Even though I only had couple of hours to spend in Reykjavík on this trip, taking the mandatory picture was on the top of the to-do list while in town :) Regards, B.

I just wanted to stop by to say hello to everyone! Even though I haven't been posting lately, I've been doing some off-thread work with a totemic druid in a party set-up to celebrate my best friend's comeback into the game after several years by doing a parallel run. For the record, I still...

It never really occurred to me that GoI could be capable of stopping Spell Thrust. The sole reason why Iona initially picked it as her fifth L6 was to counter Malison, but you prompted me to test it. The result is that, in my install, Spell Thrust gets foiled by GoI, however the globe does not...

Add in the autopause and my constant inventory management issues and it's starting to look like we could have a lot of action packed fun, lol! But yeah, we should totally think about it. And who knows, maybe we could even put together a full party here!

Interesting! I've had gnome C/T on my mind for some time now, so maybe we could run them in tandem.

So far, I've been comfortable skipping Sunfire in Iona’s book. Without the MR bypass, it’s basically a stronger Fireball that goes over MGoI/GoI, but so does Death Fog, which anyway has always been her main tool against casters. That said, having no offensive spells at L4-L5 (I disregard...

I source everything that I've been using lately from DeviantArt and the artists there - after a quick search you should be able to find couple of styles / artists that you might like.

That's quite an achievement, Alesia! And I'm glad to see that leather-clad girl make it all the way from casting Color Sprays at ogrillions to the Throne - well done! No, sorry, what I actually wanted to say is that it's pretty impressive, even for a player of your caliber. After all, we’re...

Note on Iona's game: I wasn't comfortable with continuing the reload run through ToB knowing that I had given Iona a rather sloppy and sweaty victory over Irenicus in Hell (especially after the two unsuccessful attempts before that). She deserves better and so I fired up her last SoA save and...

@Alesia_BH Congratulations! We're proud of you (and of Alastria, of course)!

Iona, Human Sorceress: Final update I'm sorry to report that, in a turn of events which have become somewhat symptomatic for my play, I've lost Iona before I could get up to speed with her progress. When I find the time, I often find myself struggling to prioritize posting over playing...

@Alesia_BH Fantastic work! Wishing Alastria strong finish!

Iona, Human Sorceress: Part 14 Shortly after arriving in Umar Village, Iona got to work tracking down the mimic. She was running ProAcid and II, and it seems the latter must have prevented the mimic from appearing at all, forcing us to blast it with Fireballs instead. For reference, unless...

Iona, Human Sorceress: Part 13 Renal's instruction was clear enough - "Go and eliminate Mae'Var!" Running SI: Ab and SI: Di on top of her standard set of buffs, as well as her newly acquired Fireshield: Blue and Spell Shield, Iona sneaked in through the back door and opened with Death Fog. At...

@Alesia_BH Thank you for posting on your ToB progress in such detail - it's like a Lonely Planet to Iona!

Iona, Human Sorceress: Part 12 Before heading out to Trademeet, Iona stopped by the Graveyard District and dropped the Crypt King in his confined tomb with Death Fog and MMs. The lack of Lower Resist was noticeable, but nothing we couldn't handle with enough time and spells. Selling Namarra to...

Iona, Human Sorceress: Part 11 We began the session in the sewers beneath the Copper Coronet by collecting the ingredients for Lilarcor - first, we recovered the severed hand with Invisibility while Iona's Stoneskins absorbed the damage. With the ring secured, we moved on to the kobolds...

I almost didn't survive either, lol, thanks to that clumsy use of Firebreath potion. I'm positive that the final BG1 battle is actually easier for solo characters than it is for a party, because it allows you to leverage the Boots of Speed for movement advantage (of which you only have one...

Iona, Human Sorceress: Part 10 - continued Storming the pits in the Coronet proved to be relatively straightforward. Running Stoneskins, Spirit Armor, and II, we started by eliminating the first batch of guards with Burning Hands and Fireball. Ione blinded the winter wolf in the arena and...
