Note: I have added some major additions Journal of Helmata It came as quite a shock to me when Helm appeared to me in a vision and said that his wish was that I and my half-sister Helen would accompany Theo, a dwarven Berserker/Thief and do all that we could to stop him following an evil path...

A new run which I intend to proceed with as far as I can as I like the concept. The protagonist is a Chaotic Neutral fighter/thief who is completely unpredictable, sometimes showing kindness, at other times ransacking peoples' homes. Helm is hoping to turn him from evil and to do so has sent...

Ours wasn't the best of games, but we did end up as top of our group so we shouldn't complain, though people are doing just that. We have a lot of excellent players, but we don't yet have a team! That could change of course. The Slovenians were over the moon as they have gone beyond the group...

As I looked at the party, I realised that Burke would only be accompanied by Dynaheir. I am therefore considering starting again with a party of three who would be accompanied by Minsc and Dynaheir, the final sixth spot being taken by other NPCs on rotation. I'll be watching England v Slovenia...

Journal of Burke Disaster Struck. Two inocents accidentally killed in th iron throne. [I used a tactic that I have often used in the past, leaving skull traps near one set of steps, goping upstairs and then luring the leaders downstairs. Some of them usually go down the stairs to the traps and...

With a party I usually have a cleric ready to cast silence and a mage ready to cast web. In my game that is usually sufficient to disable the mages, who were badly hurt by fireballs. In my current run the protagonist is a berserker, so he went berserk before fighting melee with his venomous...

I enjoy reading the stories of your game. Like you, I can write a reasonable story at the start, but I end up dropping it as the game is too enthralling to slow down to write well. Journal of Burke I should have kept Dorn a bit longer, but I did keep him long enough to kill Simmeon...

Journal of Burke The mine was one of the most difficult parts of the journey so far, though the battle against Davaeorn was straightforward. Branwen was so badly hurt in the battle against Hareishan that she had to retreat and use a healing potion. After the battle, we returned to the surface...

Journal of Burke In Cloakwood we also killed Centeol. In transit we were attacked by wyvern and Xan was killed, as were the wyvern. We went to get him raised and Coran wasn't satisfied with the ones we killed, nor by the subsequent ones that we killed. It was only when we wiped out a cave...

I'll be getting a new computer soon so may well change my installation. Journal of Burke Not being a paladin, I had no qualms at all about attacking the bandits without warning. This enabled me to kill Taurgosz Khosann without difficultty. I donned his armour and gave the ankheg to Branwen who...

Journal of Burke Continued Upon meeting Xzar, Montaron, Khalid and Jaheira, at hearing of their desire to go to Nashkel, I took all four of them. I left Khalid and Jaheira there and Xzar in the Belching Dragon. Montaron I kept with me as I wanted him for some tasks which I was both unwilling...

Just wondering what the sign of the horns is? EDIT Of course Wiki had the answer. :)

I was delighted to find a most suitable portrait for the protagonist of this run. Burke is a dwarven berserker who started off with ** in daggers and ** in dual-wielding. Subsequently all proficiency points will go to improving his skill in using daggers. In Candlekeep I did my best to adhere...

This I wasn't expecting. Entaglement and other spells brought this run to an end far too quickly. Usually the clerics are extremely fragile. This time they were able to cast spells of disablement. I have currently started a new Baldur's Gate run posted on the Beamdog forum. However I'll be back!

Changed one of the portraits to one that I knocked together yesterday. Her background and that of the others come from local photos from my phone. I almost decided not to include the paladin but eventually stuck with it. He's a decent fighter and has good charisma. Having such good strength...

New run starting tomorrow.

Used animate undead and then Holy smite. Neither zombies nor skeletons were affected. Enemy skeletons in my last run weren't affected by it either: Probably because it would be foolish for your own summons to be affected. Know alignment didn't work either. Own summons APPEAR to be affected by...

I only just received "Righteous wrath of the faithful" in the closing stages of my game. With a party of two, that will come even later. Just before getting the heartstone I got Baleful Mail, excellent armour that cannot be used by good characters, but which gives protection against charm...

Thanks. I knew nothing of that spell. The reason for my choice had been that different alignments can use different equipment. My current run came to an end due to entangle. Too many archers nearby. If I had previously cast freedom of action I would have been able to flee. A most enjoyable run...

At last I recovered the Heartstone. It was as well that I had hoarded plenty of potions as I needed most of them! In the final battle I dealt with the minions first. I did a lot of running around and used all my normal healing potions whilst doing that. Before entering I had checked for traps...
