[Burnt Pies]

What's the difference?

Also, is there a chance of meeting Brunch's Evil Cousin, Lieutenant Elevenses?

[Stworca]

You'd have to tell me more about this evil cousin  preferably on PM. I cannot promise anything though.

The difference between Aran and Bodhi? Read my previous post. I've just now edited it to answer your question.

[Ochita]

SCRIBE THE SHIT OUT OF THAT SCROLL INTO MY SPELL BOOK.

Wild surge can cast anything from your mage list, including spells which you can't normally do...
Chaos shield me though.

[Earthquake Damage]

Slay Linvail!  For great justice!  Also, no level drain that way.

Also also, this:

SCRIBE THE SHIT OUT OF THAT SCROLL INTO MY SPELL BOOK.

Nahal's Reckless Dweomer is the greatest thing since sliced bread individually wrapped processed cheese food.

[Stworca]

The Let's Play is suspended until i figure out why is Spell Trap not working correctly (not recovering spells)  and possibly fix it.

If any of you has BG2 install on which the spell works just fine, and you're willing to aid me in this one - it will only take a few minutes. You will however need DLTCEP.

Edit : Fixed it, after almost three hours of script editing.. Let's see how it goes.

[Monks]

since my character really dislike undeads stworca made a charisma roll vs mine. he is able to get 25 (with magic and other means) vs my 13. the roll was 1D20 + charisma
1st roll stworca: 20
2nd roll Monksin: 11

total 45 stworca 24 Monksine.
guess she will live trough the undead shit

CH 2 Part 10 : Roll the dice

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

These scrolls that i've found in slaver camp are very useful, i believe that i can.. Yes.. A very handy spell. One that i'll be using very often!


Brunch : Some unwashed thugs seem to be waiting for us!
Monskine : What? We're covered in blood and heavily armed!
Well, let's do nature a favor and annihilate creatures that are too dumb to pick their battles.


Tell me, suspiciously retarded individual, why do you wish to attack a group such as ours?


3 : What was that..?
Brunch : They've died before even lifting their swords, that's what.
Monskine : So your moral code allows killing unprepared and unarmed foes?
Brunch : What? No! I..
Monskine : You were the first one to strike them, too!
Brunch : I was not!
I hate to break your spirit, but we were all standing here.. That's all your handiwork
Brunch : But you're all covered in their blood!
Monskine : Not THEIR blood, just blood!
3 : I for one am still covered in druid blood.
Monskine : Crossing the line, are we?!
Ochita : CAN I PLEASE STUDY THE TIME STOP SCROLL?
I don't mind, but only after you kill someone, you're the only green person in our group!
Ochita : TO THE TAVERN THEN!


Phew.. This place is a dump!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Why are you looking at me, human?


Make your case.


We'll get to it once we rescue Pinky, unless ofcourse we'll need more gold before heading there.
Monskine : Still willing to side with vampires?
I haven't decided yet, i want to confront Gaelan as first, but i'd prefer the undead. They're less likely to betray us.
Brunch : And more likely to eat.
No. Not in our case, as long as we- DO YOU MIND!? I'M TRYING TO TALK HERE!


That should take care of-
Ochita : WHY DID YOU PRETEND TO BE DEAF?
To not have to talk to this loud, intrusive person that lacks finesse. Speaking of which.. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT? I COULDN'T HEAR.
3 : Boss, this tavern appears to have some activities going in the back rooms! People are coming in and out.
Good eyes, and you're right. Let's investigate!
Monskine : This is not going to be easy, the owner is a cunning and suspicious ma-


Yes, hello. I want to explore the areas behind these doors.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ahh, this must be a gladiator arena.
Announcer : It most certainly is! Are you willing to make some bets?


That depends, i'm only interested in very high stakes.
Announcer : Oh, then you should come some other day, this show today is staged.
Go on..
Announcer : We have a crippled and wounded dwarf by the name of Urist, that the owner wishes to get rid of, so we have staged a fight against a troll to amuse the crowd.
I see. I'm willing to make a bet on the Dwarf.
Announcer : You.. WHAT? Ha! Follow me then! Alone, please.

Brunch : So we're just going to loose all our gold on that?!
3 : Sigh..
Sleep-O : Sleep-O say dwarf win.


Monskine : Back at last.. Are you out of your m-
Don't worry, i didn't bet any money.
Monskine : Oh. What then?
Should they win, they'll get a high class, powerful elven spellcaster as a slave, should the dwarf beat the troll.. I win this tavern.
Monskine : So you're going to spend a life as a slave?
What? I was talking about Ochita.
Sleep-O : Ha!
3 : Nice knowing you, Ochita.
Ochita : WHAT? I COU-
Shh, it starts.


Oh, he's going to give a speech! Adorable!


..and here comes the troll. Damn the beast is enormous! Did you know that the trolls regenerate?


Monskine : I...
3 : Wha...
Brunch : Oh..
Sleep-O : URIST!
I think i'll paint this place first..


Now to claim my reward..
Announcer : ..Ofcourse. Follow me to the back room..


Announcer : Just around this corner.. GUARDS! GET HIM! KILL HIM NOW!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There's more of you?! This is starting to look badly.. God damn cheating bastards!


This is what i get for trying to be nice to pe- AHH! That hur- THAT DOES IT!


You will suffer! YOU WILL ALL SUFFER!


Monskine : Hold on, we're comi- What happened here!?
Oh, this? Nothing, my dear. Let us get the owner of this dump, and make him pay.
Brunch : More guards by the doors! Have at them!


Split up, Sleep-O, take the stairs, Ochita.. Kill someone!


Ochita : ON MY WAY!



You did it! Here's your scroll. Now, let's get rid of these bodies, and clean this place up a bit.. I'd rather not have MY tavern look like this! I wonder what should i call this place..
Sleep-O : Box!
Catchy, but no.
3 : Anarchy!
Too daring.
Monskine : Yo average pub.
Very funny.
Brunch : Twelve o'clock
I'll take all of your suggestions and merge it into one.. Yes, it's brilliant!
Monskine : What? What are you going to call it?
Why are you adressing me, while there are still dead bodies in my tavern?!

What could the tavern name be? Hmm.. A bit too obvious isn't it?
In the next update we'll decide whether we side with Bodhi or Aran.

[Ochita]

Can my character stop being deaf after he casts timestop once?

[Stworca]

I fail to see the connection
But he can stop being deaf after casting limited wish or wish once.

Also : Why? Giving Ochita a personality will disturb the delicate balance!
Any ideas for him? Can't i still lose him in a bet somewhere?

Edit : Just tried Ust'Natha with Fraps. Choppy as DF with a thousand cats. This is the worst possible news, as improved Ust'Natha is the jewel of this LP.

[Ochita]

He will use timestop to mess you up.
Believe me.

He will.

Someone who is always astounded by talking, very small voice, and stuff.

[Stworca]

I've ran five Ust'Natha simulations today, and not once did "Chaos shield and the world is awesome" turn out to be true. Out of eleven dweomer attempts (with improved shield each) not one spell worked. Multiple chaos shields in sequencers don't work, so no cheesing your way out 'ere.

Now, dweomers are awesome for much later levels, or for boring encounters.
Not here :

I'll update later today or tomorrow after work, for now, all you hungry fight fans enjoy a short promo of a fight that is to come! It's fast paced, so don't try to read the combat log, just enjoy the fireworks!

Insanity meets Improved Ust Natha

Getting this damn fight to work smoothly while recording is my top priority for the LP.

CH2 Part 11 : A terrible past

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Don't you just love our new tavern staff?
Monskine : *growling*
We have already covered that part, in the long run you will benefit more from it than you can imagine.
Monskine : This is not natural!
3 : It sure is hot though!


Sleep-O : Sleep-O drink now?
No, we still need to find a way to protect this place.
Ochita : HOW ABOUT MAGIC? LET ME CAST A DWEO-
No! I'm not going to wake up in the middle of the night so that you can take a wizz ever again.
Monskine : Just don't force me to summon anything else! I'll make you pay if you do
I won't. Still, you gave me an idea...


Floating swords!
Monskine : FLOATING SWORDS?!
Floating swords
3 : Floating swords?
Yes. Floating swords
Captain Brunch : Floa-
I'm going to turn you into a toad, should you finish your question.
Ochita : FLOATING SWORDS?
That's it.. Give me the scroll back!
3 : Ain't they a bit too eager to chop stuff? I mean, their judgment might be a bit off.
It might, that's why our lovely nymphs will command them.
Monskine : *grin*
3 : Oh.. I better never again speak ill of the druid..
Sleep-O : Ha!
I have complete trust in them. So far our wicked witch of the east swamps, or as i like to call her - Monskine - has proven to be quite loyal to our shared cause.

We need to move though. It's getting dark, and i don't want to miss the reunion with Bodhi. The night may end very wildly. I'm thinking leather corset, five inch heels, a whip.. Hell, she might get dressed too!
Monskine : In the quiet words of the virgin Ellesime, come again?
I'm teasing you. Relax, i'm not going to mate with a bloodsucking fiend! I am already sleeping with one!
Monskine : Sigh..
See, rogue? This gnome was trying to steal alcohol from our bar! Our swords are doing a great job!


Wait.. What is this lovely structure to the northwest?
Sleep-O : A giant, magical sphere. Although i would describe it as an ellipsoid. Judging from its size it probably contains living space en-
Alright, which one of you clowns gave him potion of genius!? Can't you see that this dwarf is stupid for a REASON? Still, we're going to investigate that thing, no matter the consequences!
What do you mean 'why'? I cannot live in the tavern, now can i!? Not with all those deadly, berserking swords, and nymphs willing to dominate all living creatures!
3 : But you've just..
Only when spoken to, 3!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hmm, this part over here seems to be doors. I see no locks however, and trying to break through would fail, as our electrified friend, dwarf, has shown us. Oh, i see! The doors open when you speak a password out loud!
Everyone! Try using some difficult words, not used on a day to day basis.
3 : Hackneyed
Brunch : Sequester
Monskine : Sanctimonious
Ochita : XANTHOUS
No.. It has to be something more difficult. Like "excuse me, please".
*KHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
Now that was unexpected..


Hmm, so many doorways. Let's see!
The ones to the left appear to be closed, and the ones to the right lead to a small room. We'll visit it later.


Hmm, the front doors lead to somewhere..! Hey! Who are you! This is MY sphere!


Over my dead carcass! Peons! ATTACK! What is this!? Confusion! Kill him quickly, before he turns all of us into drooling morons!


The mage is dead, but the spell still works! Dispel it, otherwise we might lose Monskine or 3!
Brunch : Or Ochita
What? Oh, yes.


Brunch : Not working!
What?!


Sleep-O! Use yours! We're losing the unwashed, deaf mage!
Sleep-O : Uh.. Oh..


This is not going to end we- oh shit.


Monskine : F-.. f.. FOUL SORCERY BEGONE!
If only you could snap out of it a tiny bit sooner.. Take his book and robes, leave the body for now. We'll deal with it once we find a priest.

The following spoiler may be quite confusing. It's a modified plot one. It will eventually answer all questions regarding Stworca's low intelligence as well as his past.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One room to go. This sphere sure has many collapsed and sealed sectors. I'm quite disappointed, but it's a worthy place nonetheless. If only i could haul a king sized bed to the round room, where Ochita died. Wait, what am i saying!? That's so wrong!
I don't have to haul anything! Brunch, Sleep-O i might have a very important task for yo- sweet merciful Pelor, what is this place!?


A giant, magical map of the area! I can even see people on it, and.. my swords guarding the entrance to the tavern! JACKPOT! Hey! Monskine! Come here, you unwashed barbarian! Touch the map. TOUCH IT! Yes, as i expected! It shows the druid grove now! Hmm, many animals.. i wonder where they're.. It changed! It changed to Trademeet! I can change it at will by thinking about a place! What about people..? Show me.. Vinith! Vinith, the priestess of helm that aided me during escape!
Oh my..
Monskine : I'm going to slowly back off, and leave, trying to wipe this image out of my mind.


It's..! How can she..
Vinith : What?! Who's in here?
You can hear me!? Outstanding!
Vinith : Ah, it's you. I was planning to find you after i'm done, but you've just helped me track you down.
I have an offer to make you, Vinith, i'm in the..
Vinith : I know where you are. I'm coming.
This i can see, but how can yo-


Vinith : You will speak when spoken to.
What? How did you.. Why are the doors closed!?
Vinith : Oh, i will answer all your questions in just a moment, pest. Let me just change my outfit.
Pest? Who do you think you are, worthl- oh my..


No! Anyone but you! No! NO! I'm not going back!


Vinith??? : I hate to break it down for you, but you're wasting your time. Haven't you learned by now, that it's futile to fight me?
I will die trying!
Vinith??? : Will you now? I will play along. Run, little sorcerer, these blades are sharp


I.. yield.. Alyala.
Alyala : It's mistress Alyala jss'Etheidil to you, little sorcerer...
Where is Vinith?
Alyala : In a place You'll soon visit, should you interrupt me one more time.
Spare me the formalities. Do what you must.
Alyala : But i've enjoyed our little chase! Didn't you? So many years..
I.. don't remember the details.
Alyala : I know you don't. But your memory loss is of no concern to me. You should not have messed with magic in the first place. This i could forgive, but denying me what I have claimed? Grave mistake.
I am known to be.. merciful.. so you will not die just yet. Instead, i'll express my feelings towards you. Should i forget myself and enjoy it too much, i can always bring you back from the dead.
..i hate you so much.
Alyala : Only when spoken to, my dear. Now try not to faint too quickly.

Monskine : Finally! We've been waiting here for HOURS!
Have you now? Bah, impatient little mongrel! I'm here now, so worry no more.

Haven't you heard the screaming..?
Brunch : No? Who was screaming?
No matter.. Let us continue with our current quest. Bod-

Alyala : You will first talk with Gaelan. Deal with him, pet, or your back will be too exposed.

Let's straighten things out with Gaelan first. After we meet with the undead, let's find a priest to resurrect Ochita. I see you've recovered his body. Good!


Oi, Gaelan! I've things i wish to discuss with you.


Let's discuss business!

Yes, about that. I'm having some difficulties with your offer.
Gaelan : Such as?
Well, my Shadow Thieves contact person will be found dead in a few hours
Gaelan : GAH!
...
3 : A very nicely sliced throat, boss.
Thank you.
Now to the graveyard...

There you are!

Alyala : You will never again think of this creature that way. Meet me in the planar sphere within one hour, my hand is itching for some more punishment.

My life just got a lot more complicated..
Monskine : What are you saying?
Oh? Nothing.. Nothing.. Let me just pack something from the sphere.. Meet you in the temple district.

Introduction

Alyala : I will be watching you, and should you make a step too close to Bodhi's bedroom, your inability to please women will be the least of your problems.
Anything else? I would like to limit the time i have to spend looking at you.
Alyala : I have something to show you. Watch closely.
What am i looking at?
Video intro for Chapter 3
Alyala : You should know this place pretty well. Your sanity and memory were much worse once, and here is where..
Asylum.
Alyala : Give me your hand. For now i'll only break a finger, but if you interrupt me again..
I'm not giving you my hand, thank you very much. Your hands are cold.
Alyala : That's two, and you have no choice in this matter. Remember the lovely Geas?
God.. damn.. geas.. ARGH!
Alyala : Don't get soft on me.
Everything gets soft when near you.
Alyala : Why do you hate your fingers so much?
AHhhhh! Because they have touched your hideous body..
Alyala : Silly sorcerer. Come then, the night is still young.

Captain Brunch : The local guards accept slavery, and even aid them in time of need. So does the council. Thieves murder people on the streets. A guild war rages in each part of the city.

Why have you shown me all this?
Alyala : Why do you question my good will?
Why are you still keeping me alive?
Alyala : Why, do you want to die?
Why do you still keep inviting me to the bedrooms?
Alyala : Why are you so bad in it?
Why did you gain weight?
Alyala : Did i now? I will have to work out then. Stay here, while i get my whip.
I can barely walk as it is! Throwing torture in would incapacitate me!
Alyala : I will take it as a compliment..
What? No! You thousand years old..
Alyala : Oh, stop it. You know i'm older.
I give up.
Alyala : I have found this in the collapsed areas of the tower, you may have it for now.
Where's the catch?
Alyala : Do i need a catch? I own you already, i cannot have anything more. For now.
I see..


Alyala : Now for the second gift i have for you.
Did i accidentally kill someone you hate? I swear that if i knew i would conspire with them till the day you die.
Alyala : *casts a spell*


I... remembered something...
Alyala : A tiny bit of memory, should remind you how dangerous it is to cross the line.
Balors have a fiery aura, that damages everyone around them, and upon death..
Alyala : Yes. We're having some progress. Now did you want to tell me something? Like a good boy should?
Tha-...

Thankfully the lights were off during our intercourse, otherwise i would suffer from nausea.

An ambush! Foul thieves tried to kill me, i barely got out of there alive!
Monskine : I see you're limping. Let me cast a healing spell.
I'm.. fine.. let's keep moving. We have to resurrect Ochita, and get out of Athkatla as soon as possible.
Monskine : ..if you say so.
3 : Uh, oh.. I see trouble ahead.
Why? What happened? It's the city watch.
3 : Yes. They're coming our way..
Brunch : Allies of the slaver scum no doubt, draw your swords!
Sleep-O : YE!
Not all guards are..


Alright, ALL guards are corrupted. Let's hope they will give up chasing us, when we kill enough of them on the streets. It sure stopped the religious preachers knocking on my doors every day. A handful of violance makes the medicine go down!
This does not look good. There are plenty of them! UNLEASH HELL!


More mages incoming!


North again!


Oh man, another wave?!
Sleep-O : SLEEP-O CRUSH!


We'll need a summon or two!
Monskine : On it!
3 : Ahh!
Relax! It's OUR lightning! YEAH!


Don't kill the mage! I wish to question him!
Sleep-O : Uh.. opps.


How will we figure out why are those idiots attacking us, if you turn them into bloo..
Brunch : We do not need to know why. They're aiding great evil, and killing them is the righteous thing to do.
Sleep-O : AND FUN!
Perhaps, but you also classify eating rocks as fun.
Monskine : What got into you, sweetie?
Say what?
Monskine : Whatever it takes to make you stop ranting.
I see. At least i'm not the one sleeping with her own sister!

Alyala : Haha! Priceless!..

What? Why are you laughing, old hag?

I'm running low on spells, we have been fighting for hours now, and we ain't closer to stopping it.
Brunch : Justice must be served!
I assume you're planning to wipe out every single guard in this town then?
Brunch : Not only guards are corrupted.

Alyala : You've done a great thing with this man.

Thank you.
Brunch : For what, my friend?
For seeing the truth.
Brunch : I still hope for some to be pure, With Helm's help, i shall rescue them from the darkness.
Helm must be listening to you. Look over there! A bunch of heathens are willing to burn this woman alive.


Brunch : She's a drow.. They're evil to the core.
Just like city watch is good, and council uncorruptable? At least let's listen to what are her charges.
3 : He's right you know.
Brunch : Very well. I will listen, this once.


They wish to burn her, for entering the city.
Brunch : It is..
Your god would want you to intervene.


Brunch : ..Die. Die all of you, unjust ones!




What do you people think..?
Monskine : Hmm? Whatever.
3 : I trust your judgement, boss.
Sleep-O : Sleep-O.
Monskine : Very smart of you..

Go to planar sphere, Viconia. I shall meet you there.
Viconia : Vel'bol ph' dosst inthen?
Excuse me, i don't speak drow. I kiss that way though.

Alyala : Silly Sorcerer.

3 : We should confront the authorities about these attacks!
Monskine : It'd be foolish, they are the ones behind the attacks.
Brunch : Then we should confront them, and exact justice!
Very well. But you must know that i have a few horse speed tickets that i haven't paid in time. First let's resurrect Ochita though!

Welcome back! Here, we have scavenged these scrolls for you. Have fun scribing them into your book!

Think nothing of it.

Ha!
3 : Haha!
Monskine : HAHAHA!
Ochita : What? It didn't work?
3 : No, sunshine, but think nothing of it. Join me in my bed, and all your problems will go away.
Ochita : Are you mad?! Wha.. Oh no.. NOT THIS AGAIN!


Ochita : Shut up, all of you! This is no- WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED HERE!?
Brunch : Justice has been served today.
Yes. Helm is pleased.
