Part XX: Ghost Busters
: Looks like we could use a few more adventurers after we lost those other three to those ghost things...
: Indeed but where would we find such people?
It is a mystery
: Why look no further...
: Indeed for we are the...
: What where am I?!
: Thats not what your supposed to say
Huh what pretty colors!
: As usual he is riding the proverbial pink elephant, any way we are the ghost busters
: SO what exactly do you do?
It is a mystery!
Obviously we kill ghosts
: You kill them? Wait what
Myszowor, Strangerlove and Stoner joins the Party
: So what are your names any way?
: Mines Myszowor
: Myszssz-what? your Mys form now on, and you others
: Strangerlove the paladin here
: So your a ranger?
: But your name?
: it is a....
: Mystery
: Name what? I see see it now it is everywhere
First stop is the island of doom and gloom
: This isn't what was supposed to happen
: Pretty lights
Time to switch from Ghost busters to Yakety sax
Rest of skeletons are slain
Why don't they just lie down and die in the first place? They know we will kill them any way
: Potato
: yes
quite
I feel like there is something dangerous up there
: Most mysterious
No it is probably something bug and hairy that tries to bite your balls of
Right nothing to worry about then
: For you maybe I would like to keep mine thank you very much
I would also like to keep mine so I conjure prosperous elementals
The ghost polar bear threatens to bite their balls of, luckily since some don't have any they are immune, those who are affected on the other hand needs to grow a pair, or maybe regrow them in this case.
: Death to these foul beasts!
: I thought druid liked wildlife?
: not when they are trying to bite your balls of we don't
: Ah yes I remember that Gore fellow saying something similar
Disintegrate
Some ghost beasts die
Well that was a bit easier than last time when people ran around like headless chickens
It wonder what this is for
More mysterious items
I'm not going in there
: I ain't afraid of no ghost
One of the ghosts try to sneak around from behind
: Busted! ...well in a mysterious way of course
And thats the rest of them
: No matter where I go there are always more undead, would these fools just stop dying then there would be no more of them!
These fools can't even harm the prosperous turd elementals
Turd elementals the prime way to deal with pesky undead
Now all we have to do is hang back and wait
Simple enough
Well this certainly wasn't build by the barbarians
Well isn't that surprising, not really
Light... house, house of lights?
An small island is across the water, though obviously we can not hope to cross such a mighty straight, even with magic
Instead we go into the caves again
Various small groups of undead are quickly dispatched
There appears to be a large group of undead down south
She slimed me.... how cute!
Not every one is so positive about it
The party almost finished killing the skeletal undead start wailing at the wailing virgin
A few more undead are sighted
Turd elementals come marching in, and a wailing virgin appears out of thin air
The ghost representing popamole is killed and in doing so dies in a sudden flash of bloom
My eyes I can't see anything! ... oh it's just my helmet that got in the way
Further along we spot and even larger group of cuddly undead
A double web plus a grease spell should keep them in place
Not one but two fireballs and a wall of moonlight, still isn't enough
Stoner is hit by hopelessness
The walls conspire against me!
Why are you just standing there? Let me show you how it's done.... arrggh.... uffghg....
Mys turns into a turd elemental
and Stoner eventually loses the hopelessness effect
man I just had the worst trip ever...
A look at Mys stats while transformed, a great increase in strenght and constitution, but a major decrease in dexterity. Still has a decent armor class though, but that doesn't matter since he is immune to their attacks in any case
The Turd elementals seem to have a hard on for sweety since the for some reason keep following her around
Across the bridge there is even more
Didn't I just come off that stuff?
It is a mystery
Stoner penetrates the wailing Virgin, with his long hard erect enchanted shaft.
Enemies come in from behind
Where did those come from?!
It is a mystery
Well we dispatch them
¨Back to the other side, looks like they can handle that themselves
They sure could
Though we get some more possible surprise sexers
And two more wailing virgins show up
Oh I know how to handle these... best. trip. ever.
Though some more damage never hurts, Mordekainens force missiles is sort of like Magic missile on steroids. Well except that is pretty pathetic when it is first available but it's strenght increases dramatically with level. I believe each missile does 1d4 damage + the level of the caster as Aoe Damage, and you get an additional missile for each third level after 7. Therefor a seventh level mage would do 1-4 damage +7 splash damage while a sixteenth level mage would do 4-16 damage + 64 splash damage
More loot
All of cave is explored
We find this rather nice axe +5 with an additional effect on hit
We give the northernmost exit a try
Once one has reached this point it would seem one can return to vanilla content, though we have no intention of doing so until we have finished this.
Stoner levels up
Alright time to head back
A couple of lone pesky undead are encountered on the way back though nothing hard
back in the village
Andf the inn where we shall rest out before we heads out once more, this time to the gloom frost. I have no idea what awaits but I'm guessing stacking frost/fire resistance spells won't be a bad idea.
Thats all for today folks. Any way once I complete this IWD LP I'm considering doing a Strategy game, either a Totalwar game with some mod, or hearts of Iron III, any preferences? Any way I doubt I'll do IWD 2 as Descupado seems to be doing a fine job at that. However if he doesn't finish his then I may do that one as well if such a LP is desired.
