Me, Minsc and Anomen went to the Temple District to have some fun and the first thing we encountered was a crowd, in the middle of which was a blind preacher guy. I had Anomen silence the whole crowd, including Gaal (so his speech didn't start). They just stood around doing nothing, and then of course Anomen cast Rigid Thinking on Gaal's bodyguard. This "Cultist Guard" was unbelievably tough. Armed with only an ordinary wooden staff, he managed to kill Dawnbringer Kreel, Dawnbringer Alvanna and two Morning Knights singlehandedly. The bewildered guard even killed Gaal (the high priest of the Unseeing Eye must have been Gaaled to get beaten by one of his own minions). After killing all these people, as well as all the peasants and hecklers in the crowd, the guard was almost dead, so I finished him off. Yes, I dealt with the murdererous cultist! I'm a hero! (no wonder I haven't lost reputation yet, hehehe...)
We took a rest in the middle of the bloody street and nobody cared.
When we woke up, Anomen started pestering us about his family business, so I had to go to his house in the Government District. His annoying father wanted revenge on Saerk, and maybe, just maybe, he will get that revenge some day. I would have to think about it, but for the time being I convinced Anomen to forget about revenge, and his father kicked us out of the house.
(I tried killing his father after that. Anomen summoned an Aerial Servant, dominated his father, and had him attack the creature and die. However Anomen left the party so I reloaded.)
Soon after, I found a drow tied to a stake, and people around her were getting ready to burn her. But wait, she was the one who I killed before! Clearly if she could be resurrected once, it could happen again, so I didn't really feel like saving her, but then I thought of some ways she could be useful and I decided to have some fun freeing her.
First, Anomen silenced everyone in the scene, including Viconia. Then, he untied her (while the mute fanatics just stood around), dominated her, and led her away from the crowd. After that, Anomen cast Rigid Thinking on one of the fanatics, who decided to shoot all of the people who had come to watch the drow burn (Anomen fake-talked the commoners/nobles so they wouldn't flee). Once the confused fanatic had killed all of them, he started to shoot at the other fanatics, and chaos ensued, especially when Viconia broke free of the domination, turned hostile, and cast Animate Dead. The skeleton attacked me, and the nearby guards attacked the skeleton. That skeleton was rough, so I had to turn invisible and this caused a Cowled Wizard to teleport right over, and somehow he was able to see through my invisibility (I know he's a mage but I sure didn't see him cast any divination spells). This was only my first violation, so he left me alone. The skeleton then started fighting the guards.
Meanwhile, Anomen and Minsc had to team up to take care of the rest of the fanatics. After all the fanatics were dead, Viconia happily joined the party even though she had just attacked the party. The guards left her alone.
Hey @OlvynChuru! Awesome to see you continue this! I was quite curious as to how Halifex' antics would work in BG2. It's good to see that chaos continues to be sown...
Time for more of the six Halizurex playthrough of BG1.
Now, they came for Thalantyr. The six Halizurexes surrounded him; one of them cast Haste and then they all slapped the Mighty Mage of Beregost until he fell unconscious. A minute or so later the poor guy had his brain punched out by one of his own flesh golems.
Next, the Halisix decided to head north to Ulgoth's Beard. On the way, they stopped at the Friendly Arm Inn. Five of them turned invisible, and the other one gave all the guards outside the inn a good knock on the head. All the guards followed him within the walls, then he exited the courtyard and stood on the drawbridge while the five unseen Halis stood in a line across the gateway, blocking it. The guards had no way of reaching the Hali that they could see, so he just made silly faces at them and turned them into squirrels. Then ALL of the Halis started singing, and the squirrelguards ate each other up.
Later on the trail, they found the paladin Ajantis, who one of the Halis decided to squirrelize. Of course, Ajantis wasn't too happy about this, so he imbued his paws with the power of Helm and sprang to the attack, but then of course he got charmed. The Hali who charmed him asked him to do a favor: clear out those ankhegs that were infesting the area. The brainwashed Ajantis accepted, charged valiantly at a pair of ankhegs and was dissolved by the acid.
Farther north, they found Farmer Brun. The Halis turned him AND all his livestock into squirrels, summoned lots of war dogs and wolves to eat them, and fled even farther north.
They went north beyond even the bridge to Baldur's Gate and found Tenya. She was charmed and asked to not only unequip her flail but also go fight an ankheg. The ankheg was squirrelized to make it a fairer fight. Tenya managed to knock the squirrelankheg unconscious, then she and the ankheg were eaten by wolves and war dogs.
That's it for now. I'm probably going to go back to BG2 next.
So I decided to go back to the Copper Coronet to reconsider Nalia's request. When I got there, I agreed to help out, though by this point the keep has probably been completely overrun. Once I arrived at the city gates, I made Nalia go in the inn. While she was presumably sleeping in the stables, I was already coming up with my newest schemes. First, I had Anomen confuse the weaker two of the three guards at the gate, and they were soon slashed apart by the tougher guard. The town crier was being annoying, but he was situated far from the guard, so I charmed him, then suggested that he walk over to the guard and start spouting his balderdash (actually more like amndash) about how he is actually quite shy and all. Then Anomen confused the crier as well, and the guard killed him, sick of being punched and yelled at. There was also a commoner around; Viconia put down a glyph of warding, and I kicked her out of the party. Once the commoner had been electrocuted to death (with no rep loss), I welcomed her back into the party... for a very short time.
After leaving Viconia in a crypt with an angry lich (silencing her so she doesn't go away), we left Athkatla and went to the keep! Once we got there, Nalia informed me of the whole situation. I showed her a scroll with a picture of a snowflake on it and said that she would stand a better chance at reclaiming the keep if she read the scroll. She did indeed read the cursed scroll of foolishness. Then I told her that I was going to leave but that I'd come back and save the keep; she nodded. I was able to get her to read the cursed scroll of weakness as well. Minsc handed her 11 potions and I laughed at how she could barely move. Then I killed Nalia and went somewhere else, leaving the keep to the trolls.

That's all for now. Sorry for the long hiatus!

This thread inspired me in how I play the game and to get an account here and write my own adventures. Thanks.
