The Diplomatic Druid - Baldur's Gate 3 - Ep 189

all right carlac yeah just let's not use any more resources just beat the hell out of this guy congratulations the winner is us that's considered a theft really check the Unstoppable buff Meridan didn't have Unstoppable buff did it no it's got Wars now and blood J let's see what this does I mean the enem is head Unstoppable yeah that's what you meant uh log notes kept by those on duty in the vaults of the bank they detail the comings and goings of any visitors to the vaults including any deposits and withdrawals made they use coded language to preserve some visitors anonymity but a recent entry seemed pretty straightforward representatives from the sesar family trow or red Wizard who's the Zar again we know this name uh visited the vaults in the late evening depositing an unknown item his behavior was unusual and he responded to standard questions with shock and horror reported a strange Behavior per protocol oh is that a San's Master that's kazador oh representative alar family so yes okay uh but as told this was to be expected representative this particular client no further questions be permitted okay we are a little bit I think what I'm going to do real quick if I can remember how how do a short rest is it in here here yeah I'm going to burn a short rest for some heals regain some charges of some things mom used to tell me about Midol no wait that's not theft it would be if the chest was R it' be a theft right man it has been so long since we played murderous cut yeah but it's not worth anything light on my feet minut I don't think any of these are going to have anything interesting oh shiing lost notice letters written in rough Hasty scrawl latest load of barrels didn't arrive no word from Kos assuming the worst can't wait any longer the plus plan must go ahead use what you have now deal with the complications later all right no our uh multiplayer group didn't finish up we've actually been playing Casta lately and it's been great you can tell well that a lot of Mech this was not my fault she swore that mimic could swallow a bloody out bear wait you're no Guild sworn who are you person just saved your life little gratitude wouldn't go a Miss security consultant your vaults leave a little to be desired just tell me what happened I think I'm going to go with three I think that's the vibe with Dell was looking very serious these days since going through partial coph foris our cunning trap just got flipped ass ways up is what nine fingers wants the stone Lord Dead with what he cleared from our vaults he's got enough gold to make himself gra the Vault yeah but he's working for Jahira or's a cult that much money I don't care coin yeah I do actually and why the elaborate trap I mean elaborate traps and vaults kind of make a lot of sense this seems like a dumb question who doesn't want money though all these options are kind of man I'm going to go with three though you saw what he did to that mimic eh would you take him head off is consultant a thing in BG Universe I mean what is an adventuring group if not some sort of consultant sir Stone Lord sir shall we open the account in your name or the absolute just step this way to your special deposit box don't mind the teeth no one mentioned he might have some old Crone dropping in his backup as chairman of the fellowship of financiers I can assure you we'd reward you well for the return of the coin he took I like rewards not for us you understand for the common baloran who knows what he's planning to do with it uh how much taken so we find the money what's stop me keep in for myself just need to find Minsk I can't nothing for the coin do we know about Minsk though I I I don't know if we' heard anything exact but how much was taken try all of it every penny of Civilian lodgings anyway I mean not like we'd lead him into the private vaults but still L baloran waking up poor tomorrow what you can do with that kind of coin weird doesn't bear thinking Audio Level change in the speech there [Music] um I mean I guess we probably at least know that the story of mins so I guess I can say this I don't know maybe maybe we got some maybe we got some story and development in game already for Minsk I just don't know how much our characters know about him good for you I have care a very great deal brothering you should know who Minsk was and I'll make sure you are I mean that's true but do we know that he'd still be alive greater than gold I think he was called the stone Lord cuz maybe got statued for a while help you pick up the stone Lord sent me I've got Ledges to amend okay these Footprints started in the sewers did they how can we tell cuz they're covered in poop I can pick up these chales no one cares no traps please I'll take some clothing options okay so how delicious Enchanted security intricate Arcane lock making prevents knock spells from opening the safe what about lockpicking challenge DC 30 I mean that's no joke this just part of our um this is just part of an investigation K AR those belong in the museum uh what did we just loot I can't damn it I can't get out of my way elegant studded leather ambusher gains plus two bonus to initiative roles advantage on stealth checks and has the shield spell built in so staring would lose a point of AC I think that's worth it though cuz plus one to initiative is a big deal it's a plus one gain CU we went from a plus one to a plus two is a big deal in ball of Gate 3 because initiative roles are like is it like a D4 or D6 rooll like it turns out it's a very small role so the pluses really matter a lot for the initiative order which aarin cares about um the advantage on stealth checks is not maybe as important as it will be in a lot of situations because basically stealth we either stay out of vision cones or we invent cones and it usually pops pretty fast but it might make a difference but I think the shield spell might be handy in actual pen and paper D and D getting advantage on stealth I mean wow I just don't know how much of a big deal it does here so with the footprint I guess they just teleported in and out so okay maybe Nina still needs a crack skull I mean so presumably we could kill everyone here and then loot everything but I'm not going to we got an ad break kicking in soon if we run into anything dramatic I will pause the game but otherwise we're going to keep muttering through um I was trying to get Dell to read that note is it one of those other things where we an object that we can't reach okay no we could reach glitterbeard you will recall that I deposited a rather important ring in your Vault for safekeeping I may have been prur locking it away and decided rather keep it close I'll be along tomorrow to retrieve it please have all the necessary arrangements made yours Etc lady farelli janith myay bloody loading dock chest key how interesting another okay I mean same key but I don't know what if they turn subtly different Vault chest key glitterbeard was Community manager for so so who passed away a cancer year after join the rare team oh man see a thieves oh can't reach this I'll go this way what's with the pathing in this area much coin back here I'd have robed the place myself it's just it's cursed it's like that book in um moonrise Moon Haven what the did you did this guy just never get T like triggered okay time to move all well lit actually can I go and turn this out not much for him to do they w now what bit them what now that's really funny just have to wait till that guy takes an action and breaks his own uh Sanctuary there it is ow that is some damage repost all right [Music] a slightly unexpected if not over throl so the way the fight was going I'll stay hidden yeah should have kept hidden longer orders from Jay presumably false jira Stone Lord Strike Team update on the counting house operation we've been tipped off to an expect an ambush once reach the Vault The Guild underestimates us as usual and if we maintain coordination we should be able to Shug it off without casualties let the stone Lord take the lead if you deal efficiently with the cash guards there may be time to gather additional funds before with withdraw bring everything to the sistern in the sewers so all right we got some text some Quest progression from reading that as well open up am I going back to the sewers right now I don't know we got to save lelle I think I think it's plan like let's go kill Gort now I think that's kind of where I'm at bloody better not be coming out of my wages anything else I should do down here before I leave let's see I mean there's still those extra vaults up there that loot but you know are we thieves I mean a little bit yeah but you know can come back [Music] later yeah we might we might figure out some things with some of these extra little side vaults later too thieves No Loot goblins yes yeah that's us why that there their coin will go Qui out the door and some will go out with a splash by the do door right not allowed through there I mean we've dealt with your problem hope you had a fruitful visit sir but that's your business of course I have something to ask mind your man is down here sir all right whatever yeah we'll be back to loot the place clean later more return to Camp toop did you hear that's not a bad idea the count there's the captain what you mean coin Maiden smile on you that's it [Music] really I'm a little disappointed yeah maybe I should go and talk to jir find out why she's involved in like the heist and you know confirm it's not actually her we don't need to rest on the other hand we've got like basically unlimited supplies so I suppose we could wait you're still here you left for a while brought my own pairing knife I'd started to suspect that maybe she had been the um you know one of the secret uh doppelgangers because I hadn't been able to see her in ages that's carlac there's jira it fixed it in patch four what oh her disappearing was a glitch's chosen is a doppelganger uh-huh I should not be surprised they have ever been among his favorites they do show up a lot and bothers gate one and two testing you either she thinks herself a predator playing with her food dising was a bug they fixed okay do good once paranoid like to make mistake you seem to have experienced doppelgangers like try that again yeah why why didn't she just attack us she circling have no doubt of that H the last time I fought doppelgangers the balpa svok was using them to subvert the city government Aid his rise to power but Orin he's more Predator than politician I think she simply wants to make us feel hunted isolated tell the lordling that Orin is watching seems that Gort and Orin have had a little falling out we should leverage that well I think I'm going to leverage a dagger into his heart but yeah tell about what happened to the counting house scarning shape Changers and of course the would follow their every word just because they wear my face I have not been overly generous yeah I really thought it was her I think like they should have left her out learn of the chosen true enough make it an ascended bug but I set my Harper searching for someone else too tell me what do you know of a man named Min overan I know carlock's a big fan the name is as familiar as is jira's own a hero of the time of troubles who saved the city more than once but few know of his fate I think I had hoped to keep it that way Minsk is an old friend perhaps my oldest we fought at one another's backs times Beyond counting and the last time I saw him I left him to die damn uh what happened before we ever heard of this absolute we received word of a gathering in the under City what we found was the first dark seed of this plot a circle of cultists with mind flares in their midst we might have ended it there got off at the route but before I could send for help Min charged in alone it was chaos he was overrun dragged down beneath a mass of tentacles I had a choice stay and let word of this cult die with us or leave him and live to fight another day yeah what about Buu we haven't seen him yet uh I mean I know that the lifespan of a hamster isn't that long but what about space hamsters giant or miniature who knows so you left him and would again the world takes much from those who presume to defend it but sometimes you get to take it back infection indoctrination eradication that has been the fate of everyone the cult has captured so far but it has not been yours with your help perhaps it need not be minc either is this really more important than stopping the chosen it's a legit question you need not preach the cause to me there I've already told you what I sacrificed in its name but only a fool would discard a potential ally like Minsk he has faced God and elth it both just as I have not in my campaigns he hasn't without the means to find him without the Harpers we shall have to find another path I grow tired of these false without the Harpers every corner we turn another and now it is my face they used to turn Min is there something we could do to have the Harpers but I am just tired Sal King Harper now is not the time to grow soft why we know me is alive just have to find him maybe we should have killed him while we had the opening of course you're tired you're ancient but we still have work to do um I guess I'll say two because it's kind of the not jerk ass one although this might be sort of a friendly ribbing the kind that she would appreciate call her a boomer I mean I like to think that Dell's probably fairly old too he's also an elf H you know what I'm going to go with one and I'm hoping it's sort of like friendly ribbing if not oh well oh a terrible rallying speech proes no poetry not even a little pat on the head when I left Minsk to this fate I believed I had no choice I believe it still we were ignorant of our enemy unarmed against the cult I made the right decision but I do not like how easily I made it Minsk would have never left me behind no matter what happened that's true that is his problem entire the past Century left mints unchanged andely G is the biggest Boomer of them all has never changed that I have not you saw the fool hanging on the doppelgangers every word for no other reason than it wears my face call other way controlling people yeah they probably no need for Minsk he's pretty dumb don't have to explain to here word for a friend it's not a crime yeah there we go no but snotting into my sleeve while there is still work to do she's a great character this is like like they made they did jira so well in this game let's see what she's better than she is and bother to get one and two that's that's hard to do like you know coming up with a game later um hey there's our magic mirror kind of feel like I'm just going to go and take a long rest here we're not that low on resources but again who cares all right let's see if anyone wants to have a chat Clara oh from Quebec hey uh all right it's going to do the stupid thing so this still hasn't been fixed where it like comes out more with more reasonable numbers there we go like Auto split Stacks or anything whoa oh it did do the full sleeper right away H okay [Music] so execute it on tomorrow yeah it's okay so we're just sleeping it's fine there might be a time thing but so lots of reasons to go to the sewers I suppose but I'm still thinking like I kind of want to go and kill [Music] Gort loric is indeed time based we don't know where she is though where they are I don't know if it's a here or she a warm Rock's prison um I have no idea where that is L one has been counting down for a few long rests now all right tell you what since it is it's a little time sensitive I mean I kind of want to focus on the main thing but where where should I go for this the prisons below Gort all right so that's very convenient so I guess it's in worms Crossing is the big keep right we're going to have to rebuff once we get all together as well so worms cross ing kill gash go down to the dungeons free the counselor you know if we get there in time priorities okay so I have to remember how we were doing this um this is no that's Misty step I won't let anything happen to you that's haste isn't it a boot oh yeah right there Freedom Movement right I have all my my pre-buff down here so I don't think I need it on you because you have a ring of free action yes I do need to buff everyone else I also want to get my my minion out um that's the wrong person that's why I can't find it HRA Elemental is this how I was getting the Meridan yes water Meridan go if I want to summon us right there doesn't make any sense so freedom of movement on Dell oh wait can I do [Music] the doesn't Grant additional benefits okay break they didn't actually finish the cast right okay no there it is or had I no Stan carlac I want to speak with animals I'm in a ritual cast long Strider you're too far that's can I move noing in the gut do that then I'm going to have to scooch up and longer the mirid d squat it time they go was coming I don't remember if anyone else has got pre-cast and they do I suppose I may as well have her cast a shield of faith we don't have the linked Rings Shields anymore we're not we're not doing that I don't think so I'm going to Shield the faith Dell she loves him and I think that's it for a prep unless we want to drink some Elixir and things but I'm not sure problem started five playthroughs never been yeah wife I've started a lot too okay so there's the Fortress there's the free counselor find the entrance to answers layer oh my God that's right also hold on I just did all this should we have will with us I mean he kind of hates Gort a patron confuses is me for a member of star we drop a stum who doesn't hate Gort carlac is the one that really hates Gort you're right I was thinking maybe for the counselor but the uh the the worm thing like the this answer thing I think yeah that's blade of Frontiers that's specifically Will's Quest we'll have to do that with him cuz that's to like waken the dragon to protect balers gate or whatever the crap hey did we [Music] never [Music] did we not come through here before I want to have a word you're good to go okay so lower the bridge I'm with you then yeah we talked our way through [Music] this pissed Gort off so he shut the bridge all right I mean I guess that makes keep your hands to yourself you're being watched I know I clicked that but then I clicked away to do something else and it was too far away to loot anyway go the other way from balers gate oh all right let's try I guess they were keeping the bridge up for people in general so it kind of makes sense that they they put it back up that was their default they' put it down temporarily I guess for although I don't know maybe it'll be sealed from the other side too cuz I know we can like we can do teleports and jumps to get down um is it over at the basis gate that's the other way in it might be yeah I think that's where we came in first for Bal gate not the one called Boulder's Gate itself this there's a little Quest next to us speak to Laura at Basil's gate oh yeah because they got a child kidnap where's are you in here and only way [Music] to are you on the level above Braven guard like right [Music] here what's up these stairs over different this Quest marker oh that is a different one okay Lor's I'm going the right way for it though yeah these don't hover over on the mini map which is annoying you remember yes there it is I mean no I I mean are you drunk 192 hit points of course not simply tell me why you're here cool hair how many times do I need to say it you sent words about a lead said that I should come see you about it of course Madam let me just oh CLA oh got you in the Civ 6 so good when does Civ 7 come out why are you here is this some kind of sick joke do you have any idea what I've been through these past few days yeah so we've heard about this you're Laura right and your child is missing yes her name is vanra stupid useless fist said she had to leave I serve the Flaming fist no they're not very useful that's true Madam tell me you said oh she's wormed isn't she taken from a Tavern yes the blushing mermaids down by the you aund times why aren't you dominated Charmed typical fist they never listen you know what that's what I want to say I am listening guy on cetta almost up 200 for daily drawings I know right this lady can tell me why she's here what is happening I feel like I'm going bad yeah this short-term memory loss that the fist is having is kind of a problem uh is that the lead I have from the h stuff it also makes sense my might be controlling the fist here hey what forget the fist just tell me everything you know her name is vanra she's seven years old and it's right there like me we were in the blushing mermaid when she was taken just stop by the docks what is anyone else with you no unless you count a couple of old drinking mates at the next table blushing mermaid the brothel they barely remember their own names just one of the pubs I swear I stop in the maid for a drink sometimes but it was only a quick one there must have been Witnesses of course the front of house B and ganet was there and the owner of the bless what's the brothel called can't remember we have been a while a finger to help me look was awful all right I'll head over you I'll head home can't stum kind of want to talk to the fist though figure out what befuddled her moment you hear anything chus is caress thank you so listen Liara Commander poer acting Marshal of the Fist if you have a crime to report please wait outside if you have a crime to report report a crime oh nothing all right something's on my mind your tools were stolen right no you were moked wait oh everyone in here is befuddled listen I'm terribly sorry I'll I mean maybe they have worms eating their brains been there oh prison entrance you know what let's sa turn into the prison shall we maybe we can find the council this way but we got some XP okay oh this is probably where we get arrested if we get caught for a crime and then we can make our way out oil alcohol on the floor uh-huh yeah it might not be the dun this is maybe not the dungeon Merc okay nothing for you I don't think there's going to be don't go looking for yeah nothing from [Music] you Skittles is the rat no I can't talk to you I mean I can but you're too far away what's that whole manhole this is probably so I'm assuming if I turn into a small shape I could crawl through there and maybe use this to escape hold on before I click on the manhole hit latrine which might be another way to escape we're back in the sewers D drown explore the basement yep okay I'm just going to go back upstairs character's brains full of worms or not yeah I mean everyone in my party has one and then Dell has like 15 seems simple enough please brainwashed by the government I forgot to spin foil hats that'll learn them all right I would still like to go into the um keep itself [Music] Wow have we not explored this whole area here will after you turn your animal it returns to worm Crossing D has more worms and brains at this point yep sounds about right oh I don't know my shoulders are really stiff today too much time on the computer probably I mean what a crazy suggestion the worm loves us yes with haste those aren't actual interactable doors oh shoot hold on whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa all right people be [Music] mad uh what's the stealth C and then shift C for everyone yep okay should we let carlac come in like the big damn hero no Del Del's the leader so he's going to do it I'm going to dealth him we'll walk in and'll start the encounter there you go and what can happen if others will be able to join in at their Leisure although it would have been nice to may be like pre-cast but like our the thing I'm going with here is our characters can't actually see the little red circles underneath people's feet so they didn't realize they were going to be hostile right away now we know get a little closer while still being undetectable now in normal range yeah although hang on this person is clearly a Caster do I really have an angle here here let's give someone a surprise oh no he's moving fudge well maybe I guess hopefully he's still got his attack off properly well anyway now that we're here use your bonus action to do that counter spelling okay counter spelled my hex [Music] sure yeah no just shoot her we out of actions I could still move hold on what comes now now carlac can't rage out of combat so I actually with carlac I probably well there's not much of a choice we're going to break the thing regardless so I'm going to walk in break the stealth and then she'll be able to rage and attack on her turn see I guess with the bright light I think the M stealth is autof failing instantly and that's all right d you haven't acted yet still breathing despite everything let's get back over to [Music] Carly frenzy definitely want to make sure we finish this person off down the hatch okay pulled a lot of extra people in combat that's fine you got good AC we will have Advantage though so reckless ATT attack go go go some more action surge all right you already used your bonus action raging so broke that cool can't reach back here can I no even with haste there's a limit to how far we can move in one turn all right these flaming fists are definitely have a mad day I would feel a little guilty if they hadn't like like pulled their weapons nothing will stand in my I mean they didn't attack me first but they were pulling my their weapons and we obviously about to [Music] so you blew up the steel Watcher Factory this area is now no one allowed it say no regrets okay A little bit of regrets that we didn't actually manage to save all the workers sneaky sneaky hiya all right oh did you roll a bad initiative so you're not getting to continue right away okay that's fine C let's see aerion you could action surge currently but I'm not sure that's worthwhile doing I think we'll just move up a little closer next turn we can start the turn by doing a hide um bonus Action Moving Out although then I won't be able to Hunter m still Yes here I'm going to go with plan move to here anyway don't action Serge right now we probably we can save that I think it was still okay with carlac you know make sure we got some good um you know really good like initiative and just snowball be great if Dell could finish this person off but I don't think that's going to be an option unfortunately and he's not Circle the moon so he doesn't get the wild shape as a uh bonus action and and I guess mostly we want to make sure he doesn't get randomly hit and then break carlac um haste so let's do that you teleport as far forward as you can finish this guy nice poor little us I keep summoning them but they really have like no hope of like they never get anywhere in time oh being flanked by some somewhere yep oh it's a whole room full of people you know we probably could have come in from the prison if I had like where the bridge was raised if I had just um uh jumped down from there which we could have with like the uh the long jump spell maybe some featherfall stuff we could have maybe come in in a sneakier way but you know what this is fine oh hello fire Alem all right I guess we caught some of these people out of their armor I can't get to this guy which is too bad I mean I could have done some Misty steps Stu but this is fine okay proos to worm's Rock what happens next may shock you every time I see mubot in my mind instantly goes Master Ryan oo like a proper redo remaster sequel to M I guess like the the Master of Orion that came out a few years ago not master Ryan 3 obviously cuz that thing was tragic and horrible we don't want to talk about it but the other one was actually a pretty fair remake of Master Ryan 2 I feel like couple of things were tweaked I actually didn't mind the um the change from the Star systems in MO in the the Remake from being a single point to being sort of a multi-point thing M three there's a lot of things I did like about it and then there was a lot of things that were just just tragic okay this guy here is breaking up our initiative which is a little Annoying I think Dell can probably just shape shift right now actually yeah I think I like it and we are going to keep using our Al bear form which is lovely cuz he's just maintaining concentration on haste and then I can use my bonus action to do my Al bear leap thing which I'm going to have to try to help out a Starion here I'm a little annoyed by it but he's completely pinned in there's a lot of bad guys in hindsight haste wouldn't have been the most powerful um concentration spell Dell could have used uh the ideal would have been something to do some area lock down over here but we didn't know how many targets we're going to have to deal with it yet
