Epic.

Anomen / Mazzy / Mayhem (wild mage) / Aerie / Nalia / Jaheira : Paragons
The funeral is a brief affair, interrupted first by Isaea Roenall then by Renfeld asking if he should be buried too. We finally take the hint and return him to the docks. Prebek is breached while Sanasha expires just before a synchronised breach hits her, Montaron the bird turns out to be a harper assassin and Jaheira disappears for a while with Meriona, returning just in time to be cursed by Baron Ployer.

We track him down and kill him, then Salia throws a pair of thieves in our direction before we return to the Harper HQ. Mayhem casts haste and our gold vanishes but Nalia casts a second haste immediately.


Trog (Barbarian) / Viconia / Edwin / Korgan : Renegades
Funeral - pah. Harpers - pah. Another round of grog for the dwarves while Edwin and Viconia sip a herbal brew.

Of course I always try to thoroughly study all available sources of information (and your messages are one of the priorities, even though lacking the Watcher's Keep section, which I definitely intend to inspect)

So you know, I do have an Alisa save from before The Throne. I'm thinking about sending Alisa in. I can post on that somewhere if there is interest.

Of course there is an interest! Looking forward for that eagerly.

 Aside from sending Alisa into Watcher's Keep -and perhaps giving her a chance to complete the battle on Insane- I don't really have any plans. Re-booting the Avatars does make sense. I'll definitely consider it.

Great! No one could have too much of a good company! :happy:

Edit: and your post about Mel's fight was... nerve-hacking! Two hp left...trapped...ouch! I'm glad that Alisa went through it victorious. And your approach - don't rush, let's calm down, take a deep breath (or even better some sleep), Hoka hey, today is a good day to die there will be another day tomorrow - once again proved to be a life-saviour. If only I followed it in my cleric/illusionist Throne fight...(sigh)
Well done once again!:happy:

Great run, Alesia! Congratulations on a job well done.

[Grond0]

Good show Alesia - I'm glad you enjoyed putting it on (we enjoyed viewing it!).

[Gate70]

Anomen / Mazzy / Mayhem (wild mage) / Aerie / Nalia / Jaheira : Light
We spend a relaxing day repairing our equipment, five of us sewing while Anomen shines and polishes, and shines and polishes. “You really like being a shiny target don’t you” says Nalia. Anomen grins, and polishes a bit more.

Trog (Barbarian) / Korgan / Edwin / Viconia : Dark
When the mead runs out Korgan and Trog hatch a plan to loot the Harper HQ. First though, Prebek and Sanasha are treated to a breach sequence resulting in a messy chunking. Xzar asks if we have retrieved Montaron and Korgan replies “Aye, although we had to kill everybody inside followed by Rylock, Jaheira and Fovem when we left” (reputation 4, despised).

Xzar is assassinated and Lucette throws a curve-ball at us before running away.

She still runs (drat), through a bolted door. Trog uses DUHM > enrage to bust it open and follow, but only a trio of minotaurs await us. After thrashing them we step outside. Korgan has had enough of Edwin complaining about his or her problem “Shut it Edwette before I lay a curse of headlessness on you too”. Killing Baron Ployer proves to be a mistake as we must now rest outside when visiting the docks.

We buff inside the Ships Bounty then Edwin hastes us outside. A group of Cowled Enforcers have a bad day, as does a second group. The third group have a bad night and Korgan remarks this is the easiest money he’s made in many a day.

(Lack of knowledge about slaughter may well end badly in this no reload. I can remember Arkanis is somewhere so being careful about the thieves until Bodhi is paid but not sure what other surprises will be in store).

[Alesia_BH]

Thanks guys! It wasn't the most elegant final battle but it did score high on the fun-o-meter.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!


Best,

A.

Edit: and your post about Mel's fight was... nerve-hacking! Two hp left...trapped...ouch! I'm glad that Alisa went through it victorious. 

That was both the most embarrassing and most enjoyable part of the fight. I never should have gotten Alisa into that situation, but it was fun getting her out.

I like imagining that from Mel's perspective. Up untill that point, Alisa had merely been a pest- an annoying difficult to eradicate pest but a pest nonethless. When Mel eventually cornered Alisa and starting pounding her, it must have felt like her inevitable victory had finally come. And to then see a fully functional Iron Golem emerge from the near corpse of her half elven foe- soon racing off away from her. Suddenly it must have seemed as if her advesary was a touch more resilient and resourceful than she had thought.

That run was great, Alesia, congrats.

Alesia, that was an epic run. I can't believe that you pulled it out from having only two hitpoints left.... I'm speechless.

Here's to Alisa!

[Gate70]

Trog has suffered a slight setback. The final group of Cowled wizards cast imprisonment, berserk warrior took one for the team - Korgan was raged so would have been safe, Trog was also raged but barbarian rage doesn't protect against imprisonment.

The fight rolls on. Various nasty spells are flung about but we're doing OK despite being malisoned. Then Korgan is petrified so we spread out to stop him from being chunked.

Trog kills an ettercap and ogre as Edwin is killed and Viconia ducks into a nearby house. Trog kills another ogre and somehow realises Viconia has been confused, so races past Korgan and the remaining mages to protect his only remaining companion. He manages to keep her alive until she recovers and they head down some stairs and into a crypt (yes, that crypt).

Some healing is undertaken before Trog kills three spiders, two skeleton warriors and two mages who have entered the house. Viconia uses wondrous recall to raise Edwin, he then summons a hobgoblin, ogre and a dire wolf. The summons are sent closer as a distraction so Trog can use a scroll to get Korgan breathing again. Good plan.

Bad plan. One of the mages sunfires just close enough to Korgan just as Trog reaches him.


Edwin de-buffs Zallanora again and Trog sets to work. As the task draws to a close Zallanora summons in a pit fiend and teleports away. Trog takes a beating so races into a temple for a 750gp heal, but the pit fiend gets the better of him a second time with some huge explosions and he has to run.

The docks are a mess by this point and the pit fiend kills another four or five bystanders before being unsummoned.

Trog isn't too happy about losing his drinking partner but there may be some options around a replacement. Unique items lost are;

Necklace of form stability.
Cloak of the sewers.
Arbane.
Wyverns Tail.
Hangards Axe.
Lilacor.
Case of Plenty.

Sounds like an epic fight Gate70 - sounds rough losing your dwarven berserker -- hope you will bounce back.

[Grimwald the Wise]

Congrats Alicia some battle. I'll have to play with your set-up one day, but in the meantime, I'm happy with the one that I have:

Grimwald Wurmslayer Update.



Tor Gal not so tough



Shold have buffed for this one!



Stronghold cleared



Attacked Khalabaxin



Wyrmslayer got paralysed so the rest joined in the battle. Anomen healed him and no further healing was required before the spell wore off.



Strategic withdrawal across the river.



End of Khalabaxin!





Shade Lord not so tough



Shade Lord dead

Yup, from the Saerileth mod. Usually he's quite easy so long as you don't get paralysed. This was the hardest battle I have had with him, (Assuming it's a him and not a her ).

Corgrunt the Level 9 Fighter - Update 2
Traveling with: Jaheira, Minsc, Anomen, Yoshimo, Nalia

As expected the team got ambushed headed to the City Gate - the Suna Sune ambush. However, it was super easy for the team, the enemies fell as if they were dominoes instead of hardened warriors. Jaheira's call lightning just put more salt in their wounds, then they were dead.

We then reached the City Gates and obtained the Trademeet Quest - but then when headed to the Keep we found Renfeld being attacked. For a lack of anything better to do we did save him - was easy again, just straight auto-attack finished them - they did get a lightning bolt off, but it killed no one.

Thus, we changed course and headed to the Docks - ah yes the Cleric of Cyric pops up - however, Corgrunt was ready for him with Arbane in his off-hand - the team was too much for this cleric and they went down. We returned Renfeld to the Harpers, sold our junk and once more headed to the Keep - one more ambush, but again the team handles it really well with no deaths.

Once at the Keep, was time to clear it out of trolls - thanks to our equipment we got from Tarnor's Gang, the trolls were of little difficulty - the tougher fights are below:
* Yuan-Ti Mage - his buddies were pulled one at a time. Then Corgrunt received anti-magic buffs (CC, free action, pro lightning, etc.) and he attacked and finished the mage with his Stonefire.
* Glaicas - Yoshimo softened him up with a backstab and a snare, then Nalia made sure he would go down easy once she slowed him. Full Plate went to Jaheira.
* Golems - pulled one at a time - the only question mark is the iron golem (requires +3 to hit) - only Corgrunt had a +3 weapon but it was a 1 hand, which is not what you want, since you will take huge poison damage in 1 hand weapon range. Thus, Nalia soloed it with the long reach of her Flind form (halberd) - she took no damage.
* Umber Hulks - what was supposed to happen was Jaheira was to cast entangle and Nalia web then cloudkill - but Jaheira moved too far up (guess she didn't have a clear line of sight) and got both confused and webbed and died. The team did win, thanks to Nalia's cloudkill, but Anomen is too low level for raise dead, thus we had to return to Athkatla to raise Jaheira.

Once we go to Athkatla, Anomen got a messenger to go to his father's estate. After selling what we can, we headed once more to D'Arnise Keep. I did a new strategy this time - Jaheira went into rat form, and pulled Torgal - this way she got picked on while the rest of the team laid into him. Should be noted that Minsc and Corgrunt were both dual-wielding (Flail of the Ages/Mace +1 and Stonefire/Frostweaver respectively) so they do lots of damage real fast - yes success! Jaheira only took about 40% damage by the time Torgal falls. Rat form was a great way to tank.

After going outside, Anomen complains that we need to head to his father's estate - oh yeah right OK we'll get on that. First though, Corgrunt was declared Lord of the Keep.

We then hit the government district - solved Anomen's problem lawfully. We also got our magic license while we were here. We want to get a better sling for Jaheira, and ideally a martial staff. Ended session here.

**** Question ****
Dalon/Delon (the boy from Immesvale) wasn't in the government district! We looked all around and didn't see him - this was the first time being here, so I know we haven't talked to him yet - does this mean Immesvale won't unlock?

Yes, that's right - I haven't unlocked that route in so long I forgot about it. Will give that a shot.

[Grimwald the Wise]

Grimwald Wyrmslayer destroyed the beholder cult and is now looking for the brother of the supplier of Ilithium in the hope of helping Sir Sarles.

Sorry. Forgot to do screenshots, but there were no problems.

Apparently this was no problem at all - the reason we couldn't find Delon? He was out and about searching for Minsc! Delon found Minsc at the Docks, so the party is currently at the Amaunator Temple Forrest, making our move.

Corgrunt the Half-Orc Level 10 Fighter - Update 3 - Umar Hills

@Gate70 - hey sorry to hear your gold vanished - saving for items must be rough for a wild mages- I assume wild mages have holes in their pocket...

The party headed to Umar Hills to deal with some problems there. Basically, a huge number of undead, mostly shadows and skeletal warriors had to be dealt with. The party had a lot of magical ammo, so they were well prepared it and no one died. Unsurprisingly, the two front-lining dual-wielders put out a tremendous damage output - this meant almost no spells were cast, other than heals and a few buffs on Corgrunt for the Shade Lord battle. Corgrunt has 41% of all kills - in a six man team, that seems pretty impressive.

Shadow Dragon passed for now...the team will return for it, one day...

Shade Lord couldn't cast anything due to all the elemental damage of Minsc and Corgrunt (Flail of Ages, Stonefire). Due to the Shadow Fiends in this temple, Corgrunt has been using Arbane in the off-hand so he never gets held. Minsc got held a few times, but the party always saved him in time. For once, I actually remembered that Anomen has remove paralysis spell memorized (I rarely remember my clerics have one of these memorized) and used it to help Minsc out one battle.

On our return to Immesvale, 3 rangers got mad at Yoshimo - Yoshimo ran away to the party for a bit, which then allowed a fire elemental and nymph to do their things. Once our summons suitably had the rangers' attention, Yoshimo and Nalia showed themselves and assisted with their short bows - battle took a while but was safe and victory achieved.

After reporting our success to the Immesvale mayor, the party headed to Waukeen's Promenade to visit our "bank" (a barrel by northern entrance) to put a few things in and ended our session here.

I'm having some problems with the net and can't access photobucket very well. However Grimwald Wyrmslayer has not only killed another wyrm, he has conquered devils and liches as well.

First the big enemies from the Saerileth mod.







Then a lich that I haven't seen before.



The dragon's last moments. Reduced magical resistance, removed protections and hit him with all I'd got. Was hit with wing buffet etc. a couple of times, and had to glug 4 potions of extra healing, but that's about it.




Pleased with that one!

Trog picked a fight with the wrong guys when a lack of reputation brought him to the attention of some guards. He was meleed to the ground (I hadn’t assumed they were that troublesome and wasn’t keeping an eye on him until it was too late). So the wild mage has out-lived the barbarian.

Anomen / Mazzy / Mayhem (wild mage) / Aerie / Nalia / Jaheira
We rest until Jaheira is cured from the Ployer curse then Nalia is arrested by Isaea Roenall. She’s soon returned to us, and we head back to help the playhouse troupe. A planar prison is carefully cleared until a series of summons can be sent in to frustrate the warden. Anomen joins in to clear the area, and then Aerie stumbles into a cell containing wolfweres. She escapes but they follow and we struggle to contain them - Anomen having to glug an extra healing potion at one stage.

Anomen wants to investigate the remaining cells but Mayhem thrusts the green mastery orb into a glowing brazier and instead rescues the troupe (wanted to move one character but had the entire party selected). We buff before resting, Anomen being polymorphed into a wolf when Mayhem surges a minor healing spell.

Del and her vampires are beat away from Sansuki as we leave the inn then we help Mazzy cure her sister of poison and remove the Dao djinn so the stores can be opened again.

Anomen, fighter 7 > cleric 10. 107 kills, bone golem.
Mazzy, fighter 9. 39 kills, greater wolfwere.
Mayhem, wild mage 11. 87 kills, Shadow Patrick.
Aerie, cleric 9 / mage 10. 26 kills, Shade Lord.
Nalia, thief 4 > mage 11. 24 kills, stone golem.
Jaheira, fighter 9 / druid 12. 140 kills, Del.

Now seems like a good time to introduce my current character: Ashanti, Elven Beastmaster- seen here after having just paid Galen.  



Personal Item: Call of the Wild- Helm, +1 Saves, Immune to Fear (new for BGII)
Familiar: Winston- Standard fairy dragon familiar with wolf animation
Proficiencies: Quarterstaves (**), Shortbows (**), Darts(*), Two-Handed Weapon Style(**), Two-Weapon Style(**)

NW: The helm seen above is not the Helm of Balduran: It is Ashanti's personal item Call of the Wild. 

I'm guessing at least a few of you recall Ashanti's prior attempts at The Throne. Perhaps it seems as though the beastmaster kit is unsuitable for solo no reload play but, to my mind, that remains to be seen. Ashanti's two prior failures had nothing to do with her kit. They were both results of manifest incompetence on my part. This time I hope to play her to somewhere near her potential. 

While Ashanti is eager to head off after Imoen, she was touched by the young boy Delon's plea and has decided to venture forth to the Umar Hills without delay. I'll post again when she completes the quest.


Best,

A.
