As some of you, that follow Stworcas LP know. i am participating there under the amazing name Monks/Monksine!.
Anyways i decided to start out my own LP once i am done with my current playtrough, which is mostly for the practice. Since i am not 100% familiar with SCSII.
The playtrough will start around 1st of september. My progression of the current playtrough is entire SoA including improved asylum and Ust'natha down.

Spoiler: Details about the playtrough (click to show/hide)

Insanity: Everything does double damage. with core rules. this means its possible to die permanently and that HP rolls are random.

Ironman: Will not reload except for bugs/crashes/completly ridiculus deaths. main char dies equals the LP is over

Mods: Certain encounters from tactics, including: red bagde, kuroishan, illyich, gnome in the docks and lich in the docks.
SCSII: Everything including the defense of Ust'natha. Improved spellhold party. and a few other mods including fixpack/tweakpack/itemupgrade, to fix bugs in the game.
For ToB, if we make it that far, we will deal with the accension mod

Movies Certain fights will be frapsed. this includes all dragon fights. Illyich. Improved spellhold, Ust'natha and more if we survive long enough!

The playtrough will feature screenshots and a story developing depended on peoples participation.
I will accept anyone interested into the group, however the group will always consist of atleast. 1 antipaladin and 1 sorcerer.
The more detailed your character is, will increase the chance he will be picked for the LP. text made in bold will be explanations of what is doing around.
text made in Cursive will be a referance to a thought made by that specifik character. normalt text indicates normal conversation.

Spoiler: background story (click to show/hide)

As most of the sagas concerning the child of bhaal Monksine tells, it is well know she grew up in Candlekeep. She was adopted by her foster father Gorion.
But this is the story of what really happened. At the age of six Monksine started to develope, she was stronger, faster and more enduring that most children twice her age, at the same time,
she also started developing a very twisted sence of humor. several years whent by, and candlekeep was plagued by a unknown person, setting up traps, stealing and destroying valuable books
in the library. It wasnt untill the age of sixteen, that Monskine, by accident, killed someone. A episode that changed her in the years to come. She became more focused, her powers started to
develope and she had a ongoing urge to kill. shortly after the 1st kill, she left candlekeep, only to raid the highroads with a group of bandits. At the age if 19 Monksine returned to candlekeep,
to learn more about the powers she was holding. This is the time time that the saga truly begun, with Saravoks murder of Gorion......

Personality: Monksine has the ability to read people exeptionally well, and get them to tell their darkest secrets. This however aint of great use to her, as she is extremly forgetfull
to anything that is not her primary focus. She is generally violent, but will only attack if its needed, if provoked or if she is in a blood rush. She is generally a mean person, but can
put up the disquise of friendship to people she deem usefull for her cause. The only exception to this is her childhood friend Imoen, who was involved in many of her early age pranks.

Prologue:

part 1: What? Where? When?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine:so atleast i found my Imoen, now its time to find a way out of here. So lets have a look around and see what type of people we got avaible






Monksine: so we found Sigrud who i asumed would be here aswell. We also found Coran who got some magical abilities and likes singing to much, Nasal who i told to become more usefull and study the art of thieving and some really strange guy named Acrowts who looks like he spent to much time near volcanoes. I guess this will have to do, atleast untill we get out of this place. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: This is getting us nowhere. Atleast we found some weapons and some armor we can bring with us.
Acrowts: About time you figured that out.
Monksine: Did you just?
Imoen: No! you can kill him after we get out of here!
Monksine: Fine.... atleast he can serve as a flaming distraction for our enemies for now.




Monksine: So we have genies here in this place. I bet more powerfull creatures are guarding this place, we should get ready.
Sigrud: "groans" we should just hack our way trough. Like in the good old days.
Nasal: We should take our time and scout the area properly.
Coran: "Starts to sing"
Monksine: For the love of god. STOP WITH THE SINGING!
Acrowts: Atleast Pinky aint waiting for the rest of you, she already brought some cannon fodder back to us.





Monksine: i think its time to set up camp these enemies are tougher than i would expect.
Imoen: Really? resting inhere? but we could be ambushed during the night.
Acrowts: Dont worry Pinky. I cant take my eyes off you anyways, you set me on FIRE!!
Monksine: im going to kill that guy sooner or later.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: Atleast the Portal worked. But for the love of Bhaal, why do i keep running into people that just wont SHUT UP?!




'
Imoen: Why did you do that?
Monksine and Acrowts: I didnt trust her.
Monksine: You do realise I am leading this group out of here right?
Acrowts: "completly silent with a very vacant look in his eyes"
Monksine: i truly wonder why i keep him alive




Monksine: "laughs" People should really make some kind of intelligence check on guards they hire.
Acrowts: That could be said for many other people aswell.
Monksine: agreed....




Monksine: so now we are back in this room. We should rest again and prepare for what lies beyond that doorway.

Illyich Tactics version, no resting Part 1
Illyich Tactics version, no resting Part 2
Party composition:
Monksine: anti-paladin
Sigrud: beserker
Acrowts: sorcerer
Coran: Blade
Nasal: wizard slayer dualclassed to thief
Imoen: Thief Dualclassed to mage

[Monks]

Part 2: The  end of the beginning!

The party moves on. The fight with Illyich and his gang made the party realise they needed to get out as soon as possible. there would be no time to sit around and lick their wounds.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: What a shame that door looked prommesing
Acrowts: Just like the last 5 doors?
Sigrud: Sounds like you have been here before Acrowts? maybe you can show us the way out.
Coran: Starts to sing a melody of sadness and betrayal.
Monksine: Fitting, but be quiet, i hear something infront of us.







Monksine: i guess i can spare a few minutes trying to find his flask. after all he is holding on to all the gear i had

5 minutes later.....

Monksine: Thats it? i did all this walking for one silly sword?
Sigrud: Its better than your current sword?
Monksine: yes.....
Sigrud: Then why do you....
Monksine: Dont start
Sigrud: But i really dont see why...
Imoen: Monksine count to five. Sigrud... RUN!!!





Sigrud: STOP STOP! PLEASE STOP! I THINK I FOUND THE WAY OUT!
Monksine: If this aint....

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 
Monksine: Hey stop! she is with me! dont touch her.
Coran: Begings a tale of sadness....
Nasal: It would seem she is already gone
Acrowts: Pinky gone! we should get pinky back!
Monksine: We will find her. Nomatter what we will find her.... you 4 with me. we need to visit the nearest tavern in search for assitance.
Nasal: Im with you!
Coran: "doesnt stop his tale."
Acrowts: "completly silent with a vacant look in his eyes"
Sigrud: Always with you.

And so ends the prologue of this LP.

[Monks]

Chapter 1:

Part 1: The gathering

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: Spread out and see if there is any people inhere we can use in our quest.
Sigrud: Most of these idiots are simple peasants and wouldt last 3 seconds outthere.
Mira: Carefull with who you call a simple peasant.

15 minutes and 5 drinks later

Monskine: To the armory. We will need to be properly equiped to find Imoen
Acrowts: "still completly silent with a very vacant look in his eyes"





Monksine: Ok look around tell me what you need of the basics. We got around 7000 gold to spend
Acrowts: I need this! its the robe of vecna!
Monksine: We cant aford it.
Acrowts: I need it!
Monksine: lets check the next store, before random deaths starts to happen.



Monksine: Wait what? i was just looking!
Acrowts: They dont allow looking in this town.
Monksine: You COULD have said that before?
Acrowts: "silent with a vacant look in his eyes for a few seconds" First time im here, really.




Monksine: Great.... now we cant walk around unnoticed. We will have to fight the guards whereever we go.
Acrowts: Guards are a great income. Lets go buy me that robe of vecna.

And so ends the extremly short chapter 1.

[Monks]

Chapter 2:


Part 1: Setting things right.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: Ok people we got a plan now, but first we should go talk to people at the goverment. I will give them a chance to play nice.
Acrowts: That wont work
Monksine: just how do you.....
Sigrud: lets just go?



Monksine: WRONG ANSWER!!!
Sigrud: May i start?
Acrowts:"casting spells"



Monksine: That should teach them not to mess with me. But we better leave the city for a while.
Sigrud: Why? i bet we could kill those guards all day long
Acrowts: There is money to be made. I need that sling of everard +5. Also we need to get me the Staff of magic. i will show you later.
Monksine: How do you?
Acrowts: "silent with a vacant look in his eyes"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: I guess 1 guard more or less wont matter to much. Especially when its a corrupt guard.
Sigrud: Is it even worth for me to lift my arms here? or will you handle it?
Monksine: give me a minute.

Doing some of the in city parts off screen for gear and experience. next few updates will be out of the city.

[UltraValican]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Can You add portraits to the game?
If not than any Orcish looking avatar in game will do.
Name: Valican
Fighter-Kensai

[Monks]

should be doable to add the potrait. do you want a pure single class kensai? also any thing you can tell me about his personality would be a great help.

[UltraValican]

You  can add any class you think will compliment a kensais abilities.
Personality: He's is a foreign knight who just graduated from the netherworld knighting school. He tries to act chivalrous around the ladies ,but he will do anything for some loot.

[Monks]

Part 2: On the wild side of life.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sigrud: What a sweet town, they are holding a event for us comming.
Monksine: ya. i always liked playing slaughter the animals.
Coran: "starts singing a song of bravery and victory.
Monksine: if that dude doesnt stop that, he will end up dead. SHUT UP. if you knew how to sing it might be ok. but your just terrible!







Monksine: And i was just starting to like this town....
Sigrud: Atleast this will be somewhat more interesting than the spiders





Monksine: Ah genies. they should have a fair ammount of magical items with them, lets go inside and check out their store
Acrowts: "starts casting spells"
Monksine: Wait! why did you do that? could you atleast wait untill we check out their store?!
Acrowts: There is nothing  interesting in the store. and we will be rewarded for this.
Monksine: How the hell does he know all these things? i need to remember to find that out at some point.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: Ok people. lets go find us some druids slaugther them, have some fun. and get payed for it!
Sigrud: This should be interesting.
Coran: "Starts a song of great courrage and victory."
Nasal: We should prepare ourselfs. these druids might be tougher than we think.
Acrowts: They wont be....





Monksine: I was truly prepared not to kill him, before that insult.
Acrowts: "silent with a vacant look in his eyes, but smile on his face"
Acrowts: You know? this dragon wherent as though as the last two?
Monksine: What?
Sigrud: What?
Nasal: What?
Acrowts: Why are you all looking at me like that?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Monksine: Ok lets make our way back to the city.
Acrowts: Weren't we suposed to kill the druids first?
Sigrud: "silently whispers to Acrowts" Dont bother. just show her the wrong way.





Monksine: TO ARMS! WE ARE ATTACKED! WE MUST DESTROY THIS DRUID CULT!
Sigrud: "silently whispers to Acrowts" I told you this would work.




Monksine: I wonder whats in this place.
Acrowts: Its not here, its not the druid stronghold. We should keep moving.
Monksine: I want to know whats inside so we are going in!
Acrowts: Why do i keep following this moron!




Monksine: Nice work burning all the trolls Acrowts.
Acrowts: Yes yes... can we get moving now? there is a house ahead with a nice lady that sells potions. We should check it out




Monksine:That blasted firelemental was right again. i need to remember to ask him how he does this.



Monksine: And so it is done. we should get back to the town for our reward.
Mira: "Walks over to the fallen druid and cuts out her heart"
Nasal: Eww! what did you do that for.
Mira: Dinner.
Monksine: Sigrud, your now in charge of making sure Mira doesnt cook for the rest of us.



Monksine: Mortals! i have freed you from the druids that have been haunting your every step!
Now i DEMAND! to be rewarded accordingly!


So around 25000 gold richer our band of villains finds some merchants to spend their hard earned money.
This is some of what they found to be worthy equipment for their quest to save Imoen.

[Burnt Pies]

Name: Chaos Pope
Class: Wild Mage

An aspiring supervillain in his spare time, the Pope joined the party because he really wasn't getting anywhere stealing lunch money from the local children. He's not the brightest, and has a habit of making silly comments and bad puns any time he feels he can get away with it. He carries a small device capable of launching Lemons for 'Emergencies'. He hopes to make enough money to buy a small island in the middle of the ocean, and construct a fiendish Volcano base. Enjoys a beer now and again.

As for portraits, a guy with long-ish blonde hair and a priest's robe would be cool.

[Monks]

will try my best to get him in, but due to popular demands on caster classes it might take a few extra updates

[Monks]

Part 3: Murder is in the air.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On the way back to the city our heroes stumble across an outlying village.


Acrowts: What are we doing here?
Monksine: No clue, i was following Nasal.
Nasal: Im sure Athkatla is close by
Random bystander 15: Yes. its around 16 hours directly to the west.
Monksine: But it only took us 12 hours to get to trademeet?
Random bystander 7: "Laughs" great sence of direction i see!
Monksine: Well lets see if there is anything decent to do here.



Monksine: Ok we got some work to do, the mage her promised us a really nice magical sword if we help him, and we got some ogres to kill.
Sigrud: bah! this is completly beneath us.
Acrowts: "vacant look in his eyes". quickly watch out to the left! hold the front line! dont let those gith surround you! quickly drink potions of magic protection while i blow them all up!
Sigrud: Again?
Monksine: Seems like it. Raises one big question though..... Why doesnt he blow up things for us?
Sigrud: He did do the trolls?
Monksine: Gith versus trolls? Id rather he blew up Gith.








A very short duration after.
Monksine: Ok that takes care off the ogre problem. Lets move out and see what else goes on in this Bhaal forsaken area.






Monksine: Ok, we found what the mage needed in that cave earlier. If i dont remember wrong. Tolgrias mentioned a rich ranger outhere.
Sigrud: Im not sure why. But i think you got some thing wrong.
Monksine: Like a god could ever be wrong....




Monksine: BAH! no riches! Atleast we should bring his body with us. Tolgrias said he would pay for that.
Sigrud: Didnt we kill him earlier?
Acrowts: indeed we did, we should still hold on to the corpse though. I know what to do with it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A few days later our group of villains find their way back to Athkatla.


Monksine: Sigrud, i promote you to pathfinder from now on. This just aint working
Sigrud: Im not sure im good..
Acrowts: I can find the way easely.
Monksine. Nonsense, im sure you will do fine Sigrud.
Acrowts: I really think it would be quicker just to let me lead.
Monksine: Now the guard treath should be lower. So lets get moving




Monksine: I guess even gods can be wrong
Acrowts: They wont stop. they never will.
Monksine: Cant we just slaughter the entire goverment?
Acrowts: Even if you could. Their numbers are endless.... They wont stop..




Monksine: THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR!!!
Sigrud: GO GET HIM!
Acrowts: What a waste of good time.
Mira: What a waste of good food.
Coran: "starts a song of victory"
Monksine: SHUT UP!



Monksine: Ok people! we got ogres to hunt when we get time!
Coran: "starts a tale of strength and battle"



Monksine: SHIT! CRAP! didnt mean it that bad.... i TOLD HIM to shut up... i REALLY TRIED not to hurt him.
Sigrud: WHY?! now we have to find someone else to replace him.
Acrowts: Wont be hard. He was almost completly useless anyways.
Mira: Thanks for dinner.



Valican: Ah my ladies... I heard your plea from the Sigil And wory not. I have decided to be of assistance to you.
Monksine: And you are?
Valican: I am Valican. A knight to the lady of Pain. My combat abilties are progressive in both magical combat and in melee
Monksine: And who says things never work themself out.... HA!
Valican: If you will have me mylady, i will swear to follow you whereever you go.
Monksine: Fall in line, we will have to go shopping though. And i know just the place
Valican and Acrowts: Shopping for me?
Monksine: you will see...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So our group of villains whent shopping, for Valican they gave him most of Corans equipment. they also bought.... before finding them back in the village of Umar Hills.




The group of adventures had earlier encountered Reijik the Hidesman, and taken the leather armor made of human flesh.


Monksine: Ok. leather armor check... Silver dragon blood... where the hell am i suposed to get that.
Acrowts: Dont worry. It will work itself out.
Monksine: I truly need to remember to ask him, how he does that. He has been right all the time for now.
Monksine: Ok. lets go to the Mayor. I did kill some ogres anyways.



Monksine: CRAP!. I will have to put more work into this at some point it seems. Sigrud get us back to Athkatla.
Acrowts: Didnt we agree i would do that?
Monksine: No No. Sigrud does it.
Sigrud: "whispers to Acrowts". Please show me the way. Im already lost 5 times

[Monks]

great news for chaos pope! valician my kensai mage. just got hit by a backstab for a permanent death (such is insanity and backstabs )

(no i never found the MI scroll )
