The Thieves of the Coast, an SCS No/Minimal Reload playthrough with a band of rogues

Dear reader, welcome to yet another "Let's Play" thread by my hand. This time the story is about Lenno Luckyhand, a mischievous but certainly not evil Halfling Swashbuckler.


image


Lenno was given his surname by the Candlekeep Watchers he often invites in the evenings to have a few ales with him and to play some cards at Winthrop’s Inn. Unlike the Watchers, Lenno himself isn’t a big drinker, but he’ll make sure that his friends’ cups are never empty. At the end of the day, the gold always goes to Lenno, much to his inebriated friends’ amusement. Little did they know, when they named him Luckyhand, that Lenno wouldn’t rely on luck in order to prevail. Let us say that Swifthand would have been a more appropriate surname for our little Swashbuckler friend.

Thanks to his buoyant and carefree nature and to his charisma, Lenno is generally well-liked with Candlekeep’s residents and visitors alike. He would get into trouble time and again for not complying with a task or for vexing the priests with fellow mischief-maker Imoen, but never anything serious.

Lenno’s high CHA is reflected in an attractive appearance, a disarming smile, and most of all his vivaciousness that makes people love his company. His high CHA doesn’t make him a strong leader though. He’s undisciplined, he’s more likely to turn his back on problems than to try and solve them, and he can be very indecisive and capricious. These traits are aspects of his CN alignment. He gives little thought to either law or morals. Laws are artificial, uncalled for and gratuitous rules of the game of life according to Lenno. He doesn’t see why he should abide by them. When it comes to morals, Lenno certainly isn’t immoral. He is no ruthless power-hungry climber that strives to fulfil his ambitions at all costs. He also wouldn’t inflict physical suffering upon others unless his own physical wellbeing is at stake. On the other hand he has no scruples about larceny, smuggling, or swindle. As a matter of fact he finds those activities quite thrilling.

Lenno has below average WIS, and can therefore be naïve in his dealing with others. His naïveté (susceptibility to what others tell him), combined with his CN alignment may make him commit good or even evil deeds at times or otherwise act in ways that aren't normally like him.

He has always dreamt of forming his own band of likeminded adventuring scoundrels, so that’s what he hopes to accomplish upon leaving Candlekeep.

The idea of this run is to play a full party, using rogues only throughout the entire trilogy. I’ve edited a number of NPCs in both games. Kagain (Fighter/Thief), Viconia (Cleric/Thief), Aerie (Bard), and Valygar (Fighter->Thief) have become eligible party members. I’ve kitted many of the game’s original rogues, but that’s something you can read about if/when I recruit them. I’ve also kitted Kivan into a Stalker and I’ve decided that even though a Stalker is technically not a rogue, he is eligible as well since Clint Eastwood Kivan, especially with the Stalker kit, feels sufficiently roguey to me.

I’ve read the AD&D Complete Thief’s Handbook for inspiration, not only for Lenno's sake, but also to flesh out the NPCs. The book for example mentions six basic motivations for being a rogue: fame (or infamy), greed, justice, loyalty, survival, and whim. Another motivation could be laziness. Lenno will mostly be motivated by whim (he’s a bit of thrill-seeker) and to a lesser extent by fame (he’ll like it if people recognize him as ‘that dashing young Swashbuckler you’d like to be your friend’) and by laziness. Other NPCs will have different motivations, which will make for interesting party discussions. For example Yoshimo’s basic motivation will be (geas-incited) loyalty, whereas Kagain is obviously motivated by greed, and Kivan by justice.
The book also gives a number of sample rogue archetypes: Artist (who engages in thievery for the challenge or aesthetic pleasure), Desperado (outlaw), Folk Hero (‘Robin Hood’), Kleptomaniac, Mobster (raised in crime), Professional (mercenary), Street Urchin/Victim of Circumstances, Trickster, and Vigilante. The book’s definition of Trickster is a bit broad to my taste, it encompasses both Charlatan and Thrill-Seeker archetypes. I’d like to see these two as separate archetypes. Again, different archetypes will more or less go with different game characters. Kagain and Yoshimo will be typical Professionals, Viconia is a Desperado, Coran could be a Folk Hero or Artist, Kivan and Valygar make great Vigilantes, Alora could be the party’s Kleptomaniac, Eldoth and Jan Jansen Charlatans, Montaron a Mobster or Street Urchin, and and Lenno will be a Thrill Seeker.
The characters’ different motivations and personalities will play a part in the course the party takes. The NPCs won’t be Lenno’s minions; they’re going to have a say in things.

Self-imposed rules:

- Rogues (and Stalkers) only
- Minimal reload (i.e. no-reload until Charname dies for the first time)
- NPCs may be resurrected, the first time with no consequences, but subsequent resurrections will have them lose one point of CON each time.
- Core difficulty, with max hit points for all creatures in the game.
- If a party member leaves or is dismissed, they receive a portion of the party’s gold proportionate to the number of party members at that time. They also get to keep their equipment.
- Once Lenno has party members to take into account, decisions on where to go, how to deal with a given situation etc, shall be taken democratically. If no logical RP outcome can be found, I’ll roll the dice. (Props to @Lemernis for this approach.)

***
When he got up this morning one of the Candlekeep priests told Lenno that he was to leave Candlekeep with his foster father Gorion. The priest also gave him some spare gold from the old sage to buy some equipment from Winthrop for their trip. It was a meager sum though, so Lenno decided to increase his funds a bit by visiting the inn’s guest chambers. It yielded him a bit of extra gold, a potion of clarity, a silver necklace, a star diopside gemstone and a flamedance ring. Lenno couldn’t fence the jewellery or the gem to Winthrop. He would surely be found out. Thus he kept the items in his pockets for now, so he could sell them elsewhere. From the gold he had acquired he bought himself a suit of studded leather armor, a buckler and three sets of throwing daggers, Lenno’s weapon of choice.

He then left the inn and made a round to do a couple of chores and to say his goodbyes. Hung-over Fuller, one of Lenno’s drinking buddies, was particularly generous, rewarding him with an enchanted dagger for merely fetching him a quarrel of crossbow bolts. At the Infirmary he talked the Priest of Oghma into giving him a free healing potion, and he stole another from one of the cabinets. In the Bunkhouse an assassin tried to kill our young Swashbuckler for motives unbeknownst to him, but much to his own surprise Lenno reacted quite astutely, taking out his throwing daggers and, after some running around, slaying his foe with them. It was only after the battle was fought, that Lenno took the time to think about what had happened. It made him feel uneasy, in spite of his carefree self. He hurried to Gorion, hoping to leave Candlekeep sooner rather than later. Gorion seemed even more eager to leave, so that’s what they did.
They didn’t get very far however, as they were ambushed in the evening by a huge man in heavy armor and three minions. Gorion urged Lenno to flee, and tried to take them all on. He slew two ogres and put a priestess to sleep, but the many spells he cast at the armored figure didn’t stop, let alone fell, the latter. Things started to look grim when Gorion proceeded to attack the warrior with his dagger. Before Lenno could do anything to distract him, the brute slew Gorion with his mighty great sword.
Lenno fled the scene and remained hidden all night without resting. The area held other dangers than the warrior and his priestess, namely Gibberlings and wolves, but they were taken care off with his throwing daggers.

The next morning Lenno’s emotional state was comprised of a mix of grief for the loss of his foster father and excitement about the prospect of exploring the wide open world without the confining presence of Gorion. The least he could do, he decided, was to return to Candlekeep, not to stay but to tell the Keeper of the Portal what had happened, and to arrange for Gorion’s burial. On the way he ran into Imoen who had somehow snuck out of Candlekeep to follow him. He welcomed her company, at least for the time being.

    The rogueish style party sounds kind of thrilling! :) Good start, i'm eagerly waiting for the continuation. (When will i have time to play, or write my own playthrough, when there's so much awsome work to read?)

    Well thank you :) I'm also quite thrilled with the concept, both the gameplay challenges it may pose and above all the roleplaying.

    I agree that the forum is full of interesting stuff, and I expect that my time will be about equeally divided between reading/commenting on here, writing the playthrough and actually playing the game. In other words, I suppose progress will be slow...
    I love reading people's playthroughs so I'd encourage you to write and share one if you can make the time for it.

    Love the portrait and the character. Who knew halflings could be so good looking? :-) I thought dwarves were ugly as a general rule, but after the handsome dwarves in The Hobbit movie, I am throughly convinced that short races can look good to our human eyes, too. Now if only there was a handsome gnome portrait. Ha!

    @lunar Hehe, thanks. I like searching for nice portraits :) It seems a bit photorealistic compared to the game's NPC portraits, but the smirk is just perfect for the character...
    As to appealing shorties I think that portraits of good-looking male gnomes and female dwarves are hardest to come by. I only ever found one suitable BG portrait of a female dwarf and she had an unattractive expression and sideburns that would make Neil Young proud....

    I wish you luck. From the bottom of my heart I wish you finally make a run till the very end of the trilogy! I know how it hurts to lose your character, I used to often come through it in the past. So, no more than a success may you have with Lenno!

    He seems to be a fine chap indeed. Nice backstory, nice picture, nice stats, nice concept. I like it all.

    And I would dare say that playing a whole party is of course what BG is made for. Solo runs can be fun, they can be hard or easy based on the character build, they can be a useful experience but one thing for me is certain: party members interactions and relations, group strategies, classes/kits RP-ing is the shining diamond of BG.

    @Blackraven‌ I want and I will play Proesis in BG2:EE that's for sure ! But first I think that yes, I'm going to play through the second game with my overly min/max Blackguard (19/19/19/19/15/19 total initial roll of 102 !) but I feel like uninstalling SCS for the moment, even simple guards are kicking 3.5 APR and destroying me. Plus, with Baeloth unavailable in BG2:EE, I have only think of Edwin as my mage and thus I'm going to lack in the magic department (I will maybe EE:Keeper Baeloth at some point, I really liked him). I don't know, it's quite hard but I won't give up (and I hope I won't give up on SCS either, or I will never have the knowledge to try it on no-reload with Proesis). Maybe I shouldn't go as low as 1 reputation at level 9 after Chateau Irenicus with mundane equipment ...

    Now concerning your run, I was impressed by the quality of your roleplay, not only for your Charname, but for your entire party aswell (when Eldoth wants to play a few songs for example). There is a realistic feeling attached to your run, you don't hesitate to push Montaron and Eldoth in the light which is very refreshing and your setup is amazing ! What's mod makes the conversation between the party and Bentley happening ? And the kits look very nice too !

    Why didnt you leave Xzar in the Friendly Arm Inn? You could RP that he stayd back to find info on Nashkell or that he travels to Nashkell alone
    Blackraven
  • BlackravenBlackraven Member Posts: 3,486
    @MacHurto, I didn't want to make ik too easy for Lenno to acquire Montaron. Their mission (getting to Nashkel and investigating why the Zhents were suspected of involvement in the iron crisis) was quite important to Xzar and Monty. And Xzar is like the leader and spokesperson.
    Anyway the problem with Xzar and Monty has solved itself in a very bizarre way, as I'll explain later today, or tomorrow...

    @Blackraven, I love it when people write mini-novels based on their runs. I never get tired of reading the story again from a new Charname's point of view, one created by someone else's imagination.

    ^

    @BelgarathMTH This. You pinpointed exactly how I feel about reading peoples' playthroughs (especially the RP parts). You mentioned once that you also wrote a number of BG-novelizations. I scrolled through your discussions, but couldn't find anything. Do you have them online somewhere?


    Your written chapters are very enjoyable to read, and you make great use of screenshots from the NPC Project to illustrate your story, weaving them in seamlessly.

    Thank you so much for your appreciative words and for taking the time to read. I know these detailed journals aren't everyone's taste, so it's nice to see people interested in them. I'll try to keep it up.

    @Blackraven‌ ,

    There's one of my runs posted here, starting a little more than halfway down the page:

    http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/14574/baldur-s-gate-series-and-icewind-dale-series-minimal-reload-challenge-spoiler-warning/p11

    It's hard to follow, because there are three or four other people posting their runs simultaneously. I kind of like this new trend with people posting their runs in their own single threads, because it makes it so much easier to follow one particular run.

    Anyway, I played Todek the Barbarian, leader of the Nordic Warriors. I didn't journalize all of it, but I did journalize a lot of it in character. It was one of my favorite and most fun runs.

    I have a couple of old journal runs buried in the archives over in @CharlestonianTemplar‌ 's and @SapphireIce101‌ 's old minimal reload thread at the Bioware boards, but I just dug around over there, and I couldn't find my best journal from, I think it was Summer 2012. I did it in the style of a Star Trek captain's log.

    I look forward to more installments here in yours.

    Heh, the company your char keeps result in such bad situations..but awesome stories! Go get Safana or is Tiax in Beregost, his summon ghast ability is really overpowered for this stage of the game (a pre-summoned ghast can easily kill Silke even with scs)

    Yeah, I did that yesterday on a no reload SCS Assassin run and it was very easy, she got Held after the first hit and the Ghast teared her Stoneskin appart in a few rounds.

  • BlackravenBlackraven Member Posts: 3,486
    Thank you @lunar, Lenno is learning the hard way that not everyone can be relied upon :)
    I'll definitely be going for Safana, but I'm not sure about Tiax (although what you said about his Ghast sounds very appealing...)

    @lunar, @CrevsDaak:
    But do you have the ghast attack before or after Silke goes hostile? Because I think in my setup (SCS v21) she insta-casts a string of protective spells at the start of the battle (Stoneskin, Mirror Image, Shield, Improved Invisibility) that would make it difficult for the ghast to hit her.

    It's different if you just attack her when she's neutral, but I won't do such a thing unless there is a very good RP reason.
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    The Ghast has 16 or better THAC0 and 3 APR, Hold effect on Hit bypasses both Mirror Image and Stoneskin, so it should be a good tactic. Draw your party away, she might uses AoE spells also.
    BlackravenlunarJuliusBorisov
  • BlackravenBlackraven Member Posts: 3,486
    Thanks @CrevsDaak, I might use this strategy.

  • lunarlunar Member Posts: 3,460

    Summon the ghast and park it near Silke. So when combat starts it will attack her immediately. Ghasts are ferocious melee combaters and it will score a hit no matter her buffs and a failed save will be the end of the thespian extra ordinaire.
