At the forum image size, Sendai just looks like an Indian belly dancer.

Bros, I have another game-stopping bug. Abazigal stays at Near Death forever. I have dealt over 100 damage to him in this state and he still does not die. Apparently it is some kind of script problem, and I am not the first one to encounter it:

http://www.sorcerers.net/community/index.php?threads/abazigal-refuses-to-die.45695/

No idea what to do. Maybe I will just uninstall Ascension to somehow finish the game. Pretty disappointed about that.

Did you try dealing 101 damage?:troll:
But really, do whatever you think you should, just as long as you post up the gory details of finding this bug.

:yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

I have beaten him. Now to sort the 600+ screenshots and we are good to go.

Maybe just console kill him?
You could try the console cheats and use the hotkey for instakilling an enemy. Might work.
That would be a last-resort approach.

But really, do whatever you think you should, just as long as you post up the gory details of finding this bug.
The story is not that interesting. I used a Time Stop spam + Whirlwind spam to fight him, and he stayed at Near Death forever, even after the Time Stop expired.

In the thread you linked to, DavidW (author of SCS) states that he caused the bug and posts a fix. But you don't play with SCS installed, right? Anyway, if you do have the abazdrag.ssl file, you could make a copy and try to apply the fix he posts.
I do not have SCS, but Ascension can also confilct with Unfinished Business, and I have that. I did not need to modify the file after all, as I had another idea to get around the bug, which worked.

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

That is why you should never let a woman touch you.

Update #106: A Farewell to Dragons, part I - Ego of Draconis

bg2_up106_001.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What? Where...? Are you an angel? Am I dead?

I do not think you would be seeing angels after death.

codex_10.jpg
Fuck you, I have a spotless reputation.

And a body count in the thousands.

codex_10.jpg
But they were all monsters, or bad guys!

codex_10.jpg
Alright, almost all...

bg2_up106_002.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fucking A. I have always felt like someone out there has been actively trying to make my life difficult. Now I have confirmation.

bg2_up106_003.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Get on with it.

bg2_up106_004.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You look familiar...

bg2_up106_005.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Like I have any choice.

bg2_up106_006.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Are you really Future Me...?

codex_10.jpg
Do I get lots of poon after this questline ends?

bg2_up106_007.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, bro, I know I am the good guy. It is everyone else who seems to have a problem with this.

bg2_up106_008.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not every souls's life is as railroaded as mine.

bg2_up106_009.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, it would.

bg2_up106_010.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I thought she would never leave.

bg2_up106_011.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I think we've got a short circuit here. Where's the maintenance when you need it...?

bg2_up106_012.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yeah, yeah.

bg2_up106_013.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Aaaaand back to business.

bg2_up106_014.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's see what you've been fighting with, Sendai.

bg2_up106_015.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Wong Fei Hung?! Hell yeah!

bg2_up106_016.jpg




bg2_up106_017.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Getting hit never seemed like a winning strategy to me.

bg2_up106_019.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Either I forgot to kill those before, or this place gets infested really fast.

bg2_up106_020.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Time to leave.

bg2_up106_021.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Ah, fresh air, finally. When I am making my evil lair, remind me to get some proper ventilation, or just never bring any myconids inside. The spores are EVERYWHERE.

bg2_up106_022.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I think I've earned a good night's sleep, in a real bed, don't you think?

I am inclined to agree.

bg2_up106_023.jpg


bg2_up106_024.jpg


We might consider sacrificing a couple of THAC0 bonuses for AC/HP. The Codex never misses anyway.

bg2_up106_025.jpg


bg2_up106_026.jpg


I think it is too late to try and invest into dual-wielding, which is a bit of a bummer, but no big deal.

codex_10.jpg
Crom Faeyr/Blackrazor combo would be SWEET, though.

Yeah, it would.

bg2_up106_027.jpg


We could use more elemental resistances, but I am not sure which items would be best for that.

codex_10.jpg
I did enjoy my fire immunity when I had it.

bg2_up106_028.jpg


We have actually surpassed 3000 kills, and will soon reach 15 million kill XP.

bg2_up106_029.jpg


bg2_up106_030.jpg


This is a good setup for trash mobs, when we do not need to cast spells.

bg2_up106_064.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I truly needed that. Especially the bath.

bg2_up106_031.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Now I have a thing or two to deal at home.

bg2_up106_032.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I don't think I'm using that any more.

You do not get better backstabbing tool than Blackrazor. You just do not.

bg2_up106_033.jpg

codex_10.jpg
15% chance to drain one level. Bitch, please.

bg2_up106_034.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That, I am using. Sometimes.

bg2_up106_035.jpg


Disappointingly, no new abilities. Just all the +5s changed into +6s.

bg2_up106_036.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I didn't even remember I had this.

bg2_up106_037.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Too gimmicky.

bg2_up106_038.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I vaguely remember this one.

bg2_up106_039.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Actually pretty cool. I can finally put that crappy anti-undead mace to rest.

In before we never meet any undead again.

bg2_up106_040.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Is it a short bow?

bg2_up106_041.jpg

codex_10.jpg
What do you know, it is a short bow. Too bad it sucks. 5% resistance. Not sure if that's funny or sad.

bg2_up106_042.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Okay, let's see what's in the basement.

bg2_up106_044.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Seriously, 'people appearing out of nowhere' got old a while ago. If I played a drinking game every time this happens, I would die of alcohol poisoning long ago. DESPITE BEING IMMUNE TO POISON.

bg2_up106_045.jpg

codex_10.jpg
You are who?

bg2_up106_046.jpg

codex_10.jpg
No, seriously. I never needed you in the past, and I doubt I am going to in the future.

bg2_up106_047.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Somehow, I doubt that...

codex_10.jpg
:yeah:

bg2_up106_048.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I still fail to see why I would need doubt, though.

bg2_up106_049.jpg


The funny sad thing is, refusing is the only option. What even was the fucking point of this conversation?

bg2_up106_050.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, look, a slayer.

bg2_up106_051.jpg


Giving us a slayer to kill at this point is like saying 'we got nothing' by the designers.

codex_10.jpg
Hey, at least it's not fucking Sarevok.

bg2_up106_052.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Bored now.

bg2_up106_053.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Either I am very unlucky here, or he is immune to vorpal hits.

Sadly, it is probably the latter.

And what is worse, this becomes an annoying standard from now on.

bg2_up106_054.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Let's see if he is immune to backstabs too.

bg2_up106_055.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Yep. Also, dat damage reduction. So cheap.

bg2_up106_057.jpg


Here is a proof of vorpal hit immunity.

bg2_up106_058.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This is when I switch to Blackrazor.

bg2_up106_059.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hey, finally an opportunity to use a different ability. (Not that it will help much.)

bg2_up106_060.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Finally!

bg2_up106_061.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Hey, I got a new power!

Dark Taint (Necromancy)

Range: 20 feet
Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: Negates

Through this spell, the Bhaalspawn can expel the taint of their evil sire onto a victim, poisoning those who fail their save vs. death. The effects depend upon the caster's level and are detailed below:

7-9th level: 2d8 + 2/round, slow for 12 seconds, save at -2
10-12th level: 3d8 + 3/round, slow for 12 seconds, save at -2
13-14th level: 4d8 + 4/round, slow for 12 seconds, save at -2
15-16th level: 6d8 + 5/round, slow for 24 seconds, save at -2
17-21st level: 8d8 + 6/round, slow for 24 seconds, save at -4
25th level: 8d8 + 6/round, slow for 36 seconds, save at -4, affects group of targets
Finally, a mod change that is actually beneficial for us.

bg2_up106_062.jpg

codex_15.jpg
MOAR SPELLS!

bg2_up106_063.jpg


Heh, we have reached Greater Whirlwind ability use cap (20), we can only take regular Whirlwind from now on.

bg2_up106_065.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Alright, let's move on! Bhaalspawns won't kill themselves!

bg2_up106_066.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Man, remember when I was waylaid by enemies all the time.

I guess by now most predators sense that attacking you would be unwise. And the sentient beings know you by reputation.

codex_10.jpg
My reputation is flawless!

Flawless Destroyer Of Everything That Stands In Your Way, maybe.

bg2_up106_067.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Look at the size of these stairs, the owner must be compensating for something. Or be a giant.

bg2_up106_068.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, wait. Not a giant. A dragon, right?

Yeah, I thought you would figure this one out pretty fast.

codex_10.jpg
With a name like Draconis, it's is not even funny.

bg2_up106_069.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Now I know why dragons grow so large. They wouldn't be able to contain their ego otherwise.

bg2_up106_070.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I notice a jarring lack of wings and claws.

I think you need to defeat his human form first.

bg2_up106_071.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Human form. Dragon form. I knew you'd eventually find a way to turn this LP into a DBZ fanfiction.

It is not even me! Bioware must had been going through their 'multi-stage boss' phase when they designed these parts.

bg2_up106_072.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Mislead?

bg2_up106_073.jpg

codex_10.jpg
That will not protect you!

bg2_up106_074.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Okay, this will...

bg2_up106_075.jpg


I did not expect time stop here.

bg2_up106_076.jpg


You can stop hacking at invisible stalkers now. He used time stop, so his protection from magical weapons is gone now.

codex_10.jpg
Ah, cool.

bg2_up106_077.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Any last words?

bg2_up106_078.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I shouldn't have asked.

bg2_up106_079.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I guess I've got what I wanted.

bg2_up106_080.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Not much I can do when he is immune to my weapons. Can't really cast spells in this armor.

You could try fighting him with a regular sword.

codex_10.jpg
Now that's just silly.

bg2_up106_081.jpg

codex_10.jpg
So, does that protection spell still work?

bg2_up106_082.jpg

codex_10.jpg
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! IT BURNS!!!

Whoa, that acid breath is a bit OP.

bg2_up106_084.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This should help.

bg2_up106_085.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Well, it did help. Let's remember this after we reload.

bg2_up106_086.jpg


Yup, it was too late to salvage this situation.

Death Count: 392

Load.

codex_10.jpg
The guy is relentless, I'll give him that.

bg2_up106_087.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I shouldn't even leave home without stoneskin on.

bg2_up106_088.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Okay, I'm ready. Bring on the wings and shit.

bg2_up106_089.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I am going to witness the future. But you aren't.

bg2_up106_090.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, yeah, invisible dragons. That's definitely new.

bg2_up106_092.jpg

codex_10.jpg
There you are. Prepare to die!

bg2_up106_093.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Urk.

bg2_up106_094.jpg

codex_10.jpg
This guy is fucking annoying.

bg2_up106_095.jpg

codex_10.jpg
STOP WITH THE ACID BREATH ALREADY!

bg2_up106_096.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Fuckdamnit. He's dead at last. Not a moment too soon.

bg2_up106_097.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And what's with this invisible stalker entourage?

bg2_up106_098.jpg

codex_10.jpg
And what do we have here?

bg2_up106_099.jpg

codex_10.jpg
These are like a counterpart to Wong Fei's stone.

bg2_up106_100.jpg

codex_10.jpg
I didn't even realize I was barred from entry.

bg2_up106_101.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Oh, fuck off already!

bg2_up106_102.jpg

codex_10.jpg
Five gold pieces say the other side of this door will not accommodate dragon size.

Next time: The Codex will get some sink or swim treatment.

Next update was planned for tomorrow, but will most likely happen near the end of the month.

Good going. Just one death in the battle with Draconis makes it look like it was rather easy. I'm curious about Abazigal though.

In vanilla ToB, Draconis was amusingly a lot more dangerous than his father.

Ego Draconis? That was the only Larian game that I managed to finish (only 20h long). Still p.gut but need to clean some stuff (backlog) before venturing into Flames of Vengeance.
I'm amazed that you managed to beat him despite all that acid bombardment and effects. But that's because I'm mediocre d&d player more than that.
P. gut update as always.
