C'mon Lae'zel. C'mon. We're so close. Please. For the love of god please.

Will like, formally start an actual "I have a laptop that can handle this game now" Baldur's Gate 3 liveblog on my other blog but I just want to note that we very nearly didn't make it off the nautiloid ship because Zhalk killed the mindflayer and came running straight up to me, but the Archfey Warlock's Beguiling Influence ability managed to successfully Frighten him, and I was able to run the fuck away and get the gang to the ship controls.

We went to the House of Grief and Lae'zel killed the Mother Superior in one round.

Trip Attack, regular attack, regular attack, Action Surge, regular attack, she's dead, two more regular attacks on the next nearby assholes. Queen shit.

Not even a Persuasion check to ask Orpheus to turn into a mindflayer? That’s fucking wild.

[rodimissliveblogs]

Are....are you sure there's really no other choice. Are you sure. I feel like there's a few possible steps in between there. Like, "free Orpheus and see if he'll be reasonable and if he doesn't then you eat him". Like you're not even giving him a chance here. I can be very persuasive. I'm sure he'll be fine with all this.

Hey. Hey. What the fuck. I will always have been your Balduran. Hey what the FUCK.

Karlach's also sick of my shit.

The narrative that's being created from my gameplay in the Iron Throne is gonna be juicy. I had the party split up to free the hostages - Karlach went one way, Astarion summoned some ghouls and went another, Mae went a third way, and that's the direction that Ulder Ravengard was in, so Wyll followed. Mae frees Ulder but gets caught in a net from a sahuagin. Ulder frees her from that net.

Then Mizora shows up. And summons some exploding spiders. Ulder survives the first two that go off, but he's frozen, by Mizora's orders. Mae helps him out of that. Wyll Misty Steps over to them. And Wyll has boots that allow him one casting of Dimension Door. So he grabs Ulder and teleports out of there.

Leaving Mae behind with four explosive spiders and two sahuagin.

Feels pretty unfortunate that I'm gonna have to slaughter my way through a bunch of Flaming Fist to get to Gortash, now that everyone is Instantly Hostile on our entrance to Wyrm's Rock, but... c'est la vie, we do what we must, and what we must is fucking killing Gortash

[rodimissliveblogs]

I'm doing fine, why do you ask. Just great, even.

[rodimissliveblogs]

Oh dude this is fucked.

[rodimissliveblogs]

BRO??? DO YOU MIND? YOU SEE ORPHEUS IS A MINDFLAYER HERE WITH US. LIKE. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO HELP US STILL. B R O.

[rodimissliveblogs]

Dammon did you give my owlbear steroids.

[rodimissliveblogs]

One fear.

[rodimissliveblogs]

The Emperor is so fucking sick of my shit.

[rodimissliveblogs]

....apparently warlocks don't get the dialogue options where they can convince Yurgir to kill himself.

????? rude.

--should I pay Withers 200 gold for a joke. should I pay Withers 200 gold to say that I convinced every enemy that could kill themselves, to kill themselves.
