Feel sad of your loss, Blackraven...

[Grond0]

- either her stealth failed and revealed her immediately (which is unlikely because of her 220 overall stealth points and because there's always a delay before a skilled sneak becomes visible after failing to hide), 

That's a shame Blackraven.  In my experience when stealth breaks there is a random component to how long before the character actually becomes visible - and that can be pretty much instant.  The only way to guarantee safety when sneaking past something is to wait for a stealth check to occur and then move through the danger zone before the next check takes place.

 

I heartily agree about the annoyance of not knowing what caused death.  Perhaps GrimJim could work a bit of his modding magic  to put a delay onto the death screen - something like that only triggering once you've indicated you've read the final text by pressing enter.

That's interesting. In my experience those sudden revelations occur at lower levels when a character's stealth skills aren't very developed yet. But if you say it can happen virtually instantly in your installs then I assume the same is possible in mine.

 

I think everyone would love to be able to see the cause of their characters's death before the game over screen appears. I'd definitely use GrimJim's mod.

[Gate70]

Sorry to hear that Blackraven. Are you able to redo it to try and narrow it down?

 

Final update for Kaxir, after a son-father tag team cheat.

 

He had his toughest battle yet, using two Oils of Speed for the first time since... well, I only remember using one in SoA back around Kangaxx but I could be mistaken. He needed them here as he was being seriously outpaced by the usual suspect.

 

This time he was running around for about 10-15 minutes, getting both Oils removed and at one stage he was considering a retreat to return with different tactics but he hung in there and succeeded with his penultimate GWW.

Spoiler

 

Anyway. Dad doesn't play by the rules - as Grond0 mentioned before but I fell for it anyway.

 

Kaxir got half a dozen laps in with no contact and then got mazed. I did a few tests tucked away in the hidey-hole so no way touch could be active. I had a green scroll of Protection from Magic in the backpack but all the potions of magic protection were either in Watchers Keep or the Pocket Plane (and by the time the spell is cast, it's game over).

 

I must remember to have PfM running against Abazigal.

[realmuzzy]

@Gate70 Sorry about Kaxir Is that a known thing with ranged mazes?

Cause of death mod would be most welcome.

[Blackraven]

@Gate70, yes I already narrowed it down. Death Tyrants could not see invisible Isadora, and their already underway rays did not follow her after her summons' deaths, so my only explanation is stealth failure and instant revelation of Isa before the Death Tyrants. I guess such a thing can happen, unlikely as it may be with Isa's outstanding stealth skills.

My condolences for you. Great run.

[GrimJim]

I heartily agree about the annoyance of not knowing what caused death.  Perhaps GrimJim could work a bit of his modding magic  to put a delay onto the death screen - something like that only triggering once you've indicated you've read the final text by pressing enter.

I don't know anything about modding the GUI, so that's probably beyond me right now. I do know that TobEx has a feature that keeps a log of everything that appears in the dialogue box. You can enable it by opening up <Your BG2 Folder>/TobEx_ini/TobExCore.ini, going to line 23, and changing Log Dialogue Bar=0 to Log Dialogue Bar=1. This saves everything in the dialogue bar, including death notifications, to <Your BG2 Folder>/TobEx_dlg.log. After a death you could open up that file and try to figure out what happened.

 

I have not played with this feature enabled so I don't know if there are any potential problems with it, but it might be worth a try.

[Alesia_BH]

@Gate70 Sorry about Kaxir Is that a known thing with ranged mazes?

 

In vanilla, and with Abazigal specifically, yes. In fact, not too long ago Gate70 did some testing to demonstrate that.

 

I'm inclined to view this as a scripting bug. I'm glad it doesn't appear in SCS.

 

Best,

 

A.

 

NW: In SCS, the only ranged mazes are the psionic variant used by gith and mind flayers. Psionic Maze offers a save.

 

NW II: If you play SCS v30 without Grim Jim's fix, Abazigal gets the wrong script. That script will cause him to cast Imprisonment, seemingly at range, much as vanilla Abazigal casts Maze.

[Alesia_BH]

@Blackraven. Condolence. That's a shame. Isadora looked promising.

 

Was Isadora's wearing the Claw, at the time? Where was Rogue's Ward?

 

I'm a fan of the Claw, as everyone knows, but there are times when I remove it. Facing beholders with a level 21 halfling thief would be one of those times.

 

I've never played with Rogue's Ward, but in theory, it should would permit you to wear the claw in beholders fights.

 

@Gate70. Condolences. Oh the irony of losing Karix to Abazigal's Maze after our discussion. 

 

I agree that Pro Magic is a good call against vanilla Abazigal. If I played vanilla, I'd definitely save a scroll for that fight.

 

Best,

 

A. 

[Blackraven]

@Blackraven. Condolence. That's a shame. Isadora looked promising.

 

Was Isadora's wearing the Claw, at the time? Where was Rogue's Ward?

Isa was still wearing the Claw. I think she didn't have Rogue's Ward equipped at the time, as she had finished a Gauth in melee and I didn't intend or expect her to expose herself to the Death Tyrants and their rays.

Hard luck Blackraven.

Looks like a lot of us are now back in Candlekeep.

[Serg BlackStrider]

Too much sadness this days... First Isadora, now Kaxir (and Jardik and all those MP failures as well...)   Great run nonetheless, Gate! 

[Dyara]

@Blackravon: Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

The only way to guarantee safety when sneaking past something is to wait for a stealth check to occur and then move through the danger zone before the next check takes place.

 

That's what I usually do . However I've never experienced that instant drop out of stealth.

 

@Gate: Sorry to hear about Kaxir.

Perhaps I shouldn't play this evening .

That's what I've found, too: instant drop out is possible, minding the timing of checks mitigates risk.

Yeah, me too... There are those *good days to die* from time to time. Far too often lately to my taste, though...

[Serg BlackStrider]

I might be wrong here but I think, it depends on your Move Silently skill - the more/higher it is the longer you'll stay invisible after failed check.

 

edit:

from Volothamp's Comeuppance:

Spoiler

A skill that enables the user to walk around, unseen and unheard. Only Thieves, Rangers, and Monks can Stealth, and their success depends on their Stealth rating (Thieves & Monks choose how many points per level to invest in the ability, while Rangers' Stealth is based solely on their level and Dexterity), and to some extent the amount of ambient light in the area (darker is better). It is only possible to enter Stealth mode while no hostile creatures are in your line of sight, although once you are in Stealth, you can walk around freely and remain unseen—as long as your luck holds. In BG1, there was only the one skill—Stealth—which in BG2 was broken up into the skills of Hide in Shadows and Move Silently. The way the game engine was set up created a bias that makes Move Silently far more important than Hide in Shadows (an imbalance that I find unfortunate): When you attempt to enter Stealth, the game takes your HiS and MS scores, averages them together, and compares that average with the result of a D100 roll (plus or minus any modifiers due to light conditions where you're standing). If you succeed, the game then continually checks to see how long you will remain hidden: The chance of staying concealed, the length of time that elapses between checks, and how long you will remain unseen after a failed check, all depend on your Move Silently score. One important benefit of this ability is that all Stealthed characters recieve a -4 THAC0 bonus; this affects only the hit they make while emerging from Stealth, of course, but it's still quite helpful.

While in Stealth, any action other than walking will cause the character to leave the shadows: Some actions merely "break Stealth," meaning you can quickly perform the action, move back out of sight range of any enemies, and drop back into Stealth again, without ever becoming visible. You will break Stealth if you pick a lock, open a door, attack a creature, or begin casting a spell, but you will still remain invisible for a time dictated by your Stealth or Move Silently score. Other actions, however, will cause you to immediately become visible; these include actually landing a hit on an enemy, finishing casting a spell that breaks Invisibility (pretty much all hostile spells do this), opening a container, or picking an object up off the ground.

A Thief's Stealth skill can be approximated, as I said, by Monks and Rangers, and also by several types of Illusion spells available to both Priests and Wizards.

[Grond0]

I might be wrong here but I think, it depends on your Move Silently skill - the more/higher it is the longer you'll stay invisible after failed check.

I know that's been widely reported, but I don't think it's correct.  You can easily check that the piece you quote is incorrect about only Move Silently being used to test continuing stealth by generating 2 characters and giving one a high MS score and the other a high HiS score - I don't think there's any difference in how often they drop out of stealth.  It's more difficult to test the persistence of stealth, but I'm fairly sure that isn't affected either.

 

I also have a vague memory that the behaviour of HiS and MS has been raised on the EE forums and developers there have said that there is no difference between them ...

Bl-scs30 Update 2.5, 

 

Heather and Twitter;

 

Hear text as mp3,

 

Mazzy has sorted her sister issues and Jan got called home so we opened the spear (I'll come back much later) and did some quick murder for a hidden fellow… Jaheira got cursed by an old slaver (harper business it appears?) so we acquiesce to hunting the bugger down then Mazzy has a pit fight to put some bully in his place.

 

I wanted 'clouldkill' before returning to the wilds so we explored the temple sewers dispatched the awesome four-some and then found myself in a library guarded by Hulks and Minatare's… I sent a stealthed Valygar in to deliver my 'Insect Plague' and we helped a otiose wizard by fetching his mirror back. He rewarded us with a wand of resurrection and clouldkill as well as a slave boy?

 

Spoiler

 

I brashly avouched to the store keeper that we now had more than 1500 so we have been invited to some party in the graveyard after dark but I spent the cash upgrading a warrior trinket and recharged the clouldkill wand with 50 shots then it's off to the Druids' grove.
Now I know what you must be thinking but these guys are shadow druids and I don't have a problem with spanking them senseless besides most the area is infected with trolls. We did try to go shopping but Jan spotted something odd about the store keeper which started a fight… a right ***** to hit with spells … but we sorted the so and so out with old fashion whacking.

 

Druid battle'
{scs30} Faldorn fights pre-buffed now so I'm fine with having two 'Champion's Strength' buffs going into it (yes they stack) which pushes my thac0 to zero…
Faldorn tried to open with 'Defensive Harmony' but my 'Insect Plague' counted that (and everything else) then I popped a 'Call Woodland Beings' and shanked her with spider fangs for an easy win… I'm currently a level 10 Avenger and by Druid law, one must be at least level 14 to bid for a grove so that’s something for a later time…

Some young lass needs help evicting squatters from daddy's' place but I'm going to return to Trademeet first.

[realmuzzy]

After taking a little break from adventuring Bruin decides to get his head back into the game. His first task: investigating the murders in the bridge district. A particularly gruesome killer is flaying homeless people alive and Bruin is desperate to find him before he can kill again. The culprit turns out to be the local tanner, but Bruin fails to capture him and has to fight his way out of the murderer's lair. The assassins trying to kill him lose any tactical advantage under Red Knight's true seeing and fall to superior combat ability

 

Spoiler

 

After collecting his reward, Bruin goes back to his favorite tavern and agrees to help the owner with eliminating a slaver ring. He approaches through the sewers where his army makes quick work of the hobgoblins and kobolds trying to claim the place, and finds a talking sword with unsettling mental domination powers. His strategy for attacking the unsuspecting slavers is to drag them into the sewers where he will have the upper hand. His plan goes through without a hitch and he clears out the majority of the slavers. The inside of their compound is heavily trapped and has mage guardians. For them he takes his favorite mage fighting tactic of staying far back, commanding his army from a distance. As he is about to exit he uses his ring of invisibility to give himself time to prepare against the front door guard when suddenly the cowled wizards appear. He broke the no-use of magic rule twice. He runs back into the house and back into the sewers, where he waits them out to return later and finish the job.

 

Spoiler

 

Mages will always be a problem, that much one learns in Red Knight training, so Bruin goes to the temple district sewers where he heard one can find someone selling anti-magic potions. There he scouts out a group of robbers, and before they can attack him he attacks them from the shadows. He is no paladin to announce his arrival, any winning strategy is favored by the Red Knight. His army rushes in to destroy the mage before he can say a word and then turns to the clerics to prevent them from summoning help. At this point Bruin joins the fray and chunks the archer, and the encounter is soon over

 

Spoiler

 

There is more danger in the sewers, a rakshasa commanding a tribe of kobolds, but they are not a threat to Bruin's guardians. He rests, finds the merchant he is looking for and goes out of the sewers. On his way back to the slums he is ambushed again. He kills the ambushers to find a poisoned man begging for help. He takes the man to the Harper stronghold and gets involved with the harpers in a way he doesn't want to discuss. It's disgraceful that he was used as a dumb weapon and duped.

 

Spoiler

 

Still this got him the attention of the shadow thieves and he starts working for them, with the intent of helping them uncover a disloyal lieutenant.

[realmuzzy]

Bruin joins the shadow thief cell without problem and starts doing minor jobs for them. His first real test is eliminating a cowled wizard who resides in the area. He is not happy about the job, but cowled wizards have it coming in his mind and he will give the man a chance to flee. He prepares heavily in front of the door to the wizard's house and enters finding lots of mephits inside. He finishes them and rests before taking on a couple of golems on the next floor. On the top floor he finds the wizard who refuses to flee for his life and immediately goes for a dispel, thinking this will be an easy fight. Bruin is well trained though and has all of his key spells memorized multiple times, so he retreats to rebuff while his summoned guards keep the wizard's attention. When he gets back he's again pretty safe from magical harm and the wizard is getting low on defenses, and he dies

 

Spoiler

 

After that he gains enough trust to obtain evidence of treachery and is sent to eliminate the rouge lieutenant Maevar. He sneaks into the cellar and surprises Maevar and his underlings with a rush of his army. Soon it's only Maevar left alive, who in the end also falls after his magical protections runs out

 

Spoiler

 

Bruin receives a handsome reward and decides to leave the city for a while and help the town of Trade meet

[ussnorway]

Bl-scs30 Update 2.6, 

 

Now is the time;

 

Hear text as mp3,

 

I was surprised to see the spirit of the woods appear but agreed to help out against some trolls {I also allowed Puks' moonblade to be upgraded as reward for this quest} then I was called on again to rescue a lad named Lor-something so he could forefeel his Druid destiny. We had time and I know the enemy spirit is a chaos one… they don't like fire… so we returned to trademeet and killed Taquee for his Efreeti bottle before also handing in the puss head for their reward!

 

With Pne to counter the level drains, flamestrikes from the efreeti and Jan dispelling illusions, the bugger was soon vanquished… I have a new Lion pet and at least three more levels before I hear about grove challenges again.

 

I've decided to hold off on officially giving Trademeet the good news until I get my sister back which is next on my "too do" list… Nalia can wait, I've returned to the slums and given that creep Gaelan his blood money, much as it earks me to deal with the likes of shadow thieves but my sister needs me and that's all there is too it.

Spoiler

 

p.s. on a somewhat happier note, did anyone else happen to make it with an exotic drow dominatrix last night or am I the only lucky one? Once they've had green…

A Balor in the Copper Coronet

Dyara, elven Fighter/Mage/Thief (BG2, update 6)

The next day saw the party returning to Wachter's Keep and they found the place exactly as they had left it some weeks ago. The two remaining scepters were easily collected and then the chromatic demon was released. Brute force then opened the next level...

Spoiler

In the end it was Korgan who scored the kill - well deserved as he was the one who took all the beating. On the next level  the party came upon the mad elf Yakman. Despite the elf's madness they learned quite a few things about the maze. A heal spell then cured Yakman so he was able to leave the place. As everyone was tired from the previous fight the party spent the night at Yakman's campfire. In the morning the party returned to the previous room, the eastern portal then led them into another room where a balor was fighting three cornugons. Happily (and without too much thinking about vorpal hits) the party joined the fight... and fortunately everyone (but devils and demons) survived.

Following Yakman's journal the party took the eastern portal leading them to another demon infested area. The Tanar'Ri weren’t hostile at first but that changed quickly. At least spell casting was possible again, thus Anomen put a 'Death Ward' on Dyara (to protect her from Tahazzar's vorpal hits), Xan casted Haste, Mazzy invoked courage and Korgan raged. Everything seemed to go well until both Anomen and Valygar became paralyzed. Casting (Improved) Invisibility on Valygar was an idea...

Spoiler

... but hardly a good one. In the end it was Korgan who saved the ranger's life...

Spoiler

That turned the tide again and finally all the Tanar'Ri were successfully send home...

Spoiler

The party took Tahazzar's heart first and then the southern portal. The next room saw the party fighting some devils (two Baatezus, two Cornugons and a pit fiend) and in another room again some demons (a succubus and lots of alu fiends) tried to block the party's path (without much success)...

Spoiler

Continuing their way south the party came upon the Baatezu leader Ka'rashur who asked Dyara to bring him Tahazzar's heart in exchange for a scepter gem (and the Thieves' Hood). That quest was easily done as the party already had the Tanar'Ri's heart and as the lawful Baatezu kept his word there was no fight required to continue. That however wasn't true for the next room where the party had to fight two Glabrezus who summoned Greater Fire Elementals and Frost Salamanders...

Spoiler

There was a short moment of danger when Dyara became heavily injured and cornered by her own companions but in the end everything turned out well...

Spoiler

The next room again saw Valygar close to death but again luck was on the party's side...

Spoiler

Looking at her and her companions' blood-soaked armor Dyara started to understand where the word 'blood war' came from. Again the party used the northern portal and were greeted by a Cambion and two Death Knights...

Spoiler

... who were quickly put to rest. In the next room then Dyara sensed some dangerous traps...

Spoiler

Xan and Anomen became paralyzed unfortunately and while the Demon Wraith was killed Xan was slain by one of the Slave Wraiths...

Spoiler

Finally they had made it through the maze as the next portal led the party into a cave where Aesgareth and his Tiefling and Fell Cat friends were camping. Dyara gambled for the Spectral Brand scimitar and won and then she gambled for the way out... and lost. To my shame I have to admit that Dyara proved to be a sore loser and thus a battle was inevitable...

Spoiler

It didn't looked well at first, everyone but Mazzy and Xan became plagued by insects, Valygar became stunned but the party survived a 'Time Stop', an 'Abi Dalzim's Horror Wilting' and when Korgan had killed Aesgarath...

Spoiler

... the tide had turned again...

Spoiler

On the next level Dyara and her friends came upon a mad mage trapped inside a strange machine who surprised them by summoning some Mind Flayers for the party to fight...

Spoiler

Once Valygar and Xan were resurrected the party decided to leave Watcher's Keep and via D'Arnise Keep they made it back to Athkatla. Lot was sold, some items were upgraded and then the party went to the 'Copper Coronet' to spend the night.

Dyara still had the 'Deck of Many Things' card game she had taken from Aesgareth and after holding them in her hands for a while she couldn't resist ('They won't throw me in prison, will they', she laughed to herself) and drew a card...

Spoiler

... but not without making some preparations first...




'SI: Abjuration' and 'SI: Evocation' should block all the possible ill (and unfortunately also the favorable) effects while 'Death Ward' (also cast on Korgan) will prevent 'Vorpal Hits' in case a Balor appears.

The card she drew was 'FLAMES' (not one of the cards she had hoped for but probably the best of the rest as it gives 94,000 XP while all the other cards give nothing)...

Spoiler

Four Fire Elementals and a Balor appeared and were slain without problems...

Spoiler

The other guests seemed not to care about the whole encounter, probably this kind of pub brawl is to be seen every night but still Dyara decided to put the cards away... for now. One Balor in the Copper Coronet is enough for this evening.

[Dyara]

Life goes on - or not

Dyara, elven Fighter/Mage/Thief (BG2, update 7)

As Dyara put the card game away she felt in her pocket that strange key they had taken from Tazok's corpse. So far they hadn't found a use for it but then Dyara remembered a locked door in the sewers below the temple district...

When the party approached the stairs, they were hit by a massive psionic blast that temporarily stunned some of Dyara's companions. That and the dead bodies lying on the ground hinted that the party was walking into great danger... and mind flayers. Actually just one mind flayer (in the second room) but remembering the bad experiences the party had made in Watcher's Keep Dyara decided to be extra cautious. Dyara and Valygar sneaked behind the mind flayer while Xan casted chaos into the room. Then the mind flayer was backstabbed (and finally killed)...

Spoiler

... and the remaining enemies were slain easily...

Spoiler

The next room had more Mind Flayers and an Umber Hulk, a Death Spell by Xan removed the Umber Hulk and one of the Ulitharids...

Spoiler

... and the rest was slain the old-fashioned way...

Spoiler

When Dyara opened the door to the last room she was detected by an Alhoon who followed her into the previous room where he was awaited and slain by Dyara's companions...

Spoiler

So far everything had worked great but then Anomen became stunned and the Illithids started to devour his brain. Dyara then casted 'Invisibility 10' Radius' (as it was the only invisibility spell she had) saving Anomen’s brain and life but also rendering some of the Illithids invisible...

Spoiler

... and they used this to stun Mazzy and kill her...

Spoiler

Another charge of the rod of resurrection was used to bring Mazzy back to life and the party returned to the surface then.  After a well-deserved rest Dyara dug out the 'Deck of Many Things' card game...

Spoiler

Again some preparations were made...


... and then Dyara drew the second card... MAGICIAN...


... but 'SI: Alteration' saved her from turning into a rabbit...


With her protections (more precisely: 'SI: Enchantment') still active Dyara quickly drew a third card... MOON


... and Dyara's hit points were increased by 10...

Of course Dyara and her companions were more than ready to leave for Spellhold but as her apprentices were working on a 'Ring of Wizardry' Dyara decided to postpone their departure and travel to Watcher's Keep instead...

They made a stop at De'Arnise Keep where Dyara had to decide in a somewhat delicate case. Two men had asked to marry the maid Chanelle, however Dyara didn't want to lose her lady-in-waiting because... *ahem* ...

Spoiler

... but after listening to the two men's quarreling for some time Chanelle decided - much to Dyara's relief - to not marry yet...

Spoiler

With the issue solved the party continued their travel to Watcher's Keep. From a Githyanki captain Dyara grabbed a nice long sword...

Spoiler

In a tomb Dyara came upon another Demilich...

Spoiler

Unfortunately Dyara became held. That didn't put her in immediate danger as her regeneration (3HP/round) would cancel most of the damage from the Demilich's melee attacks but her 'SI: Abjuration' wouldn't last forever. So a raged and hasted Korgan had to borrow Valygar's upgraded 'Celestial Fury' and came to Dyara's aid...

Spoiler

Of course Xan was very angry with Dyara...

Spoiler

... and to please him Dyara just talked to Saladrex but didn't fight the dragon.

By now the party had lots of experience with Illithids and so the fights to get the red oil turned out rather easy...

Spoiler

The two minotaurs Rock and Garock stood no chance against the party's melee power and then the party took revenge on Carston (for he had killed Xan and Valygar some days ago)...

Spoiler

After playing with Lum's Machine for some time the party returned to Athkatla. There Dyara received bad news as two of her apprentices had died... the 'Ring of Wizardry' however was finished and then merged by Cromwell into the 'Sorcerian Ring'.
