We spent a couple days doing chores and running errands mostly around Athkatla. Not too much combat or excitement; well, excepted for the Twisted Rune thing, oh and we had to rescue that acting troupe from an extra-planar prison thingy. More important things involved finishing a training course for the young mages Id been entrusted with. We also had little projects for both the Knights and the Temple of Lathander.

Keldorn has proven to be a true asset to this team, and I appreciate his calm and steady approach to pretty much everything. Except, he and Jaheira do clash at times! Its funny, both are plainly motivated to do right by people and are willing to take great personal risk to do so. But the way they word things, the way they look at things, is so different. Diomedes in particular has to play referee a lot.

We finally pulled ourselves away to go look into the wolf problem out in the Umar Hills. But first, we spent a whole day just relaxing together at the Castle. We had a beautiful day to just enjoy the country too.

I’ve never spent much time in the water. Is it safe? Is it clean? Maybe I’ll just dip my toes…

We had a big feast together at the end of the day. It was great having Minsc, Nalia and Skie all with us for a while.

Psyche always wins this game.

In the morning we were all a little refreshed and we set out to help the people of Imnesville.

    Keldorn and Jaheira at odds is fun! Those two are just older, opinionated, and sure of themselves. Makes for some entertaining fireworks at times.

    I like the lake scene too. I’ve never really experimented with that “blurred background” effect. I’ll have to keep that one in mind, its really effective for that kind of scene.

    Playing chess is great too. Its like she’s on the edge of her seat waiting for him to make the mistake she already knows he’s going to make so she can pounce on it and laugh.

      I love doing the character scenes, and loving the characters is my favorite part of the game anyway.

      So yeah, Keldorn and Jaheira get the whole dysfunctional mom/dad vibe going, makes me laugh.

      The lake scene was fun, and led to some filter things. At first I didn’t know why I got a whole blocked render. One of the descriptors was “[Aerie] lifts her skirt to dip her toes in water”. Well next render has her disrobing! ??? I thought what I’d said was pretty clear! Skinny-dipping wasn’t the descriptor! Obviously I had to change some things around. Anyway, the image of Aerie hemming and hawing while Psyche yells “cannonball!” I love it.

      I imagine Psyche would dominate at Chess. But I’m pretty sure in the picture she’s playing a different game.
