Let's Play - BGT with a Codex Crew

This is sort of an uninteresting update. I have another one ready to go that will be much better. I was going to do it in one post but it works out better to split it up.

This is beautiful, mang.

Credit where credit is due. These are the actual words of The Barbarian back on page 8 or 9.

She's right. You might be the least fun of all the people who have traveled with us.

Ah.. Exactly how many people have traveled with you?

Not important. Lets go.

Class.

Chapter 10: One Dark Day

At the Red Sheaf Inn
Everyone ready?
I would still like to know what happened to your previous companions.
They were measured by the gods and found lacking. Let's go.
But what does that mean?

We Travel to the Cloakwood Forest




Well those guys weren't so hard. And somebody wanted us to find this cloak! Things are looking up.



This situation reeks of Druids.
Just try to find a peaceful outcome.
You know me - diplomacy first.



Dammit Paco..
What? I actually tried.




See everything worked out.
This time...
The Barbarian thinks this worrying is below you Grunker. What comes, comes.
You two talk as if everything is preordained. As if we have no say in the outcome of our lives. But we do. We can walk away.
And where would I go? Assassins hunt me, my father is dead, I have no home. What will I do?
I don't know. I just don't want us to end up like the rest.
OK I demand to know what happened to your other companions!




We Head Deeper Into Cloakwood





The Barbarian wonders why we always agree to find people who are obviously dead.
This time we might be able to save someone.
The Barbarian thinks that unlikely.
I don't mind it. I find it amusing watching you guys carry around rotting corpses.




Did you see those things jumping around?
Yes Phase Spiders can be a bit tricky.
You OK Paco? You look a bit peckish.
No worries I'll be fine.

Whoa.. Let's take five here.

Tap and SMA Level Up





Grunker please - What happened to the others?
Ok here is what happened: Ulminati died, then DP died, then SMA died, then Satori died, then Merk died, then Nickless died, then you joined up. Feel better.
...
You people are fun.
As soon as we get out of this woods I'm gone. I don't have death wish.
Wise decision.


OK new plan.
God I hate it when you say that.
Wulf - you're on point.
I shall be honored, for my faith is my shield.
Dammit Wulf.




Wow. He went down quick.
Poor bastard. It was his last day, he was getting out.
The Barbarian fears that no one gets out.


He was a little weakling but goddamn he could shoot a bow.


If you're an idiot with a magic sword I bet this is where you would go.
Truer words are rarely spoken.
Can-it tits. Grunker has the snarky commentary job in this group.




Why do you do that?
What? She's fat. Hit her with that firewand thingy SMA!






See it all worked out.

Um.. looks like the spiders are still attacking.
No worries. We got this.


Jesus what is that?
Don't know, don't care. But we should probably kill it quick.


You better heal them Grunker! Their about to die.
Dammit.

...




Let's get what we came for and get out.




We Return to Beregost



Why did the Barbarian have to die?
We are all going to die. His time came.
He was better than you Paco, he was better than me.
Then why did you save me? We were both held, we were both about to die, but you saved me.
I.. don't know.
We cannot choose our fates. The Barbarian met his.
No. You led him to this fate, you choose it. Like SMA, and DP and the rest. You led them you their deaths.
What's done is done. There is no going back- all we can do is move on.
No. I'm tired of burying companions. I'm finished.
No one ever forced you to travel with me.
Yes they did. They told me to watch you and try to keep you alive.
Who gave you those instructions?
The Church of Helm.
Why? Who am I to them?
I don't know and I no longer care.
So your running away?
No Paco, I'm walking away. Farewell.




The Barbarian does not 'die'. He merely chooses to rage across a different plane.

Rage In Peace, Barbarian. You truly were the best of us

Also, don't let Grunker walk man! He's the last of the original 5 schmucks. I want to see him survive to BG2 at least.

Though he walks through the valley of the shadow of death, Conan shall fear no evil. For he is truly the baddest man there.

Walk on, dear comrades. Walk on.

Great updates
I guess i got 2 shotted in the end, classy. Shame about the barb
New recruits, yummy!

Rest in Rage, barbarian. What a cliffhanger-ending.

The barbarian killed by a spider? Oh, the shame.. He shall be missed.

grunker luckiest character so far, dies only with paco.

looking forward to his comeback.

to the noble warrior. His rage set an example to all of us.

I think him leaving the party now is going to be the only way he can survive till BG2

In the light of day and with the effects of all that beer faded I have determined I suck at ‘fan’ fiction.

Awesome LP. Keep it up.

And :tear: for the passing of The Barbarian.

Is this the queue for the meatshield vacancy?

I've been working some extended hours the last few days. I made some progress last night but it's a pain in the ass to keep creating new companions.

First I need to figure out which one to add, then find their info in the thread, then roll them up, then get their portraits to work (bmp people!), then have them join the party, then edit their xp, then figure out what equipment I need to get for them, then have them die stupidly, then start the process over again.

Anyway I’ll try to get something done tonight because I probably won’t be able to do an update again until at least Sunday.

oldmanpaco, I'm using IrfanView to prepare the ports for you (since I guessed you had lots to do anyway), but if you want to them yourself, just use that. It takes me about 1 minute pr. portrait.
