Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 13 After unloading Renfeld at the Harpers’ HQ, Rissa pays a mandatory visit to the Temple of Oghma, where she offers a symbolic donation of 100 GP as a compensation for the Potion of Invisibility that she’s picked up among the tomes. It’s not much, but after...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 12 - continued En route to the Bridge, we’re intercepted by Suna Seni. Not that it was unexpected – which is why Rissa has been transitioning between the areas exclusively under Sanctuary or Invisibility. She took the time to prepare her spells and summon...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 12 Apart from the all-important Chaotic Commands, L5 divine spells have brought some interesting offensive options onto the table. Slay Living is among them - and enemy clerics are the perfect targets. When Rissa had initially received the invitation to the...

@Alesia_BH I mean it's like he's almost asking for it, right? And while we'll never really be able to compete with a Talassan, Rissa's been keeping regular Lightning practice sessions to stay in shape.

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part11 This is to provide a quick update on Rissa’s handling of the Copper Coronet. Buffed with Potion of Mind Focusing (a leftover from the previous day’s spell scribing session), Spirit Armor, ProEvil, Shield, Remove Fear, Strength, and MSD*, she stormed the...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 10 By selling all the excess loot from Irenicus’ dungeon we ended up with a balance of more than 7k. We could either start spending the gold right away or, depending on Rissa’s readiness to face Kalah, storm the circus tent first and get more bang for our...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 9 - continued We skipped the Plane of Air, promised the dryads to deliver their acorns, raided the furniture in Ellesime's room, and moved on to second level of the dungeon. Rissa has gained a level, which surprisingly turns out to be in her mage class - I...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 9 BG 2 Technical Notes: Game version: BG2EE 2.6.6.0 Mods: SCS (v34.3); BG Tweaks (cosmetic changes) Difficulty: Insane Modified SCS components: Giant Spiders (Tactical), Smarter Mind Flayers (Improved), Improved Fiends and Celestials (Hardcore) Omitted SCS...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 8 - continued As soon as Rissa got teleported to the Thieves’ Guild, she quaffed a PoI and hurried towards the Temple of Bhaal in the Undercity. She paused in front of the gate, dressed into her robes, equipped her Girdle of Piercing, and checked her...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 8 The BG1 finale ended up being not much more than a rushed succession of fights completed under with a single set of buffs, as Rissa steamrolled through the Undercellar and the Ducal Palace and did not stop until Sarevok lay dead at her (ogre) feet. But...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 7 Before heading into the big city, we made sure to wash away the sins of our past with gold at the FAI temple, raising Rissa’s reputation to 15 in preparation for the shopping spree at Sorcerous’ Sundries. After buying several potions and an entire stack of...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 6 For Rissa, who’s already reached her level cap, there wasn’t anything at all to be gained in any of the Cloakwood areas and so she just rushed through under Invisibility (plus Free Action in the spider forest) all the way to the mines. She didn’t even check...

Let me take a wild wild guess:

@WiseGrimwald It's the rabbit familiar that true neutral protagonists get via the Find Familiar spell. In the EE version, the scroll is dropped by Nimbul, though Rissa has picked it as one of her two starting spells.

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 5 - continued As it was, the first opportunity to do so came shortly thereafter thanks to Lamahla's amazons. Rissa's buffs were Shield, ProEvil, Strength of One, MIs, II, and DuHM. As I was not sure whether II can prevent enemy Hold Person targeting (on...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 5 Raiding the bandit camp proved to be profitable enterprise and Rissa's now rocking a brand new Archmagi Robe. She claimed that splashing so much gold on a single piece of clothing has nothing to do with vanity if it actually improves your saving throws...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 4 Orrin’s assault on the bandit camp in my previous run had been a messy affair. Consequently, I was feeling a bit uneasy when Rissa arrived there with Raiken. Do we have a good plan? Will it work? What can go wrong? These were some of the questions that kept...

@Serg_BlackStrider So Charisma it is - many thanks, Serg! If I were Algernon, I would pack my things and run before all the future adventures learn about this, lol.

@Alesia_BH Interestingly enough, I would never even consider using the spell were it not for the original Alastria, so thank you! Oh yes, Chill Touch and Fireball-spitting jellies, that was certainly something to behold! By the way, her remake's looking fierce! Regarding the EE treatment of...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 3 Rissa breezed through the Nashkel mines in shorter time than it has taken me to put together this brief update. She reached Mulahey's sanctum under Invisibility, prepared a Skull Trap, summoned her skeleton warrior, buffed with ProUndead, Remove Fear...
