The Diplomatic Druid - Baldur's Gate 3 - Ep 13

hey folks quilly team here and it is Friday Friday gotta get down on Friday and we're back with Baldur's Gate three baby ah so excited no live stream tomorrow no live stream on Saturday I'm I'm away uh so we're playing on Friday which I might have done anyway because who could wait the extra day to play some Baldur's Gate 3 I'm still so hyped about this as you can tell it's like kind of sort of the only thing we're playing right now um but that's just the way it's going to be there's there's some other stuff coming up on YouTube uh shortly but um yeah mostly it's gonna be a whole lot of volume three at least for the next little while Brewing Mead Persian Aurora that's awesome hmm yeah I missed a diver too we're gonna we're definitely gonna jump back into that that is not forgotten definitely gonna be continued oh interesting Hey fat peanut pet stay you're all praying about an hour so you have to get ready I mean how important could that be really it's awesome holy cow we got people being very productive today I mean it's a Friday so you know it's a work day for people which isn't the ideal for for the long stream but yeah we gotta do this every time quill mentions Dell I think a certain computer ban yeah but yeah the lures well I often just refer to as Dell on my own here can I double click to open their inventory is it only this or hitting eye not double clicking on the porch I guess double clicking Zooms in the camera that makes a lot of sense mm-hmm are you playing for your brother's mother's birthday slash Christmas well we're celebrating my mother's birthday tomorrow which is why I'm not gonna be here tomorrow why there's no stream this Saturday is because of my mother's birthday [Music] I'm gonna make port with half the need when it's done what the hell that's so cool I guess the port you just I mean it's mostly a concentrated right that's one of the things with Port I think I don't know happy birthday Quill's mother it's gonna be great we're gonna have this uh big picnic lots of people invited all outdoors I hope the weather's gonna be good I haven't actually checked it um what's the weather gonna be tomorrow I'm sorry is that saying thunderstorms oh well that might change a few things I don't know we'll have to see um wow um oh well that's really unfortunate hang on what the heck okay why is why is Facebook so trash there I'm just sending a sister a message to my sister here about this we'll see we may have to make some changes or plans here uh 45 with Brandy since there's rule about laws about distilling in Sweden oh why is Facebook so trash that's a loaded question yeah I just hate that you have to click like 15 different times to get the um Facebook Messenger also they'll email you that you got a message on messenger but they won't actually tell you what it is until you click through which I get because they want you know they want to get the Impressions and the ads and everything but if you found a way to sell off your character inventory at the same time it's possible the controller is your list of everyone's inventory you can sell from all of them without having to switch between the inventories really with the controller you get a list of everyone's inventory so the user interface actually changes I mean I guess it makes sense that the UI changes some when you've got a controller plugged in yeah I don't know if there's anything built in um that I've noticed we can we can poke around again next time where to shop and see if anything changes but we'll see all right so let's recap where are we well I'm actually not entirely sure we're in some sort of blacksmith's Forge over here we could pop out to the surface we haven't actually done that we can pop out to the surface and just confirm where in the world we are but we are going to be turning around and coming right back in here let me just check my volumes here I felt a little quiet good there making sure I didn't end up turning things down no I think it was just my own personal speakers were low hey quill pay attention to make a new subscriber Sad Panda thanks for the sub oh door's locked interesting oh let's just say we can pick the lock or maybe we just pull on the giant lever over here on the side we are gonna be going right back in but I want to see oh wait really interesting I didn't realize that's where that was okay so let's pop back in and head back down into the spider's lair I'm sure at some point I've probably on maybe like in the one of the early access plate well playthroughs dabblings I might have come in through that door but maybe not again only a very briefly dabbled with the Early Access build because I really want to save my uh my first impressions for a first real playthrough so we're measured fine though rests so [Music] we'll use a couple of uh should I spread them out I know we use another one from Shadow heart here that's fine get ourselves topped off otherwise resources are okay I think to push forward but I'm very concerned because I know there's a giant badass spider here now have we figured out like any like better way to like skip through this what I could do is I could ungroup the party and just run them one at a time doing a series of jumps although there's still a chance of being trapped kind of annoying but I think mostly we do this and then we wait until everyone else is made through occasionally getting in webbed very frustrating now now let's head this way this is in Greece face spider eggs dead Goblin over there loot the Cocoon dark ring you can't loot the egg I wonder if we should be attacking these I mean they are kind of pests wow seriously dude nothing popped out I'd be worried in like in battle if some things could pop out of there dead Goblin skull how much is a scimitar worth 30. all right we'll pick up and add to Wares and a chunk of gold we could do just like in Ballers get two pick up all these skulls but maybe one all right I'm Gonna Keep hugging the right hand side of the map here anyone had issues with Cloud sync saving just me um do you mean like with like the steam Cloud syncs I don't think I've had any stealth mode over here hey Chris egg clutch I wonder if it should be attacking those they do glow which is interesting pink we're about to see something very large here okay I've been through here in my multiplayer group yeah so there's a space spider mate shark over here we are gonna want to go and kill that but I'm wondering about saving that a little bit later where the other side tunnel is because I know there's a side tunnel with some sweet sweet loot is that East here I what I would like to do actually is I would love you can go and I think under interface you can lock the mini map to be facing north right which makes it really easy to like figure out Direction the problem is there's no indicator here to show you your camera Direction so I don't know if clicking This Way is East Northwest South whatever which I think needs to be adjusted like to me there's no point in having a North facing mini-map if you can't tell what direction you're facing in with your camera here so what we have to do is do this which does annoy me because I often like to lock the mini map but yeah not not in the state that it's in right now [Music] okay we're gonna head to the South part over here and see if anything reveals itself [Music] yeah Minimax should have had the field of viewing code yeah exactly which I suspect is something we're going to see at some point get added in no longer need snake we'll go a little faster here there we go it's like I'm pretty sure there was a cave somewhere that we could get to oh an old backpack there we didn't loot I mean there's probably not much going on um you know Shadow heart does way stuck back there actually in group for a sec is that a heart almost in her name hey we got some loot all you have to do saving throws even while standing still foreign all right come on down here oh Mage hand could be actually I'm not sure that we do have mage I want to see it I mean if we had Gail then sure but we don't water 's in here because why not Beacon torch is a lot of them now we could be using the Torches theoretically to burn some more of the web although we need to Traverse a lot of the web so I'm not sure how much of an advantage we get out of doing that all right a bunch of books okay we've read on death and Resurrection I don't think we've read oral histories of favorite gift and mind flares this sounds very relevant this book comprises several chapters one for each sided Source it claims to contain first-hand transcription of the oral histories of several storytellers throughout the realm chapter four palador of Swift 700 years of age would elf Storyteller hailing from the wood of sharp teeth it took me several 10 days of quiet habitation in the wood before the venereal palador felt comfortable revealing his presence to me the longer I stayed oh hey hey cool man quill be careful you have entered my spider cave spider puns why did the man return his new pair of spider silk trousers they looked great but the fly kept getting stuck spider and an ear of corn cobwebs I like that first one though the fly kept getting stuck that was good um longer State demonstrating was no Health days no threat to his health and peace the more open he was the gentle inquiry this tale relayed to me on a chilly morning as we stoked a small fire between us was like none I had heard before or since I asked if it were fiction and he insisted emphatically that it was true as his own right eye long ago before my eyes and ears before your lonesome quill dear scribe there was an Empire of people or perhaps only belief an Empire of brain eaters Soul wasters they call themselves illithids The flares of Mines the children of gifts were bowed bent in service to the flares a passionate people made to serve a cold belief the flares were Untouchable their minds a great oppressor no proud will or passion could break gifts children's free until at last a reckoning its source unknown its power unproven but its events history making the cowd could not be cracked gifts children fought back valiantly their freedom theirs the flares bent and broken killed today actually I don't know the story of the uh the GIF Yankee and the gifts array um and their origin and and their deal in their history it sounds like the GIF maybe as a whole people I'm assuming maybe there was a split a Chisholm between the people that happened later on between the get the Yankee and gets array um but it does sound like so the GIF we're kind of just universally enslaved by the the Mind flares hmm introduction to The Weave I don't think we've read this if you try to understand the weave a true pity for only they who truly attuned to The Weave can rightly call themselves spell casters thus comes the question what is the weave it is an essential element of the universe it runs through everything in unseen threads it is what makes magic possible it is also though I will not go into further detail here the goddess of Mr herself see magic of the weave Mr and the spell plague the wave isn't Magic precisely rather it is the raw material from which magic is woven not entirely unlike how a collection of thread is shaped and formed into a garment those with the necessary talent and skill can manipulate the weave and perform Magic by casting spells developing the skill takes years of learning and constant practice you might have heard those who can cast spells because they're born with innate connection to the weave commonly called Sorcerers or worse because they struck a bargain with an otherworldly creature also known as warlocks do not be deceived their magic is unpredictable uncontrolled and in some cases not even rightfully theirs no to truly know and manipulate the weave is an art but those Wizards who Master it will know the Limitless power and Beauty The Weave provides foreign a bloody Journal um weave equals the force yes though originally a screed on Lost penned in blood this book's Crimson script has been smeared away in several places a different hand writing a topic I recall my life upon the surface with more than regret I weep for the decades spent treading the murky Waters of profanity while my true Queen waited in the shadows even my name Elliot feels foreign and foul upon my tongue a high elf exalted by Loth herself my drought captors could not fathom it but I see their House's downfall in Visions granted by the Spider Queen herself when that day comes when some unnamed welp from an insignificant house cuts the matron mother's throat I will escape I will find Solitude and I will worship Loft within my very soul [Music] the web cardboard Journal over here are stuck together with thick webbing that leeches ink when pulled from the page only the final entry remains remotely legible it is time I will forever transcend this Blasphemous flesh and refactor myself in the Queen's image no longer will be I'd be bound to this lowly form this base shape of organ and Bone even the arachnomancers of menzobarenzen will weep at my feet their little spells so feeble and fleeting today I found the house of Loth and I shall be its matriarch so I guess this is someone who didn't transform themselves into the Jesus Christ thank you Halco much appreciated oh wow we got some sushi coming your way thank you very much um so yeah I don't think I don't think they're becoming a yeah a dreider is that what they're called like the the spider centaurs really right the drow it feels like they've they've gone peon and call themselves become the matriarch so I'm wondering if they turn themselves into that that giant space spider matriarch we saw which is interesting and a heavy chest here no no perception checks going on so I guess we can open it there we go spider step boots immune to being in webbed movement speed is not affected by web services so that sounds great um I'm gonna propose that there's not much reason for us to put it on Dell here on the basis that when we're shape-shifted this isn't going to matter now it might make the most sense to put on a Starion oh next you don't have many Magic boots okay because really asterian does want to get into melee and that'll give us the flexibility here I don't know if this is an item we need to keep long term but for now it's going to be very convenient for us to um be able to ignore that all right your dual wielding over here which seems like a good idea another Journal here tattered Journal a journal filled with hastily sketch diagrams of spiders and various spell runes the captions are largely written in code save our free passages near the end that are penned in shaky common they can sense my devotion it draws them I hear them in Shadows Whispers from the dark mother I woke to a gift wrapped in spider silk a pair of boots taken from a Heretics corpse Loth sends her daughters to reward my faith to let me know who uh to let me know I am on the right path another gift the corpse of a drow sigil scarred upon his face an arachnomancer one with the power to inhabit the spider's form it is a message to call it my blood already dries upon the dagger her blessed image carved into my skin all right that's not creepy at all you had a ritual diagram over here already diagram is drawn upon this parchment depicting ritual of some kind at the bottom two figures a spider and an elf are scratched sketched within overlapping circles a single word is penned beneath them Transcendence and we have a wicker chest here with a bunch of Scrolls art Journal I can't Mouse over you can loot you um most of these books pages have been carefully burned away those that remain contained a single sentence written in varying states of agitation in her form I find ecstasy the spell is not enough anything in the middle of the table we got a Cleaver always room for both bottles okay I think I've looted everything over here can't slow down nothing good here I hope thank you if there was a spider we hadn't looted silk Clan I used to make web grenades interesting yeah we might want a long rest before we actually go and take on the super spider which I think was over here check this cave out I feel like that's everything save for taking on the big bad boss which was in this area over here yeah maybe what we do is we walk up here eventually I mean we'll have to deal with webs along the way or walk up here and then we'll go ahead and do a long rest Matrix is more Rich feeding party combined 96 HP versus 125 yeah that's true I think it was level five which is pretty substantial I mean we have some Blaze we have most of our spell slots no one back home will ever believe this you couldn't try I mean what could possibly go wrong try it as is Find A Way Forward I wonder if the gods are watching me okay hold on Space Fighter down there I think it was over there we just don't have line of sight right now another one there I wonder if we can take out these little face spiders before the fight starts something good here I hope what's next I wonder um there are multiple alerts fireweb and spider webs there must have been that's interesting um shadowheart hasn't gone back to stealth mode there we go we might be able to do some snipey Do's from over here and wouldn't that be handy if we could help me now I don't know if we can sneak attack from here because in in um tabletop if Ed you can sneak attack with a ranged weapon but I believe you have to be within 30 feet although that might only apply to the sneak attack that you get um from an ally being in melee it might not matter for the sneak attack from like an against unaware enemy but I suspect it might be the case really no yeah really now so what we're gonna do is we're going to do this we're going to start with um an acid Arrow sneak attack it's like normal range still I think it's going to be worth a try 75 chance that's with advantage or actual roll chances and fantastic as long as you're not having disadvantage from long range I think it'll count for sneak attack well let's find out I'm hoping we still get the sneak attack while using the acid Arrow yeah we're gonna go ahead and Alpha strike here hell s uh The Matriarch is in the fight now my party members are not yet Faith protects me [Music] probably I should have actually dropped a warning Bond ahead of time I think a little late now but I'm gonna go ahead and drop it on Dell okay right thanks for reminding me of the bonus auction to rehide
