Update #84: Not As Quick As We Hoped For

bg2_up84_000.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I think that message is meant for you.

bg2_up84_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Surprisingly, the amulet I got from Ellesime is actually decent, but still worse than the one I am wearing now.

bg2_up84_002.jpg

codex_15.jpg
So, are going to mention the PoE episode at all, or just ignore it and pretend it never happened?

We do not have to ignore it, but we are both grown men, so we can get over it and move on to business as usual.

bg2_up84_003.jpg

codex_15.jpg
Yeah, I thought you wouldn't want to remember how you got owned by three xaurips.

Hey, I was walking the Path of The Damned, and by myself too!

bg2_up84_004.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Cry me a river! They only got a small stat bonus, I have to deal with getting double damage from every attack! Including my own! And don't even get me started on the 'alone' part!

At least I try to help you in a pinch, instead of rooting for the other side!

bg2_up84_005.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, you help me! Right! When you are tired of seeing me die for the umpteenth time!

I just try to give you breathing room for using your own ideas!

bg2_up84_006.jpg


And you always claim you don't need my help anyway.

codex_10.jpg
Maybe that's because you enjoy seeing me suffer!

bg2_up84_007.jpg


That is what makes the readers happy!

codex_10.jpg
Fuck the readers!

bg2_up84_008.jpg


Now, now. They may be bloodthirsty animals, but they are all we have.

bg2_up84_009.jpg


Besides, they were voting on letting you have an ally just recently.

bg2_up84_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How did that go? What was the result?

Uhm...

bg2_up84_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I thought so.

bg2_up84_012.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess we should click on the stone head...

bg2_up84_013.jpg


I am imagining this is sang to the tune of 'The Wheels on the bus go round and round'. My son loves that song.

codex_10.jpg
You are sick. And your son too.

bg2_up84_014.jpg


Did you get that?

codex_10.jpg
Quite. :obviously:

codex_10.jpg
The first part is just an intro.

codex_10.jpg
'That which hath past is ne'er truly gone' means facing recycled enemies from my past.

codex_10.jpg
'History repeats though mortals choose not to see' means we will have to reload a lot.

codex_10.jpg
'A God that once hath been may be once again' means my ultimate quest will be to resurrect Eothas Bhaal.

codex_10.jpg
The third part is an interlude without meaning.

codex_10.jpg
And the two last parts mean I will meet someone who will pretend to be my ally, and then try to backstab me. This conflict will cause huge destruction that will end up in resurrecting Bhaal.

codex_10.jpg
And this someone will be connected to Bhaal somehow. Imoen, maybe? Because she is the other bhaalspawn out there?

'The other bhaalspawn'? Did you read the Allaundo's prophecies at all?

codex_10.jpg
Uhm, no? What about them?

bg2_up84_015.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wait, did you hear that?

Yeah, you better prepare.

bg2_up84_016.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ok, I'm prepared.

bg2_up84_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How did we get telepor- Wait, what did you just say?

bg2_up84_018.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I have another sister!

Congratulations on your family reunion...

codex_10.jpg
She wants to kill me!

Are you really surprised?

codex_10.jpg
Well, she's a woman so, no.

bg2_up84_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What do we have here? A weaboo, a nerd, a dumb brute, and a fanatic. I guess she doesn't have the balls to face me one-on-one.

bg2_up84_020.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Eat this, pissguzzlers!

bg2_up84_021.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I kind of expected a better result.

bg2_up84_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ow, and... ow.

This would be good moment to retreat.

bg2_up84_023.jpg

codex_10.jpg
One moment, teleportingfucker-kun.

bg2_up84_024.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Come back here, you coward!

The others, the others are here too!

bg2_up84_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
HeresThePartWhenYouAllDie!

bg2_up84_026.jpg


I wish that spell lasted a bit longer.

Death Count: 353

Load.

codex_10.jpg
I probably did not prepare well enough.

bg2_up84_027.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This should do the trick.

bg2_up84_028.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How the fuck did I lose my stoneskin so fast?!

bg2_up84_029.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Much better!

bg2_up84_030.jpg


Okay...

Death Count: 354

Load game.

codex_10.jpg
Did you see what happened?

You died?

codex_10.jpg
HAR-DEE-FUCKING-HAR-HAR!

bg2_up84_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck, I am completely exposed here!

bg2_up84_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I am getting a sense of deja vu...

At least you managed to... retreat with more than eleven hit points.

bg2_up84_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Good thing I prepared this spell twice.

I hope that is enough.

bg2_up84_034.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Here's a little softener for you fucktards.

bg2_up84_035.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Alright! Looking good!

bg2_up84_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Carsomyr says hi!

bg2_up84_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
AHAHAHA!

bg2_up84_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ah, shit, there's an arrow in my liver!

bg2_up84_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Don't panic... Don't panic...



bg2_up84_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Stop disappearing, you bitch!

Now you know how it works when you use Staff of the Magi...

bg2_up84_041.jpg


...Which is something you probably should have done here.

Death Count: 355

Loading.

codex_10.jpg
Well, it was a much better attempt than the first two.

Want to try again?

bg2_up84_042.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yes, but now I will reposition immediately.

bg2_up84_043.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Stay still for a moment...

bg2_up84_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
The fucker ran away again, but I feel like I've achieved a small tactical advantage.

bg2_up84_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, hi there, unprotected casters.

bg2_up84_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
HA!

bg2_up84_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
HAHA!

Your protection spell ran out...

codex_10.jpg
What? When?

bg2_up84_048.jpg


So sad.

Death Count: 356

Loading the game.

codex_10.jpg
Shit is serious now.

bg2_up84_049.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I've decided to go for the casters immediately, to not waste precious protected-from-magical-weapons time.

bg2_up84_050.jpg

codex_10.jpg
For fuck's sake!

bg2_up84_051.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fine, the weaboo dies first then!

bg2_up84_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Say hello to your shinigami!

bg2_up84_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Time to deploy spells of mass destruction!

bg2_up84_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuquick, protection!

bg2_up84_055.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I hate when she does that!

bg2_up84_056.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And you have exhausted my patience too.
codex_10.jpg
And you have exhausted my patience too.

bg2_up84_057.jpg

codex_10.jpg
DIE!

bg2_up84_058.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And you too!

bg2_up84_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Now just to make sure I won't die...

bg2_up84_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And now true- HOW DOES SHE DESTROY MY STONESKIN SO FAST?!

bg2_up84_061.jpg


Maybe because she is Illasera The Quick? Oh, you are dead.

Death Count: 357

Reloading.

codex_10.jpg
She has to die first.

bg2_up84_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This should prevent her disappearing bullshit.

bg2_up84_063.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hi there, sis!

bg2_up84_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
:x

bg2_up84_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is starting to look disturbingly familiar.

bg2_up84_066.jpg


Wait, they have Time Stop?

bg2_up84_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And she says: 'But this one is eating my pop-corn!'

What?

bg2_up84_068.jpg


Oh...

Death Count: 358

Reload.

codex_10.jpg
Well, THAT didn't work.

bg2_up84_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How about I use BOTH true sight and protection from the beginning?

'Protection from the beginning'? I am not familiar with that spell.

codex_10.jpg
Fuck your sense of humour!

bg2_up84_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And fuck this guy's shadow door.

bg2_up84_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Stay still, sister.

bg2_up84_072.jpg


Wow, he actually interrupted our Whirlwind.

bg2_up84_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What just happened?

Your Whirlwind expired during an enemy Time Stop.

codex_10.jpg
What? How? Why? Is it supposed to work like this?

Probably not.

bg2_up84_075.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Good think I am a Whirlwind Master.

bg2_up84_076.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Today on Codex TV: Exploding Reavers!

bg2_up84_077.jpg

codex_10.jpg
FUCK YOU!

bg2_up84_078.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I need a cloak that has this spell on permanent enchantment or something.

Ah, yes, The Cloak of Invincibility. You can buy with real money through micro-transactions.

codex_10.jpg
...

codex_10.jpg
H-

codex_10.jpg
How much is it?

I was only joking. But if Bioware was an EA division back then already, it would be pretty likely to exist.

bg2_up84_079.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess I will have to do without!

bg2_up84_080.jpg

codex_10.jpg
'They see me rollin', they hatin!'

Gangsta rap? Cannot you do better than that?

bg2_up84_081.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Sure I can.

bg2_up84_082.jpg

codex_10.jpg
'One by one, they will fall, down down!'

Close enough.

bg2_up84_083.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Only you and me now, sis!

bg2_up84_084.jpg

codex_10.jpg
'Listen to her voice again, sister sinister will say. Sister sinister will say how you're doing there today!'

bg2_up84_085.jpg

codex_10.jpg
FUCK!

bg2_up84_086.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck, fuck, fuck!

bg2_up84_087.jpg

codex_10.jpg
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! :rage:

bg2_up84_088.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'm not dying! Not at this point!

bg2_up84_089.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'll drink ever potion I have, if I need to!

bg2_up84_090.jpg

codex_10.jpg
*unk*

Codex? Codex! Get up! Get up!

bg2_up84_091.jpg


:negative:

Death Count: 358

Restore save state.

codex_10.jpg
She must be one using special arrows, the bitch.

Or maybe she is an archer.

codex_10.jpg
Either way, I'm going to need some help.

bg2_up84_092.jpg

codex_10a.jpg
What's up? I heard you got rid of Irenicus already.

codex_10.jpg
Heard where exactly?

codex_10a.jpg
You know. Around. So, where are we?

codex_10.jpg
How about you stop making small talk and prepare for battle?

bg2_up84_093.jpg

codex_10a.jpg
Will that be enough?

codex_10.jpg
...

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, totally.

bg2_up84_094.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Take care of the mage.

codex_10a.jpg
Consider it done.

bg2_up84_095.jpg

codex_10.jpg
First, the glass-cannon pseudo-asian.

bg2_up84_096.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Tell Yama I sent you, you'll get a group discount!

bg2_up84_097.jpg

codex_10.jpg
As for you, dear sister...

bg2_up84_098.jpg

codex_10.jpg
EAT STEEL!

codex_10.jpg
:yeah:

bg2_up84_099.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And now for her hench- Hey, where are you all going?!

bg2_up84_100.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Those fuckers escaped! With my XP!

Hey, you still won.

codex_10.jpg
No. This will not stand! I want them all dead! Here, at my feet!

You know it is not going to be easy. Are you ready to die trying? Die more, I mean.

codex_10.jpg
No. But I have an idea...

Loading against my better judgement.

bg2_up84_101.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You know, Illasera, you remind me of someone.

codex_10.jpg
She was called The Huntress. And she also appeared with a bunch of annoying friends all of a suden.

bg2_up84_102.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So I made sure there was a surprise waiting for them. :smug:

bg2_up84_103.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Do you like what I've done with the place? Because I do!

bg2_up84_104.jpg

codex_10.jpg
The cleric is yours.

codex_10a.jpg
Got it.

bg2_up84_105.jpg

codex_10a.jpg
I would like to make a confession.

bg2_up84_106.jpg

codex_10a.jpg
I hate priests!

codex_10.jpg
Good one.

bg2_up84_107.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Why escape, Annoyingfucker-kun? Are you not having fun?

codex_10a.jpg
Let's kill the big guy in the meantime.

bg2_up84_108.jpg

codex_10a.jpg
Nice!

codex_10.jpg
Alright, you kill off the scared one, while I deal with Illasera.

bg2_up84_109.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ah, here you are, sister.

bg2_up84_110.jpg

codex_10a.jpg
I'm done.

bg2_up84_111.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, me too.

bg2_up84_112.jpg

codex_10.jpg
:yeah:

bg2_up84_113.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And now I shall strip your corpse...

codex_10a.jpg
Ew.

codex_10.jpg
Of valuables! I meant of valuables!

codex_10a.jpg
Sure you did.

bg2_up84_114.jpg

codex_10.jpg
WHOA!

bg2_up84_115.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Where the fuck am I all of a sudden?

bg2_up84_116.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I feel quite well-prepared, actually.

bg2_up84_117.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, what do you know about my power, and how can I get more?

bg2_up84_118.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Right, good to know.

bg2_up84_119.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Waaaaaaait...

codex_10.jpg
Sarevok?

codex_10.jpg
...Son of a bitch...

Next time: The Codex will lose a part of his soul and then fight some of his former allies.

codex_10.jpg
What allies?

I thought you noticed this last year already...

Nice try. I'm not revealing any of our readers' names to you.

I though Ilassera didn't have any henchmen when playing solo. I guess it must be due to the Ascension mod.

It's vanilla BG2 actually. If you start a new TOB game you'll face Illasera alone, but if you continue from SOA the game assumes you have a party with you and adds a few goons to even the odds.

Poor Codex, you start every fight without any pre-casting (save for a stoneskin maybe) then end up dying several times untill resorting to simulacrum. Having a long-duration summon, like fire-elemental, with you when expecting a fight can't really be considered cheesing, right?

Probably true, but Codex was right saying that I like to see him suffer.

Jokes aside, I try to get through every combat with minimal required effort (least resources used up), that is just how I roll.

I don't think there's any particular need to put extra effort into making Codex suffer if you're going to be solo'ing Ascension. He will know pain.

Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

bg2_up84_038.jpg


Update #85: Blast From The Past

bg2_up85_000.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Holy shit, look at all these new spell slots!

This is also a dual level-up - fighter and mage.

bg2_up85_001.jpg


Because I always wanted to try it out.

bg2_up85_002.jpg


It is hard to tell how long until next level-up, since the amounts of Experience we get now are pretty ridiculous.

bg2_up85_003.jpg


I finally stopped myself from wasting points on Set Traps.

codex_10.jpg
You might actually learn to play this game some day.

bg2_up85_004.jpg


I do not think The Codex's saving throws are improving at this point, so we can only influence them by changing our equipment setup.

bg2_up85_005.jpg


We should probably get long sword proficiency next, for some sweet Crom Faeyr + Blackrazor combo. Although lack of training in two-weapon fighting could be a show-stopper here.

bg2_up85_006.jpg


Our hero can now carry 800 pounds without flinching. I wonder how much he could bench-press.

codex_10.jpg
We wouldn't even find a bench sturdy enough to try that.

bg2_up85_007.jpg


I like all those elemental resistances. 200 HP is not too shabby either.

codex_10.jpg
I've literally gone through hell to achieve all this.

bg2_up85_008.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seems like Bodhi will remain the queen of the corpse pile for a while.

bg2_up85_009.jpg


Our inventory space problems have become permanent.

bg2_up85_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wow, this guy is one stubborn bastard.

bg2_up85_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I am pretty tired of people implying I'm not powerful enough for something. Have you taken a good look at my stats?

bg2_up85_012.jpg

codex_10.jpg
If I created a mental cocoon, I would not include you, but rather a bunch of drow strippers.

bg2_up85_013.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, after all these efforts to kill you, I'm quite eager to return you to life. Except, you know, I'm not.

bg2_up85_014.jpg

codex_10.jpg
My 'destiny', huh?

bg2_up85_015.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Did you really just call me a fool?

bg2_up85_016.jpg

codex_10.jpg
But I would still get the satisfaction of killing you. Somewhat diminished by the fact it would be the THIRD FUCKING TIME.

bg2_up85_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Without the ambition, you're probably better off dead.

bg2_up85_018.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, it was worth a shot.

bg2_up85_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I knew there must have been a reason for dragging Imoen around!
tl;dr: We agreed to resurrect Sarevok with a piece of Codex's bhaalspawn soul.

I have been running around without my soul for so long that I won't even notice missing a piece of it.

bg2_up85_021.jpg

codex_10.jpg
He looks healthier already.

bg2_up85_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I might have sold that sword to someone at some point.... Maybe.

bg2_up85_023.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'm watching.

bg2_up85_024.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Why exactly can you do that, and not me?

bg2_up85_025.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is supposed to be my micro-plane, isn't it?

bg2_up85_026.jpg

codex_10.jpg
It would be funny if this didn't work.

bg2_up85_027.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is a very poorly explained plot railroading device.

bg2_up85_028.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You seem to know a lot for a guy that has been out of the loop for quite some time.

bg2_up85_029.jpg

codex_10.jpg
All aboard the plot train!

bg2_up85_030.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Good.
tl;dr: We need to face a hellish challenge and then go to Saradush. Conveniently, the portal present here will teleport us exactly there.

bg2_up85_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That sounds... interesting.

bg2_up85_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Waaaaaait... I remember something...

codex_10.jpg
And the two last parts mean I will meet someone who will pretend to be my ally, and then try to backstab me. This conflict will cause huge destruction that will end up in resurrecting Bhaal.

codex_10.jpg
And this someone will be connected to Bhaal somehow. Imoen, maybe? Because she is the other bhaalspawn out there?
codex_10.jpg
He's the one the stone head was talking about!

bg2_up85_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
An oath. Yeah, right.

bg2_up85_034.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Like I will believe a word you say.

bg2_up85_035.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Here's an oath for you.

bg2_up85_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
'I shall not leave loose ends.'

bg2_up85_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
See? I'm good at keeping these.

bg2_up85_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And the fucker was poor too. What a waste of time.

bg2_up85_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
After that little distraction, let's see about that challenge.

bg2_up85_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Looks weird.

bg2_up85_041.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Whoa! Spontaneously appearing neckbeards! This is truly hell!

bg2_up85_042.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wait, 'Gavid'? You're thinly-disguised David Gaider!

bg2_up85_043.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Local girls? Aren't you gay?

bg2_up85_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
But retribution for what? I have been a perfect boy-scout all... Well, most of the time.

bg2_up85_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess you're not telling me anything else...

bg2_up85_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Commoners?

bg2_up85_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Don't tell me you are here to avenge that random guy who died during my previous hell trials.

bg2_up85_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Apparently, you are.

bg2_up85_049.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Sure...

bg2_up85_050.jpg

codex_10.jpg
They're trying to zerg-rush my ass!

bg2_up85_051.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, it's your funeral.

bg2_up85_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And since I hate wasting time...

bg2_up85_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
:yeah:

bg2_up85_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
FFS, enough of this!

bg2_up85_055.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Go away!

bg2_up85_056.jpg

codex_10.jpg
There! Are we done finally?

bg2_up85_057.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What the-

bg2_up85_058.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuck!

bg2_up85_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Burn, pointy-eared bitches!

bg2_up85_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Stop being alive!

bg2_up85_061.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Die, die, die!

bg2_up85_062.jpg

codex_10.jpg
There, DONE!

bg2_up85_063.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What.

codex_10.jpg
Why the fuck are Aran Linvail, duke Eltan and fucking ELLESIME attacking me!? I'm on their side!

bg2_up85_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
But if they want to die, I will be happy to oblige!

bg2_up85_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Choke on this, bitch!

bg2_up85_066.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That will teach you to tease The Codex!

bg2_up85_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You're next, Duke Nukem 2D!

bg2_up85_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
On second thought, that might have been not the best choice of ability against someone who is wearing a helmet.

Epic HLA denied by a 1GP equipment piece.

bg2_up85_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
How have you survived this long?

bg2_up85_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
All these summons are annoying as fuck!

bg2_up85_071.jpg




Death Count: 360

Loading.

codex_10.jpg
That challenge is slightly more challenging than I anticipated.

bg2_up85_072.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I just couldn't wait to slaughter you all, so I came here before you could come to me.

bg2_up85_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yes, yes, show me what you got.

bg2_up85_074.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Burn in my fire!

bg2_up85_075.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What? Feeling at a disadvantage up-close?

bg2_up85_076.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Git gud.

bg2_up85_077.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ha! Not a scratch on me!

bg2_up85_078.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Who the fuck are you?

bg2_up85_079.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Whoever you are, I dislike you.

bg2_up85_080.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So, die.

bg2_up85_081.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Obedience must be a virtue in their order.

bg2_up85_082.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, hello there, my 'good friends'.

bg2_up85_083.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh shit, did he just use whirlwind?

bg2_up85_084.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ouch, yup, he did. Not cool.

bg2_up85_086.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This should help a bit.

bg2_up85_087.jpg

codex_10.jpg
My turn!

bg2_up85_088.jpg

codex_10.jpg
OW! Get those fucking insects off me!



bg2_up85_089.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Shit, how do I defend against these!

Have you tried a bug spray? Oh, wait, they have not been invented yet.

bg2_up85_090.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I'm not dying to bugs!

You should avoid starring in most modern games though.

bg2_up85_091.jpg

codex_10.jpg
No! Fuck off with the summons!

bg2_up85_092.jpg


I am sure we will figure this out eventually.

Death Count: 361

Load.

codex_10.jpg
Is there written 'and then you die' in death fog's description somewhere. In small print, maybe?

I suspect the spell's creator hated chaotic evil elven godlings.

bg2_up85_093.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, yeah, I am here to kill you all.

bg2_up85_095.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And you too.

bg2_up85_098.jpg

codex_10.jpg
MWAHAHAHAHAHA! Slaughter!

You have not used Death Spell this time. Why? You said you hated wasting time.

bg2_up85_099.jpg

codex_10.jpg
It's not wasting time if they EXPLODE WITH BLOOD AND GUTS!

Ok.

bg2_up85_100.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And the game has become less buggy in an instant!

bg2_up85_101.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not so tough without Arkanis Gath, are you now?

bg2_up85_102.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Alright, L-tank, come at me, bro.

bg2_up85_103.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seems like you've forgotten to sharpen your sword!

bg2_up85_104.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Why did I even bother to save you back in the day?!

bg2_up85_105.jpg

codex_10.jpg
WHOA!

bg2_up85_106.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Gaider? Didn't you die?

bg2_up85_107.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Who cares as long as I am able to kill everyone who threatens me?

bg2_up85_108.jpg

codex_10.jpg
New ability? Cool! What does it do?

You can use it to teleport back here.

codex_10.jpg
But... There's nothing here... Or is there?

Next time: We shall meet one very annoying creature and then run away from home.

bg2_up85_108.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Loot!

Huh? What's the difference between "magic" and "magic damage"?
Resistance to magic is a % that a spell will not affect you at all (% chance to avoid all damage or being charmed, for example).
Resistance to magic damage is a % reduction of magical (arcane) damage you take - like that from spells such as Magic Missile or Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting.

Creeping Doom (as its lower-level version Insect Plague) can be a horrible pain in the ass for a wizard. It makes it pretty much impossible to cast anything and will rid you of your Stoneskin in very little time. Not sure there's any way of dispelling the spell before its normal end.

That's actually a feature that came with mods. In vanilla only magic resistance and Magic Immunity work against the evil bees. Well that and spell level immunities like Liches have.
