*Dust-blowing noises* *...dust-blowing noises continue* Well, it looks like I’m going to pull this thread all the way from its peaceful resting place on Page 7 to the front for a moment. As I’ve been doing with Baldur’s Gate since it’s been out, I go away for a little while, come back, go away...

[Day 89] 1PM. I journeyed to, and found, Sendai’s Enclave. While originally I may have wanted to speak to Sendai to get an idea of her motives and more of the context in which that these southern Bhaalspawn operation…but it looks like she is only out for blood. So be it then, this is my...

[Day 88] 4AM. I had gone back into the Shadow Realm from the Abyssal Realm last evening and fought through the fiends that came our way, eventually encountering and slaying a Shadow Dragon. The battle was fraught, to say the least. Alorgoth looked to be trapped in the realm with whose masters...

[Day 85] 3AM. I located the Temple in the Forest of Mir. An illusion of Gorion tried to torment me–and it picked a good time, with Imoen just dying. But we did find that Nyalee that we were told about by the slave woman in the Marching Mountains. She did indeed possess the ability to destroy...

Hi everyone, I know I disappeared for a bit. I had some personal things going on...which may continue for the next few months. Nothing bad, just has not allowed a routine of BG-playing. I still haven't picked up playing again--it's overdue I switch playthroughs anyway--but I had a few...

Jaheira also screamed at me and called me an idiot in front of the Order of the Vigil. Very disappointing! Found what I wrote about that incident in Nashkel all that time ago, haha:

I like to think my character rolled his eyes too at Jaheira being Confused and killing the Ust Natha pitmaster, like it was somehow her fault. And why are we trying to impress these drow anyway? Back in Nashkel against Neira or Nimbul, Jaheira got panicked and ran around town, and I remember I...

Thanks. I like to think of Candleblood as the type of person that's embarrassed of his hometown friends and would abandon them for cooler friends as soon as he gets famous, haha. Plus he always has to feel like he's the smartest, most serious guy in the room....so Minsc with his inane comments...

[Day 82] 3PM. I found a way to Gromnir, and had to slay the mad tyrant. He died, but my entire party was slain in the battle. Two battle mages remained alive, and it took some unique strategizing and swift resurrection-casting to finally kill the pair. I had to flee to different areas of the...

[Day 81 Continued] 5PM. Once I understood how to leave my Pocket Plane (and re-enter, for that matter), I realized I am no longer in the Forest of Tethir. Instead, it is Saradush: a besieged city full of Bhaalspawn ruled by a murderous madman. It seems the fates themselves have forced me into...

[Day 80 Continued] 1PM. With our final battle directly in front of us, we spent hours making camp in this despicable place: resting and re-learning spells. Finally, it was ready to go forward. Not knowing exactly what was ahead of us, we casted Chaotic Commands, Resist Fear, and Protection from...

[Day 80] 1AM. I saved the Tree of Life, and killed Irenicus. My companions and I have grown in power surely, and my battle with him beneath Suldanessallar was trivial. I had summoned a Deva, but once Jaheira had cast Nature’s Beauty and permanently blinded him, it was barely a battle...

[Day 79] 12AM. I encountered Demin as she was defending herself from Irenicus’s demons. The way to break the Palace seal–and to access Ellesime and Irenicus–is by summoning the Avatar of Rillifane, Demin believes. I must gather artifacts for a ritual in the Temple: a talisman, a golden cup...

[Day 76] 4AM. We continued to rest until early morning the next day, then began our assault on the vampire lair. I did not know what type of resistance to expect, since we had slayed many of the vampires only days ago. However, it turned out to be very heavy. Bodhi must have called all of her...

[Day 69] 10AM. I set off for Greater Amn, lobbying my allies for assistance. I visited the de’Arnise Stronghold, Rasaad at his Heretic Temple, Trademeet, the Dryad Queen in the Windspear Hills, and the Druid Grove. While it was good that I visited them, it was admittedly disappointing that none...

[Day 63 Still Continued] 9PM. I fought my way back to Adalon, and she teleported us near the exit to the surface. More skirmishes with drow and Kua-Toa, until I actually found the exit to the surface. It’s been roughly a day and a half after I took the portal out of Spellhold. Chapter 6...

[Day 63 Continued] 11AM. The group of drow foreigners we impersonate came to Ust Natha “to seek refuge” apparently…but we are the ones who must show our worth here to gain it. I’m not sure of the reason that this party from Ched Nasad would be here. Perhaps on a holy war to slay surface elves...

[Day 62 Still Continued] 10PM. We discovered some elaborate soul-trapping device within the rocks. I decided to leave it alone, knowing not much good can come of it and not looking to cause more of a ruckus than we need to. [Day 63] 12AM. We battled through some Kua-Toa and more drow, and...

[Day 62 Continued] 6AM. As I gathered myself and walked about the now-desolate facility, I met again the other traitor, Saemon Havarian, who had used some magic to bypass Spellhold’s wards. He offered me the way out, to sail me to Suldanessallar, apparently the destination where Irenicus’s...

[Day 61 Continued] 4PM. As we dug our way farther out of the asylum, Bodhi eventually confronted us. I prepared for a battle, but then…I transformed into the terrible Slayer creature, a Avatar of Bhaal. I lost control of myself and tried to chase Bodhi down, as my companions fled. Ah! My...
