Pretty much.

Ulminati · Oct 30, 2010

Ah, nice. It remembered minsc was dead

Nope. We are just not close enough to see him yet. I was a little disappointing myself.

hoverdog · Oct 30, 2010

he'll be dead soon enough, won't he? won't he?

Chapter 21: The Chateau Irenicus - Part 1

OK I don't really want to exert myself by killing everything alone. Let's see who else is around.

I can tell this one is going to be a lot of fun.

I seem to recall having a two minute conversation with her before. She irritated me then as well.

Do we really want a man willing to hide a rodent in, er, my point is do we really want him with us?

To be honest I'm pretty sure I killed him once.

Then why is he coming with us? Also why is he alive?

Hey I wanted to leave him in the cage. He is the one that busted out.

Alright lets loot this room and get moving.

Good we found these. I was worried they had been lost.

Found the key to the bitches cage.

Team Paco

Nothing is ever easy.

Looks dangerous.

Minsc get in there and check things out.

Well that was moderately pointless.

Ah! Excellent weapons instead of magical ones. This should not be irritating at all.

I say we destroy these now and prevent them from possibly running all the way to a room on the other side of the map and attacking us later.

Why not.

I'm starting to like that chick Paco. She's all 'dark and disturbed'.

I'd like her more if she would shut the hell up.

Let's go see what the jar people have to say.

Well that was a quality use of my time.

Paco, if you ever reach this destiny of yours - I want a harem of dryads as a reward for my help.

Consider it done my friend.

I'm not really sure we are friends...

That's just hurtful.

I bet some golems would be charging at us right now. Good thing they are dead.

OK we found the portal key. Let's go find those acorns and leave.

Wonder what's in here?

God I hate those flying rodents.

Back to the Dryads

Back to the Genie

If everyone is done whining lest go through the portal.

Next - We mock Jaheria's loss.

oldmanpaco · Oct 31, 2010

God dammit. Just spent an hour making an update at Firefox crashed on me. Dammit, dammit dammit.

ironyuri · Oct 31, 2010

Are you dual classing Paco to wizard again?

Also- You missed a golden opportunity for humour with the sewerage golem.... one might have called it a...

Prosperous Turd Golem!

:yeah:

Chapter 21: The Chateau Irenicus - Part 2

We go through the Portal

Real group of superstars you have assembled here chief.

Guess what? Beggars can't be choosers.

Some people just don't know how to handle a fallen companion.

I suppose they were married.

You never met the guy. Think a less useful but equally annoying Jaheira.

My loss I guess.

Lord Paco Levels Up

You know Morcar I have been thinking.

Oh good.

It's not really dignified for a god to be beating people into a pulp from the front lines.

Pretty sure you're not a god.

No I think gods strike down their enemies with the force of their wills. The bludgeoning work is for the minions.

Thank you for that. I suppose I will keep on bludgeoning.

Yes you do that. As for me, I am going to devote my efforts into learning the arcane arts.

Good for you. When we get out of here I'm sure you'll make a grea-, er fin-, er adequate wizard.

No, no, now is the time for change.

Really? Right here in this dungeon? Not sure the circumstances favor a change in careers.

Morkar you are my oldest and closest friend but once again you have earned my contempt.

I'm not your friend.

You see the circumstances adjust to a man like me. A man with a destiny. Not the other way around.

Lord Paco Duel Classes to a Mage

Not to sure about cloning the same woman over and over again.

True. Variety is the spice of life.

Was that a bloody vampire?

So it seemed. Don't worry about it. They are rare and we will probably not see anymore of them.

Doppelganger?

Doppelganger.

We going to kill it?

Well of course we are going to kill it.

For such a large operation you think this Irenicus guy could have brought on better help.

Yeah. Stronger security would be much better right now.

OK here is the exit. Let's all play it cool when we get top side.

That was cool! I want to be able to do that!

I have many underestimated abilities you bastard!

He did that to me once. I know that stings.

Looks like the law just got here. Maybe we should move out.

No, lets watch this idiot get arrested.

We're involved. We need to go now.

OK this guy seems a little beyond the scope of the law. Which way do we run?

Hmm. We need to find that mage.

Why is that?

He knows things. Information that may be able to unlock my power.

OK then. What is our plan to find him?

First thing we need to do is find a place to get a drink. I'm thirsty.

Good plan. Great plan even.

Next - We find a place to drink.

MicoSelva · Oct 31, 2010

Paco delivers :thumbsup:

Moar!

Silverstar · Oct 31, 2010

Great start! Love the dialogue as always!

Hmm, why don't you use 3d mode, it looks better with fog of war, and translucent spell effects, ambient lightning and such. Heh, noticed you have IWD casting graphics, they are spiffy!

Insane Psychic · Oct 31, 2010

Yay! Paco returns to fuck around in BG2! Love it!

Goddammit. For some reason I was thinking you couldn't use 3d acceleration with the widescreen mod. I know I read that somewhere when installing some mod. Thinking back it might have been IA.

Anyway our graphics will get much better in about 5-7 updates.

GarfunkeL · Oct 31, 2010

Yay, decent return but we need the Codex-crew for this to properly start shining!

oldmanpaco · Nov 1, 2010

Chapter 22: The Streets of Athkatla I

I suppose we should get the lay of the land.

I thought we were going to get a drink.

We are. Just give me a second here.

So we are in Athkalta, the Cowled Wizards took Imoen an Irenecus, and the Shadow Thieves were involved somehow.

Brilliant detective work. Lets go find a bar.

One second. I feel like I have hit some arbitrary ability threshold.

Paco and Jaheria Level Up

We Travel to the Slums to Find a Quality Bar

Will there be drinks when we get there?

120,000 GP. Are you insane?

The price does seem a little steep.

We could live the rest of our lives in luxury with that amount of money!

I don't want to live an ordinary life - even one filled with luxury. Bigger things are in store for me. For us.

But we are talking 120,000 GP here! Where are we even going to find that kind of money?

I'm sure something will come up. The universe wants me to succeed after all.

You sure about that?

Of course. How else would you explain all the people who have died helping me while I continue to live?

Yeah, that's quite the mystery.

Meanwhile in Spell Hold

Back in the Slums

Finally a bar. Eh - now what?

We might get around to this someday. We will see.

We Enter the Copper Coronet

Going to have to do something about her soon.

She probably just misses her husband. Want me to take her in back and remind her what it means to be a woman?

Um... Maybe later.

I love messing with idiots.

See? We already have two high-paying jobs.

If you say so.

Now to get rid of some dead weight.

OK anyone here looking for glory and gold!?

Gold we need to give away.

What?

Nothing. What?

My name is marooned. I am here to travel with you.

Really. And what do you do?

I smash things into pulp.

Well you see we already have Morcar here..

The gods, they talk to me. They tell me where to go and what to smash...

The gods?

And they say I need to go with you.

Oh yeah. You're going to fit right in.

Well who am I to argue with the gods. Anyone else? Maybe someone who can find a trap?

I know my way around a trap and a sword.

I don't know. You look like you might be a stinking druid.

I'm not a druid but what's wrong with them?

What wrong with them? You mean besides their dirty clothes, unkempt appearance, that goddamn call lightning spell, and don't even get me going about the stink. You sure you're not a druid?

Nope. I fight with swords and bow and can pick a lock.

Alright. But If I catch you talking with animals you're out.

OK lets take a look around this place.

That is why I will never marry.

Yeah I'm sure that is what's holding you back.

Goddammit.

Oh too bad. Mommy said no.

Screw you orc. Alright what should we do first?

Next - We visit the Circus!

ironyuri · Nov 1, 2010

Why do you still have Jaheira? For quest purposes, I assume?

Do you need more bodies to pack into the team? :>

MicoSelva · Nov 1, 2010

Yay! I finally made it into the party, for glorious death!

I too am curious about Jaheira. Are you planning to do harpers' quest soon?

MicoSelva · Nov 1, 2010

EDIT: double post, sorry about that.

taplonaplo · Nov 1, 2010

The better question is, why only 5 peepz?

Hieromancer · Nov 1, 2010

Making up for lost time, huh? Well it's good reading, keep it up.

Though I, too, am curious about the current party configuration.

Unkillable Cat · Nov 1, 2010

I'm guessing Jaheira is still around for quest purposes and comic relief, while the 6th slot is definetely kept free for quest purposes.

MicoSelva · Nov 1, 2010

6th slot is left for Aerie, probably, since next quest is the circus.

Saark · Nov 1, 2010

Gosh I hope it ain't Aerie... She sure is annoying. Hoping for Viconia or Edwin, they're both way more useful anyway and provide more lulz aswell.

Keep the good work up Sir Paco.
