Let's Play - BGT with a Codex Crew

Chapter 33 - To Live and Die in Trademeet (Trademeet II) - Part 2

We head to a tavern to drink away the crushing disappointment that are our lives.












Well that actually cheered me up a bit.
Me too boss, me too.
Well I suppose we should get a few drinks and - well who do we have here..






Later that night











In a few seconds you will be..





The pinky! Work the pinky dammit!!



I am the Golden God!!!!

****






No problem baby.



If you want you can bite down on my belt buckle. No? OK here goes.





Morning
It's going to be a good day people!
Well of The Golden God says so then it must be.
You need to stop watching me though the keyhole Alias. Very unbecoming of a woman.
I wasn't watching you, you jack-ass. Everyone in the inn heard you last night.
Then you know why it's going to be a glorious day! Lets head out and make a deal with one of those nobles from the other day.


















I don't care what he thinks we are giving the shield to the highest bidder.
I'm thinking that if was an easy task someone would have done it already.
Easy is relative. No one is this town has our abilities.
I agree with the witch. Something seems off about this.
Listen it's a tomb in the middle of a city. What could be so bad?
There may be a skeleton warrior or two inside but that is it. Trust me.

We enter the tomb.

See. Two skeletons. Let's get them.
What's over there in the corner?
Well I guess that would be a lich. New plan people! Everyone conce-


Bloody hell Paco!! There are two of them!
We can still pull this off if they don't cast Time Stop aga-






Has the end come for Paco and friends?
Has Paco tumbled his last barmaid?
Has Morkar indiscriminately killed his last innocent on Paco's orders?
Has Marooned had his last talk with the gods?
Has Alias hurled her last insult?
Has that crazy ranger/cleric guy uttered his last bit of gibberish.
Has Abra failed to detect her last trap?

Only time will tell.

ITZ BACK!!!

Now that's more like it!

edit:
The sex mods are a little weird, to be honest.

Also: Two liches! Crazy!

Hohohoo! Glorious mayhem indeed!

MicoSelva, it's clear that the different encounters are written by different people as there is very little consistency between them.

The Romantic Encounters Mod. I used it for the lulz but it's getting old. I think most of them are done now though. And as Garfunkel said there were about 20 contributors I believe.

Also: Two liches! Crazy!

Tell me about it. This tuns out to be one of the last battles I do in BG2 before Irenicus.

Hohohoo! Glorious mayhem indeed!

We are getting to the TPK portion of the LP. Lots and lots of TPK.

BTW I have about 8000 more screens of BG2 alone. Considering I have already used more screens in BG2 then I did for the entire BG1 & TotSC this is going to take awhile.

Also unless we want four 150+ image updates on the same page a bump or two might be in order.

edit: nevermind - I was thinking there were 25 posts per page, not 15.

I just finished reading this yesterday and was a little saddened that the last update was a couple of months ago. Seeing the thread bumped this morning was a nice sight. A great piece of work, this. So... yeah, will be following.

I'll do it! I'll bump this thread into Mordor!

Bumping for goodness!

ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY BUMP INTO MORDOR!
Not with ten thousand bumps could you do this! It is folly!

Chapter 34 - Theater of Death (Sewers I/Bridge District II) Part 1

Trademeet

You know.. Lets not go into the tombs right now.
Makes sense.
The gods see wisdom in your actions.
Arrg!
Probably be filthy anyway.
But why not?

We Travel to the Promenade









I think we can do better than this.




(Img from GB because I forgot to take a screen apparently)
Now we are talking! Morkar give that bitch a blow!
AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Where are they!
Gods where did he come from?
Her? Do I kill her?!
Ahh no.
I am here to kill! It is what I exist for! Whom do I kill?
He is going to fit in great.
We are not killing anyone quite yet.. What is your name?
I am the Ventilator Of Doom!
Right. Well VoD why don't you go back to wherever you came from. Next time we blow the horn we will kill something I promise.
That is well. I have some news stories to steal and witty one-liners to write. But I will be ready when called.
OK then. Bye-bye now.

We Travel to the Temple District

Well i suppose we can go find that actor.
In the sewers really?
The gods suspect you have been in contact with.. worse things than the sewers below.
















Sounds like lots of crazy going on in that cult.
Not our problem.
Pretty sure we signed on to take care of them.
Oh. Well not our problem right at this exact moment.


















You know Paco that child looked an awful lot like you.
Almost an uncanny resemblance. And gods know you put it anywhere...
You heard the lady. She mistook me for someone else. Now get your asses into the sewer.

We Enter the Sewers



Kobolds. Big deal.


Trolls. Big deal.

















That is an impressive list.
Are we really going to collect all this for him?
Well based on past practice and my desire to not bore myself to death I'm going to say no.
But we told him we would!
Yeah.. Still going to go with 'Not a chance in hell'.









It is unfortunate that we could not take that noble knight along.
Yes what we need is another pretentious ass.
Yes unfortunate indeed.




Goblins. - Big Deal.




Common brigands. Big deal.


Goddamn that was quick.


****

Take Two


The Ventilator of Doom is here to bring your doom!!!!


A little help here!

Crazy man down!



Well this sucks.


*****

Take Three


The Ventilator of Doom is here to bring your doom!!!!




So far so good people! Hold the line!

Paco's stunned. We're boned.



*****

Take Four

There comes a moment in every person's life when he needs to do things he is not proud of.
Don't be to hard on yourself. I'm sure lots of boys need to turn to whoring to make ends meet at one time or another. Why bring it up now?
What I am talking about is cheese.
What?
Here is the plan: First we summon everything we can.
Right!
Then we buff the hell out of everyone.
Makes sense.
Then we launch every delayed blast fireball, cloud kill, death spell, and every other area effect spell down the hall over there even though we have no idea what's down there.
Lost me there Paco.
Just do what i say.


Ok are we ready?
The Ventilator of Doom is here to bring your doom!!!!
Shut up you idiot.
Alais why don't you take point on this one.
I hate you.



Everyone fall back!







Suck it down Hatchetman!




Let's regroup and let the weak willed find themselves.

Watch it you crazy bastard!

Ok one or two left. Lets go get them.



Only one more!

And some wolves apparently.
Focus!




Sweet, sweet victory. Now lets loot and desecrate their bodies.




















Well that was quite the hall.
To bad we cannot use half of it.

Next - [Insert funny line about sewers here]

'Romantic Encounters'? Really? A randomly met girl giving the protagonist a blowjob is a 'romantic enocunter' in Bioware fanboy's eyes? That explains a lot design decisions when it comes to party members in their newer games - especially that Bioware tends to hire writers that are 'flexible' and 'willing to listen to feedback', rather than good ones.

Also, that was a lot of TPKs - relatively. I don't remember the sewer combat being that hard. Maybe its dificulty was bumped up due to the mods.

I like VoD.

I wanted to have this image (if a bit larger)

as my avatar, but the Codex Avatar Gallery doesn't seem to have it.

It's not an original BG2 (nor any other IE game) image.

It's from deviantART. I don't think that would fly here. (Not that I dislike the image personally; it's rather nice.)

Yeah, thanks, I suspected as much. :/

You've never received a hummer from a woman you met 10 minutes before? You need to get out more.

Oh those guys have the shit modded out of them. It's from the Revised Battles component 'Much Improved Temple Sewers Party'. And they are much improved.

I like VoD.

Click to expand...

VoD is only the first Super Friend. There are 3-4 more coming.


BTW the details of the battles are a little bit sketchy because I'm writing this about 6 months after finishing the game. So If it looks like I don't remember what I did in a battle it's because I don't.

Chapter 34 - Theater of Death (Sewers I/Bridge District II) Part 2

In the Sewers

OK lets get moving. Lot's of sewer left to see.
Oh good. More sewer.









Here you go Alias. Something to remember our trip here by.
I'm not wearing that you fool.


Looks like our place.


Hmm. This area looks familiar.. almost as if it has been reused..
The gods feel that would be an alarming trend.
Do not worry, I'm sure it will not catch on.






Hey boss, how come all the wizards we fight can throw up all these defense in about two seconds but you can't?
I don't need no stinking defenses. Also fall back!

What's the plan?
Follow my lead.

Get him!


Hmm. I've never wanted to waste money on you people but this opens up some possibilities.












That's who we are here to save?
To bad we couldn't just bring back his head.
Well he is gone now so no use thinking about it. Let's find that gem.





What a bunch of weak willed ninies.
Indeed.





Gem recovered - time to go.

Back in the Sewers

I can't pick this lock. Probably needs a specific key.
Don't all door locks require a specific key?
Well this door requires a very specific key.
Maybe this party needs a specific thief. One who can specifically pick locks.
Whatever. If we somehow find a random key labeled 'Sewer Key' or something we will come back.

Temple District












That was cute.
If he wants her he should just take her. If he cannot then he doe not deserve her.
Ahh romance is in the air.

We Travel to the Bridge









Did you see the blood running down from her mouth?
Yep.
I do not believe that she is human..
Well lets not jump to conclusions right now. There could be a perfectly logical explanation.

In the Five Flagons


























Gods, those people just do not shut up. What are we doing?
I'm not sure.. I think I agreed to protect them as they opened up some portals. To be honest I was just trying to get them to leave.

















Wow. Sucks to be them.
That's the gods own truth.
I say we go grab a drink and toast their memory.
What!? The gods will not stand for this! We must go after them!
Arrggg!
There is that 'We' word again.
If you and crazy want to go then go.
We will!
No wait until--


Next - Paco finds out what you can get for a pack of cigs in prison. It ain't pretty.

It ain't pretty, for sure.

Chapter 34 - Theater of Death (Sewers I/Bridge District II) Part 3

In the Planer Prison
What the hell!!
The moron got us all sucked in.
The rescue of innocents from this prison is the right and noble path to take.
Just so you know - If we don't get out your going to be my prison bitch.
The, um, gods are certain we rescue the actors and find a way out.
They sure as hell better be.






































So the plan is to find the Master of Thralls, take the orb of control, free the thralls, and kill the warden.
Yes we just heard you say that.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are people not reading along.
Reading what?
My point exactly.


















Time for some better living through medication.






















OK let's send our least useful party member to destroy the orb then the rest of us can attack as soon as the thralls are free.
Who is our least useful member?
Trhggr
Trhggr
Trhggr
Trhggr
Awwwwww



Alright the thralls are attacking - lets go!






AS you can see almost everyone is stunned or confused. I don't have a screen of it (not sure why) but this attack ended in utter failure.

****

I have an idea Paco.
Listen I told you before and I am telling you again: I will not sleep with you!
What? Don't be an idiot. It's about the thralls. I say let them fight the warden while we stand back and hurl AOE spells from a safe distance.
No! We cannot let innocents die like that.
I'm going to side with the evil sorceress on this one.



That was anti-climatic.

Sorry no screens





Marooned Levels Up























What a tool.



















What do you know about the theater?
Well it has to be a lot more entertaining than the thieves guild.

Morkar Levels Up



Next - See you in June (or maybe July)!

Wow, I had completely forgotten about this. With the game already completed maybe you should cut _some_ of the LARPing and meaningless images. Cool updates but can only imagine the painful process of making them.
