Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 2 - continued As L6 cleric/L6 mage, Rissa was looking good as far as XP was concerned, however there were still a few gaps in her inventory that we wanted to fill in ahead of the mines (in particular Aule's Staff, Wand of Heavens, ProUndead scroll, and a...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 2 With Girdle of Piercing, Shield, MIs, Chant, and Sleep/Command, Rissa had all the right tools for tackling the ankegh lair. We even threw in a Barkskin cast for the saving throw bonus against their acid attacks. Who cares about lack of weapon proficiency...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Part 1 We kick off the adventure by summoning Rissa's familiar, purchasing a sling and a medium shield (Rissa's base STR score doesn't allow her to equip large shields), and picking up the antidote potion. Sorry Firebead, I know that you hate those blue icons in...

Rissa, half-elven cleric/mage: Introduction Technical notes: Game version: BGEE 2.6.6.0 (no SoD) Difficulty: Insane Mods: SCS (v34.3) with all tactical and AI components; BG Tweaks (cosmetic changes) Modified SCS components: Giant Spiders (Tactical) Eager to start a new game, I checked my...

I'm sorry to report that Orrin's run has come to an end at Firkraag's Maze. Forced to withdraw under pressure from a sextet of golems, our party ran into the respawning groups of vampires and orcs and got separated. It was a complete mess, we had Cursed Wounds all over, and all we could do was...

Orrin, human archer: Part 20 - A Job for a Ranger? One could argue that single class clerics are better suited to deal with a dungeon full of the undead than rangers, although as things were, Orrin did not yet have a clue of what he's going to face in the Umar Hills. First, we had to...

Hey friends! I just wanted to drop by to say that I'm back and ready to start posting again. In the meantime, I'd like to share with you some serious Cloakwood vibes from one of the places during the trip (sorry for the lousy picture quality, I was unable to figure out how to post larger sized...

Unmodded, with the exception of general Smarter AI, but still pretty fast!

Not sure whether the Ring of Animal Friendship would work, but they were certainly friend-shaped!

Well, the timing is the same, but eventually I had to opt for something less ambitious by staying in Europe and I'm headed to northern Finland instead!

Hey hey, I just wanted to let you know that while I'm slowly catching up with Orrin's progress in SoA, I'll be traveling in the next two weeks and may not be able to post much during that time. So please bear with me, I'll continue the story as soon as I can. Cheers!

Orrin, human archer: Part 19 - There's a New Kid on the Block (continued) The immediate purpose of our visit to Trademeet was twofold - befriending Cernd and dealing with the djinnis. Eventually, we managed to kill two birds with one stone (or, as we say, "two flies with one stroke"), since our...

Orrin, human archer: Part 19 - There's a New Kid on the Block In this session, we start our day by eliminating the Mad Cleric for spilling our morning coffee. There's no need to be afraid of Hold Person spammers when you've got Arbane! Hello there, Xzar! I see you're still wearing that...

Orrin, human archer: Part 18 - You Have Been Waylaid by Enemies and Must Defend Yourself (continued) Having had spoken to Delon already, we decided that our next destination's going to be Umar Hills. Unfortunately, travelling in Amn seems to be anything but straightforward - en route to the...

Orrin, human archer: Part 18 - You Have Been Waylaid by Enemies and Must Defend Yourself The main takeaway from the Copper Coronet was that Viconia needed a shield. Due to her low innate strength, she can only carry small shields - this could seem like a disadvantage, were it not for the fact...

Orrin, human archer: Part 17 - The Priest and the Thief Okay, so where were we? Ah, right, the Promenade! Completely broke after our visit to the A-Mart, Orrin spent the night in the cheapest room available in the Den of the Seven Vales and proceeded to the Slums. He's got a level-up pending...

@Alesia_BH Can you believe that Ribald's been trying very hard to sell this to us the moment we set foot into the A-Mart?!

Orrin, human archer: Part 16 - Welcome to Athkatla (continued) Yoshimo is a welcome sight, since he's got two stacks of arrows and that's precisely what Orrin needs. We agree to help each other out and take a rest before heading into the mephit portal room. Ready? Let's do this! Everyone's...

Orrin, human archer: Part 15 - Big Brother With the heavy use of green ProMagic scrolls, our approach to the final showdown at the Temple of Bhall was undoubtedly lazy but efficient. Here's the full list of our pre-combat buffs: Orrin: ProMagic scroll, Potion of Mind Focusing, ProAcid scroll...
