Well, great question!! The short answer is I have two points in Flail/Morning Star and only one in Axe. The long answer--which I love giving so thank you haha--is that yeah originally I had the axe +1 in the main slot because that's the intuitive thing to do. In the photos you can see it was my...

[Day 25 Continued] 6PM. I stayed in camp for a day, resting and recovering from the march out here and the fighting beforehand. I truly began my information gathering by the hobgoblin side of camp; in particular, I was interested in poking around the hobgoblin tanner’s tent. Possibly I could...

[Day 21] 10AM. We traveled east of Larswood, and were attack by several powerful spiders and ettercaps throughout the morning. While we were attempting to take out an ettercap, Kagain was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning. A freak accident–but it had been storming for some time. As we...

[Day 19] 4AM. After resurrecting Neera, identifying our assorted magical treasure, and spending the night at the Red Sheaf, I did eventually drop in on Officer Vai. I was extremely skeptical at first…but looks like she’s just paying gold for bandit scalps. But fine, she doesn’t seem corrupt. I...

[Day 15 Continued] 11PM. Exploring the surrounding rocklands, I know I have a little time before needing to get to Beregost. As of right now, no one other than Xan knows that we’ve stopped the source of the trouble in the mine, so Tranzig should be caught completely unaware when we catch up to...

This is one of the issues with bouncing around from a ToB Berserker to a level 2 Nashkel noob. In the back of my mind I still kind of figure that Fear isn't that bad...my party has so many different protections, and low saves, and at least one immune-to-fear spellcaster has resist fear...

[Day 14 Continued] 4AM. I found Prism, the hapless, wanted artist. He just wanted to sculpt, but was under constant fear of violence from this rather nasty bounty hunter Greywolf. Well, I couldn’t bear to just leave this poor man to Greywolf’s mercy, so I decided to defend him from the imminent...

[Day 13 Continued] 9AM. Awakening, we started seeing what information could be gleamed in the town. I met Rasaad the Sun Soul Monk, and visited the store, the temple, and the bounty collector. Unfortunately, the morning darkened as a local insane person named Minsc tried to kill me, and it...

[Day 8 Continued] 3PM. I met the witch of Umberlee that the fishermen were complaining about. She is only a child, and I believe her story of the fishermen abusing her mother’s divine power. I will have a word with them.. [Day 9] 5PM. We kept getting run off by ankhegs that wouldn’t stop...

[Day 6 Continued] 10AM. I’m inquiring about the town more–seeing if *anyone* here has information I can use. I keep hearing about the mad cleric Bassilus and his crimes against nature. Could he have some connection to the pack of villains that ambushed us? However unlikely, it doesn’t even...

Yeah I was dreading the encounter. The only strategy I had at the time was to try to interrupt his spellcasting with the magic missile wand. In the attempt where I died, I was able to interrupt his first spell, but I mis-timed the second one. I waited for him to begin casting before I gave the...

[Day 5 Continued] 12PM. I arrive in Beregost from the west at noontime. I’m going to get the lay of the land, but I’ll be certain to dig in about any local happenings with mercenaries, bounties, and the like. I’m thinking it’s likely that Gorion’s killers passed through Beregost at some point...

[Day 0 Continued] 8AM. I make a last roundabout of Candlekeep, realizing a threat may be moving in, and knowing I’ll need as much advice, help, and information as possible–Gorion doesn’t seem to want to spill much himself, but maybe others know a thing or two? I should be ready to go in an hour...

Thanks for the comments....and let me tell you, after playing vanilla for literally decades, I'm still afraid of SCS. I know all about it from reading forums, etc. I've played infrequently enough over the years though that I'm not quite bored yet. Like I said, maybe if I can do a no-reload (or...

Hahah for sure. Restartitis can affect anyone! But I can say with good certainty I'll come back to Ethal Jo one day to finish him up. I started him in January '21, played until April, then took a long pause until October to now. In order to MANAGE my Restartitis (and not try to cure it), I tell...

Baldur’s Gate 1 Prologue [Day 0] 7AM. Gorion, clearly troubled, tells me to make haste for a journey that the two of us will be going on. I know this is no holiday or leisure trip–something is drastically wrong here. I know I must do as Gorion asks and start to steel myself for whatever...
