[MicoSelva]

Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

and this:

Let me tell you, I am fucking pleased to be done with the spiders and shit.

Update #104: Dark Side of Drow, part IV - Now That's More Like It

Update #104

Words fail me.

Please make it the last of the spiders.

NO! MORE!

Hey, a level up.

Every time I click the level up button now, I expect the game to explode.

One step closer towards killing Yaga-Shura and Sendai without resting in-between.

I am assuming this way leads to the spider cave.

Yup.

Hey, you're not a spider!

And you've brought friends.

I'm gonna let y'all come to me.

That's what I call a good opening!

You guys should have brought better weapons.

And now I'm all covered in drowguts.

BUT THAT'S HOW I LIKE IT!

Seems like their military equipment budget is ridiculously high.

Yeah, this sort of thing kind of loses credibility when one soldier's gear is worth as much as a small town.

Fancy an archer duel?

Ok, you may cheat...

...It won't help you.

I wish those impressively detailed drow sprites were a little brighter, so you could actually see the details.

I've heard that goth groupies are the worst, but now I am certain.

My popularity is killing me.

Yeah, I did run that way, but this area is circular.

You should know.

Time for some epic backstabbing.

This gonna be gud.

Bullshit!

That was the most disappointing thing of the whole day.

They must be baffled that they've lost the sight of me, but too scared to report back.

I don't want to draw the attention of them all, so I'll start shooting from here.

Trying to be cool, huh?

Cool, get it?

Yes.

Not sure if I should cheer my 70-damage backstab or be annoyed that he didn't actually die. The power-up is a nice touch, though.

And that was the last one.

Time to check the interior.

This doesn't look like living quarters.

Oh-kay...

Oh shit, I was right. It's not the living quarters. It's the undeading quarters!

Undeading quarters, get it?

Yes!

Liches are so adorable in their helplessness when you move out of range before they cast time stop.

That's a lot of triggered spells, too bad they'll do jack shit.

They always try to hide from me, like I'm some level 20 noob.

Wait, what? How did that trap not set off when I've been walking up here?

Oh, fuck you!

I might as well disarm it, just to kill time. Protection from magical weapons does not last long.

That's one frustrated lich.

And we're done.

Whoa...

Okay, plot item.

This looks like crafting ingredient.

I remember Cespenar mentioning this.

Yes, it will make Carsomyr into a +6 sword.

Is +6 even possible?

It is now.

It's the lich's booze stash.

He also stashed his wife in there.

Looks like it's time for another insight into Sendai's twisted drow mind.

This whole quest has a certain B-movie quality to it.

I'm not expecting this guard captain to live very long.

Called it. Although I am curious how they figured this one out. It's not like I've talked to anyone here.

Should have invested in saving throws.

Sendai really should understand by now that her servants are not enough to stop me.

Bug guards?

Count to three with me...

Three.

Anybody home?

'I can defeat you, so you should totally go and fight someone else first.' What.

Whatever. I can kill anything, and everything.

Wrong door.

Just making sure.

Yeah, this looks like the right place.

I have suitable equipment for such an occasion.

That's quite a lot of damage you dungheaps can deal.

Taste my brown stick!

Devious.

Oh, shit.

Urk.

Well, it has been a while since we last died.

Death Count: 387

Loading.

Well, they had to drop a mountain on me to kill me. That is somewhat flattering.

Flattering, get it?

FFS, Codex.

Let me see what I can do about this problem.

-22 should do the trick.

Come to me, sweet prince...

My body is ready.

Stoneskin? Fuck.

I guess I'll have to tear through it.

That's one heavy-handed approach...

Heavy-han-

YES, I GET IT!

No time like the present to use these.

Thank hell for Blackrazor.

In before he proves immune to critical strikes.

Glad to be wrong.

56K XP is still less than I got for Bodhi, which is complete and total bullshit.

Oh, look, the other door is now open.

And there's a party going on inside.

Party, get it?

I get it... Please stop already.

And it didn't occur to you to fight alongside the elemental prince, did it?

Ooh, I am so hot right now!

AAAAAAH!

There's a 'walk into a bar' joke in here somewhere.

I seriously dislike beholders.

I remember these guys being pretty tough.

These guys I don't remember at all.

No comment.

You're pretty big on delegating, aren't you?

I prefer a more hands-on approach myself.

Well, that was underwhelming.

Although she did manage to cast that one spell.

Not the bees, etc.

I love like beholders always look incredibly bored, with some truly epic eye-rolling.

This is intense!

Ithink I'm going to lose. Unless...

Heh, heh, heh. Yeah. This.

Ooooh?

Nice!

Too bad this will turn to dust.

This room was fun. Let's check the next one.

Hey, it's the Spectator!

Also, Captain Egeissag's name backwards reads 'gas siege'. That must be some kind of in-joke.

Does Sendai really have superiors?

Not in practical terms.

How does everyone keep missing that I am travelling alone?

This should be good...

Ah, duelling with drow on an arena. Good old times.

This might be an overkill...

...And it was.

Hohoho.

Yeah, what are they thinking?

I like this guy.

You got it, have fun.

Who will she be talking to when I kill all her servants? She's already reduced to one guy, who doesn't even respond.

Let me guess, the loot will be as disappointing as my opponent.

Or not?

Cool.

I can't even reach the other ones. Stupid impenetrable railing!

Knock, knock!

Next time: In order to truly review Sendai we will need to kill her seven times.

Spoiler

That will happen this or next week, most likely.

 

[Azira]

Seven times? Will watch.

 

[Celerity]

Hulk Hogan body slam... Death.

 

[Krivol]

I just want to remind you about this competition with guessing number of huge health bottles - would be nice to do some update with this, readers are courious about that!

 

[MicoSelva]

I want it to remain a mystery until the contest is resolved (which will be before we go fight Amelissan).

 

[Baron Dupek]

STONEskin on the earth golem, get it?

A drow preistress, beholder and goatman walk into the bar...

 

[ERYFKRAD]

A drow preistress, beholder and goatman walk into the bar...

Barman says "leave your pets outside"
Drow says "they're not my pets"
"Was talking to the eyeball" says the barman.

 

[Storyfag]

The Spectator is the one thing BioWare got right in this expansion.

 

[Wayward Son]

Whew. Finally finished what you got so far in your BG1/2/ToB LP. Don't you dare quit now. Wait a second...
I'll have to wait for updates now! Fuck!

 

[MicoSelva]

Yeah, that is why I do not watch ongoing tv series.

And also because they ten to go to shit in later seasons.

Bros, let us bump this thread to the next page before Monday, mmmkay?

 

[Baron Dupek]

But of course!

 

[ERYFKRAD]

'k

 

[Baardhaas]

Bump

 

[Storyfag]

For the Bumprah!

 

[Azira]

 

[Wayward Son]

Bump, bitches!

 

[Wayward Son]

While you're waiting, read this
Oh and bump! again

 

[Wayward Son]

Next page yet?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

And here we are.

 

[MicoSelva]

Last time on Let's Insane Solo Baldur's Gate 2:

Killing hive mothers with vorpal hits. It is hard to be more D&D than this.

Update #105: Dark Side of Drow, part V - 8/10, Would Fight Again

Update #105

These things must realize by now that they are only send to stall me.

Well, that came out of nowhere.

Death Count: 388

Load.

I admit, that stalling tactic is pretty good.

Finally, an opportunity to use this.

You guys can go fuck yourselves now.

Trying to eat my brain? WANT SOME FUCKING CHIANTI WITH THAT, NOODLEFACE!?

And your little dog too!

Holy shit, low level valuables.

Isn't mercury usually liquid anyway?

There should be a 'warning: do not drink' label on this.

Like anyone would be stupid enough-

Man, I remember how you could put iron poison in your quick slot in BG1, drink it, and die. Good times. Games just do not do this kind of shit any more...

Wait, you were saying?

Forget it.

I have walked through many doors in my life that one of them should have transported me to Sigil. Statistically speaking.

Keep an eye out for something like this:

I want to see a portal looking like this in Tides of Numenera, inXile. Do not disappoint me.

Lol, nope, immune here.

Hey, one of them is the main mind flayer servant guy. Too bad all of them look the same to me.

In before racist Codex.

Oh, this was the one.

I guess I'm done here.

Hard to feel threatened when you don't even notice killing the area boss.

So, let's clean up.

And level up.

Finally, we are getting that second point in halberds. If this happens again, we'll be bumping up longswords.

We might need a few of those soon.

This is new. Right? Is this new?

...Possibly?

Well, it... had a lot of HP. Relatively.

That was a nice warm-up. Time to move to the main event.

Well... Yaga-Shura never got artwork like this.

Good.

I was afraid you'd say something like this...

By the way, I would totally ally myself with you, just for the hot drow sex lulz. But I literally did not get an opportunity for that.

Cutscene power to the max!

That's scarily colorful.

Her guard captain's equipment is still on the ground, after she killed him. Makes sense that nobody wanted to get near and risk bringing a crazy woman's wrath upon themselves.

Aaaaand she's gone. Except she isn't?

So, my best guess is she cloned herself and I will need to kill her multiple times.

Yes, there are six fake-Sendai statues, but only one will be active at a time. When you kill the last one, real Sendai should appear.

Gotcha.

Ok, that's one.

Ooh, next-boss-stage minions!

I like the 'too late' explosion of scripted magic effects.

Well, it actually took longer to kill them than her. Slightly.

Hi, number two. Meet your doom.

That means me. I am your doom. Just in case it wasn't clear.

We do want to dispel that fire shield. Save your HP for later.

Fine, fine.

Nah-ah. No casting, you naughty girl.

So, that's two.

This version doesn't look like a mage. Going by stereotypical clothes, I'm going to guess a rogue.

Yup, she certainly isn't a mage.

These goons, which I had no opportunity to kill yet, do not help.

Whew, that was close.

Oh, shit.

If Sendai's regular soldiers are level 20+, how does she not rule the world yet?

Good question.

Death Count: 389

Loading.

This girl is not as easy as I expected her to be.

Good thing we saved after defeating No.2. At the risk of game scripts fucking themselves up.

Ok, we've been through this.

Wait, let us play this smarter. Lure her to the back of the room, so you do not have to fight her soldiers at the same time.

Good idea.

A rogue! I fucking new it! Stereotypes never lie!

I know this is only our third date, but you should have asked what I am wearing.

Oh, fuck you!

Nothing like a vorpal hit to resolve a conflict.

I am going to take a wild guess that this incarnation is a fighter.

Yup, definitely a fighter.

Crap, I forgot I am wearing plate.

Remember kids, do not cast spells in plate armour. IT WILL NOT WORK.

Death Count: 390

Load game.

That's fine. That's fine. I would be disappointed if this was too easy.

I'll deal with those creeps first, to gather my thoughts.

Not only has he gone invisible, but he is casting sunfire at me. Fucking sunfire! It should melt all his equipment to dust!

Dispelled? Apparently not dispelled enough.

Fucking suicide bombers!

NOW you're visible.

These fuckers are really giving me significantly more trouble than they should.

One to go.

You are fucked now.

Hard.

Levelling up in the middle of a boss fight.

I bet we could rest too.

I would not rule that away, but let's not strain the engine more than we have to.

Looks like we will have enough greater whirlwinds to get through this.

Drow with katanas. Classy.

I guess this would be too much to ask.

Just to make sure this attempt does not end like the previous one.

Yeah, this is what I'm talking about! Dance for me, baby!

Gah, this is almost disappointing!

Or maybe not. Four down, by the way.

Not that improved mantle would have helped you much, but I still prefer you without it, my dear.

Heh, heh...

You can't hide from me!

Mislead is probably one of the spells, which took the biggest usability hit with translation from pen and paper to a computer game. It is still ok, but since the game log flat out says what happened, all the surprise/deception factor is gone.

Mages ended on KILL 'EM ALL.

Oh yeah, goons.

Let us not rush head-first into them, be smart about it.

'k

Now, let's rush in head-first.

Or rather blade-first.

Mwahahahahaha, slaughter!

And this version is...?

Annoying teleporting shithead, gotcha.

I guess being an archer is not optimal when you don't have a bunch of meatshields to hide behind.

Five of Sendai's incarnations have now been defeated.

And what class would you be?

Ah, an assassin. I like assasins.

Time for the real deal.

Theme music, engage:

Show me what you got, baby.

Look promising.

I haven't seen invisible stalkers around lately.

Well, shit.

Focusing on the minions might have been a mistake.

Death Count: 391

Reloading.

Man, that sucked. But I'm not even angry. Let's try again!

First, I'll kill these guys instead of ignoring them like last time.

Ah, fresh drow meat, with free delivery too!

Wait, don't go anywhere, we're not finished yet...

Now we are.

Let me decorate the place for the arrival of my bride.

Also, I should prepare myself.

At that's is my surprise party ready.

I get it. Funny.

Really?

No.

Seriously this last assassin statue is a joke.

Let us try this again:

Hello!

Looks like stalkers took the trap hit. And all my summons immediately died. Oh well.

I seriously would prefer to be alone with the madam. I'm sure you understand.

Illusion dispelled, but she's still gone.

She must have teleported, not gone invisible.

Let's kill some time before she decides to come back then.

Ah, just in time.

And here we are. Finally, alone. What do you say to that?

I would say that is a pretty straightforward answer.

This really gets my blood pumpin'!

Greater malison? What are you planning to do, my little dark flower?

I am kind of curious what this onyx rings does.

I hope you have something better than stone skin in there, honey.

If not, let's end this.

I doubt that. But on the off chance he is reborn, I'll just kill him again.

And, if I am correct, we have done this without resting after defeating Yaga-Shura. We are awesome autistic.












Next time: The Codex will face another one of his hellish trials, because we can never get enough of those...

Spoiler

It could be this week, but more likely around 11th of May.

 

[Storyfag]

Dear gods, it really WAS 7 times. Skyway 4 evah.

 

[Baron Dupek]

I know this is only our third date, but you should have asked what I am wearing.

Link is borken
Now it werk, thanks man. Now I get what he was saying.
Other than that - 7 times = instant

 

[Wayward Son]

New update!!! Yaaaaays!!!
