I want to start this update with the thought, the two women warriors in this party look enough alike I fear its causing some confusion. So just a brief attempt to clarify, Ila and Jinella both have coloring that may make them easily mistaken for Drow. Both women wear metal armor, and both usually dual wield long swords. Sorry for that, it wasn’t among the things I was really looking at when I chose this team.
Ila and Jinella, with Ila’s husband Aias make-up the melee part of the team.
Ila is the team Mom. Literally, she is 35 years old and has three kids. That is also her personality, she is warm and encouraging. To identify her, she has bright blue skin and black hair. She wears “dark plate armor”.
Jinella is a youngster at 20 years old. She has a boisterous laugh that is often heard and is jovial by nature. She has “charcoal” black skin and white braided hair. She wears “silver Roman armor”.
Jinella’s armor is sort of a bust. I meant it to be Roman Lorica Segmentata, but apart from her initial portrait it has not rendered well. Often, not even silver. Although, as we see in the portrait here it is a little brighter than what Ila is wearing. That part of the descriptions has not been helpful. But skin and hair colors are something I always check the renders for. So that should be a solid way to tell them apart.

Hjollder transported us right to the barbarian camp on the Dragon’s island.
We had to clear a number of trolls and scrags from the island to get to a set of doors.
We entered a large cavern complex and were attacked by a mass of trolls, yeti and some sort of icy wyvern.
There was a frozen corpse of a giant white dragon in the middle of one huge cave. Finally we came to a small chapel made of bones. A Sahuagin priestess was here. She was chatty, perhaps because as a “keeper of the dead” she was outcast by her tribe. We told her we sought the great white wyrm. She asked us to turn back, we would have to battle her tribe to get to the dragon.
Regretfully, we were unable to comply.
After clearing maybe 30 of the ill-tempered fish-men from the cave we were ready to face the beast.
We tried to reason with her, Dragons are not stupid. But this dragon had a genocidal hatred for all things human or demi-human.
After slaying the beast and a handful of bodyguard Sahuagin, we found ourselves transported back to Kuldahar. An exhausting couple of weeks! Tomorrow we’ll head to to the glacier and see if we can finish what we started there.

Two down, one to go! That all went pretty easily. Apart from mentioning the outer chamber of Sahuagin all fell on us more quickly than they do without SCS it wasn’t significantly harder. I might even say SCS has been a little easier on the island, the way everyone hits you at once its easier to buff beforehand and wage the tough fighting while all buffs are still going. The only complication remains that Jinella often needs healing, even more so during an extended melee.
My guess is, I’ll finish the rest of the game in the next couple days. Maybe two more updates and an epilogue.
