's great to hear that you had fun with your run. And thanks for sharing it with us!
Comments
While we hope some functions (like screenshots and reactions) will be available again here eventually, the offer to cross-post in our Tavern no-reload thread is still open to everyone.
I added to a txt file on OneDrive after each session. Screenshots are on my main pc so will only get reviewed at a weekend. & if necessary I could recreate images from the OBS recordings of trio sessions.
Gate70/Grond0 multiplayer attempt 227, Core rules + unmodded (226)
Meey (male Wild Mage, Gate70); Quisling (male human Inquisitor, Grond0)
The Excel-randomater spat out two more characters, a Wild Mage host and an Inquisitor client. We immediately set about rolling up Meey and Quisling, fought our way out of Candlekeep and gave Shoal the nereid more missiles than she could handle. On to Beregost and Nashkel and after a rest at the carnival realised Meey's chaotic neutral alignment had given us a Larloch's Minor Drain instead of Cure Light Wounds. Quisling was going to be hard to heal.
We trudged around briefly before picking up Greywolf's long sword, and with this equipped we hunted down basilisks. Quisling was curious about how we would deal with them but Meey used one of his protection from petrification spells. Only as he cast a second spell on himself did Meey realise why Quisling seemed concerned - how about some gems instead (surge).
Most normal people would steer away from spells after this, but Meey pressed on and used plenty. After defeating the basilisks and Mutamin we departed, leaving Kirian's gang for later. We'd had the last laugh against the basilisks. Or had we. Yes we had; a travel-waylaying basilisk getting a come-uppance.
Meey was filling in time now, killing half-ogres so Bjornin will donate a +1 shield and picking up gauntlets of weapons expertise for Quisling. Neera had previously escaped our clutches and stayed away from the Friendly Arm Inn so gem surges aren't great for this bagless couple. We'll probably aim for Nashkel Mine next to try and gain a Cure Light Wounds, and the tome of constitution plus Buckley's Buckler are also high on our list of Inquisitor-friendly regeneration.
Session 2
Meey consulted his foolproof OneDrive txt file. Nope, there was no clue there as to how he died. Racking his brains confirmed a lack of pachyderm-like memory. Think harder Meey.
Nashkel mine seemed familiar, as were the Amazons.
This was getting difficult.
Oh let's pretend it's the weekend and see if the main computer has any clues.
Looks like he ran into a trap near Davaeorn that Quisling merrily skipped over!
& a better screenshot from @Grond0
I had technical issues with my computer and am now in the middle of trying to install a Mega-mod EET. "I may be some time!"
On the plus side, all of the posts seem to have migrated ok.
Of course. My comment wasn't referring to your post, I know the three of you often play together. I was generally speaking (and not completely serious), because this thread usually had long reports with 10+ Likes, and few comments in between, while we now have to write something if we want to let someone know we have read it and appreciate it.
Gate70 : Wirblefop, human male Beastmaster (plus LN fairy dragon familiar)
@Corey_Russell : Peel, human male Cavalier
@Grond0 : Talisman, dwarf male random - Priest of Talos
Wirblefop had yet another plan (it is both called and comprised of "Unseeing Eye, Kitthix, Windspear"). Could we complete the tasks or would we succumb in the attempt.
First off was the Unseeing Eye then. We made our way through the Pit of the Faithless in a thoroughly expected manner (Peel using the Shield of Balduran, Talisman unable to keep himself out of harms way and getting targeted from time to time, and Wirblefop hiding in the shadows but still getting targeted once or twice). Summons and Talisman made short work of the Unseeing Eye and we crossed off the first part of our plan. Despite Peel having Azuredge and the Improved Mace of Disruption to foil undead he was outscored against these enemies by Talisman who used Turn Undead to pop virtually all comers.
(Wirblefop can't remember getting a nasty dose of greater mummy disease poison and needing to use four potions of extra healing - both Peel and Talisman said he stood too close for too long so I may have zoned out briefly! Edit: on reviewing the recording I can see I took one hit for 26 damage and every couple of seconds I took 13 points of poison damage)
We returned the rod, killed off Gaal and reported back to the temple of Helm. Next on the plan was Kitthix. Wirblefop realised we'd been in that area to pick up the Improved Mace of Disruption so wondered if we'd lost Kitthix. Nobody was sure so off we went, finding a nice fog of war which meant we'd not dealt with Pai'na and her spiders. That didn't take long and we moved on to the final part of our plan - Windspear Hills.
This went well until Talisman took a tumble (yes, he was happy to see a party death mid session) against a group of golems. Peel delayed the enemies as a slowed Wirblefop limped through a doorway and then we used the rod of resurrection as we closed off the battle.
The warden didn't last too long, and we closed the session with full backpacks and goodies still on the floor. Wirblefop will have at least a week to try and squeeze a few more items into loot haul.
(will add screenshots later if I remembered to take any)
Cliff-notes adventure: A F/M/C out of time, SoD part 2
Final BG1 update found here

First BG2 SoA update found here
Immediately after, we get the Myconid ambush. Though our Skeleton Warriors courtesy of Aldain and Glint aren't all that powerful, being entirely immune to almost anything the Myconids can throw at them (aside from pure damage) means the outcome is never in doubt.
The Temple of Bhaal proper goes surprisingly smoothly. Morentherene gets daggered, her sister consistently fails her saves against Web, the Neothelid is dumb enough to surface after only two rounds... all good stuff.
We rush through the quests at Bridgefort and bring the hammer (literally in Aldain's case) down on the Crusade, spending a precious Arrow of Dispelling to ensure the Mage there fails in his efforts to blow up the bridge. On to the even less appealing part of the campaign...
Honestly, I'll spare you the almost non-existent details as to how we clear the areas before assaulting Dragonspear Castle. Basically, tactics consist of the same three spells as in BG1: Web, Fireball, Animate Dead (occasionally popping Free Action if we're facing spiders or the like). Though to be fair, we could've just plowed through on pure brawn if we wanted... next time I'll probably refrain from picking up Corwin, she makes the campaign almost trivial on her own. Zhadroth drops easy enough to The Secret Revealed, giving us a Ring of Regeneration we don't need (we've got over 100 healing potions and three healers), and a robe casting Spell Sequencer which further trivializes the campaign (casting time 1 triple Fireball/Skull Trap... nothing survives).
The Shadowy Figure has little to gain by ambushing us (dead-magic zone still means Wands of Fire and Potions of Explosion work). We fail to kill him off before he runs, but it's not like we would have much use for yet another magical short sword.
The assault on the Coalition Camp is easily weathered. We run into a bit of a snag assaulting Dragonspear proper, as Ashatiel (as she is wont to do) immediately bugs out once we enter the duel, claiming we've been dishonourable. Aldain was visible the whole time, no one else attacked her, but meh. We had to plow through a small army of Crusaders to get her, but down she went, and we're off to hell.
Breezing through the pitiful devils (Potion of Clarity/Freedom potion for everyone negates Charm and Hold Person, and Glint wears the Commander's Mail for constant fear immunity for everyone in visual range... maybe Clarity actually gives fear immunity too, I'm unsure), we swiftly arrive at the Hellevator. Everyone gets a full bunch of buffs, but upon confronting Belhifet, Aldain is a smidgeon too late in getting SI: A up, and his buffs go out the window. Eh, it's fine. Everyone else had buggered out of range, so the rest of the party still has their buffs, and Aldain quaffs a Potion of Magic Shielding to ensure he doesn't succumb to a bad status effect. Glint has the anti-fatigue helmet (a beer stein, can't even recall the name) equipped and keeps tossing out Greater Restoration scrolls at Caelar, whilst the rest of the party clears Belhifet's attendant devils before turning on the big bad himself. A True Sight and 5-6 rounds later, it's all over. Literally never lost a run here.
Aldain is besmirched, thrown in chains, but makes his escape! Finally, this run can start for real. Up next: Shadows of Amn, where the true power of the Fighter/Mage/Cleric shall be put to the test! This true power actually being significantly lower (in my opinion) to that of a Fighter/Mage or even a straight Sorcerer, but still, it's something new to try out.
Aldain finishes SoD as a L8/L9/L8 Half-Elven Fighter/Mage/Cleric, with quite an impressive arcane spellbook (which sadly he simply lacks the spell slots to make good use of... but I knew what I was getting into).
Gate70 : Wirblefop, human male Beastmaster (plus LN fairy dragon familiar)
@Corey_Russell : Peel, human male Cavalier
@Grond0 : Talisman, dwarf male random - Priest of Talos
As threatened last time Wirblefop found a bit of time to rearrange backbacks and made room for everything of value in the Planar Prison. Peel looked like he needed 4 sets of plate mail to nowhere near weigh him down and Talisman equipped Bracers to the Death despite them doing nothing for his armour class. A couple of rests allowed the identification of everything and all that remained was to reconvene and free Haer'Dalis with Raelis and her troupe.
After doing that there wasn't much of a plan. Empty our backpacks at a store. We have a sewer key from Windspear so Wirblefop wonders if Peel fancies pitting his 3 intelligence against mindflayers. We have options such as potions (4 genius, 3 mind focusing) or skeleton warriors. After that, maybe the Planar Sphere.
So we headed into the sewers and a hidden illithid base. Peel duly chimed up about needing potions of genius, and after a bit of prodding decided he would need four of them. What a coincidence, that's how many Wirblefop passed to you at the start of the area. Edit: Has Peel got a secret insight of Wirblefop's plans, is it all a lucky coincidence or had he already noticed the potions!
Talisman used a sanctuaried blade barrier to cull a mage, illithid and umber hulk then we cleared the opening area. There followed a bit of fun as Talisman had his intelligence reduced to 1 (handy hint: Wirblefop was unable to dispel a stun but Talisman somehow indicated to Peel that Alhoon was an undead illithid so a ranged Azuredge strike saved the day), and Wirblefop had his intelligence to 2. Peel was also within a single brain-slurp of death at one stage but we emerged victorious and without any of us perishing. Talisman now has the hammer of thunderbolts at his disposal.
A discussion on how such large golems unable to navigate narrow corridors gave us much to consider, with the eventual acceptance that they must have been constructed on delivery. Or something.
After Cromwell forged the red dragon scale armour we set off for Brynnlaw. Talisman popped the three meet and greet vampires on arrival but as one had moved we didn't get to speak to our travelling companion and made our own way into Spellhold. Perth the Adept's scroll book got a good going over (at least four fireball pages, three invisibility, and several others before a delighted Wirblefop found Spell Turning. It is equipped and ready to use but whether Wirblefop will remember is another matter.
Party at the end of a session with no party member deaths; Wirblefop finally having enough levels for 2 pips in clubs.
Difficulty: SCS/Ascension Insane (no additional damage)

Thought It would be fun to do a "randomised" playthrough as a break from my solo Wizard Slayer run, the setup:
- Charname must be randomly generated (There is a website you can use for this: http://bgautochar.com/)
- Item Randomiser mod
- Enemy Randomiser mod
- BG:EE NPC Kit and Proficiency Randomiser mod
After going to bgautochar, I got these options:
I rolled a 4 with my dice, so my chosen character is Diesa Silveraxe, a lawful evil Dwarven Cleric
Diesa went through Candlekeep without too much trouble, she did all the minor quests. Using the Command spell she made short work of both assassins. Together with Gorion she soon left Candlekeep.
After Gorion's death, she was approached by Imoen (in this playthrough she got the Assassin kit, with a * in daggers and single-weapon style). Although she could prove useful, Diesa did not want any good aligned companions and send her on her way. Soon after, she met Xzar and Montaron who accompanied her.
When resting, an Ogrillon ambushed them. After it killed both Montaron and Xzar, Diesa used sanctuary to escape it. She picked up Gorion's items, and fled to the safety of the Friendly Arm Inn.
Once at the FAI she resurrected Montaron, but there was not enough gold to also resurrect Xzar.
On the steps to the Inn, the party was attacked by the mage Tarnesh. Montaron tried to rush the mage in melee, while Diesa used sanctuary. After falling asleep Montaron got killed though, and Diesa then decided to enter the battle via using her command spells. This worked at first, but did not stop Tarnesh to cast a horror spell at Diesa. Panicked she ran away, but this probably saved her life. After regaining her composure, she learned that Tarnesh had been struck down by the FAI guards.
After doing some shopping and resurrecting Montaron again, Diesa set off to Beregost. Sticking to the road, the did not meet any opposition.
In Beregost Marl was calmed, and a book was given to Firebead. They followed the road south out of Beregost towards Nashkel.
Here they got ambushed by a fearsome Displacer beast, it ripped apart Montaron. Diesa was just in time to cast sanctuary again to escape.
Diesa travelled further south, only to be ambushed again! An earth Mephit with friends (including a sword spider
In Nashkel she got lucky and picked up a chain mail+1. She sold this to have enough gold to resurrect Montaron and Xzar. After recruiting Edwin, it was time to get some rest in the local inn.
In the inn Neira, a cleric was waiting for them. She tried to cast a spell, but Xzar's Minor Larloch's Drain was able to disrupt her, while Diesa's Command spell made her sleep. Everybody opened up on her with ranged weapons. Edwin used color spray, but hit some of the locals in the inn, causing them to become hostile. After disrupting Neira again, she soon fell. The party took her items and quickly left the inn, before causing any innocent deaths.
At the carnaval Branwen was recruited, and together with her, Diesa travelled east. They met Vax and Zal, who attacked. But before they could throw a punch, they got commanded and killed.
Further east, Caldo and Krumm met a similar fate. Diesa and party were feeling confident at this point, not knowing what danger they would meet next. At the entrance of the cave to the south-west, a Skeleton Warrior was waiting for them. It instakilled Montaron with an ice arrow. Branwen tried going toe-to-toe with it with a spiritual hammer, but got cut down by the Skeleton's 2-handed sword. The party tried to escape, but Diesa ended up in melee with the foe. 2 hits later it was all over.
I must say that the randomisation of enemies makes the game a lot less predictable, and for me a lot more interesting and fun to play. The wild areas, are again wild and full of danger
I had intended to add a couple of stores to Amn, but forgot about them during installation.

At the end of the installation I realised that I had made a mistake in my choice of playing styles. (The BG1 style which lumpse long swords, bastard swords and two-handed swords together as far as proficiency is concerned.
I can live with that. I hope that it doesn't cause problems when I choose NPCs.
I find that I cannot quit the program in Widescreen mode. That's annoying!
I forgot to install a couple of mods that introduce stores.
In addition I have chosen the wrong options as far as use of armour and weaponry is concerned.
Anyone can use anything.
I will just have to self restrict. I won't have Barbarians using plate armour etc.
On the plus side that mistake will override bugs in some mods that prevented the use of items which should have been allowed.
I have added three mods to my installation: two stores in Amn one for weapons, one for armour; then the Tenya mod.
A pretty good roll. Indeed I think that it may be my best roll ever as a dwarf.
Despite the good roll, being a dwarf, the maximum charisma was 17.
On the plus side, a constitution of 19.
I realised afterwards that boosting Intelligence at the cost of a little wisdom might have been a slightly better distribution of points.
Dwarves have some of the worst chances at high rolls anywhere, with their negative-sum racial stat modifiers and inability to take the classes with particularly high stat minima. Except, of course, you've changed both of those.
I assume that in order to allow dwarven paladins, there had to be a change to a maximum of 17 rather than 16 which in turn would skew the possible total roll upwards by one. It still means no dagger in Candlekeep plus a few other items in the south, but it does mean that she can reach 18 charisma in BG1.
I could never understand the racial restrictions for paladins in BG. There are even images of dwarven paladins on the web.
Maybe I'll change the order of doing quests so that I won't lose out on the items.
Diary of Cavora
I believe that I have the interference of Gorion to thank for being allowed to become a paladin as I kow of no other dwarf who has become one.
I do hope that my actions in Candlekeep have not scuppered the chances of dwarves becoming paladins in the future.
In the infirmary I accepted the gift of a healing potion, but then I stole an additional one. By sheer chance my crime went undetected.
Emboldened by this I then broke into a chest in the inn. This time however I was spotted and had to pay a fine of one gold piece.
This paltry punishment enboldened me to steal a pearl from a nearby chest. Once more I was caught but on this occasion the punishment was more severe.
The guard who caught me gave me a severe whipping which might have been a genuine deterrant but for what transpired afterwards. What followed would perhaps be best forgotten. Suffice to say that it was X certificate.
What followed was sufficient to negate the punishment so I still haven't been taught not to break into other people's chests.
Upon fleeing from the ambush after leaving Candlekeep, I saw the death of my mentor. Afterwards I fled to High Hedge where I was able to help Mellicamp. This raised my reputation somewhat.
After locating some guril berries I was able to help Tonder.
I killed the evil Sonner which led to Tenya joining the party.
I then levelled up after killing a nearby ankheg.
In Ber4egost I helped the Dudley family before killing Silke and Karlat.
I then helped Eltoth and Mirianne.
In nashkel I stopped Oublek from making a detrimental mistake.
I am now in Nashkel Mines with Tenya and with a reputation of 19. Killing Zargos Flintblade furnished me wih a +1 axe. Just what I needed!
We then took Samuel to the FAI.
This brought our reputation to twenty so it was time to hunt ankheg.
After selling some of the shells it was time to buy another good axe.
The first of which was Banshee, in November + December
A half-orc assassin. She was trying to recruit a BG:EE party of thieves but failed to get Skie when reputation bumped and the temporarily recruited Eldoth left in a hump. Tiax also took offence at reputation. Banshee ignored all this to defeat Sarevok and make her way into Amn.
Her game crossed between Win PC / Win Laptop / Linux laptop, thanks to cloud saves. The downside is tracking down screenshots at a later stage. So far she only has evidence of her backpack exiting Chateau Irenicus (her partner in crime carrying nothing and in need of a temple), and confronting Faldorn after recruiting some of her party.
The second is Varod, January
An elven stalker. He made a solo run through the sword coast, fully expecting the two dukes to perish at the coronation. A full set of potion buffs meant they both survived and he made no further mistakes.
In Amn, he swiftly recruited Imoen, Jaheira, Minsc and Yoshimo. Minsc and Varod collapsed at the mephit portals, and while Minsc was safe it looked like Varod would fail to survive the chateau - until Jaheira summoned a healing woodland nymph and killed off the portals with a round or two to spare.
Varod put this behind him and after Imoen was incarcerated he added Sir Keldorn to the party. A few jobs down and various items of equipment purloined.
Diary of Cavora
We joined up with Xzar and Montaron whereupon Montaron found us a considerable amount of equipment.
Realising that he was purloining it, we fulfilled our agreement to escort them to Nashkel, picking up Khaled and Jaheira on the way.
We left the four of them at Nashkel and returned to the Beregost Temple where we picked up Isra.
Just north of the FAI we took on three ankheg simultaneously. We survived, but only just, and returned to the FAI to recuperate.
Inside the inn we met a rather rude half-orc called Dorn.
Returning to the ankheg fields we were attacked by bandits and more ankheg. Isra levelled up with the result that we are all level 5.
We headed south-west where wew ran into an unexpected ambush. The enemy's magic users left us totally vulnerable before dying. Fortunately the other assassins had no idea about our presence and we recovered sufficiently to deal with them after some self-inflicted wounds. The direction in which we wandered was fortuitous. If the wandering had been in the opposite direction, the result could have been very different.
Amongst the loot was a very good axe which will replace the one that I was using. It is particularly good against ghouls. My base charisma is now eighteen.
After rescuing Dynaheir she joined us and we went to kill some half-ogres and help Drizzt.
Something unusual happened. We had already killed all the gnolls and three flind when Drizzt asked for our help.
After that we found Dynaheir's journal.
These are my main PC pictures of Banshee, showing collection of monies owed by Tarnor the Hatchetman followed by how to take a lesson at the guarded compound.
& Varod portal-napping, observing Yoshimo special snaring in the sewers and Tarnor the Hatchetman donating generously again.
Mist (female human inquisitor, Grond0); Trile (female elf mage, Gate70)
Previous run
We had a session yesterday for the first time for a few weeks. That started in the SoD dungeon, as we had finished off Sarevok at the end of the previous session. The BGEE portion of the run started and finished during the period the Forums were inactive and it appears I failed to record any notes (or even screenshots) of progress during that. About the only thing I do remember is being a bit bemused that the random selection of classes was so similar to the previous run - me remaining with an inquisitor and Gate70 updating a wild mage to a (non-wild) mage
Progress in SoD so far has been pretty smooth. A single PfU scroll allowed Mist to cruise through most of the dungeon before assaulting Korlasz. She quickly surrendered and tried to run away - but wasn't fast enough to succeed in that.
At the Coast Way Forest I typically help the vampire, but Tsolak didn't give an inquisitor the option to do that - so had to be sent packing.
We went invisibly to the bridge at the Coast Way crossing, which would have allowed us to just have some peaceful dialogue and leave. However, Mist took the opportunity to fire in some detonation arrows - which killed all the casters in the group. The couple of survivors acted friendly after the discussion with Caelar, but Mist didn't trust them and killed those as well.
We ignored the enemies at the Troll Claw Woods on the way to the Forest of Wyrms. After making our way through various groups on the way to the dragon's cave a rest prompted a cut-scene that I made the mistake of aborting - with the result that Trile's icon went invisible. Consequently we loaded the autosave, which I always find a bit dangerous. Mist did get poisoned by a phase spider in the re-run, but I was conscious of that danger and immediately headed for the nearby map edge in order to cure the poison by travel rather than risk spending time trying (and almost certainly failing) to cure it using Bhaal slow poison.
Inside the temple, Ziatar was quickly suffering from a combined assault and went into sanctuary. Mist wasn't having any of that though and an inquisitor dispel set the half-dragon up for the kill. Mist buffed more fully with protection from poison and a potion of invulnerability, added to improved invisibility, to protect against the Neothelid's psionic attacks - that meant it went down easily as well. Darskhelin was targeted with more detonating arrows and the blast from those killed most of his companions before they could act. We picked up the necessary means to activate the transporter at Bridgefort on the way out - just taking the time during that for a single thrown dagger to sort out a dragon.
Here are our current character records and inventories.
Inquisitor 8, 102 HPs, 445 kills
Mage 10, 52 HPs, 119 kills, 0 deaths
We helped Neera, took her to see Adoy and then bade her farewell. We then joined up with Coran took some boots of stealth from the body of a hobgobkin, and proceeded to the Nashkel Mines. We reunited Rufie with his owner and killed Vax and Zal.
I had an enjoyable run in SoA, details are below although I may have got the post-underdark events slightly out of step in places
Varod thought the Fallen Paladins would be relatively easy to deal with. Minsc and Keldorn could take the heat. Varod somehow got himself involved too and although nobody died there was a lot of party wounded.
So, off to scare Bodhi - Tanova almost collecting Yoshimo as collateral damage beforehand and Bodhi taking a good pummelling without having chance to badly wound anyone.
Until Minsc is held and Varod kicks himself for forgetting to have him use a ring of free action.
Keldorn pushes on to keep the ranger safe, only to get stunned.
Varod is at this point seeing the faultless plan collapse. Keldorn is taking the odd bit of damage and only his ring of Gaxx is keeping him upright. Varod suspects some brain-slurping might occur shortly so we muster up as many summons as we can to intervene. Keldorn remains alive somehow, for a few minutes (although much of that may be while paused).
As the summons take off the pressure Minsc recovers. Varod throws him a ring of free action while Keldorn remains stunned. The rest of the lair is cleared without further incident (Minsc eventually using a helm of charm protection so he could attack a second Elder Orb from distance without constantly being charmed and losing his aim) and Varod is left flummoxed as to what happened to Keldorn - a psionic blast (well that's what the screenshot shows so clearly the answer and demonstrating my lack of recent Amnistic travels).
Jaheira makes certain to have chaotic commands active on one (Keldorn) or two (Minsc) party members. Keldorn takes a potion of Corey_Russell_Genius to increase his intelligence and we set about the illithid. They are duly flayed and we make our escape having seen a gith party make their escape and leave us to free the remaining humans.
That wasn't so bad, so we set off for the third lair and kill the super-generating kuo-toa prince, and the drow party guarding the exit. Having already emptied the imprisonment trap device and helped an imprisoned mage we've done everything except meet Adalon and enter the drow city of Ust Natha so we do that. Having all three items wanted by the Mother Matron means we have plenty of time for diversions which is bad news for some Ghaunadaur(ians) and Deirex the lich. Varod couldn't be bothered to play the two tavern fighting pits or wait for the Aboleth to communicate but made an effort to get some slaves equipped and sent to the surface.
Revanek was moving around as Keldorn closed in on the beholder. Keldorn quickly finished his job as the rest of us focused on Revanek. Shyressa the vampire was another easy victim and this left Layene the mage isolated apart from the Pit Fiend she summoned. Keldorn fired in a dispel magic and we moved in to end her pain.
In an unmodded game Insect Plague itself causes fear on the affected creature (subject to failing their saving throw).
"When this spell is cast by the priest, a hoard of creeping, hopping, and flying insects gather and swarm. This swarm will jump first to the target, then to the nearest allies of the target's, until up to 6 creatures have been affected. Spellcasting within the swarm is impossible (100% chance of spell failure). Creatures in the insect plague sustain 1 point of damage every 2 seconds they remain within regardless of their Armor Class, due to the bites and stings of the insects. Invisibility is no protection. Due to the suffocating nature of the writhing insect swarm, each victim must make a Saving Throw vs. Breath Weapon or run away in fear for 1 round."
I'm sorry for your loss, but it's great to hear that you had fun with your run. And thanks for sharing it with us!
Regards,
B.
So ... it was the direct spell effect. Varod failed a save, and that was that.
