Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 25 - Into the Dragon’s Maw The hum of the Pocket Plane steadied around them, its silence a stark contrast to the screams that still haunted Conan’s ears. Imoen had wasted no time while he was away; parchments and inkpots lay scattered about her stone desk, her hands...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 24 - When Steel Meets Fire Conan returned to the tavern, the scent of smoke and spilt ale thick in the air. The barkeep straightened as he entered, eyes wide with something close to gratitude. “With that mad half-orc gone, the city’s got a fighting chance,” he said...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 23 - Separate Roads, Shared Blood The trial ended in silence and sweat. Conan wiped his blade clean on the stone and gave a grunt that might have been approval. “It seems clear enough,” he rumbled, voice like a grinding wheel. “They’ll hound us until this ‘Five’...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 22 - Prophecy of the Stranger The portal spat them out not into ruin, but into song and torchlight. Elves crowded the marble steps of Suldanessellar, voices raised in celebration. Banners stirred and the scent of green things filled Conan’s lungs after the blackness...

Quick Recap of SoA as Conan Compared to my BG1 playthrough, where I had only 22 screenshots, I ended up with just over 100 in SoA. Considering the length of the game, that’s not much of an improvement. I often had to improvise in writing to fill the gaps. I completed most of the quests, with...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 21 - The Choice of Two Worlds Silence held, heavy as breath before a scream. Then came the light—slow, burning, dawn poured into black. From it stepped a figure: tall, terrible-beautiful, armored in thought, wings of living fire. Conan, who had faced gods and beasts...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 20 - Hell’s Reckoning The world went white, then black. Silence. Conan’s body felt as if it had been torn apart and hammered back together, every bone aflame. He groaned, forcing his eyes open. The ground beneath him was no stone he knew, but scorched obsidian...

Keep up the good work with Helmuth! Being hurt is part of the job as long as they prevail!

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 19 - Ashes of Suldanessellar Conan lowered the glowing mace, breath like thunder in the crypt. He turned to his companions. Drizzt’s blades dripped black ichor, his chest rising fast. Imoen leaned on her staff, pale but unbroken. For a long moment, the barbarian...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 18 - The Price of Debt Conan left the Copper Coronet, leaving Imoen and the others behind. He found Aran waiting at the Docks, pale and smiling. “Conan. Good to see you again.” “What do you want of me, thief?” “Vampires,” Aran said simply. “They bleed us dry...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 17 - The Barbarian and the Ranger The Underdark shook behind them. The gates creaked as the dragon’s key fit home. Cold, stale air gave way to a thin breath of freedom. Conan and Imoen did not waste time — they ran, boots hammering the winding passages, the glimmer...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 16 – To Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of the women Step by step, the path wound downward through black stone halls that seemed endless, guided by the gnomes’ crude, scratchy map toward the dragon’s den. Imoen hugged her...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 15 – Underdark, Part I: Drums in the Deep The ship never made it far. A storm split the sea like a god’s hammer, timbers shrieking, masts snapping. Conan dragged Imoen from the wreckage as waves crushed the last planks into splinters. They staggered ashore on a...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 14 – Prison Break (Side note: Conan went solo during this part of game, but for the sake of story telling, Imoen will be with him) The prison was no simple gaol — it crawled with monsters dredged up from nightmare. Imoen froze first, finger trembling as she...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 13 – Chains and Blood Conan was deep in his ale at the Five Flagons when a messenger slunk up, whispering that the Shadowmaster himself demanded audience at the docks. Word was, the thief-lord knew where Imoen was, and had the means to get Conan there. Sounded like...

Didn't know those statues were based on XP. But I don't think it would matter for my plays, as I use this SCS mod which always puts max/hardest mobs on insane: ~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #0 #8040 // Tie difficulty of level-dependent monster groupings to the difficulty slider: 34.3

It's actually a lot of fun writing the story. Back in the day when we used to play paper DnD with @Borco when we were kids, I always enjoyed being DM and making stories But it takes a bit time and it's so easy to get lost in writing. For part 7, I had 12 screenshots ready. In the end, after a...

anyone knows how Bigby's Crushing Hand works? on wiki it says this: A Saving throw vs. Paralysis must be made, with a -4 penalty, or be rendered Unconscious for 12 seconds. yet my saving throws were like this. How is it possible that Conan became unconscious (as seen on one of the screenshots...

Conan, Barbarian Dwarf: Part 12 – The Tombs of the Dead The Five Flagons roared with laughter, tankards clashing, boots stomping. At the center of it all, Conan locked arms with a sailor twice his size, veins bulging, faces red with ale. The crowd bellowed for the “First Warrior,” and when the...
