Let's Play Icewind Dale, now Totally completed.

Three things:

1)

2. Leave and do expansion content and then finish last dungeon and boss.

Click to expand...

2) Why do you hate Paco? If you didn't hate Paco you would have stoneskin up all the time. Bastard.

3) Paco doesn't truck with no dirty stinking druids no mater how much they suck up to him. Just saying.

If he hated Paco he would have given the stoneskin spell to Maka.

Don't care about the order. Burial Isle you should be fun the first time around.

I actually posted Laurentius as a placement for Aghar, should he ever kick the bucket. It's kinda weird to see them both in the party - wasn't my intention to hijack the LP.

Bitch is crazy and one shots makabreska

Paco, this is no time for petty hostilities. We need cooperation, for there are greater enemies to be fought.

And business is good

And those fire giants are p. cool. Quite possibly one of the hardest fights in IWD.

Hmm yeah so he is, Perhaps Aghar will leave for the moment and return later. This would also result in him perhaps living to face the final boss, I very much doubt any one in the current setup will survive the expansion.
I really need to make notes on which characters belongs to whom when the it isn't made clear by the name.


So far going for the expansion is in the lead, gonna wait a little longer to see if this is the way we should go. Might even have another update this evening.


Also we are out of mages.

I have one waiting in the queue.

In fact, he's before Al Gore on page 11.

Let them die. We can always conjure up more.

As for Aghar or Laurentius leaving for some time - if one of them can be replaced with some other Codexer's character, I would be all for it.
The final decision is Yours, of course.

if Makabreska dies, WHICH ISN'T GONNA HAPPEN DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR HERE



necromancer

str 8 dex 17 con 16 int 18 wis enough for a necro cha dump

Part XVIII: Take me to your leader... again
In todays update we through dialogue, dialogue and even more dialogue, also some people die.


: Well I've got enough of this place to say the least
: yes I can feel the call of some remote area
: It must be manbearpig, forward!

Back in Kuldahar






We see a nice little intro video and are teleported sort of to this new place





We explore the area
: Fear not, Al gore is to the rescue!




We continue exploring and talk to some more people




We get a new area on the map

More people with nothing of interest to say

I have cut out all the walls of text that are just fluff, really this would be several hundred images of pure text other wise

What we've seen so far, very similar to the starting village. Also it seems to be alot easier to get around here than in Kuldhar with all those bloody roots!

Well looks like we've found the girls father




: So when do we go and rescue the boy in the well?
: Didn't he make it clear the girl was lying.
: huh what, when?

We head back and talk to her about this







: Well that was interesting...
: Sure it was, any way I'm parched where is the mead? That Hjolder guy promised mead halls!
: yes a drink would be quite fine now

We check the local inn





Aghar gives his pick up skills another go.

: See you later suckers
: I can't believe I didn't come up with that idea
: Wait what?






Well lets check whats in here



A scroll, pretty interesting

Nothing much else in here.

Next we check the local temple


: Can any one identify this sling?
: Nope used my spells already
: Same here
: A sling is a peasants weapon, it is below my dignity

So we pay the priest to identify his own sling that we just stole from him.

Next stop the mayors house.
: Why hello there pretty mamma

Doesn't work this time though
: How could she resist me?
: Maybe she is into tall guys
: nonsense, I can a lot of things they can for example...
: Spare us the details

We have a little chat with the mayor guy, nothing to interesting that we didn't already know

Next we travel to the barbarian camp

: Take me to your leader!

: I can't believe that actually worked, maybe I will ask one of manbearpigs minions the same thing.
: It always works












Yeah I cut a lot of the dialogue

Next we are led out again away from their leader

: Didn't they just say that they wouldn't kill us?
: It would appear that they lied
: your powers of logical analysis truly amazes me

Great we are surrounded




Aghar is down, while our casters running around like mad

The bastards somehow even manage to interrupt stone skin for Paco which is instant, Makabreska saves him though with a quick invisibility



The fight is won, but Aghar the most senior party member fell for this victory.
: So why are we on this quest any way? I thought I would ask him but I never got the chance
: For my fame and glory you peasant!
: To slay manbearpig obviously
: yeah....

Makabreska levels up


Level six spells, awesome.

Back in the village
: Would not any one here stand up to fight the horrors of manbearpig?
: WHATMAN BEAR PIG IS HERE? AHHHHH! PANIC!
: Nono, but we are looking for the beast
: WHAT WERE?!
: Nono it's not here is what he is saying
: AHH IT'S HERE I HAVE OT GET AWAY FROM HERE!

Chai joins the party

We talk to the mayor guy again, apparently guy again apparently they sent an assassin to attempt to kill that Wylfdane/Jerod guy which is why they were so hostile

Garf levels up



: You there! Peasant you will take us to the burial island at once.

We land on the island
: Looks quite bleak, I wonder if that shaman is still alive
: SHAMAN?! WHAT WERE?!!
: he is probably not here
: Oh alright then

A couple of undead, two of them shouldn't be too much trouble

and probably aren't , but more of them come from everywhere

And they are extremly intent on killing our mages, yakety sax ensures as every single definsive spell that is attempted to cast is interrupted

Laurentius and maka manges to get in a stoneskin spell each though finally

You can't see it here, but he cause of death of the shaman was disintegration cast by Lord Paco
: Die foul undead!
: I think you might have actually unundeaded it
: Iturned it into a pile of dust, dead as a rock in my book, why can't you serfs see what?

Yeah spell disruption

Lots and lots of running around

and more


Finally the last ones are killed
: On the account on "killing" undead I think perhaps we should call it "destroying" so we don't have to bother with how many times it has ben unundeadened
: Sounds like a good idea

Hah a lone skeleton

Makabreska attempts powerwords silence on the shaman but before she can even begin the spell., confusion

Wonderful
; Swords are good for me, they have much iron!
: No not in that way

paco is down

: I draw the line here, don't walk through it or else... or else there will be trouble ok?
: Woah what is that sharp thing? it is probably good for me!

They don't seem to bothered, though the wall does some decent damage to them
Also they get Makabreska who is like Paco disabled by the confusion

They almost got chai, though Laurentius manages to cast Shield of Lathander on her in the last moment making here immune to damage
: AHHHH WHAT ARE THESE GREEN THINGS AROUND ME?!

The fight is won, but not with out loses on our side.

If we have learned anything from this it is always scout ahead when exploring unknown hostile territory, even when not in a dungeon.

Back in the inn for some meatshields reinforcements

and the new gal's name is Nekrobreska

You unbelievable son of a bitch.

Where’s Mah Stoneskin!

Stone-Cenobyte reporting for duty

Same stats, same class, same pic (but give the ingame avatar a stonelike colour and give him maximum constitution for extreme larping)

As of writing this the only character left in the reserves is Nekrobreska, I'm afraid if we don't get more reserves I will have to put this LP on hold.

Edit: Seems Cenobyte posted before me, so we have currently two characters in the reserve both mages, you know what to do!

Makabreska the Cursed


raised from the dead, thrice cursed
thief dualclassed into warrior
standard warrior stats

I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE


also, you're getting through the meatshields quite nicely

Filthy Hippy

Elf ranjer

typical ranger stats and stuffies.

Gotta love blind lps, BTW

If a lot of characters dying quickly is incline, then be prepared for more incline than you can handle. I'd say it's about as bloody Garfunkels Terror from the deep LP, well almost.

Name: Stoner
Gnome Fighter/Illusionist MC (pick a pic you like)
Chaotic Neutral

High INT/DEX/CON and STR depending on how much you want to min max. Specialize on bows.

Also, chai seems to have flat 18 STR. As a single class fighter she should have 18/xx STR.

I see that 'there's two of my chars' problem has solved itself.

Farewell, Aghar, we shall remember thee
At least, I will.

Here's a replacement for Laurentius, should he meet some unfortunate fate:

Mico Selva
half-elf
Fighter/Thief
True Neutral
bows & two-handed swords (other proficiencies as You see fit)

STR: 18/something
DEX: 18
CON: 18
INT/WIS: divide rest of available points evenly here
CHA: as low as possible

Part XIX: Demonic Fashion Outlet

. Alright we need some new recruits
: RECRUITS?! AHH WHERE`?
: They're not dangerous, well at least they shouldn't be for us at least
: I have heard you stalk the great beast manbearpig
: Yes that is correct, we shall slay the foul beast!
: Very well I shall join you, but for reasons of my own, very... secretive reasons.
: Alright whos next? Come one come all, step right.
: How about a thief, I could use some adventure.
: What just a thief? We could use something more.
: She's in and thats final

Sweety joins the party, yeah didn't have the correct avatar

Ad-din the most mysterious and secretive mage joins the party

Back to the Island again

: How about you get your sweet little ass out there and scout ahead?
: What It looks completely deserted, what of danger could be here?
: it doesn't hurt to be cautious okay
: What ever I'm going

A cave entrance

Sweety finds a tower
: Ah a most mysterious tower, I wonder what mysteries are inside











We bought this ring from him

Thats a pretty good one.
: Ah a most mysterious ring
: it can hardly be called mysterious when we know what it does can it?
: It's still mysterious because I say so

Another entrance to the underworld

Sweety fins a group of undead,
: Alright folk syou know what do to to avoid what happened last time
: WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME?!
: EH.... it's a mystery
: How mysterious

We also find a polar bear
: Aww what a cute little bear

Chaotic commands, try to confuse this
: AHHHH, UNDEAD! though for some reason I'm not so afraid or confused any more...

The battle starts and the confusion spell is wasted on Chai who was immune


: This shield should be useful, don't want any one dying on us.
Hell yeah shield of lathander, I love that spell

Well thats taken care of

Let's check out the talking polar bear






: Kill the foul bear!
: I thought you druid types liked animals?
: not when they try to bite your balls of we don't

: Why am I running straight into a large bear? It is a mystery

One quadrillion wolves yay

: Nice wovles, aaarrghghg.....

: Awwww, the fuzzy little bear wants to eat me, how adorable

Yeah you see what happened.
: It is a mystery
No it isn't, every one died horribly.
: Oh right

Reload last save which is way back


Back to the island

We buy that ring again
: I have a feeling like we have done this before
: it is a mystery
: Would you stop saying that some time?
. When I shall stop is a mystery

: Right who is up for a bit of spelunking
: I can feel the presence of manbearpig nearby, he must be in this cave!
: AAHahAHHAh, MANBEARPIG WHERE?!
: Sounds like a cute little fella
: it's not it's a hideous beast it looks.. well it looks is a... a...
: a mystery?
: Yes exactly
: how do we know when we fin dit then if we don't know what it looks like?
: I will know it

Inside the cave

A single barrowwright n problem and we continue


We fight some more undead


We also find this rather nice shortsword in one of the tombs


: Woah a seal cub clubbers club, to bad I'm not skilled in the use of clubs
: but druids... animals?....
: Only when they are not trying to maul you
: ...but seal cubs? Really?
: it is a mystery

: This guy looks cute







: Ah most mysterious armor, I think some one should try it on
: AHHHH ARMOR!
: Chai, this armor will protect you against all th scary stuff
: ..really? Well... maybe it is less s-s-scary than the things it protects against.. and it looks rather classy as well


Turns out that wasn't such a good idea
: It's manbearpig!
but how do you...
: I just know, trust me

It hits rather hard, also it confuses ad-din
: Everything is so...non mysterious

Gore runs around and tries to avoid manbearpig kill him though he gets held

: See you in hell


: It is a desperate time indeed when a man needs to summon prosperous turd elementals to survive

Demon is down, though we lost two brave adventurers, and the suit of armor is gone, if one could purify it or something like that we shall never know.

Back in town for some more meatshields
: uhm. we need some people to help us smite evil and such
: Evil to be smited? Well look no further for I am the mighty paladin Magnus, and this is my loyal sidekick Scorp
: Pleasure to meet you
: So you any good at handling undead and such?
: Any good? Why good sir, we are the best.

magnus the vengeful joins the party

Scorp joins the party

Once more on the island

fact: +7 longsword is pretty damn awesome
: die foul undead creatures!
: Do they technically die?
: We've had this discussion before and came to the conclusion that it...
... is a mystery? Yes it has to be

More undead are smited

Sweety has a look around the cave



Well these are new, what are they? Do they have casting abilities? We shall see in the future but we shall approach them with caution



Well now we have seen enough to dare advance

Also looks like only a couple of them across the bridge, that would make an excellent first encounter with the creatures

We move down to kill a lone weight, though some sort of undead spirit materializes out of no where
: I will ask you nicely once spirit, begone or face our righteous wrath!

: Smite the foul shades!

Does a lot of damage quickly it does, scorp chugs a potion


: Surrender now it will be easier! For you can not harm me with this shield which is of my faith!

Ok it's hopeless I give up
Though he has the shield on so he should be fine

Hmm not a fear effect, annoying what can cure it then?
: it is a mysery
yes quite so


Shields of but so is the hopelessness so he can move back

... or not

Interestingly enough the undead can not harm the turd elementals with their bare hands.

Really I need to fins a counter for that hopelessness shit i rapes the party, note though that Pale Justice makes Magnus immune to the effect

Not easy to fight with a single active character

Only the casters left, should be easy rigth?
: Forward, vengeance for Scorp and Sweety!

Yeah....

What happens next is not a mystery
: Finally something that isn't

Alright we try again, this time with not one but two prosperous turd elementals

The first spirit is quickly slain without incident

The undead are no match for prosperous turd elementals

Thats just my luck, Ad-din gets frozen in the middle of an important spell


In retrospect I have no idea why we moved forward, since the elementals could probably handled this on their own, but I didn't notice the damage immunity till now

: Such shameful behavior will not stand, I shall go to the other side of this bridge again, good day to you

Yeah look at that ad-din takes magic damage, and the spell which he currently is surrounded by is

Yeah he is supposed to be immune to that shit, then why the hell is he taking magic damage, god damed cheating computer.



Some reptilians are conjured

: I feel like I should avenge my self for some reason!
He casts draw upon holy might gaining 3 points of strenght, dexterity and constitution, though the strenght is capped at 18/00 and he already had something like 18/99 the gain in that area is insignificant


Mean while thanks to brilliant infinity engine pathfinding Scorp manages to get stuck between a turd elemental and a hard place

Next up for destroying are those casters
: For vengeance!

Finally they are destroyed, though we lost Scorp, farewell we hardly knew ye

Next sweety scouts around

: These ghosts are kind cute, kinda

They somehow manage to see here and initiate dialogue even when stealthed





Great, hopelessness I really need to find a way to protect against that...

Magnus charges in to attack the spectral trannies, at least he is immune

A couple of turd elementals are quickly conjured

Shield of lathander on magus, that should make him immune to anything they can conjure up

Woah what was that?
: it is a ... secret
Well at least some variation

Fun fact: these evil bitches are fact not evil

The very split second before we manage to cast oitilukes sphere on the main spirit bitch she casts that death knell spell instantly killing magnus form full health
: I will be avenged!



Double magic missile

: Your not getting me with that shit!

The fuck is this with all these instant death spell, we don't even have a way to protect us form them

Well queen bitch is finally dead, rhough we lost two brave warriors in doing so.

We check the tomb and this is what we find
: So we lost three of our number and all we got was this stinking trinket?
: It would seem so, but perhaps it has some secret properties unknown to us
: would look kinda cute on me though, so it was definitely worth their lives!

We can't continue with only three party members so with out further adue we head back to the town.

I am commander Shepard and this is my favourite thread on the internet.

Vexing Thoughts sounded a lot like Cleve.

As for hopelessness: I guess you can counter it with impervious sanctity of mind, but it works only on the caster It should be possible to counter it by something called 'emotions: hope', I think, but, bad news, it's not in IWD
You might also try mind blank.

Wow, insta-death spells really screwed You there, Merk.
Don't get discouraged.

I predicted Scorp to last a while longer than half an update, TBH.

Anyway, moar!

LOL, Pathfinding killed my character


twice in one update


So much for RtwP combat
