Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Ninth Update: Sayuka and Crookspur We move to Sayuka, though don't do Overgrowth quite yet, instead facing down with the druids - before that, we rest with Khapa Tea, which is always helpful for any swamp encounters. I'm pretty sure it also helps against dank spores...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Eighth Update: South-Western Exploration, Hasongo, and Neketaka faction quests The party sails to the southwest. There's a scripted event based injury we take from some languafeth before clearing out the Ruins of Amira's Roost - the battle to the east offers some...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Seventh Update: Southern & Eastern Exploration, Motare o Kozi, Old City Southern exploration goes quite well - all in all, very uneventful: An early visit to Motare o Kozi is in order, since I want to pick up Nerian's Ward and now know how to reliably do it without...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Sixth Update: Neketaka, Fort Deadlight and Dunnage Before sailing away, we rest using Hylea's Bounty, and I make the mistake of not removing the captain's banquets from the other party members food slots. As a result, we lose 3 banquets for basically no reason... not...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Fifth Update: Maje Island Aldare picks up Edér (as a Swashbuckler), frees Riggere and deals with the Kraken Eye room situation peacefully, reaching level 2. We recruit an Oracle (Ancient/Psion) and a Herald (Shieldbearer/Troubadour - wanted to test out the latter...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Fourth Update: Sun in Shadow With our last bit of cash, we upgrade our armor pieces, buy dragon meat dishes and the ebony spider figurine. Now, we jump into Sun in Shadow and make our way towards Thaos, which is not much of a problem. For our final rest, we use a...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Third Update: Chapter 3 In Elmshore, we only take a few minor battles, including another one against an Adragan, though this time, we are prepared (because I know about this one) - Approaching with the charm-immune DoC first, luring our foe back and activating Mental...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Second Update: Finishing up Chapter 2 Back to Defiance Bay - we deal with the remaining quests in Ondra's Gift. Shades in the lighthouse are now much easier to deal with, as we have access to huge amounts of fire damage with Maneha and the summoned firebrand sword...

Aldare, Priestess of Wael - First Update: Assembling our Party First things first, we pick up Hiravias to replace our custom druid and travel to Dyrford Village for Grieving Mother, replacing Kana Rua. Now, to Defiance Bay, where our first target is recruiting Pallegina. During her recruitment...

Introducing Aldare, Priestess of Wael - Chapter 1 Here's the promised second run, played on PotD. The plan is to play a shortened version of both games (for PoE1 that means: No bounties, no Endless Paths, no White March content except for recruitment purposes; For Deadfire, this means: None of...

Waban, Final Update - Endgame Ashen Maw is easy enough - pretty much everything here is heavily weak to frost damage, and we have a TON of that with both Tekehu and Vatnir, plus some of our gear from BoW. Because taking on the dragon provides us with a free legendary upgrade, I decide to settle...

Waban, Eighth Update - Beast of Winter, Berkana's Folly and Crookspur BoW until the portal was relatively fine - we had some difficult battles against polar bears, but Sundering Blow, Rekke's level 19 ability, is quite useful against high armor enemies such as these: Not exactly worth it as...

Waban, Seventh Update - Midgame questing, bounties and exploration Now that our party is complete, there's lots we can do. I decide to start with Tikiwara, both the sidequests and the faction quest - double tap is enough to kill the engwithan titan, the only slightly dangerous thing here are...

Waban, Sixth Update - Fighting the Messenger All right, here's the big battle. First things first - two skulls. The Messenger appears to be level 16, not 14 - not what I wanted to see: Stats and resistances/immunities: Immunity to frost was something I expected, but still bad for me since...

Waban, Fifth Update - Old City, Hasongo and Eastern Exploration We successfully cleared the Old City - Waban had a rather easy time against the giant cave grub, as always with a cipher in the party - using its weakness to intellect afflictions to dominate it while taking down the grub burrows...

Waban, Fourth Update - Bounty Hunting and some minor quests I decided to go for a bunch of bounties next: Mostly boarding battles, including quite a few at my current level, but I felt this party was very well set up for those. Tekehu is very valuable with his party friendly AoE power here, and...

I have never bothered to learn the ship vs ship combat system, but I do like the quick and direct boarding combat, so I do hunt down ship bounties, but always immediately pick the boarding option.

Waban, Third Update - Principi-Business and Southern Exploration We encountered no trouble in Fort Deadlight, I just started the party by stealthing around and blew up the cembalo. For Dunnage, I took the street battle seriously, using moonwell and priest buffs & heals plus puppet master on one...

Waban, Second Update - Neketaka A rather short update (though the playtime was several hours long): We did all the non-violent quests in Neketaka, only leaving open the entire Old City, A Glimpse Beyond and Eulogy for the Dead. The only combat encounter during our entire stay, which brought us...

Waban, First Update - Assembling our Team Well, this run almost came to a premature end during the final battle in the arena sub-battle. I went into this fight without giving it much thought. It seems like the months of not playing Deadfire made me forget that it can be really challenging - in...
