Perhaps a young lady or a pretty boy could join our merry band?

and then this avatar

I thought my character would be a tranny there for a moment, close call, too close.

I thought about going down that road for a bit but then deiced it would be a bit much.

I had high hopes for the sirens. Areas to the south won't pose any threat anymore (xept for drizzt if you are feeling suicidal)... so the survival odds are depressingly high for some time

The sirens almost got me. Lucky for us only Gunker got Dire Charmed the first time. It was also a bit close when The Barbarian started wailing on Paco at the end of the battle.

Keep in mind that with SCS and the other mods death is always a possibility.

Ulminati · Sep 11, 2010

Paco, Merk and Satori at 5AC and Grunker at 1AC aren't going to die anytime soon

Grunker · Sep 11, 2010

Once again, Grunker saves the day!

What do you mean "lucky" I got charmed? Are you implying my Warhammer-arm is weak?! HUH?!?

Great LP - continue.

Fake EDIT: Oh, and I agree with the others. Less pictures per page would be a real treat.

Azira · Sep 11, 2010

What? Nobody died? :decline:

oldmanpaco · Sep 12, 2010

Chapter 5: Part 2

We continue to explore the Sword Coast

The Barbarian is curious if we plan on helping these sirens?

Not really planning on it. Just didn't want to have to fight more sirens.

Oh baby here we go.

Paco and The Barbarian Level Up

Tell me Nick - could you build a Flesh Golem?

Perhaps.. but why?

Oh I can just imagine the possibilities.

We head to the North Sword Coast

Ha! His penis got him killed.

No shame in that death...

Paco Death #2

And we are Back

Holy shit she killed him! Get her!

Now when you say 'Interesting'...

What just happened?

To bad we couldn't keep her.

Good news! The Wand of Summoning works.

We Head to the South Sword Coast

Who's he shouting to?

Oh.

Way to not take the higher paying side for once.

]

Well damn. Kill everyone I guess.

You know we would have actually gotten paid for this from the other guy.

Yes, yes lessons learned and all that.

Alright lets go.

Just one second.

Is it really a good idea to take that idol?

Oh, I'm sorry are you afraid of the idol?

You saw what happened to those men.

Be careful! It's coming for you: BOOGA WOOGA BOOGA!

If you're scared Merk, you can sleep next to me tonight. I will protect you...

The Barbarian tires of this foolishness. We go now.

I am 100% certain this guy has nothing to do with the Idol.

I love riddles!

It's war.

War doesn't appear to everyone you idiot. Maybe The Moon?

Exactly who does the moon fight you imbecile?

Well what do you think it is then?

I think it's The Circus.

...

The Circus. Really?

What? I like the Circus.

The Barbarian knows death when he sees it.

We take Brage to Nashkel

Alright we did some good work these last few days. Got some field work in and no one died.

Shocking.

Anyway every get some sleep. Tomorrow we go back to fulfilling my destiny.

Next: We Advance the Plot Again

I have another update ready to go (pics edited and uploaded) but I will wait until a new page for the hardware challenged. The next update is less than 100 images (not including pc pics for dialog). The chapter 3-5 updates have been loaded in 100+ blocks.

I will try to keep updates around 100 max but if you only want one update per page you all better post some filler to get to new pages.

taplonaplo · Sep 12, 2010

I might be wrong but on the highest difficulty i remember monsters dealt double damage (well magic missiles sure as hell hit for 10). How come the doomsayer hit grunker for only 7 :roll:

I hope you will kite drizzt to death. Merk could use the scimitars.

Uh, is this really necesary? This new resolution is a big pain in the ass to load and to follow.

Only playing on core-rules. If I played on highest difficulty with SCSI/II and the other mods I would be killed all the time. Despite your adoration of my abilities I am not a BG expert.

Not sure when I should go after Drizzt. If I go to soon even if we win he could kill most of the party and that would be a pain in the ass. I also don't really want to resort to completely cheezy methods of killing him like the island deal or trapping him in a group of dismissed party members.

Satori (original) · Sep 12, 2010

Badass?

Satori (original) · Sep 12, 2010

Badass.

Chapter 5 and 6 are 1280x800. If people think it's overkill then I will go back to scaling down to 1024x640. I think it's easier to read 1280x800 but I'll do what people want.

Ulminati · Sep 12, 2010

Holy Fuck the Barbarian is a manly man!

Satori (original) · Sep 12, 2010

No, the text is actually readable now, keep it.

taplonaplo · Sep 12, 2010

Well as i remember you could only hit him with crit. So you could only kill him with cheese or stupid lot of summons.

taplonaplo · Sep 12, 2010

On resolution: i would prefer 1024x640 personally.

Ulminati · Sep 12, 2010

The lower resolution is preferrable, but no need to resize the screenshots you already took.

More bump

Grunker · Sep 12, 2010

Nah, at the higher levels he is possible to destroy without cheese, especially in BGT where you can get Lower Resistance.

Also - onwards to the next page!

Bumping LP's to the next page = Best way to raise your post count legitimately.

taplonaplo · Sep 12, 2010

How is it not cheese to use BG2 spells on encounters that were not designed for them?

The Larswood Massacre

Alright lets get this party started. I have a good feeling about the next few days.

You all mind if we go to High Hedge to buy some spells first. Seems like random monsters no longer drop them.

A smashing idea. Let's go.

We Travel to High Hedge

Nick buys and scribes some spells.

Nick and Merk Level Up

We Travel to Beregost

Hear that Grunker? Everyone is talking about me.

Gods I hate you.

Who the hell is Elminster?

OK people we are about to meet with a Flaming Fist officer. Lets keep quite about all the Flaming Fist soldiers we have killed so far.

OK from now on we need to take the scalps of bandits.

The Barbarian has scalps.

You do? From bandits?

The Barbarian mostly has bandit scalps.

But we just found out they are worth money...

The Barbarian does not understand your questioning tone.

OK then. Let's sell them.

Let us review the documentation. I believe there is an agent of Tazok in this town.

Alright when Grunker stops running around like a little girl we can move out.

We Travel to Larswood

Is it just me or was that battle significantly harder than it should have been?

Hmm. I did burn through most of my healing spells.

Get it together you pansies. There are like 15 dead of them and no dead for us. Let's talk to this gnome.

What the hell are we going to do with an Amber Gem. I though he hid something interesting.

My God - They killed Satori!

And look what they are doing to the body...

To bad he is dead. He might have enjoyed that.

What to say about a man like Satori..

He enjoyed his tight dark spaces.

Truer words were never spoken.

Goddammit Paco!

What? This guy is bat-shit crazy. What's the worst that could happen.

Another dead body to lay on your door step.

You can't blame me for that. Merk charmed the bear! He just didn't tell it to stop eating him.

We would not even had to have had this fight if you were not such a jackass.

You don't know that!

The Barbarian sees a man approaching.

What got Nick?

Looked like a Call Lightning spell.

The Barbarian thinks we should return to town and consider the leadership question.

What? You cannot blame me for all this. The weak die and the strong live. It's the way of the world.

How many have to die before you realize your mistakes?

If you are so unhappy with my leadership why don't you leave? What's keeping you here.

My reasons are my own and I do not need to share them with you. Regardless we need to bury our dead and get back to town.

Merk we hardly knew you. But you deserved a better fate.

Nick I guess great things were only in store for me. Sorry about that.

We head back to Beregost

We are back in town. Now what?

Next some stuff happens and Grunker and Paco argue about it.

oldmanpaco · Sep 12, 2010

This is as far as I've played. I will try to regroup and maybe have an update Sunday.

Edit: I also need to do smaller, more frequent updates. I knew Nick and Merk were dead before I started the Chapter 5 updates. That makes it difficult to build characterizations for them because I know they are going to die soon.

Merk and Nickless should resubmit characters. I'll try to do do better next time.
