@Alesia_BH I'm sorry to hear that, especially since you've already made it through the Palace! We were certainly looking forward to catching up with Alastria in Athkatla. Bummer. Anyway, she's been great fun to follow and I hope that at least she's made your layovers more digestible! Enjoy...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 9 With the BG1 endgame looming ever closer, we booked a room in the Cloak and Stars inn and tried to assess the remaining hurdles from a barstool. The final battle didn't concern us that much, it was the Undercellar and the Ducal Palace that could be...

Thanks for showing us how it should be done, with a good plan, rock solid execution, and thoughtful resource management. On a side note, in the past (with older installs) I had seen the phasers teleport across the entire map and that's why I'm usually pushing my characters to clear the area in...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 8 Alagar's first trip to Baldur's Gate was fairly brief. He paid a visit to the Thieves' Guild to pick up the DEX tome as well as the complimentary Oil of Speed and Potion of Firebreath (available from containers in two of the lobby rooms). And then, we...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 7 After the farce in the Spider Forest, I was keen to make up for it by delivering a more sober performance in the Cloakwood mines. We did reasonably well, although the session marked the beginning of a peculiar streak of bad rolls that's been accompanying...

I feel you - Rasaad really is the Noober of BGEE and the Neeber of B2EE. Have you ever noticed how he even sticks close to them in Nashkel and in Trademeet? Anyway, until that mod hits the shelves, I'm inclined to make it a tradition of sacrificing him to ensure the success of the run, Wicker...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 6 After retrieving the Cloak of Non-Detection from the first Cloakwood area, we moved on straight into the Spider Forest with the aim of reaching level 9 at 110k XP ahead of the mines. Alagar prepared a set of traps, rested until nightfall, and buffed with...

Alagar just departed the Blade and Stars inn after spending several nights there, waiting for his last Bhaalspawn power to materialize, and is on his way to confront Slythe. He's left a card for Alastria, telling the staff to expect her anytime soon - "High boots, biker jacket, purple apparel, a...

And for corporate soldiers (which is often one and the same thing)

Clearing out the bandit camp with a melee arcane caster at BG1 levels should be made illegal, lol! That's a rough itinerary! The only thing that's missing is a solid 8 hour time zone difference. In any case, bon voyage (both to you as well as Alastria)! By the way, she's looking super cool!

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 5 Having arrived into the bandit camp undercover, Alagar first scouted the surroundings, raided the chests by using a Potion of Master Thievery (mainly to obtain his first Potion of Firebreath), and carefully placed all of his four snares around the area. I...

Maximum style points!

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 4 Alagar worked his way through the Nashkel mines under stealth, removing the first set of traps at the bridge and bypassing the ones behind the kobold shaman by sticking to the southeastern wall. Once inside Mulahey's cavern, he prepared two snares by...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 3 For thieves, Durlag's Tower can be a low hanging fruit. Erdane has a full stock of potions of Master Thievery and Perception, the battle horrors can be avoided with stealth, while fast backstabs, a bow, and a set of traps will take care of the ghast...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 2 We opened the agenda for the second session of the run by collecting the Girdle of Piercing and reporting to Landrin that she's free to cancel the rest of her booking with Bentley and return back home to Beregost. With Melicamp in the bag, Alagar...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Part 1 While setting out from Candlekeep with Dreppin's antidote is comforting enough, knowing that you will soon be faced with Zargal's archers and Landrin's spiders, obtaining the Potion of Clarity from the inn is like hitting a jackpot. It provides a free pass...

Alagar, halfling bounty hunter: Introduction Technical notes: Game version: BGEE 2.6.6.0 (no SoD) Difficulty: Hardcore Mods: SCS (v34.3) with all tactical and AI components; BG Tweaks (cosmetic changes) Modified SCS components: Giant Spiders (Tactical) For the purposes of this run, the...

@WiseGrimwald Looking good there, Wise! Wishing you smooth sailing through Chapters 5 and 6 and onwards! @Alesia_BH Thank you and likewise! On a separate note - when deciding between passion fruit margaritas and populating shield and belt slots, passion fruit margaritas are the safe option...

Hey there, hi there, I mainly wanted to wish everyone a happy new year, however I’ll also use the opportunity to provide you with a brief update on my no-reloading activity in the past weeks and months. The truth is that the action has been far from intense and the bad news is that my latest...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 13 - continued I’m not sure exactly what I wanted to achieve with the druids, but it certainly didn’t work out. I mean, we still won the fight, without taking a single point of damage, but this fight should have been over in few rounds – instead, it ended up...
