This run is getting more updates than I expected! It turns out Jill is fun for me to write and to render. Let’s see where this one takes us.

*****

We completed our mission for the cranky dragon lady pretty fast. She was very happy to get her eggs back. And all of us were glad to be done with those very rude Drow. It made me sad we had to kill a few. But we met at least one, named Solaufein, who wasn’t completely nasty. He was still sort of a jerk, but when we were supposed to kill him we let him go. It was sort of fun being like spies… actually I guess we really were spies in their city. Cool!

We met some more rude Elves when we escaped the Underdark. But at least they were more interested in talking and understanding things than just stabbing first. So we think Bodhi has something the Elves need to find a City they lost. We’ll track her down to find the city finder.

First thing back Keldorn wanted to see his wife. I guess he’d been gone a while and she was a little grumpy about it. That’s why I keep Christopher right here! We left Keldorn to have a few days to patch things up.

We decided to go check out the Umar Hills area. We met an Avarial in town! He was another jerk, some sort of scammer. We exposed his scams. Poor Aerie, she was so excited at first to see another of her kind.

Then we found a Ranger, Valygar, hiding in his cabin. He thought the Cowled Wizards wanted to do some experiments on him. Those guys! Makes me so mad I could eat soup…

But that large silver sphere thing we’d seen in Athkatla is some sort of traveling machine made by an old family member of his. He thought we needed to check it out and see what all it was, before anyone did experiments on him.

When we left the Umar Hills we ran into that Avarial scoundrel again. Aerie asked for information about her family and he said horrible things. Aerie is like the nicest person I know! I told her we will find her family for her when we can.

The sphere was a wild place! Much bigger inside than outside. There were several groups from all over the place living inside. There was a group of savage halflings that were the toughest to deal with. Halflings!

Christopher gave a blessing before we went into battle. Its awesome how he can help us all to fight better.

We met Valygar’s old relative! Something was in his head, like when Bhaal comes for me. Its awful! Something like that. But we were able to beat the demon-thing. And fixed some of the sphere. Oh yeah. The sphere took us to hell so we had to fix it. But then we got home. Valygar’s old relative died, just when they were getting to know each other!

We were home now. So of course the Cowled Wizards show up and tell us they’ll let us use “their” sphere if we train some new mages for them.

We decided Imoen would be in charge of *our* sphere. She set just the right tone for dealing with the Cowled Wizards. Jaheira called them the “Cowed Wizards”. Funny right? Um, could you explain it to me like I’m five?

We left Valygar and rejoined with Keldorn. He said as soon as we were done he was retiring to stay home with his wife. They must have made up really nice?

Then we went to the Windspear Hills to see what we could help Lord Firkraag with monsters. Oof. What a mess we stepped into. He tricked us into killing some knights that Keldorn knew. We met the former lord of these lands, and then Lord Firkraag kidnapped his son! Well, jerk alert. We found an old ruined temple in the side of mountain, that had to be where the jerk was. We had to fight all sorts of monsters and orcs and stuff.

Do you think they would back off if they knew *how many* vampires we’ve already killed?

We finally fought our way to Firkraag. He was a big Red Dragon. He wanted to mess with me because my father injured him a long time ago. Before I was born.

I didn’t really think about it long, I knew how to deal with a jerk like Firkraag. Dragon shmagon.
Then that nice Dwarf smith in Athkatla was able to make some new armor for Christopher. I think it looks good on him.
We went home to our Castle that night. It was fun to be back! Tomorrow we’ll go finish in the Umar Hills, there are some shadow wolves or something to fight.

    Valygar looks good here. And I love Christopher’s blessing – and his spiffy new armor! And Jill’s leaping charge changing from “battle rage” to “what exactly do I think I’m doing!?!?” is hilarious.

      So much fun! The jumping Jill video was the first I’ve done with a starting and ending image. It worked out pretty well!
