My origins are in Cloakwood where my clan Orothiar had a mine before it was taken over by our enemies. It is my desire to bring the clan back from almost extinction. I survived because my mother had taken me to the surface in search of nuts and berries when the assault came. We fled, but a...

Journal of Nick the Knife I escaped to Beregost where I used my thieving skills to boost my experience. I headed south having reached level 3. We killed two ogrillon and returned a letter to Mirianne before heading north where we helped Joia, Now level 4. I came across a powerful assassin...

A solo Bounty Hunter

End of run. Have rescued Duke Eltan. We killed Slythe easily and sent some skeletons to kill Krysten which they did, but not before killed a number of courtesans with Cloudkill. I picked up a selection of clothes in case I find myself a girlfriend.. Defeated Sarevok at the Dukal Palace and...

Journal of Giantkiller and family We have taken on Durlag's Tower and have awakened the wardens. I approached love along with some buffed skeletons. I spoke to Love and when attacked, I and the skeletons entered the summoned stinking cloud. Once there I consumed a potion of invisibility. I...

Journal of Giantkiller and familyJournal of Giantkiller and family We killed a proper dragon by using summons to avoid his attacks. The one in the last post wasn't a challenge! We then went to Daerthmac castle to rescue the Mayor of Nashkel's son. By keeping ourselves hidden, he didn't...

Journal of Giantkiller and family Having killed a dragon, numerous wyverns both in transit and in a cave, and then Drasus et al we are ready to enter the Cloakwood mines. I don't know why, but no dragon's body appeared when I killed it, and no treasure either. :( Nightblade using...

Pleased with your success. :)(y)

I can understand that, and to get clues you are almost pushed into using the Beamdog NPCs.

The only real letdown that I've discovered is that there aren't enough recruitable NPCs. It is more linear than BG1. Journal of Giantkiller and family We cleared the ankheg area and basilisk area without difficulty, and I and Dragonslayer have reached level 6 and reputation 20. :) We cleared...

Journal of Giantkiller and family Command was very useful when it came to fighting Zargos. He had a +1 axe, so avoidance of blows was essential. Upon killing him, two of us reached level 2. :) In the battle against Zordral, sadly Spellcaster was a casualty. Aerie raised him at the cost...

I might well do that. I knew SoA pretty well back in the days of Tutu and liked it. Every time a new set-up is used it can change the game dramatically. SoD is of course new to me and I'm enjoying it immensely. My last game was the first one where I have been defeated in the Coalition...

Journal of Giantkiller and family It was Gorion who rescued me and my family when we were attacked by elves. They wrongly assumed that we were a raiding party from the underdark rather than refugees. He brought us up in Candlekeep where we were at least safe, if not welcome. Then, one day, my...

@Finarfin Just been watching your videos. Your game is so different to mine. You really have to know it through and through. I don't! However, I am still enjoying it. Congrats. I didn't quite understand the ending, probably because in the only game that I completed, I turned down godhood and...

I have just resurrected three Drow characters from the past, given them different names, and rolled an additional one who is a ranger similar to Drizzt, but different. He was inspired by Drizzt, but is more lawful: indeed, if he had been of human descent, he would have been a paladin. His name...

At last have made my decision. This looked to be a promising start. However, things didn't turn out that way as I was soon at the point of death and needed help from a watcher who killed Shank for me.. You may wonder, "How could this happen? The assassins in Candlekeep are not very...

Mine is the Gog version. :confused: Note. My run finished just as I was clearing the crusade from the Coalition Camp. I'm not sure why. It happened so quickly. Possibly a backstab. I should probably have sent summons ahead of me but didn't. :( A Dwarven Bounty Hunter. A totally different...

@Finarfin Just wondering what software you use for your videos. Is it free? I'm rather out of touch about such things now I am retired.

Visit to family and a conference now over. We have rejoined with Khalid and now have to decide what to do next. Jegg has made us a couple of decent shields. (Former experience has taught me that the armour that he makes is OK but not much better than what I already have.) We just managed to...

Journal of Helmuth in Dragonspear Arrived at Coast Way Crossing, getting there was trivial. We came across some dwarves investigating a cave. We had run out of spells when we found an access to an inner sanctum. We therefore returned to the coalition base to rest. We found Skie out...
