In Progress Let's play Knights of the Chalice 2 with Pink Eye

[Jasede]

Just use your Sirocco scroll, or Holy Word, or Greater Ice Storm, or Cone of Cold... kill the eastern goblins fast, use their room for cover while you keep the left goblins confused or energy walled.

The king has low HP so you can just nuke him from afar with damage spells.

>Kill the eastern goblins fast, use their room for cover
Oh. I didn't think about using the eastern room for cover. I mainly held my back to the wall. While spamming confusion, holy word, chaos, and pandemonium. I guess fighting two fronts was a terrible idea then, lol.

 

[Pink Eye]

This goblin encounter is breaking me. I'm going to restart with a different party combo. I'm not getting anywhere.

Use energy fields and distract the king with fields, webs, grease, summons, and anything else he likes to dispell.

 

[Pink Eye]

Alright. I guess I'll keep trying then.

 

[Pink Eye]

Speaking of which. Is barbarian with two hand great sword + rage + whirlwind, better than samurai?

I don't know but why would you use a great sword when you can use a polearm and WW twice as much monsters?

 

[Pink Eye]

Smart. I didn't think about using polearms.

 

[Pink Eye]

Oh dear. I was so close to defeating Goblin King. My samurai managed to hold on for so long.

 

[Pink Eye]

So I went ahead and restarted with a different party.
1) Monk - Human
2) Samurai - Human
3) Psionicist - Elf
4) Cleric - Human
5) Wizard - Elf
6) Barbarian - Human

Everyone has toughness. A high CON, and improved initiative. Let's see how far this party goes. Last party had a unfun time with goblin king. But that was due to me not having a dedicated spellcaster. Turns out mage knight was not good. But it was doing okay in the early levels.

 

[Pink Eye]

Also fuck me. Monk is so gimped in this. Medium BAB is awful to play with.

 

[Noddy]

Get the belt of +bab my dude.

The goblins sell it at chapter 2, right?

 

[Noddy]

The goblins sell it at chapter 2, right?

Yeah. Seem to remember it being really fucking expensive. Gotta be good on a monk tho.

If you want to buy the great items , you wont have enough gold to level up, if you craft you lose xp , you cant afford that . When you create your party you dont know what kind of wepaons will drop but you select proficiency anyway . Turns out i found no reach weapons at all, weapons with elemental damage were subpar, too bad for the knight mage. best i found so far are shortsword +3 when most weapon are +1 ,no one in party use shortsword , longsword but holy ones no good elemental, flails and warhammer.

So by default its not worth getting a monk, theres no drop for him.If the summoner and necromancer class are implemented one day they wont be optimal either as permament summons cost xp.

Permanent summons take a character slot, even if they didn't cost xp, I wonder if they are worth it

Finally made it through the prologue with this party. Now the real challenge begins.

 

[Pink Eye]

BlueSalamander Is this working as intended? Or am I missing something?
Monk gets bonus AC from WIS stat. At least that's how it works in Pathfinder. If it's different here, let me know. Because I am very rusty with this rule set. Haven't played in it for years. Anyways, So here, I equip a helmet that gives me bonus WIS. However, my AC doesn't increase.
Before:

Spoiler

After

Spoiler

No increase to AC from helmet. Again, if I am missing something, please me know. Otherwise this is irritating to say the least.

 

[Pink Eye]

There appears to be a bug here. If my barbarian attempts to jump over the blue pit. No dialogue between the goblins occurs, thus preventing me from fighting the goblins.
See:

Spoiler

Spoiler

I will try paying the bird person 500 gold to fly me across, and see if that works.

 

[Pink Eye]

Well paying the bird person did the trick.

[Pink Eye]

The party has successfully cleared out the dragon and vampire.

Looks like I've found myself in a crash loop. Attempting to climb the ladder that is in the tomb. Then finishing the fight that occurs when you send two people up the ladder. Results in crashing. So far I've gotten about 5 or 10 crashes. Will continue repeating the fight and seeing if I get lucky.

It's the same as the cultists and the pool. Start the game. AltF4. Do the fight. Then it will load. ... Sometimes. I had to try 4 times on my latest party.

And yeah, that's bullshit.

Tweed good intel
