I wish I could ask myself for help sometimes too.

Update #53: Saemon Says

I am starting to suspect there is some kind of UST between me and Imoen.

Leave your incest fantasies out of my LP.

codex_10.jpg
I didn't even know she was my sister until recently!

Which is when she started appearing in your dreams. Before, it was Irenicus. Care to comment on that?

codex_10.jpg
...

codex_10.jpg
Fuck.

bg2_up53_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, I know you're really Bhaal's essence. Get on with it.

bg2_up53_002.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Whoa, now I wish I kept my mouth shut.

bg2_up53_003.jpg

codex_10.jpg
A gift? Is it my birthday already? Wait... When exactly is my birthday?

I think it's 4th of August. At least that's when the first news post appeared.

Oh, right, I am on this fucking PirateBay island.

Hey, Saemon, it's nice of you to stand still for a change...

bg2_up53_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Did that hurt? I hope it did!

bg2_up53_023.jpg

codex_10.jpg
OH YEAH! Die, motherfucker!

bg2_up53_024.jpg


codex_10.jpg
That was EXTEREMELY satisfying.

You do realize, we will have to load the game now?

codex_10.jpg
Why? Can't I just use the portal in the asylum?

Well, yes, you can, but you will be missing out on some seriously good loot this way. Not to mention the XP.






























Well?

codex_10.jpg
I'm still considering it!






























codex_10.jpg
Alright, fine. Loot it is.

bg2_up53_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I still don't get why it was not problem for you to teleport both of us outside the asylum building, but then you've decided to teleport yourself again here, alone, leaving me there. That was a dick move.

tl;dr: We need some kind of horn, which, for some reason, Desharik the pirate lord gave his, uhm, 'lady' for safekeeping, so we're going to break into her house and retrieve it.

bg2_up53_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Quick and stealthy action, he said. Can do.

bg2_up53_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Must I be reminded that other people are having sex all the time? It's kind of depressing.

bg2_up53_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess it's a lost day for Saemon if he does not find someone new to screw.

bg2_up53_034.jpg


bg2_up53_035.jpg

tl;dr: zzzZZzzz...

bg2_up53_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let me just quickly grab the horn from the table over there...

bg2_up53_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, come on!

bg2_up53_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Every time I try the subtle approach on this damn island something like this happens...

bg2_up53_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
EVERY FUCKING TIME!

bg2_up53_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ah, this roguestone will soothe my rage quite effectively.

bg2_up53_041.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Desharik should not miss this horn, seeing as his girlfriend provides him with constant supply of new ones.

bg2_up53_042.jpg


The trap itself was more interesting than the contents of the wardrobe.

Moving on!

bg2_up53_043.jpg


I think I've lost a few screenshots here. Anyway, these fine gentlemen offered to employ The Codex' services as a rower on their ship, but could not reach an agreement with our hero regarding the job's terms.

codex_10.jpg
Their dental plan was really lousy, with the scurvy and all.

bg2_up53_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Damn, they must be really desperate to use this 'row or die!' approach. No wonder they have problems with recruitment.

bg2_up53_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Who's on first?

bg2_up53_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
It would be great if you guys did not run in random directions.

bg2_up53_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That's the last one.

Not exactly. A couple of them ran away in random directions.

codex_10.jpg
:roll:

bg2_up53_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And of course they dropped crap.

Which you now pick up. Who does that make you?

codex_10.jpg
You do not want want to continue this line of thought.

bg2_up53_050.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This pest control gig is really getting out of hand.

bg2_up53_051.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Now we're done with this shit.

bg2_up53_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Whatever, Teddy.

bg2_up53_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What the fuck now? I really hate this place.

bg2_up53_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I stole it.

bg2_up53_055.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I said I stole the horn.

bg2_up53_056.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wow, he killed her. I kind of feel bad about stealing that horn now. Oh well.

bg2_up53_057.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess it's two on five then?

bg2_up53_058.jpg


Seems more like one on four to me. Saemon and Desharik are just standing there doing nothing.

codex_10.jpg
I hate NPCs.

Kind of weird seeing how much Desharik hates Saemon. One would think he would try to kill him, being so mad he murdered Cayia on the spot, and all.

bg2_up53_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ok, I'm done. You may continue with the script.

bg2_up53_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fine, I'll take it. Travelling with you I am fucked either way, so it shouldn't matter.

bg2_up53_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hope it's not Romulans.

bg2_up53_063.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'm not even listening to you anymore.

bg2_up53_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, I'm glad I did not take the point.

bg2_up53_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
They're teleporting onto our ship! Are they Romulans after all?

bg2_up53_066.jpg


I'm having some Mansions of Madness flashbacks right now.

bg2_up53_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Killing nameless NPCs does not actually prove any point. It's just wasting everybody's time.

bg2_up53_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Another guy teleporting. My to-kill list is getting pretty damn long.

bg2_up53_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let me guess. It's that blade he gave me?

Yup.

codex_10.jpg
I hate this guy so much.

bg2_up53_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I wish I had killed you and used the portal instead.

bg2_up53_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck you. Just.... Fuck you.

bg2_up53_072.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I like these guys' style. They don't screw around.

bg2_up53_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Busted!

bg2_up53_074.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Everyone cast their protection spells already?

You must have botched your reflexes check.

bg2_up53_075.jpg

codex_10.jpg
But I have passed my smarts check.

bg2_up53_076.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Don't tell me. This is not a real combat?

Yeah, it's more like a cutscene, actually.

codex_10.jpg
You could have told me this before I wasted my spell.

bg2_up53_077.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, FFS!

bg2_up53_078.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This guy is so fucking annoying!

bg2_up53_079.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ok, I just have to ask, what are these 'sahuagin'?

Fish people.

codex_10.jpg
Fish people...

eGl0OXY5MTI=_o_slayers-trouble-rahanimu-the-furious-fish-man.jpg


No. Not exactly.

bg2_up53_080.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck you all if you think I getting nothing from this fight. DIE!

Huh. It even worked.

bg2_up53_081.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, at least it's not the death screen...

Next time: The Codex' underwater adventures!

Ooh, ooh, will I meet April Ryan?

I wouldn't count on it.

Hey, whatever happened to Sime?

Ah, seems like issues with firewall (or whatever they use to block) is finally gone. Good, good...

I managed to murder the entire Underdark, exploring all the cities for the Drow High Priestess before the time ran out. But I had a six-man party, and therefore moar resources. Can The Codex top that, I wonder?

Could you specify what time limit you are talking about?

Gotcha! :smug:

If you take your sweet time running errands for the High Priestess, the Drow become all butthurt and seal the gates of Ust Natha, leaving you outside, and stopping the progression of the main quest, I think. Also, they reveal you for what you are. Not *quite* sure how many days do you have though. I played this game, like, 10 years ago.

That time limit hit me once by surprise, good times. I think it's only active during the very first few tasks for the priestess, though, when she explicitly tells you to hurry the fuck up.

There is only a time limit for certain quests in Ust Natha, and you're usually told about them. There is no time limit for the three cities bit.

I think the time limit only applies to some of Phaere's quests the allotted time is something like 1 or 3 days.

I could have sworn the Priestess said: "go stir shit up in one of the cities and get back here" and when I merrily started to clear 'em out one by one, the Drows lost their patience. But for all I know I *might* have wandered there before completing one of the earlier quests. It was 10 years ago :D

We've got the Sahuagin crap to deal with before Underdark incline though. I always hated fishman city.

Aw, you missed the occasion to kill Saemon when the githyanki attack. Though I guess it might have been difficult to do it before he teleports away with a single PC.

(It doesn't change much since he'll be back in ToB anyway. But it's quite enjoyable nonetheless.)

Yeah the beholder is the only good thing about it. It's just tedious for the most part.

We've been over this already. Spirit Armor works for ten turns, which is waaay too short for our needs. That spell slot has better uses IMO.
