[Day 96] 11PM. I returned to Balduran’s ship, and attempted to fight the Wolfweres inside. They proved vicious and nigh-invulnerable, but with a potion of Storm Giant Strength, a Potion of Invulnerability, and all of our defensive spells, I was able to fight my way to the cabin where Karoug had...

[Day 70 Continued] 5AM. I tricked the drunken Captain once he got his ale, and got the Sea Charts. I left town for Ulgoth’s Beard at once–if this is truly how I’m going to get my tome into Candlekeep, I don’t want there to be any delay. 9PM. Back in Ulgoth’s Beard. With Mendas chartering me...

[Day 68 Continued] 4AM. The estates of Felonius Gist and Oberan were my next targets, in the center of the city. Luck has not been on my side; if there’s going to be something that can get me into Candlekeep, these are likely my last two chances. Felonius Gist ended up having no valuable book...

[Day 67 Continued] 2AM. Imoen picked the lock to Degrodel’s residence to check this notable estate for any possible tomes of great value…and to my shock, the house was full of Doom Guards and Helmed Horrors. I know they were keeping to their own business, but these murderous monsters are a...

Hey this is awesome. I'm going to have to read in detail from the top. Morrowind was probably the only other RPG I've played as much as BG. My most memorable, long-running character was a Khajiit fighter...I maxed out speed and acrobatics, wore light armor, used 2H sword...was great (does that...

[Day 65 Continued] 7PM. At the Elfsong Tavern, I meet a halfling Brevlik who’s attempting the theft of one of the gnomish artifacts in the Hall of Wonders. He wanted to pay us to do it; I entertained his offer until I realized it wouldn’t get me the treasure I actually wanted… And yes, it’s...

[Day 64 Continued] 10AM. I hear again about Ragefast the troublemaking mage, this time from another mage, Ramazith. It may be interesting to see what these mages can offer me in terms of magical tomes, so I agree for now to help him. I was going to end up paying Ragefast a visit anyway...

[Day 61] 3PM. There doesn’t seem to be much Iron Throne activity in the coastal areas south of Candlekeep. There were sirines, packs of ogres, and a handful of touched hermits, but any mercenary activity that ever may have been here is long gone. So huh! How can I infiltrate Candlekeep? I...

[Day 55 Continued] 4PM. After resting and healing for the day in an inn by the entrance to the city, I will attempt to further disrupt the Iron Throne’s plans. I realize that besides taking out some guards and mercenaries, the financial machinations of the organization are unhindered. I know...

[Day 54] 11PM. After checking in with Gellana Mirrorshade at the Friendly Arm, then Farmer Brun on the road farther north, and fighting through almost a dozen ankhegs…we arrived back at Baldur’s Gate. My goal, simply, is to topple the Iron Throne and destroy their evil machinations, and I’m...

Oh I know, trust me I very much like and appreciate the comments!! Please keep em coming, critique or no. Figuring out what is a difficult challenge vs. an insurmountable challenge is one of the...challenges...with this. Sometimes you really don't know until you attempt the fight once or twice...

Davaeorn wasn't too bad this go-round. If I remember correctly, we either disarmed or set off all the traps right before we aggroed him. He saw Imoen and we got the dialogue, but I think she escaped back out of sight fast enough that he didn't cast anything. That or she scouted him under stealth...

[Day 45] 12PM. I returned to the Druid Grove and recruited Faldorn. I decided I want someone who I know will fight to make sure the Iron Throne doesn’t make its way back to her forest. I’m going to travel with her back to the mine, and she’ll act as a guardian against our mutual enemy… [Day...

[Day 43 Continued] 1PM. We discovered some small holding cells for prisoners. One was Rill, the leader of the slaves–he said he would rally up the other slaves and bribe whatever guards are left alive, and help them all make their escape. I also met a dwarf Yeslick, whose clan this mine once...

[Day 42 Continued] 9PM. We eventually tracked down the Iron Throne outpost–good! We quickly cleared the patrols in the nearby woods, then started our assault as night fell… 10PM. We were able to take out some mercenaries and mages at the gate using mostly Baeloth’s Webs and Fireballs. After...

[Day 39 Continued] 2PM. We pushed on through the forest, slaying spider after spider. Once Jaheira could no longer Find Traps, I decided to just give Imoen, our scout, a Potion of Invisibilty. If she activates a web trap while those arachnids are nearby, she may have some time to drink the...

Yeah I agree, often times the dialogue options I choose aren't great ones; they're simply better than the other options I had to pick from...getting Minsc to attack me for instance. I'm just looking to pick the least bad option at that moment...and it sometimes leads into situations or commits...

[Day 37] 12PM. Overnight, we made the journey up to the Friendly Arm for a specific purpose. Not wanting to tip off any possible Iron Throne spies that I was near Cloakwood, I stayed outside the walls this time…and found Baeloth. The Drow sorcerer had indeed done what I told him and made his...

[Day 33] 9AM. I returned to Nashkel, where I hadn’t seen Berrun Ghastkill since before I entered his mine. It looks like things are truly turning up for Nashkel though, and he had a nice reward of 900 gold waiting for me…just a little more than what it will cost to resurrect Jaheira. But that’s...

[Day 30] 4AM. While traveling near the ruins of the Ulcaster school, we ran into the ghost of Ulcaster himself. He went on about lost knowledge and lost tomes below. Seems like he’s been going on about this for some time. While it would be nice to bring some peace to the lands, this may not be...
