After resting up from yesturday’s big battles, we headed over to see our friend Mendes. We took the radical approach of talking to the Merchant League about their findings and their charts. They agreed, in spite of our ethical concerns about Mendes, that they would also like to know what’s…

We had no idea when we set out for Durlag’s Tower it would prove to be such a huge thing. Honestly, searching a great old ruin for a dagger seemed a little silly. It proved to be a good thing we did it. The ruins are over a day’s travel…

I had really mixed feelings about returning to Candlekeep. Until three months ago it was my only home, the only *place* I’d ever known. Now, I don’t think it would ever be home without Gorion. Handing over the cost of admission, the book given us by Duke Eltan, sort of…

Oh I skipped a little detail last time, at the main gate to the city we were introduced to Scar. He is second in command of the Flaming Fist, the professional military and guard force for Baldur’s Gate. We told him what all we had learned, and that apparently the…

Jaheira knew a little about the Forest. The Cloakwood Forest is large and difficult to navigate in places. Naturally Minsc knows about life in the forest, but he’s not local enough to know much about the Cloakwood. So we would be following Jaheira’s lead. She could take us from the…

Game-wise, this is a much bigger update than the last couple. We covered more ground, to the end of a chapter. And significantly, every member of the party has grown. They have ALL gained levels AND some important equipment. While the narrative will continue to focus on the story, I…

We continued our exploring of the wilderness areas west of the main road to the Sword Coast. We saw a large group of gnolls attacking a single traveler, and rushed to help. Even hard pressed he was civil and polite in asking for aid. I strongly suspect he did not…

We had some discussion about where to head next. The next good lead we had, a bandit chieftain was somehow behind the Iron Crisis, would take us a ways to the north, closer to Baldur’s Gate. But then Amyntor said we would be better off exploring the wilderness area along…
