Petty had one more session in his day of struggle trying to complete as much as possible within 24 hours. An evening session of about 3 hours 30 mins saw the following progress:
Conster was slowed by flail and a couple of GWW wore him down without him being able to reply (other than contingencies). Petty brought out his simmy for the first time against Firkraag and rather meanly attacked him without notice. The big feller was already badly damaged when his buffs fired, but he made the mistake of opening with a dragon fear rather than wing buffet and the GWWs from 2 flails of ages finished him off before the wing buffet took effect.
In the temple sewers:
- bought potions from Roger
- GWW on a rakshasa
- Petty & simmy tore apart sewer party
- invaded the mindflayer enclave (level 25 - stunned a few mindflayers with his new power attack)
- taught Mekrath and his yuan-ti allies a lesson
Returning to sort inventory out Petty took the opportunity to get another ring of invisibility and then sorted out a few more loose ends:
- fallen paladins (level 26 - critical strike).
- Valeria and party
- Captain Dennis and his mercenaries
Thinking I should give him more of a challenge I sent Petty in to the Twisted Rune - this nearly led to his downfall and was the only encounter in BG2 that I didn't feel in full control of. The intention was for the simmy and several summons to help out, but Shangalar did not appear initially and all the summons and buffs had gone when he did finally appear. That meant this was a good test of Petty's solo ability.
- Vaxall was first to go with GWW.
- Shyressa followed immediately, along with Revanek.
- Layene was a problem. She tried one maze only a round or so before Petty's enrage expired and I was concerned she might have others. I put her off a couple of times with ring of ram and sunray and then made a first use of jelly form to melee her to death.
- Shangalar was another one that might try maze or imprisonment, but he died just before Petty's latest rage finished.
The Guarded Compound was next on the list. Ran bottom floor lot round and used Azuredge + summons. Top floor buffed and then brought them downstairs. Sion GWW, second GWW for Maferan & Koshi (level 27 - GWW), third GWW for Olaf then Ketta showed herself once too often and got stomped. Upstairs a WW was too much for Stalman.
On to the Unseeing Eye. No problem picking up the first half of the rod (level 28 - GWW). Undead were Azuredged. Rift device was reunited (level 29 - smite) and the Unseeing Eye closed for good. Petty was using Balduran's shield so beholders werekilling themselves pretty quickly.
The final destination before Spellhold was the Planar Prison. Clearing a number of yuan-ti mages there gave level 30 (critical strike).
Petty took the book of infinite spells from Perth on his way to Spellhold. He gave up a point of intelligence to Bhaal. He's just lost his Bhaal powers and sent Imoen off to try and find her way home alone (level 31 - GWW).
Edit: so that makes 11 hours 50 mins spent on BG2 in the day (in addition to the 2 hours 45 on BG1). I was hoping to get somewhat further than that, but originally hadn't planned on such a completionist approach in BG2 - essentially doing everything other than Watcher's Keep before going to rescue Imoen.
