Baldur's Gate 3 - Let's Play Part 9: Mountain Pass (Unexpected Guest)

welcome back as we now enter into episode nine my characters have just hit level five except for shadow heart in last episode we basically killed some Knolls we went to joaquin's rest which was raided by the Goblins we didn't end up saving counselor Floric but that's okay and we avoided combat with gith Yankee that were on the roads terrorizing the Flaming fist so I think this session we're actually going to head into the mountain pass this is completely new content none of this was in Early Access now the underdark was in Early Access but I'm gonna hold off on going down here for now I just came down here to try to get a little boost to level five and that I got fortunately Shadow Hearts a few experience points behind though so let me just walk up here oh crap I better be careful this thing will shoot us down whatever comes what can I kill this thing with okay so bludgeoning vulnerability even though it says resistance but he can't get up there with bludgeoning hold on let's try let's just shoot the damn thing oh no it's already shooting me oh crap there's no oh my gosh there we go acolyte shatter the Moon shadowheart is inspired oh Shadow love that because that's a temple of soluna right there and there we go now she leveled up okay great that means we don't even have to go into the underdark so let's go ahead and return to camp and get my party ready for the mountain pass and also level everybody up to level five all right and we'll start with wolf level five should be pretty simple for the Marshall classes we get one more ranger spell these are still oh we got level two spells now so I'm gonna pick up Spike growth remember I have a pretty low wisdom Spike growth will be perfect this will give my party a little bit of CC crowd control yeah I like that okay great we don't need to replace any spells we have 49 HP now this is our champion fighter and we now get extra attack beautiful and then I think I'm gonna take a Starion out of my party right now but let's level him up and Rogues are this uncanny Dodge use your lightning quick reflexes to protect yourself when an attack hits you you only take half the usual damage I do believe that that is a reaction that will have to toggle either always have it on or have it ask us or turn it off if we wanted to I think that's how it works in DND 5th edition foreign for a level five trickster cleric we have now unlocked level 3 spell slots and Destroy Undead when you successfully turn an undead creature it also takes 4 to 24 radiant damage so I haven't really been using shadowheart's Channel divinities yet too much really haven't had the need for it but we're gonna have to start making sure we use those and now we have the Stow curse curse the creature with your touch the curse either bestows disadvantage on checks and saving throws or attacks lets you deal additional damage to the Target or robs it of its actions we already know this spell though but now it will be prepared at all times then we also get fear prepared at all times these aren't channeled abilities these are just specific cleric subclass spells we get fear project an image so frightening it makes targets drop everything and become fearful that's a new spell added to our spell list we already have this one but now we don't have to prepare it and it doesn't really matter which one we choose here actually it doesn't even let you choose because we get access to all of these spells no look at these spells we're gonna get Spirit Guardians revivify remove curse animate dead let's go Beacon of Hope daylight feign death Glyph of warding really good spell and masculine word is of course very good as well okay let's get Starion out of our group where are you with Starion okay and we're gonna pick up Gail because a level five wizard is quite powerful what can I do for you oh darling I'm hurt I thought we had something special ah it's up okay where is our wizard friend a Starion is definitely open to embracing the more evil things that come our way he's not as hesitant about that so I might actually have a story and be a core member of my group when I do my live stream evil run okay yeah where the heck are you there you are I can see your wizard hat from a mile away let me click on Hilson again real fast hold on now there's still no option to have him join my party and I just have no idea is he just supposed to be a camp follower right now or to the game bug out and I'm supposed to be able to invite him to my group I was assuming that I would be able to or maybe because he really wants me to go the underdark route and I already walked into the mountain pass maybe that is preventing that I'm not sure I would have liked to have helson in my group I'm not gonna lie but it also makes it easier to if one of them I can't pick the choice paralysis kind of goes away a little bit uh Will's a badass too okay come here Gail what's on your mind join me all right great let me also do a save here hmm I'm gonna call this right after or level five right after direct me foreign Dead We of course will be taking as a necromancy wizard an hour dead is going to be more powerful than a non-necromancy wizard so we're gonna take that Target must be a medium or small corpse Fireball wouldn't be bad to have Fireball is definitely better with an evocation wizard because when you shoot it on the front lines it won't hurt your friendlies but without that special evocation feature we will be doing Friendly Fire to our Frontline damage dealers gaseous form that's a good spell vampiric touch nice necromancy spell but it also requires melee range which is going to be rare for Gale and we can of course get plenty of these spells if we just find the Scrolls unlock an object that is held shut by a mundane lock I'm tempted to take knock just so we can try it but since I can only learn two spells I feel like I have to take Fireball right now I mean how can you not take Fireball all right Fireball and animate dead it is [Music] and that's it we don't have to level up will right now until we actually take him into our party let's head off to the mountain pass it's quite exciting oh man I forgot about karlak I want her in my group too you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take lizelle and dismiss Lazelle Champion Fighters are boring and let's go ahead and you know if we find the gift Yankee crash I'll of course bring Lazelle back but for now let's take karlak into our group culpa for your thoughts and here we go we defeated the paladins hunting Carlock she joined our search for a cure for the parasite we confronted the paladins chasing carlak she's joined our search for a cure for the parasite in the current Quest that we are on find a way to moonrise Towers dream visitor told us to go to moonrise Towers we might find answers there about our parasites we learned that there are two ways to get there through the mountain pass or the underdark and I'm choosing the mountain pass as of right now [Music] the dream visitor told us that the true Soul parasite can enhance us if we absorb its potential and we're gonna have to give up on the Night song Quest at the moment because the night song Quest is related to the underdark so let's head on out I think the quickest way would probably be joaquin's rest and as a level 5 Barbarian we get extra attack and also fast movement movement speed increased by 10 feet while not worrying heavy armor I still got to keep an eye out for some good medium armor for her I think we could probably get a higher armor class and we actually definitely can because her dexterity is only 13. I guess I could check that right now we have any good medium armor nope we don't foreign all of our equipment to use and let's head on out we gotta go this way if not over then through this will be the first time ever that we are allowed to exit the map right here and I think it's going to bring us to the same area that we explored for like five minutes back in episode six did I not do a long rest I wasn't even paying attention I care maybe I got hurt I'm missing a little bit of HP here when the gods are watching me and here we go I am beyond excited right now we're gonna train a different region Venture forth yes and here we go you know I'm not entirely sure if this is act two or if it's still part of act one but either way let's check it out [Music] wow foreign makes me so happy I'm assuming that this is a temple of lafander the morning Lord the god of birth spring Dawn [Music] we're going to want to use animate dead too as soon as we possibly can because that is a spell that you use outside of combat actually shadowheart and Gale have it [Music] let's go ahead and prepare that right now and you know what I keep forgetting we can go like that with our hop bar yeah okay we're going to get rid of which bolts we'll take animate dead and of course also Fireball I only have two level three spell slots so I get one Fireball and one anime dead got sleep Thunder Wave Mage Armor Thunder Wave such a good spell if you set up for you take advantage of the game's verticality got to always have magic Missile I can't believe I keep forgetting I have you know Shield is such a good spell we just never had it in Early Access and that they're playing Early Access for like a thousand hours not being used to using it I forget that it's even there let's enable Shield [Music] and I think we can probably get rid of let's get rid of shatter and then I will take Thunder Wave in case somebody gets in our face and then sleep too sleep is a good spell beautiful okay and then for shadow heart I'm also going to take animate dead we'll get rid of Shield of Faith pick up animate dead we have two level three spell slots so let's go ahead and also take Spirit Guardians I think is what I want and we can get Shadow heart up on the front lines a little bit she also gets speak with that nice masculine word would be amazing to have but I don't have enough spell slots to have it right now let's take Spirit Guardians call forth spirits to protect you nearby enemies take 3 to 24 rating damage or necrotic damage the movement speed is halved okay so let's get rid of your wounds we got blessed for our concentration spells perfect you know what I'm actually gonna take [Music] Aid yeah okay I think that's pretty good [Music] we'll cast that and off we go to explore new territory let's be on my way when we peaked this area before I think I saw some ghouls or some Undead up here on the hill oh you know what I could have done I could have just fast traveled to this Waypoint but you know what it was it was cooler the build up walking to the mountain pass and going through that entrance was worth it yeah we have this weird creature up here he looks pretty deadly oh no careful careful guys West moonrise Towers South joaquin's rest okay joaquin's rest is that way this way is Rosie Marin monastery Norse Rosie morn Monastery West don't see me don't see me South joaquin's rest okay actually this way is moonrise towers and this way is to the monastery I think we have to check out whatever these creatures are right here I think we gotta do it Undead skeleton I wish there were some bodies so I could animate some Undead you know what I'll do bring my group over this way let's see if there's any bodies around I could actually it actually would be smarter I'll tell you what we're gonna do let's be smart about this go back to walking's rest the undead should stay with us until a long rest let's get ourselves a little army of the dead here I don't know if people get mad if we'd use animate dead but we're gonna do it anyways all right so we'll test it out with Mr gal first here we go animate dead and we can do a zombie which are your melee damage dealers or the skeletons which are arranged Undead let's do a zombie not sure how this is going to go here oh oh do not touch my Undead wow look at that AAC 22 hit points and then we have slam hit a target with your bare Fist and infect it with the crawling gnaw if the affected entity dies before the infection wears off it will temporarily rise again as a newborn zombie that's how you kind of grow a little bit of an army we can also do it with Shadow heart should I animate her friend right here no I'm not gonna do that we're going to stick to how we're RP in here and I will animate basically the the goblins and the drow not the actual flaming fist so let's go to anime dead where is it and you know what just for the sake of testing things out we'll do skeleton this time wait Target can't be reanimated okay well who can I animate around here you gotta be kidding me mate I think I might have to do flaming fist jassic over here we can get one of the guys over here oh there we go we can get a goblin [Music] here is our first skeleton an armed strike and then also ranged attack 5-19 with necrotic damage in there should have crawling on here too somewhere that you'd think okay let's head back out I think I can probably fast travel summons can't travel through waypoints okay never mind oh let's head out this way oh they're the playing sister following me run run oh no okay we're good well this is a hell of a party right here this is awesome and skeletons climb ladders we're gonna find out come on down y'all there's yes they can probably pretty good they don't let you let the skeletons travel through waypoints because then you could just fast travel to like act one if you're even allowed to act top I'm not sure if this is actually act two and just summon Undead then fast travel back I like that they make it require a little bit of effort where are my skeletons come on guys your ass over here hopefully they come with me through this Undead versus Undead look at this picture of the city it's so beautiful okay we got our skellies let's go fight some Undead but I want to fight them on grounds that I am familiar with so probably try to kite them down here we got a little bit of choke point too so interesting should I take Carlock I'm gonna put her the kite them maybe I'll this might give me a high ground too maybe I can kite them all the way up to here I want to put karlak right right here let's try this way Shadow you're gonna come up here with me with your skeleton Get You On The High Ground perfect and your skeleton hide too I love the lighting in this area Felton's can't hide okay then we'll take Mr Gale we're gonna move you over here what oh no I gotta be careful what am I walking into up here there's more blood up here okay this is I think this is where you get back to the goblin camp where I first came in to explore this area probably would be better to fight him up there but you know what okay perfect and we're gonna Scout ahead with wolf here separate my bear I don't want my bear up here [Music] we're gonna leave the bear with carlak oh this is a heck of a setup right here let's go see what we can do you know what I should do I should use blessing of the trickster really start taking advantage of the spells in this game it's an action too so Grant another creature advantage on stealth checks [Music] foreign and here we go might as well take a rotten carrot on my way oh wow we got some ghouls up here too dark vision poison resistance [Music] read this real fast even though it's bugged out poison damage is nullified okay they don't have any vulnerabilities because you would see the little red arrow wow they're resistant to like everything all physical damage acid Thunder necrotic fire lightning so not force though or radiant okay so radiant and force we want to focus on which is what we can do I have magic Missile prepared hold on are they resistant to say thunder it did okay all right all right let's go into turn based mode and you know what I'm gonna do I am going to take a shot here it would be it'd be cooler if I could oh man there's no way nope that's I'm gonna be spotted if I go up that way hold on I would love to get a slash with my sword but it's gonna be really really hard massive damage come on come on where are you going where are you going buddy okay so he goes back the other guy's gonna come up I can move so far with this character with long Strider and what else and the ring that I have on I should be able to get away from these guys so I can even try I can try something like this okay here we go I'm doing it this is this is crazy this is freaking crazy no was I in clear light I thought it was dim oh man okay we gotta get the hell out of here oh wow this is bad yeah not worried about an opportunity attack just get the hell out of there oh man things are going wrong okay let's see what happens at least we get to see how many of these things there are they're probably summoning them too I don't even think about that wow these guys are cool his own goals blocked him oh that not that guy oh man oh man good thing is they're using Dash so they don't have an action actually might work out pretty good it's keeping them all grouped up together this is so much fun fighting new enemies in this game okay oh wow what was that Shepherd reach from Beyond defile a target with merkel's decaying magic and chill them a Merkel is one of the dead three cannot regain hit points Undead okay all right so now we should be able to I don't want to go too far so let's go up here and then I can also Spike growth this area wait hold on you know what I didn't even think about it I'm a Hunter's Mark Hunter and Spike growth and Hunter's marker both concentration spells so I think Spike growth is going to have to be more situational when I really really need it I should have thought of that when I was leveling up him but that's okay it's still good to have like a backup spell for situational uses anyways I'm not sure what other spells I would have preferred and always respect too far for Hunter's Mark see if I have any bottles of Grease I have a scroll of Grease and we'll do this perfect oh Carlock failed her uh stealth check right away that's fine I like how you can get rid of the combat log but also still see it the lesson invasive one foreign we gotta hold our ground here oh these guys are lined up perfectly for exactly what I need so let's go ahead and I'm gonna Hunters mark this guy and take a shot arrange shots these guys resistant to cold damage yup cold Thunder fire of ice they'll just take a regular shutter resistant to piercing damage too okay we're just gonna take a regular shot 40 percent that's fine and I might back up just a little bit and now I think I'm gonna bring in Yale yeah beautiful beautiful beautiful and then let's get Gail's skeleton oh I guess she's in combat yep right there okay now we'll take Shadow Hearts we are in clear lighting right now let's see if I can get off a curse any good aoes here not really I'm gonna start off with guiding bolts 91 but path is interrupted looks like I'll be spotted if I do it right here possibly can't tell if I'm in the red right there let's give it a try see what happens awesome awesome awesome okay wolf I need you to hold your ground oh I didn't think they could get right up on that rock I thought they were stuck in that little crevice man we have like a gas too there's Ghouls and Ghasts definitely miasma grants the effect of any 20 temporary hit points Allied Undead a resistant to bludgeoning slashing and piercing curious what this guy's attacks are you a spirit Guardians right here in the center exactly okay beautiful beautiful nice he ran into the cloud of daggers it's time to do a little wild magic rage whoa shadowy tendrils lash around you sucking the light from all nearby creatures surrounded by tendrils of wild shadowy magic gained one D12 temporary hit points and the resistant to everything it's crazy okay so I need to get up close and personal with my hunter but I don't want to do it right now gonna keep shooting at this guy I guess could do a fire arrow and set that on fire I don't think we're gonna be able to use crawling gnaw on other Undead because they're already Undead so I don't think we can get more Undead out of this fight yeah whoa they're all just slipping on the grease I love it so much what level I didn't even look at what level they are level six okay Shadow I need to put you front line with Spirit Guardians I will but I don't think I want that just yet advantage against the effects of turn Undead so using my channel Divinity with her isn't going to help too much so a guiding bolt level one good Focus fire here but I want this one because I got high ground so we'll start chipping away at his health too and it's radiant damage so Shadow is the MVP right now trick to gain advantage on concentration saves against being Charmed you know what I didn't even think of I can stop concentrating on blessing to the trickster we can cast a blast I'll do that next turn awesome awesome awesome hey Mr gal why don't you move up let's see what you got for me now [Music] I might do another clouded daggers but on both of these guys yeah right in front of the Grease oh that's beautiful and then we'll back him up well that's not good that's not good at all he just he just picked that ghoul back up that already killed yeah that's not good okay so the Shepherds need to go down first guy's got 39 this guy's got 40. so let's focus on this guy first oh man I didn't notice that Reckless attack can't get to him are you serious okay well the good thing about them raising the debt is hopefully that costs them an action so they can't attack on that turn you guys got 12 hp there's really nothing that oh I didn't realize I have cleave I switched to the ax I hope I can't get the big guy in it so we're gonna hold off on that come on slip on the grease again all right let's go ahead and send and jump my zombie right in front of this guy my Ranger hasn't been doing much right now because I don't want to go front line yet I would come over here and help out karlak but I don't want to go on the grease with my Ranger [Music] nice still have Hunter's Mark on this guy you know what I can do we can throw didn't even think about that I have low decks but I have high strength so we might as well throw weapons and miss okay oh is that healing him when I hit him with the chronic damage no it shouldn't be I think they're just resistant to necrotic damage oh Oh no just halved okay we're good all right shadow I need another guiding bolt out of you I think what do you think about a level three guiding bolt but then again I won't be able to cast Spirit Guardian so let's do level two guiding bolts disadvantage wait how is that too dark really dark in that area there we go I just had to move up get within 40 feet because I have dark vision all right come on we need this to land I lost my High Ground bonus though you got to be kidding me right now I forgot about blast too a sacred weapon I guess I'll have you come down here gotta prevent these guys from being able to leave that cloud of daggers Mr Gale why don't you go ahead and drop me a little magic Missile action and we'll do magic Missile level one this guy only has six HP yeah okay let's watch this guy again so here it is the No Rest For The Wicked respawns the undead with 11 HP but it does cost an action so he's not able to attack okay it might be time to get up I wish I could sneak right in there I'm surprised that I can't okay let's throw another weapon I wonder if they can Rez each other that would be a problem if they can I probably should start chipping away at them like equally okay everybody's looking okay on my on my team for HP right now so that's good a lot of misses oh man carlak you okay you got some condition on her right now paralyzed affected entity can't move or take actions bonus actions or reactions attacks against the entity are always Critical Hits well that's a problem need lots of restoration for that okay I'll tell you what I'm gonna do instead of bless even though bless would be amazing we're going to start off with the spirit Guardians right here because it should actually hit all of these enemies right here the radius is quite large we got Spirit Guardians radiant or necrotic so we definitely want to do radians really not get a little bit closer oh yeah that's great I wish it was hitting that guy though I like still doing pretty good he's still raging so she's taking half damage all right Mr gal what do we got here 19 HP and then 39 so actually I think I'm going to we're going to start chipping away at this guy's HP that was like no damage oh I'm stupid they're resistant to force too you got to be kidding me I just wasted a level three spell slot [Music] now those coolers are going to keep getting resurrected but they're also right on top of the cloud of daggers and also the spirit Guardian so I might be okay all right Carlock let me get give me a little give me a little cleave action here can you do that for me foreign my hunter my Frontline two-handed welding Hunter can't really do anything at the moment right now besides just throw weapons I mean I could jump behind you know what I might do screw it you only live once right am I gonna fall on the grease right there nope I think I can make that jump let's do it when it's time to kill It's Time to Kill okay we got a 60 chance Hunter's Mark is active it dropped this guy right now huh forgot about that fire sword around Greece okay all right fair enough fair enough my friend oh awesome actually worked out pretty good with that lacerate weapon skill athlete medium armor that's going to be really good I think for Carlock okay we just got a few left now see if this guy ends up rezzing his friends all right Mr zombie come on up here oh I couldn't see that opportunity attack beautiful stuff gonna try to prevent this guy from healing right now hold on let's see turn on Dead's not gonna work right now well actually no it can't while the affected entity has temporary hit points it's resistant to all damage except radiant and cannot be turned but the temporary hit points are now gone so let's go ahead and use turn Undead effect eventually must move away from the creature that turned it it can't take actions bonus actions or reactions other than Dash that's actually really good because you won't be able to resurrect his buddies here so let's see if we can get this to work 30 chance [Music] wait he does he still have temporary hit points it's an immune to turn Undead where do I see that he has temporary hit points active oh I guess okay okay so it's saying necrotic Val here um is it represented somewhere though I thought like I thought because I already took HP away from him that I got rid of the temporary hit points but I guess it does say necrotic Veil on him but it is what it is okay you live and you learn right I don't think I can do anything I can't see the undead in here oh he's on is he on the ground guys gotta get that guy to move a little bit anyways my zombie died okay carlak's turn oh we could end this right now eight damage is it worth it nope we'll take we'll finish him off with wolf here we go only need four damage they don't even need Hunter's Mark of course I missed unbelievable I'm level five now I keep forgetting that I have extra attack gonna take me a little bit to get into the habit of that [Music] oh and we did it [Music] wow that was crazy that was quite fun we call this after fight first Mountain Pass rules let's see how much we got XP get out of the gas I think I just can't see right now my eyes aren't working I can't find it either way let's go ahead and see if we can upgrade carlak's armor let's see right now she has 11 AC [Music] pretty bad [Music] I shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times get everybody down here okay her AC should not be 11. I just noticed that on Armored defense your body is as resilient as any armor while not wearing armor hold on wow it's a good thing I noticed that it's a good thing I looked into that right now so just putting on the leather helmet dropped my AC down to 11. that is huge that is horrible I didn't even think about that one putting on a Helm with a barbarian I was just thinking of like the regular armor now with that said when I put on medium armor we don't need the Constitution boost anymore so watch this so we have 14 AC right now around half plate medium armor now we have 16 AC and I can put the helm back on too and still get the dexterity without it affecting me so that's our new car lock right now we just went from 11 AC to 16 AC oh man okay let's do some looting love the music we'll just check up here again real fast this is where we first came in back in episode six oops I didn't mean to pick that up foreign that brings us to the goblin Camp so let's go ahead and press on and let's see the area that they were guarding and what's up there I really should rest again prayer feelings a level two spell slot this would be unfortunate if we got into another combat encounter the amount of spell slots so basically everybody but my main character for the most part nice on my feet look at all these dead cool bodies North Rosie mon Monastery West moonrise Towers South joaquin's rest this is where they were guarding look I hear more ghouls right now Scroll of confusion you funnel a group of creatures causing them to attack at random wander around aimlessly and occasionally skip turns in the stupor okay can I learn that with Yale it's my question wizard level too low what level spell is confusion can't wait to try that out that's awesome that's amazing wow just found plate armor 18 Armor class Duke ravenguard is to be delivered unharmed or mostly so immediately moonrise Towers cannot fulfill its Destiny until the Duke has been delivered those who succeed will be rewarded those who fail will face first by wrath Ben gortash's then mine again General catheric Thorne seems moonrise Towers has acquired a high value Asset wow okay let's put this plate armor on 19 Armor class pretty cool I think I'm gonna have to dye it at some point though are you kidding me it are you serious the armor is on my wolf no way also my animals got an HP increase I'm not sure if that came at level five or what but the wolf has 31 HP now that is so sick foreign armor this is okay well if you're playing a character that uses heavy armor if you can come here and kill these level six ghouls at the start of the game you're gonna reckon the act one area looking ahead oh you know what that sound is it's my skeleton this is this is unbelievable this is so beautiful I can't even explain to you guys with words right now how exciting how freaking excited I am right now but act one was a great time I enjoyed playing it but I've been playing act one for three years I still don't know if this is act two or not yeah this could still be act one but at least that part of act one I've been playing for three years this is completely new and it's absolutely gorgeous okay let's see what the camp looks like here maybe we'll go back to the river Camp I'm not entirely sure I'm at a loss for words right now foreign never seen this Camp before that's for sure can't believe I'm actually venturing into a gift stronghold again voluntarily better pay off I'll admit it this could be a terrible idea but we don't have much choice let's just be careful any potential cure is useless if our heads are parted from our shoulders beforehand us want that artifact back badly if they're dispatching Red Dragons in pursuit of it but we cannot afford to lose it I wish I'd never been sent on this mission I'm curious about that myself reading ourselves of these tadpoles all will be revealed in due time I hope you seemed intrigued when helson mentioned dark Justice years before wouldn't you be we should try and find them even if they're all long gone and that seems quite likely from what we know who knows what they may have left behind for us to use my people are nothing if not resourceful as long as I prayed to Lady Shah I wish to serve her as a dark Justice here there is scarcely a greater way to fully dedicate yourself to Lady Shah save perhaps if you become the head of her church to become a duck just this year is to become the night singer's Sword Art her Implement with which she will cast down the unbelievers and win the final battle to restore her perfect endless Darkness it's all I ever wanted I prayed it was my calling but mother forbid me from seeking to prove myself worthy of the sometimes I wonder if she would ever deem me ready we've already had that dialogue so no something going through it again interesting though look at this Camp though this is this is crazy I wish I was live streaming this right now for the first time that we could all experience it together in a live setting but this is this is something else I'm gonna talk to all the companions how can I help I was wondering about that Mighty Lord you told me about in your story yes Casas casus was perhaps the most powerful wizard that ever lived child who would be a God the elves called him and he tried with a spell of his own devising he endeavored to usurp in one Fell Swoop the power of the goddess of magic Mistral she was called then imagine what it must have felt like to be a god to know yourself to be untouchable to be mistaken as karsus aimed his spell at her she begun to unravel and with her the entire weave too late did he realize what he had Unleashed it would have been the end of everything had not Mistral sacrificed herself the goddess of magic is all magic by dying the entire weave was lost and the spell that challenged of God failed it was the end of Mistral the end of karsus and the end of an entire civilization as the child who would be a God was turned to stone his Empire Came Crashing Down around him the floating cities of netheril were no more an event that came to be known as karsus's folly but I did an entire lore video on the netherise Empire and also included karcissus Valley in it so if you guys search wolf art FPS nether Reese should pop right up for you it's on my lore playlist so at that moment in time all magic was gone first spell Mistral was reborn as mistra upon her return the weave returned with her now so many centuries later I tried to follow in the footsteps of karsus not to destroy mistra prove my love for her and try to control only a fraction of the magic that was Unleashed that fateful day I merely sought to return one tiny diamond to an imperfect Crown Gail's Folly one might call it Street repetition it's the way things go if you ever feel the nethery's magic overtaking you what will you do if it should ever come to that if I ever know I am no longer able to stop it I will do anything I can to ensure no one but me pays for my mistakes I will find the remotest place on the surface of faerun or perhaps Far Below in the depths of the underdark I will await that death alone I promise I will not betray your trust you kept me by your side despite the Menace that I am if worse comes to worst I will be long gone before the curtain Falls [Music] hello what can I do for you what do you think is waiting for us at moonrise towers of Starion who knows drow mind flayers death hopefully not ours but maybe answers if we can convince the right people to talk oh [Music] my good fellow quite the Cozy setup you have here I'll just make myself comfortable thank you so much I don't want him to help me man look at my wolf with the heavy armor that's amazing what happens if I cool maybe it was just a level five upgrade for the Animal Companions oh you know why I just thought of it so your Animal Companions I think power up when your proficiency Bonus Goes Up and your proficiency Bonus Goes up at characters level are character levels five and nine I think the Animal Companions just become more stronger and maybe they start putting on Armor had nothing to do with my plate armor I don't think [Music] oh wait that was 17. we want 18. there we go 19 Armor class without any boost okay let's check out what's up here got helson and will and then Withers you wish to speak Elson doesn't want to join me as a companion Hells all the Raven God's been taken to understand Duke Raven God is my father no way there's been some theories going around out there that will was the son of all the ravengar the Grand Duke of the city but now it is confirmed that that is actually true and why didn't you tell me this before because our relation was no matter of pride not least for him I was close to him once until he disowned me and cast me out of Boulder's Gate but my heart still aches to think he's been taken by these cultists that name gortash I know of him a so-called military adviser to the Baldur's Gate Elite a weapons dealer in cruder terms we must rescue father from moonrise he is a powerful man the most beloved Duke in Baldur's Gate should the absolute cultists infect him there's no telling the damage he might do when he's returned to the city there must be more to this disownment story there is and you know why I can't tell you my lips are quite literally sealed okay we'll retrieve your father from moonrise origin confidence you would have made a fine son to my father me well I've never been able to escape my father's name try as I might my story is one of two men the blade of Frontiers a man hunting the fiends who prey on the weak and Claw at the coast and will ravengard the memory of a memory a man who belongs to the Past I wanted you to know the blade not the shadow he left behind what was it like being the son of a Grand Duke not so enchanting as you think the 40s the caldwells they were the Blue Bloods hosting the fancy balls and drinking from gold goblets others the son of a blacksmith born with barely a coin in the coffers he made a name for himself among the Flaming fist Brave as Boulder and stubborn as a deep row Faye daring outspoken but hardly posh I spent more time dueling with father than I did rubbing elbows with Lords and to say I didn't develop a taste for good wine and the talent for courtly dance will has turned out to be one of the most interesting characters in Early Access he really wasn't that great and we can get will to dance and now you're the blade of Frontiers quite a change don't you think yes and no father taught me the full pillars of power courage Insight strategy Justice he reckoned I'd follow in his footsteps first as a fist Marshal then as a Duke Vanquish evil maintain order save the world but a Duke makes bedfellows with more monsters than he slays father called it diplomacy I called it hypocrisy in the Frontiers there is no posturing no diplomacy I slay monsters I don't consort with them if I might look like one interesting because in the lore although Raven guard is a great leader and actually in this game too so I was trying to wonder why he would have you know disowned will and I was starting to suspect that there's more to will than what he's telling us and maybe will isn't really this great of a person but now it's starting to make sense will didn't like his father doing what needed to be done or did it need to be done we rule the city fate spins alone as it does thou require a new Ally okay I think we're good right now look at that yeah this is uh we're in a lathander area the morning Lord we have some beautiful statuettes around here and this is a really cool Camp I'm not sure if this is like a mini camp or if this is like our new official camp or what I mean we have tense setup and everything so but I think this will probably be a great halfway point for this episode so go get yourself something to eat something to drink and I'll see you back here later on all right let's press on further into the mountain pass I feel like at some point we're gonna have to bring Lazelle into our group here because we're probably getting close to the get Yankee crash and actually I am going to dismiss karlak and just take Lazelle now just because lazel might be able to spot things Hold Ya oh come on you don't mean that oh fine you must have it is done okay let's head on out we've got an update on Will's Quest we discovered that Grand Duke ravengard is not only an important figurehead in the city of Baldur's Gate he is also Will's father I want to live here plenty of food in this game foreign okay so where do we want to go first follow the mountain pass say we keep going down this road right here [Music] well actually we can go around this way respond no never mind go wow look at it up here what if I can get up here oh man it was a nice little Lookout Point yeah we're definitely gonna be going there at some point that's for sure it looks like there's a zip line right there you need to find another way [Music] walk in the way of Dawn full of Thunder cannot protect you where the light does not reach I don't see much light down here no way no freaking way that's elminster one of the most famous Wizards and most powerful Wizards in all of pharaoh and it doesn't say alminster but I think it is level one construct you got the alert feet empowered evocation spell sniper oh we gotta go check this out stay like course a moment to indulge an old man elminster very same Gale and a fair bit miffed he is too finding himself forced to expose his best pair of boots to so many miles of country road on your behalf I think some proper introductions are in order Omar friend of mine but rather more significantly he's the most famed and respected wizard in the realms am I indeed most famed and respected errand boy more like I Was Bitten Spanish that time nor my own self to find you she sent me Gail you know of whom I speak but why out with it elminster please young man has your surgeon away from Water Deep washed away your decorum as weathers your patience I've gone without honest fair worthy of the name drank naught but what the sky entitled my thirst why some bread cheese and a cup of wine would appear unto me a feast Charlie will be crunch me a might of rest and ripped past before I get get out with it for alminster absolutely I'm actually reading the first L Minster book right now I've read all of the legend of dress series well not all most of the legend address series they just started the alminster series and elminster is also in the original Baldur's Gate games pretty crazy to be seeing him in a game like this in 2023 I suppose we could part with a few of our rations and of great kindness that would be sea Gale even in these Barren Parts the art of hospitality begets inspired new works if only one keeps up the practice oh Father love of this way then hmm to your camp oh don't total now lad you're the one who's in such a frightful hurry oh oh nigh on 13 centuries old and he still thinks with his stomach the best follow and see if he's more disposed to speak plainly once it stopped its rumbling okay we'll meet him in Camp later let him have his rest and repast in the meantime actually I can't never mind I have to go back to camp this is alminster very well I suppose I'm as curious as you are to hear what he has to say the wise choice better to indulge your curiosity than illminster's appetite yes what a delightful wedge of old as Turin that was doesn't do to Parlay on an empty stomach you know makes ones words frivolous when they should be grave plan T to try chest after all a good deal to steal over if you will words ladled with import should be savored so as to better absorb their meaning wouldn't you agree alminster um you see I am that is to say Gail my boy I've come to address a most pressing matter I'll speak as plainly as I can for swearing the accustomed Frills that decorate my speech I'm here on behalf of mistra the message and the charge I bring you are hers [Music] you were sent here as an actual Divine messenger oh mistress delicate feet are ill suited for the hardships of the road you know where you went wrong dwell on that Here and Now but even so you're to be given a chance of redemption Mr will consider forgiveness as you would consider what she considers to be forgiveness Mr is aware of the Misadventures that have befallen you both she knows of your strife with the absolute that most Insidious of evils you wouldn't happen to know of a cure would you some all-powerful parasite withering spell perhaps alas is inextricably conjoined with both the greater purpose and the greater master that it serves you must know that the absolute is more dangerous than you can possibly conceive threatens all who live even those who are undying if threatens the Gods the weave the very fabric of the universe itself that is why I have come here to charge you Gail with its destruction but as mistress belief that only you can they want to self-sacrifice I'm calling it right now I think they want gal the self-sacrifice to infiltrate the absolute and then let the nether East bomb explode could be wrong Gail alone how so the old precisely mystery has granted me the power to stop the clock as it were on the orbs rush to overpower you instead you will be able to unleash its lethal combustion at will interesting this could be help or hindrance we shall have to see you must find the heart of the absolute whatever that may be and use yourself as the Catalyst that will burn it from this world when when say what you will oh man sir but you can't force Gail to go through with us no indeed and I think she trusts me to it brings me no pleasure saying this my friend but such is mistress will yours must be the sacrifice that will undo the absolute and for your sacrifice you will be redeemed such is mistress promise with that I've said my sorry piece the need our neighborstow unto thee the charm I was bid Terraria Italy or grass on us it is done both charge and charm of being committed into your care to you I commit into care Gail himself I encounter on you to Shepherd him well on this strangest of Journeys I think I got to take myself out of Fanboy mode right now and make sure that I'm RP and my character who might not have heard of elements before hmm this is interesting but honestly I don't know if I would just go along with it right away especially if I didn't know elminster I think I would say there's still a long journey ahead we'll find another way or some other Fortune altogether [Music] is so too the sky is driven Gods Orting the tidal fates of mortal days and yet an ocean born in lonely hours come have come flow come all that is beyond the breadth of our Dominion be our moon unto yourself even the waves of Fate can break upon the shores of will Farewell My friend farewell alminster I'm glad she chose you how do we get to see him teleport away that was incredible I can't believe that we just came across alminster I'm like blown away right now and what an incredible lead up to gal's story here okay let's go right away and talk to him an audience with elminster is never less than memorable God of Hope to introduce you to him in less dire circumstances but those are hard to come by these days he didn't see much of a friend showing up and demanding you to kill yourself it's not a demand he wanted to make of me as mistress chosen he had no choice but to deliver her message however much it pained him to do so for mystra to have sent him the severity of her bidding could not be clearer all way more heavily on me time seems so infinite when you're young a month is an age a year is a lifetime and it's a strange feeling to realize how little of it one might have left that was pretty deep you're seriously considering doing what elminster said of course they offer the clearest solution to our problem all I have to do is find the right place and time close my eyes and let go then the Slate will be clean wrongs will be righted the absolute will be gone and I along with it I don't understand can't mystra just destroy the absolute or elminster himself now she has the power to do so but as for the permission Ayo would not look kindly on her meddling Immortal affairs divine intervention has a tendency to make things worse not better for elminster he saved the Realms more times and the legend can recount the take on a God is no easy feat even for him my orb is the best chance we have and only I can wield it so that's it you're on a suicide mission now possibly the most spectacular one ever conceived but essentially yes I'm living on borrowed time in more ways than one perhaps perhaps this is how it must be that remains ahead of us for now the heart of the absolute must be discovered before I can stop its beating I'll make sure we find it gal I promise I suppose there is nothing more to be done but find the heart of the absolute stop its beating Turn Up The Voice volume a little bit also I'm going to create a save file that says elminster after so we know to come before it if we want to revisit that scene one day now we just need to see dressed and I'll be happy a shame my first brush with the famed elminster couldn't be a tad Mall optimistic listen I might invoke the Triad from time to time appeal to helm but I'm no man of faith not like Gail I don't know what drives a man to consider his own death among countless others to be an appropriate exchange for his goddess's forgiveness to me it all sounds like nonsense the faith that matters most is that which you hold in yourself in the ones that most matter to you big bomb be damned Gail's got everything he needs to defeat the absolute already Talent nerve and Powerful allies at his side I hope he'll come to see that I guess we gotta let's see if he has anything to say about elminster fate just thou required of course he doesn't stupid skeleton [Music] you wish to speak you have nothing to say to me Elson starting to not like you anymore I can't believe mistress demand and Gail sacrificed himself to destroy the absolute it's just a waste of a perfectly good cult that we could be controlling and a waste of a perfectly good Gale I suppose laughs [Music] I wish there was an interaction between Volo and elements here because they know each other quite well oh my good fellow quite the Cozy setup you have here oh what was that Gayle's grandad [Music] that was elminster the most famous wizard in the realms that's something important to say to Gail if he came all this way good news I hope I don't think it was it turns out Gail has an explosive bomb in his chest and mystra has asked him to use it to blow up the heart of the absolute oh no he's got a well I guess that would explain a little but mystra I mean this is a lot to take in what's he going to do I think he's going to follow through with it for me and then there's some if the god of magic can't handle this without sacrificing Gail she's no God at all Gail he must be in bits after hearing that I'll distract him tell him I haven't read a book since Secondary School face melt off okay talk to uh Shadow I feel like I gotta I like how the companions always have something to say about the ongoing events I can't believe Mr actually expects scale to just sacrifice himself like that seems like a waste of a fine mind even if they're quick short responses I like that even the gift Yankee have her tell of the sage of shadowdale some of his Works have been translated to tisu that doesn't mean his every word carries wisdom however near as I can tell Mr demands Gales Faith but holds no faith in him why else would she demand Gail's sacrifice himself and perhaps so many others does she not think he can destroy the absolute with his own immense talents does she not know the mighty company that he keeps demanding vlakath may be but she acts for the good of the giftyanki people mistress concerned only for herself perhaps he'd find forgiveness in a fiery death but I can't help but wonder why he'd want it at all always an interesting take out of Lazelle you know to be funny is if I turn Lazelle into a Bard I have to do that sometime okay let's continue on in our adventures oops I didn't mean to do that do a partial rest you know what was really interesting about that elminster scene was that the guardian chimed in in our head basically wasn't necessarily against elminster's help still kind of just I still can't believe that we just walked up on elminster yeah this is getting into we're getting into some okay oh wow okay we might not be ready for this yet but let's check it out you're about to progress your adventure make sure to tie up any Loose Ends maybe I shouldn't click on that okay we're gonna hold off on clicking that and actually what I'm gonna oh no oh I thought geez I thought I just went into it I will come back and click on it after the session's over just so I can Peak the next area because I'm probably gonna write like an initial review for this game because I'm still playing before anybody else has access to it which is the review code Shadow cursed lands interesting okay we gotta find a waypoint here somewhere [Music] [Music] okay so I don't think I can you oh yeah let's try to do some water deep anime dead that'll be an evil thing to do but that's okay not my character that's doing it right gonna do two zombies because I want to try to get like an army of zombies with me I like how my swords actually not on fire right now I'm Gonna Leave It That Way I'm sure I'll go back here shortly but whoa oh my God are you serious we have repulsion Minds right here [Music] should be doing this with Shadow but whatever are you serious [Music] they don't do any damage though okay we gotta be real careful walking around here there's another one right here North Rosie Monastery West okay so we probably got to go through the shadow cursed lands to get to moonrise Towers I'm blown away by this area right now this is this is amazing and this is I mean of course this is new content for me this is definitely my it's almost worth the walk favorite session perhaps ever actually this is up there with the first time that I went to the underdark in Early Access I'm so confused as to like what is act one and what's act two because technically I do actually think this is act one because you can either go the underdark or go the mountain pass and the underdark is still part of act one so approach the ferry in lafanda's Grace may his gaze shine upon you pilgrim man I really hope that larian fixes up all the bugs that we've been experiencing because this is this game is special a cable car okay before we let's click it might not be the time oh wow it's a strength check I picked the right character that was tough this concept been used in a while so it looks like if you weren't able to get past that you can make your way there on the ground right here it's probably a bit more dangerous now before I get in it let's just quickly run up here the West this is the way down okay oh let me check this chest button tells me there's gonna be a trap here nice pushing a greater healing I wanted to just check out what's up here wait is this where I came from wait hold on okay never mind back this way either go down or take the cart so we're going to take the cart I'm hearing so like a some type of a bear or something somewhere yeah look at Fern with their armor whatever I wonder if I have to do another strength check wow moment Rosie morne monastery all right instead of going back and trying that path we're just going to skip it and then when I play through again I'll make sure to take that path I really like this biome makes me want to go out in nature so how do I get down here okay keep it down Mr zombie North Rosie morne monastery you know what this area actually hasn't been the act one area had more bugs we haven't really experienced that many in this area just surprising so when I play on tactician we're gonna have to really really make sure that we're crafting all the potions that we can craft making sure we're wearing the best gear at all times and there's a nice Waypoint awesome hmm okay okay instead of going through the front door Clarion gives you options [Music] oh my God oh my God we saw a screenshot we saw a screenshot of this larion posted a screenshot of this area with Gail back in the game's promotion a few months ago a magic allergy allergic to Magic if a speller can trip is cast close to the gremishka it might react to the magic and trigger a random effect oh man okay these are level one creatures okay well at least at least I have my Marshall classes up front here start off with a bless Ed magic around these things is more trouble than it's worth [Music] thank you looks like we got some new animal attacks too we'll have to take a look at the bear after this oh man oh I guess wow so I guess the spiritual weapon is what made that magic allergy go off all right Lazelle can you get in here took an opportunity attack [Music] don't take this look at this temple temple of a thunder it's beautiful I'm gonna make sure I'm not forgetting my extra attack trust me I know everybody's gonna call me out for every mistake I make anyways should I do this let's do it again let's do that let's do it again okay let me let me read that again the speller can trip is cast close to the gremeshka so that means if you target one it might react to the magic and trigger a random effect okay so it's RNG [Music] damn there's a lot of these little things I wish I could get my zombies in there dang it a little bit nervous one of these is going to explode thank you foreign [Music] [Music] thank you unstable like a everybody seems to be doing okay there we go look we got yay now we got another zombie our Undead Army is starting oh man that thing's gonna blow up okay I'm actually gonna I want to get nine I wonder if that will work hold on I'm gonna attack the other creature then instead of killing them I'm gonna skip my turn he's gonna skip gal's turn [Music] and into the zombies turn now see if we can get that nine for nah or crawling nah perfect oh my God look how much Undead I have here the edge off what are they taking damage from nice we can actually use these tails I stand in something right now newborn zombie or path lies before me we're just doing that oh maybe the maybe the Crowley gnaw there's resistance dang it they're gone I can't even check okay so this guy is not suffering that or this guy so these might be the original zombies I'm not sure I didn't mess with this too much in Early Access because I was kind of burnt out when we got access to this Okay so newborn zombie zombies born from the Crowley gnaw cannot last they take one necrotic damage each turn and only follow the zombie that infected them okay now it makes sense I don't know if that was in Early Access let me save this as oh I guess I guess that's a good name okay let's check this place out so we went in on the Upper Floor here oh didn't mean to do that wow I gotta organize my inventory at the end of this session I'm gonna spend some time and try to figure that out well we have an iron gate right here huh no more thieves Tools in my group that's unfortunate Wizards Bane oil coat your weapon and oil its targets receive minus three penalty to spell attack rolls and spell save DC and disadvantage on saving throws for maintaining concentration interesting my Blade's no longer burning still getting the fire damage though so I should be I'm okay with that actually well it ends not as bad as it could ever oh no stinking Cloud haste and then conjure Miner Elemental foreign type here oh yes you can I forget we can select multiple items now to grab all the Scrolls and then send Miguel perfect [Music] now let's go to Gale one is inventory my character kind of looks like gal I keep getting their pictures mixed up the scroll of counter Elemento I don't know what spell that is yeah we're too low to learn that so I might actually hang on to that we can learn to detect thoughts though for a hundred gold it's quite expensive [Music] Scroll of haste for 150 gold yeah I learned haste and necromancy spells would cost me half because I'm a necromancy wizard now here's another thing I want to check out oh it's level six that'll get I think I get the Boost if I recall my information correctly I think level six is when Gales necromancy feature comes in that makes my Undead summons more powerful and they'll be more powerful than Shadow Hearts you have my attention interesting looks like there's just a million places you can go here all right everybody watch out record of complaints you're enjoying this aren't you humiliation suits you somebody's in the other room oh look we're getting a recipe for potion of animal speaking essence of acorn truffle and salts of rogue's morsel I think I already have that don't I animal speaking yep foreign nice [Music] the bear has honeyed paws flash out with Paws sticky from honey and disarm your target if it isn't holding any weapons of Falls prone that's incredible I love it you know what the beastmaster's starting to really come in it just felt pretty weak the first five levels but now it feels a little bit cooler I think level nine is when we get our next Beastmaster upgrade I believe very well this mountain pass is really cool it like almost gives like a jungle vibe I'll never remember to get a shovel I'm telling you guys right now I am never going to remember to get one wow look at this this is where we would have came in it's glorious where is everybody though Enchanted door vulnerable to force radiant resistant vulnerable the fire even though it says resistant necrotic resistant piercing resistant slashing vulnerability this makes me a little nervous this is an enchanted door permanent guardian of faith oh my gosh I'm surprised that larion actually lets us see in here usually got fog of War what is this creature when an entity enters your attack range you can strike them so it's yeah so it's guarding something right now creature can't be disarmed strike back at the next enemy that attacks you 60 HP it's a level 7 construct only level five right now flashing damage against this entity is doubled a miracle cast by a cleric of immense power the stalwart Divine Guardian attacks nearby enemies how they get it open though whoa oh my gosh whoa oh no dude oh oh wow I did not expect it to come up to that I'm definitely leaving and coming back with with my character oh I guess now it's lazelle's turn everybody came up [Music] I hope everybody leave everybody leave whoa the plot Swan it speaks to me help I'm not going to hurt you I just wanted to say hello hmm I wonder if I screwed that scene up by not going up with my Ranger first hmm okay we're gonna have to come back to that that was super cool I love these little interactions with nature owl bear I don't want to startle them though my Ranger knows better okay what the heck do we have here stained glass window facade Dawn Master welcome Glory ceremonial long sword don't muster see cold I wonder if you have to line these up the right way or something problem is I can't tell the difference between this guy and this guy they look the same this guy's got a two-handed sword this guy's carrying some triangle this looks like a tiefling this guy I don't know um do we try it all right let's go ahead and back everybody out of the room I guess the I have no idea what this even is right now but the first thing oh no this is already lined up the sword guys with the sword history's notable keep us Adorn these intricate panels my head looks so small oh we failed the religion check I should have had gal do this okay examine the image marked Don Master seed the reconsecration of the monastery conducted by Dawn Master seed look at the picture of the Dawn Master Stockholm even song before the Zenith Day celebrated by Dawn master stockhold Dawn Master vasaeed wielding rest of the inscription and picture has shattered away okay I think I know what we gotta do gone Master welcome Glory Master welcome Glory beckons Force the Rising Sun in lafanda's name okay so I'm thinking at first I thought we're going to be turning this I think we got to find items that represent each one of these guys it looks like the sword is already placed here to give us a clue so as we explore the temple no not sure but the monastery's notable Keepers adore the reconsecration of the monastery conducted by Dawn Master seed even song before the Zenith Day celebrated by Dawn master stockhold Dawn Master welcome Glory beckons Dawn Master vasaeed wielding the rest of the inscription and picture okay so not sure if that's what you do but I think that probably is what you do kind of curious what happens if I touch this though oh no I don't know if I should but I just can't resist okay but yeah he's got to keep an eye out for uh certain items I think as we explore here take note of every item we pick up what now I'm not even sure what that's going to do is it going to open up this for that doesn't look like that I'm not sure what it's going to do what I wanted to do actually though was come see if I could get through here that was my original plan it looks like I can and now I can see this guardian of the faith oh man okay all right F5 in case we tpk probably in tpk territory now I think we have to send in my wolf first or the bear first but summons are for the zombie let's send in the zombie first oh man um do I do it oh this is I'm gonna instantly die I know it okay at least we can test out we're gonna I wonder if this guy can come through the window all right my turn a rough Tempest I will raise see what we can do here I feel like this dude's gonna be like he doesn't have any immunities if you knock out this entity or flee from combat it may Harbor some resentment towards you but it will not remain hostile okay start off with a magic Missile level one okay it takes damage just fine oh I forgot to prepare guiding bolt back dang I don't have any good spells now for range guiding bolt was everything for the cleric High defense 30 percent attempted to descend Lazelle in I want to see what this guy does though on the first round 25 so hard to hit ranged attacks oh wow wow wow wow okay he took some damage from that though I think he leaves me no choice creature can't be disarmed so all right I think he's doing AOE damage or something around him man this is so much fun having these new combat encounters to try to figure out I'm going in you only live once I don't have I mean oh I use my bonus action that's why okay well in that case let's throw a weapon ath is interrupted back up a little bit nice nice nice am I messing somebody in combat here no I don't think so it's the Bear in a zombie right oh my God right when you walk in you just take and he's dead he's gone though okay a good thing I had zombies to test that out yeah guardian of Faith spell and a remarkably long-lasting one of them not sure if that's like a DND thing but if any of you guys are watching that are DND players have you ran into spells like that before oh is what is he guarding the door is still Enchanted I wonder if I can actually do damage to it now oh my gosh I just picked up ceremonial battle ax okay perfect that's one of our items that we needed that's what he was guarding Scroll of banishment crazy be on my way still want to go back and see what those Eagles are all about what I just do drop it on top of me bro I keep getting knocked down that's the way to do it so I think we're doing that right right now history's notable keeper don't Master vasaiid wielding rest of the inscription and picture he was shattered away he was wielding the ax okay [Music] where to go now so much to explore here we're only on the top floor too where are my companions going wow they're taking the long path holy crap all right hold on let's looking ahead freaking huge man I feel like the eagles might have like a weapon or something they gotta be guarding something right you would think you'd see these little hmm okay let's go out by myself wish I had wild shape right now Mr bear no you know what let's bring a raven with me bird to bird look at the armor that is so cool 21 HP Ren vision of course bad Omen hurl one of your feathers at a Target to Mark its curse Market is cursed pack rules against the affected entity have Advantage wow I'm starting to enjoy The Beastmaster okay I have to speak with animals active oh nice we got the scene again I think [Music] [Music] come on no I'm using an Inspiration Point we got this come on come on game come on yes foreign Xavier Xavier don't talk to it it might have germs still alive so that's progress we do we have a ceremonial Warhammer right here wow look at this it's a freaking telescope or something what the heck is that [Music] you can pass but you're not to talk to me gross that was great all right so this is obviously gonna piss off the eagle um 62 HP you don't want to fight the eagle oh shite [Music] okay well it is what it is I was wondering if that was gonna happen damn okay it's gonna be tough [Music] you know what I can do I can do non-lethal blows at the end though if I need to good what is that okay what was that getting a little nervous here not gonna lie not gonna lie 30 for the feather bad omen foreign oh man this is going to be interesting [Music] I'm gonna put on non-lethal attacks okay so it's still alive I feel feel much much better ah this creature's allies will appear next turn to defend it are you kidding me oh okay okay that's not good it's not good at all that is not good oh damn that's not good either okay we're doing pretty good getting into the extra attack with them where are these other targets though I could you know what I could do actually bring more of them down on us oh great I'll tell you what we're gonna do here I will tell you what we're gonna do [Music] um foreign okay we got a major problem we got a major problem I have an idea though they still got non-leaflon one of these freaking Eagles do we have what level are they the level four okay so that tells me that we're not samely I wonder what level this guy was level five it's like we're at the right level for this area foreign we have Gail and also Shadow way down there damn damn damn damn damn damn good charm animal that'd be used in combat I'm gonna have to look up charm animal let's move the zombie on the front line things can move so far oh great that's not good I think I can kill them my initial plan was though I think I'm gonna have to wow my initial plan was to flee because I'm okay with it it's kind of like I didn't mean to disturb the Eagle's Nest so I'm just grabbing my thing and getting the hell out of there but the fleet plan is looking like it's not going to work anymore because this is pretty bad right here it might work still would this actually work would a void bulb pull Eagles that are flying I don't know if it would possibly pulling nearby objects and creatures okay all right got to move hey great job dire Raven this Advantage attack rolls range attacks spells Roots 10 feet attacks against blinded creatures have advantage from the Eagles I know I can win that fight now but I'm sticking with my original I can't flee now I wonder if they would come down here let's go ahead and flee okay first time testing this out in the full release you know I'm so tempted to do something really crazy right here so tempted to do something right now Shadow Hearts turn is not until the next round which is scary okay I'm not gonna do what I the crazy thing that I was gonna ensue I'm not gonna do it I was gonna push Shadow heart over the edge right here and just revive her I mean we haven't even used a revive scroll yet still have some okay [Music] gotta get these zombies to pull aggro a little bit come on fly to the zombie perfect perfect perfect this is so cool this actually worked out now the Raven will fight to the death oh man third verse bird that is such a cool spell right there no they're eating me alive I might take these on with my Raven holy crap and you know what with my Raven I think I'm okay with uh not being able to turn on passive let's go oh oh and he's gone just like that okay all right okay so we got everyone back here am I in Comfort right now I'm not so let's um let's end the day take a little nap [Music] and it worked out that is crazy I'm ready I think that was a really cool way to RP fleeing right there instead of just fleeing because you're scared of combat like legit fleeing because I'm a ranger of the wild and I didn't mean to upset the Eagles let's call him the boar this time nice Tusk attack boar charge that would be frightening I'm back Mr Moore hey which one was the Warhammer oh lizelle picked it up wait why didn't that oh it did okay breathing despite everything okay we only need one more you know this episode is running really long but I feel like I can't end it right now we gotta just go for it I don't necessarily have to explore this entire place this episode but we got to try to find the other we're so close to finishing that little puzzle the heck is that is that something okay so we're looking for one more I don't know what that's gonna be but let's um let's go downstairs I don't know how to get down there though or we go back on the roof I'm lost I'm quite lost now I could jump down from right here Gotta Be A Way in down I wonder if the Eagles are still on the roof or if I could go back up there okay this looks like a way we can get down about killing ourselves the question is how am I gonna be able to get back up okay all right well let's do uh let's do it no never mind oh whoa careful careful careful folks oh my gosh it's corn balls oh this is great they're all drunk too oh this is so funny this is man so far entering into these new areas this has been uh one of my favorite gaming experiences this year this session look at these little things man fire wine belly drunk on fire when have disadvantage on Charisma dexterity checks the drug entity is killed with fire an explosion occurs foreign [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] there we go oh no oh damn it so my PL oh man my plan was going to be to aggro them all on the board over here I had and then I was gonna do a fireball oh my God oh that's funny everybody's just doing stealth checks you still in stealth nope everybody is in except shadow s do foreign a little bit nervous with him standing right there butt squirrel let's stay Frontline see what these things can do kicking off passive on lethal damage foreign sacrificed himself that was awesome God slow down that was awesome halfway to level six question is is there any weapon in here that I do not know hey Shadow what's up oh no don't go back up to ludicobald damn there's a lot of fire in here okay we'll go this way I don't think I don't see anything there's a Cobalt inventor right here though maybe I should loot that guy you know I'll just have my Ranger loot album because I do have fire resistance so it's not a big deal could use create water too but and there it is it's a good thing I did this so who's that actually on okay I actually seriously was about to walk out and not loot these guys I never would have freaking found the thing Okay so the question is how do we get back to the top now foreign just noticed that okay aha aha get a five the freaking pouches better be good to the next Dawn star I don't think we're going to make it but the blood is secure we closed it off with magic only one of our own can take it if anyone else tries the walls will fall and they won't get out of here alive should that happen pray for Rosie Moore and Monastery but do not mourn it's for the best in death new life always the blood is secure we close it off with magic only one of our own can take it if anyone else tries the walls will fall and the dawn Masters crest we found an oddly shaped Crest that belonged to a high priest of lathander perhaps it can help us find the blood of lavander okay the monastery's notable Keepers Adorn okay well I think we've probably done half of the temple now this episode is running quite long but I was having just such a great time this is such a cool area this gets me really really excited for the city it also worms crossing bridge in Rivington and interestingly enough there wasn't hardly any bugs in this new area it's been mostly in act one that we've been experiencing those bugs but thank you all so much for watching let me know if you guys are enjoying this let's play series up to now very rarely do I do content like this and I'll catch you on the next one
