Another update with quite a bit of ground traveled. After finishing “Throne of the Mad God” mod, we tore through “Bloodied Stings of Barovia” and “Call of the Lost Goddess”. Then off to Watcher’s Keep, that was done in record time. Again, I did not battle Mr. D at the…

I’ve covered a lot of ground in the last few days. The team finished business in the Windspear Hills, investigated a Planar Sphere, freed friends from a Planar Prison, investigated a Beholder cult… They’ve been busy adventurers. Throne of the Mad God The longest single thing done was the epic…

I’ve arrived at the time when I do the team as Drow. That’s a sort of tradition for me now. I’m not sure why I “must”, but it does make for some fun alt/renders of the whole crew. The team tore through the Underdark quickly. On their return to the…

I’ve made some good progress these last few days. On return to the Castle, we detached Minsc and Neera to help train a new militia and administrate the holdings. Neera has a strong attachment to this land, and even if she won’t “rule”, she has a passion for running things…

As expected, the challenge related to erasing all my experience had exhausted itself by the time we escaped from Irenicus’ dungeon. Louisa was 7th level, Gerold and Minsc were 6th and leveled up shortly. So really, from that point they were not significantly weaker than any other party. The team…

I plowed through Siege of Dragonspear with little trouble. This is still at the “Improved” difficulty on SCS. Corwin is a fearsome addition to the team. I suppose any Ranger/Archer would be, I honestly don’t recall if I’ve ever created one for BG. I’ve used one a few times in…

I’ve finished the original game, and am now a ways into Siege of Dragonspear. At some point, this team seems to have grown much more powerful. Through the mid-point of BG1 I felt like they were struggling a bit for their level/place in the game. But from Durlag’s Tower through…

The team did some investigations for Scar, one led to an Ogre Mage in the sewers of the City.Eventually, they looked into the Iron Throne and found their leadership was back at Gerold’s old home, Candlekeep. This led to Gerold making a horrifying personal discovery, when he read a letter…

I had previously not mentioned, I turned up the difficulty on SCS for this run, to “Improved”. Tentatively, I may bump it up to Tactical for a later run, but probably no further. The higher levels often irk me, when enemy spellcasters too often have even short duration defenses up…

I’ve explored the whole southern map now, and cleared the bandit camp. Just getting started on the Cloakwood Forest. Everyone is around 6th level. Readers will recognize one familiar glitch, the AI seriously thinks Minsc should have a beard! By far the hardest one here was Louisa healing Jaheira. Anything…
