Quick Note on Alena's Game: Hi, all. I've run into an awkward situation and I'm not sure how to handle it. We're basically stuck right now, due to a bug and an unexpected interaction. The incident occurred during a waylay. We were traveling invisible, when we were ambushed by the orc group. We...

Thank you for your support, Borco. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. To be honest, I’ve felt a little guilty about the write ups on this one. I’ve been taking a super-lazy approach. I could definitely make things more informative and fun. I’ll try to do that going forward. Anyhoo, once again...

Do you know the Busta Rhymes song Woo-Hah! I Got You All in Check? I like picturing the Amazing Oompah doing a little celebratory dance to that song with a slight lyrical change: “Oompah! I got you all in check!”

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Trademeet- A Bounty Hunter at Heart I wish I could say I'm using Alena's team to its fullest potential. I'm not. We're getting by, and we're getting by comfortably, but we could be doing better- much better. Critical self judgments aside...

This is when I knew he was on the level. Anyone can make money, fortune willing, but this is the mark of someone who understands what they're doing:

I learned by reading. Having a background in mathematical modeling helped. My original field was evolutionary biology, not economics, but there's a lot of overlap between those disciplines. In both cases you're studying competition under limiting resource, and at the level of abstraction...

Awesome! Glad to hear you're back in action, and enjoying yourself :)

The only thing I have to complain about is that I have nothing to complain about. Once upon a time I was in academia, but for the past fifteen years I've made my living in the stock market. I picked stocks for two four year periods, around the financial crisis of 2007/2008 and around the Covid...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: The Umar Hills It's been ages since I've partied with Minsc and Jaheira. I no longer know if their quest can be delayed, or for how long. And so when Minsc started nagging us about Delon and his village, heading east to the Umar Hills...

I'd be surprised if GoG added a mod to the instal package. Maybe it's a new version? What has changed, exactly?

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Suna Seni- You're So Vain There have been times in this run when David's v35 changes have seemed precision tailored to counter tactics I've posted on. The most notable example was the bump in Kysus's hit points total, placing him at a level...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Watcher's Keep Level 1 So far Alena and her team have muddled through with non magical weapons. Sure, Minsc has Lilacor, and we have magical ammo, but we're primarily rocking bows and blades we found in the Chateau. With our first major...

Agreed. A bug is a possibility. If you’ve ruled out other explanations then that’s worth investigating. I’ll try to confirm that it’s working properly in my install when I get the chance

It works against any illusion, including Mirror Image, Blur, Projected Image and the like. Unlike spells from the Divination school it is not stopped by SI: Div, making it uniquely useful. It activates approximately once per round. Detection is probabilistic, with the number of points in Detect...

She’s reckless with that Color Spray, isn’t she? I did have a close call there once, years ago, so I know what you mean exactly. These days I usually avoid triggering that encounter until I’ve reached L5. Btw, thanks for the tip on EE NPC removal options. I think I’ve got it now!

Bummer, wise. I hope you'll get things squared away soon. :)

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: The Circus- Oh, the Irony Life has a way of teaching us the lessons we need at the time we need them. So it was for me in the big top this evening. A chance event made me rethink the subject we've been discussing, the EEs added content. I...

Alena, Halfling Priest of Lathander, Canon Party Run: Slaver Quest, Part 2- How 'Bout We Stop Talking About Neera M'kay I was planning on posting in the evening, not the afternoon. But I think it's time that we switched topics, and the best way to do that is to get back to the action. Let's do...

Awesome. Congrats on becoming my new best friend

Me when I’m expecting Suna Seni and get Neera instead
