More Balders Gate 3. So far things are going significantly better than last time, we managed to save the kid surrounded by Harpy’s. Unlike our last honor mode, where he died on the first turn, and everyone kept getting stunned by the singing, and for some reason someone from the grove, who is not supposed to be in that area, got into the fight, wild shaped into a badger, and got stuck on a tree.

We got some extra time to play this week, due to a snow storm, so yesterday we went through all of the underdark and even “fought” Grym by hanging out on the stairs above, and throwing random garbage at him, and since he’s weak to blunt damage, and physics is a little goofy, throwing a piece of rotting cheese did 32 damage, and a heavy crossbow does 2.

After I’m done writing this, we’ll be off to the Crèche, and hopefully not dying.

What is everyone doing this week?

More Balders Gate 3.

We only played our honor mode game this week. It was going well for the most part, we started act two, and since we were over leveled, we cleared out a lot of the enemies including the three Thorm fights. Unfortunately the fight at the inn went bad, and a very important NPC got killed, so effectively every NPC died. We did manage to survive that whole ordeal, and continue for awhile longer, even clearing out moonrise. But the run came to an end, while fighting Ketheric, a combo of bad rolls, and poor choices, led to the end of a fifty hour game. Anyway we’re starting again, right after I’m done writing this.

How’s everyone else doing this week?

This week is just Balders Gate 3.

Only a bit into act three so far, I don’t think we’ve gotten into the city properly. So far we’ve fought a clown, I angered a genie and got teleported to a jungle full of dinosaurs, and helped solve a murder.

We didn’t actually get that far, because we also started an honor mode playthrough, so no loading if there’s a mess up and if the whole party dies it’s over. To make things easier we’ve kept one party member at camp to resurrect everyone if there’s a party wipeout. It does cost money to res people and it obviously has the drawback of only three characters in a fight instead of four. We’re currently in the underdark, and about to finish the first half of it. The biggest challenge so far was getting to level four. There are a lot of fights that are too dangerous to do at level three on this difficulty, but needed to be done to get that level.

What’s everyone up to this week?
