The Saga of Delarius - 16 - A Baldur's Gate 3 Adventure

welcome back to more Baldur's Gate three and The Saga of as well so last time when we left off uh we're we're here in the in the moon tower moonrise Tower uh here to kill dude big bad guy oh they have Invasion plans for balder's gate I should probably read those at the Baldur's Gate depicting upper City lower City outer city as far as worms Crossing as well as gray Harbor and the near course of the coin thar arrows show the intended progress of armies of the absolute the weak points in the city defenses marked with X I should probably take those there we go they don't roll up or anything they just go in my pocket like that what's up Ezekiel I'm doing pretty all right today got a good workout in what you've got corpse money and a heart wow this is the first body I found with a heart how did the rest of them work then again this one also didn't have a skull so hey Lanny there's that Conrad the blue thing of the second month of support this one had a heart too wow I wonder the crazy Necromancer guy wanted them there's some sort of puzzle with these bookshelves don't know in what order I'm supposed to like pull these but there's definitely an order to it which means it's got to make sense somehow there's got to be a clue or something written down around here clue within the things I've already read balthazar's Notes too wait a minute is this mention a book stall drain and libraries conventional medicine shelf medicine shelf nah this is like a book number one maybe a book number three or four maybe I'm onto something now mcluby I Gambit uh though crude and a bit dim are valuable because they are adaptable and can be fitted into a number of different military rules excelling as archery skirmishers and Ward Cavalry Scouts if rigorously drilled some can function as disciplined phalanxes armed with half Pikes and even the ones who can't be trained to march in Step can serve as Prime catapult fodder oh that's good yeah they do serve multiple purposes man goblins are great key to protruding the tribe profound respect for their Priestess who had the tribe warships all car all conquering mcglobian therefore the high priestess High Priests of the seven tribes of the Southwest sword Coast be invited to a grand Council a feast where they will be well fed well fattened well flattered and well lubricated with jugs of plonk laced laced with mild paralytic okay priest will awaken with a new guest in their crania ah okay now I feel a little bit bad about killing her she just like Had a Brain slug inserted in her song with the globe good question how about over here well personal notes number three new copy of Swift death for the library current volume badly scorched problem is I think I already plucked these books yeah I don't know if I'm gonna be able to solve this one if that's the key which I think it might be I think that might actually be the key oh well whatever's back there can't be that cool again I'm clearly the enemy of everything on this floor I don't know what it expects to uh like obviously I'm Gonna Break The Rules here I don't care if that lock is red foreign okay just a skeleton on a table Invasion plan rich and fertile land uh is that really the best way to get to that shadow heart ancient map depicts the surrounding area moonrise Towers in detail depicting a profusion of local fauna rabbit steers black bears and Flora with special emphasis placed on areas for prolific foraging okay yeah I guess a lot would go into uh actual battle plans huh like a plan for campaign like a campaign map of Sword coasts uh sea of moving ICE down just to the north of um including several near archipelagos in the sea of Swords large red arrow stretches from the East then branches into normal uh numerous small arrows Fanning out across the land to signify the absolute plant Conquest all right I'll take that too never know could oh more Invasion plans map of el tour guard entering from the city of El Torell and showing the nearby towns of Tyrell scorn Noble and burdusk a series of concentric lines around the city with all avenues of Escape blocked off plans for a Siege okay well we'll take that too just in case just in case they don't know anything about it you know could come in handy the military plans of your enemies hello Elder brain domination confidential dictated to Scribe yanthus by General kethrick young gutash's plan to enslave an illith elder brain and make it our marionette under control of the crown of karsus has proceeded without almost without flaw barring the slight delay while our allies sort out their leadership conflict the weak point must surely be the sharing of the nether Stones it was necessary to secure my engagement and that of the murder cults that of the murder cult to eventually but eventually it's certain to fracture our fragile Alliance he calls it a murder cult the dude's blunt clearly all three nether Stones must be controlled by a single leader Me by preference but not until after all the stakeholders have made their essential contribution gortash fears that energized uh by the dark energies of the crown the brain We Now call the absolute will eventually metamorphose into something new and more difficult to control if he's right the need to invest the power of the nether stones in a single wielder is urgent even more so in that uh even more so in that envirgortash at least must be thinking the same way even more so in the Denver gortash at least must be thinking the same way gotcha okay so there are nether Stones three of them gotta control them then we might be able to beat the brain gotcha take the absolute is an elder brain yes I kind of figured as much honestly like I didn't expect it to be just some like random chaos God because isn't that what never the [ __ ] the Goblins worship mcglobiak or something cloak of Elemental absorption absorb Elemental damage once per short rest take half damage from the next Elemental attack targeting you and deal an additional 1d6 of that element type on your next attack interesting carlak you're usually up in the front and a letter to kathrick my darling husband I know my time is Drawing Near I don't want to leave you I don't want to leave our little girl but I'm not writing to lament our lot it's ours and no others though the city of judgment is dark I know our lady's light will find me even there I will see her shining spiers and walk the silver Gardens we've both dreamed of I go to my reward and leave quite a task to you yet my heart saloon's light shines bright on our little one but she will need a guide to keep to her path I have no doubt that she will keep you on yours it is the same path our lady's path and one day I know it will bring you both back to me not only uh only not too soon I hope I won't say goodbye there is no loss only temporary separation how I love you forever melodia okay very deeply no accounting for Taste oh [ __ ] burned him so yeah that uh priest in town that we met the one that blessed us that's his daughter right like the only answer [ __ ] is this ceremonial [ __ ] twiddles fingers 30. what's in the fancy okay really let the place go whose room is this this must be her like this must be okay this is obviously the master obviously would they house their daughter this close to them I don't know how big this place is I mean I guess it's just a tower so maybe oh she had a guardian mimic I'm not gonna waste a spell on a level three mimic unless everything here is a mimic that would stop [Music] ready for this I'm not gonna rage but I will recklessly attack not worth getting mad over just a mimic sandals stained letter my darling daughter up Yep this is her room when you were a little girl I would often watch you play with your dolls and your cousins and picture myself a enormous opaque opaque silvery Shield surrounding you thank you uh protecting you I knew somehow deep within myself that no harm could ever befall you because I would not let it though the healers say I may pass into the city of judgment soon know this darling daughter I am always around you I am always with you and the mood Maiden will never allow you to Bear a burden you cannot carry I love you forever a love that has no death that's sad I'll bring that letter back to her she'll probably want it also I gotta ask her what having a pet mimics like that's kind of cool there's no time to waste let's see what my touch can do foreign I don't know why I'm doing all this like lock pick and I guess it's good for XP which way up this way up that's a piece that looks like Guppies that's pretty uppies very funny pass those to carlak there they are potions of Greater healing let's see what does everybody have short years by type two that'd be really nice she has two greater healings somehow none she has two regular healing potions all right I'm gonna drop these over here split them there we go that seems fair I'm a good boss [Music] my face protects me you drink one of those headshot you drink one of them I just want everybody going in relatively refreshed oh hey what's up what have you done huh what have you done to me JK Simmons no he sounds a lot like him like that like that guy could probably be a sound alike surrender now consider letting you live melodia wanted you uh wanted more for you kathrick stop and you may redeem yourself yet ooh bring his wife into this [ __ ] and guess what we're friends now [ __ ] that is JK Simmons oh [ __ ] there is no Redemption can't you see it is too late oh yeah that definitely is it even looks a little like him all I've done she'd know she'd know her husband died long ago with Isabel unlike Isabelle he could not be brought back okay well I tried continue the spectacle of violence to what end this is no no spectacle this is Pam Twitchy thing for the 100 Bitties man my love my luck and then my beautiful daughter my life was forfeit gone finished and when I tried to buy it back it cost me everything we are copper pieces in their belts tokens to be treated for scraps who have beaten me true soul but the gods beat me first so you're saying I'm like a god I can help you if you let me it's not too late Kathryn your story doesn't end here come quietly and you'll be spared it's not too late your story doesn't end here or maybe it does maybe it does you know what the crazy [ __ ] angel might end it has come and her sword is my sword okay this isn't for me to interfere with I'm just gonna I was hoping you'd come free from your shackles free from the pets you sicked on me for a hundred years do I frighten you oh yeah this is her story not anymore let us finish this I have a price to pay for my power it will cost me your life for my own I have already paid you have one last chance to bow once it's gone I'll have no choice but to destroy you both okay you know the dude said he [ __ ] prison [Music] bow before me if you if you will not bow you will break he will crumble at the power of your touch give him all you have the gods fight at our side okay I guess we're still fighting really felt like we had a we had a nice talk for a little bit really really felt The Vibes go in there you know like it's not too late let's talk about your wife man you know we you know it was chill a little for a bit I thought we had something thought we had a rapport going turns out now angle the camera a little better but shoot that Skellington ha scared the Skellington remind me if you I'll find a better bow eventually I bet I feel I feel like she is going to whoop his ass I don't know how much I'm needed here one day I'll catch a break so I'm gonna help destroy some ads what spells do I got hexing him worth it what do I want him to fail at wait who the [ __ ] are you ah yeah he's a bit stronger are of haste he's still my friend ah its name is squire let's see what would be the best thing to make him like fail a save at what is he bad at what is he good at figured he'd be strong he seems like a paladin an undead Paladin maybe a fighter I don't know might not even have a class not resistant to anything I don't have anything that requires Charisma saves I have more things that require s con save strength save actually should probably be decks not enough movement now he's in range what do you mean come on all right whatever okay let's go time remember what you trained for [ __ ] Roar me a [ __ ] oh victory my path be true God damn it I keep accidentally going just a little too sure like little too far with that I guess I can shoot hey up there she goes Jesus all right lady why charm an enemy that attacks you preventing them from attacking you until their next turn well they won't attack me this turn what that's kind of a stupid charm it's only really useful against somebody with multi-attack foreign oh you're one of those psionic backlash oh my brain wow he [ __ ] how do you miss [Music] Jesus Dame Aylen what the [ __ ] you're getting rocked by the squire yeah she got [ __ ] up dude ow my parking you guiding Bolt 15 Jesus okay 28 with advantage yo cam Twitchy thank our biddies just watch your Vegeta's sacrifice it was beautiful oh hell yeah I'm glad we dry I forgot that we dropped that today all right definitely need to protect the [ __ ] angel real quick uh because she is not having a good time probably don't want to stand directly in the Moonlight though also he'll probably beat the [ __ ] out of me if I do this but it's pretty cool if I do it's Alex what's up [ __ ] carlaxia [ __ ] she'll give [ __ ] how high your defenses ow apparently punching him is not good for you how'd you live what what [Music] disarming attack let's go drop your weapon enough my Lord beckons me you must return to your prison and my daughter must be reclaimed you dude whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa he's got tentacle hammers uh uh tentacle was colossal how can such a thing be possible did he drop his weapon because of my disarm attack I think he saved on that did he also disappear to the tentacle just a little confused and lost and that that a lot happened there yeah I remember it was like what hey don't bite karlak bad dog bad doggy I don't want to counter spell that seems like a waste that wait why did I do that voicing and Undead is pointless boom Oh [ __ ] one lived say bye bye oh [ __ ] butterflies [Music] probably could have done that with anything probably didn't need to waste a level one spell but whatever I was gonna stand over here real quick and just go zap zap can't believe I missed now this is my happy place Jimmy on the go foreign 's pretty awesome stop stepping in the butterflies no choice but to follow yeah follow how exactly we just go out and like high five the tentacle I don't know a long way to go straight now what's in here that'd be something good dude was sitting right next to it oh hell no thank you for the raid hope you had a good stream dude exhort the Risen what is that uh uh subjugate the undead with your commands Okay ghoulish touch lashes out with a deadly claws to possibly paralyze the target interesting that actually makes sense for shadow heart to wear which ring do I get rid of probably pass without Trace yeah for the cool new goth ring yeah yeah oh hey how you doing I thought you were staying downstairs before he has a chance to subdue the Night song again you and your Harpers aren't coming Army catch wind of our assault if you have room for one lone soldier I would face ketherick by your side who's most injured honestly I look you're probably really cool but like I trust my ladies you know do you know what to expect when we find him [Music] we will work out the details as they rear their ugly heads do you really think your shoulders can soldiers can hold out they won't if it doesn't well they are Harpers being outnumbered is part of the job together he can rob his army of their reason to fight the better join me you have numbers enough already I think you'll want a small Force if you are to finish this quickly you know a fifth person wouldn't be that bad I well whatever the whole yawns back at you impossibly wide a single tentacle burrowed through Stone gross this isn't a lifted Colony growth Harvest that had close to the source of the infections wait so I can get like unlimited free tadpoles here that's pretty cool what's in the viscera nothing ow you hurt my house tread carefully we are very close to the source of the absolute now yeah we are telepathic storm has become a tempest okay they aren't hostile yet I wonder what they have to say and how they're not attacking cool hey chop no Will Sparks behind his eyes hollowed out to better Echo the commands of the collective a cake throw the only way to save it is to kill it you could kill it and it's miserable life of enslavement surely that would be the Humane thing to do hell no think of the 200 Bitties advantage of its vulnerability and plunder what's left of its Hollow mind oh I could do that blind as well worn because his mind turns to his work chop cut salt shiver of impact crack a bone he removes the brains digs free the squirming tadpoles the Unworthy ones given over to the Olympics to become what part of one mind little feet ah okay dancing same with alert you realize he means the intellect of ours here the brains are harvested made part of the hive mind but there is one little kitty dancers to another song same song as you is it my is it my friend at intellect of hour the first one I met where can I find this located hey lannies it is think of the 73 months of tier 2 support hot damn happy landiversary dude become a God for me and rule over all the weak I'm working on it uh we're okay uh Bad Kitty thinks it is other I need to find your master Catholic well okay okay okay one of three where is he down deep he's below us okay I feel like attacking him will make all of the intellect of hours attack us but I feel like they're gonna hate me anyway oh oh he's down for it all right okay there's a Fair few of them chilling around here no chop come back I need to like mercy kill you real quick I'm gonna notice turned in kind hey you wanted this time for jump six to eleven six to nine nice I think just shoot them regular I don't got any rages left this is gonna be tough luckily she still has a really good weapon I lost [Music] unfortunately fortunately I did have to recklessly attack interrupted foreign that's enough hey what happened what happened what happened what happened come on kill the cake good work what are my can trips about I made touch spells open up gummy you oh good levels up level ups are actually kind of good here there's the kitty it's us it is US Tactical there's the other one oh there it is oh slam no one stopped me yet I'm gonna be shy foreign to strike Swift and true when you land a critical hit you roll an extra damage die as well as the normal additional critical dice oh wow that's pretty slick foreign [Music] class feature indomitable you have become durable as an iron golem whenever you fail a saving throw you can roll it again using the new result instead that's nice okay good fighter what's up Blake Jay still alive still alive we do let's go check on us yeah hey you saved us once perhaps you can do it again yeah you're looking a little green in the gills oh poor baby [Music] yeah you're gonna have so much fun you get to meet scratch I need to pick that lock good work Shadow heart s [Music] better to stay together you and us we yeah we will remain with you and we will be at your side oh yay brain puppy just wanna make sure who received it I like all the bubble sounds and these things have stayed interesting there it is summons uh summon us I somehow doubt the Golem Bell will ever work again man this place sucks I need to find a way forward well I guess this Hive bind isn't that connected series of dots and broken lines entries in a language you cannot read and yet you sense their meaning nonetheless a blur of noise and pain filtered through you mind uh shut up blur of noise and pain filtered through a newly Born High mind staggered flesh pool Elder wakes Elder births Anew but all is not right down in the darkness where the Elder stirs something else moves too three shining lights that taste of pain seems I can understand yay I can read I can read their weird Wiggles fractured reports from other colonies scattered through the underdark one in particular tells an uprising slaves Breaking Free from their fighting piss to swarm over watching illitids is probably the GIF Yankee right like they were really about that [ __ ] we will take the city Every Soul made true mind players and civilians side by side this must be where they infect and transform those they kidnap oh that's not good let's examine some of these things huh and a chorus of static energy fills your mind every mind flare in the room calls out hungrily from its pod seeking release and students but there are others in the pots those not yet infected not yet a lithid terrified desperate to escape oh the device is open to your tadpoles command to your Authority good machinery cold is the sea of night alien is time to the astral plane virtual eyes close your mind trying to see like because release to me sounds like release the hungry ones Purge sounds like open all of them that would just be [ __ ] chaos but from the illith this point of view would purge mean get rid of the uninfected hmm no release okay I guess both were both are you guys in for an interesting day oh I do not look forward to fighting these first of all definitely gotta get out of a group fighting mind flares as a group is a bad idea I've thrown enough mind flares at my players to know that thank you hmm it's a bonus action huh oh no I can't use it huh it's already half gotcha that's all right yeah I figured all right well worth a shot over here maybe where it's like somewhat semi-obscure all right well uh threatened now gotcha beating up man I was really hoping you'd gain a rage back from that level up oh let's go big boy lead [ __ ] well so much for peace use all my spells so that's fun I'm gonna need to give that to karlak if we survive this when we survive this of course I think it's speed potion time 13 to 23 yeah I think it's time we get up close and personal with you what up I mean hi well yeah who wants to go fight some gay you want to fight some cake I bet you do this is like your people's bread and butter right so yeah you really hate him well good luck everybody hey you guys being able to fight those is great levitate what are you doing what you up to what are you at oh that's not good nah I need to race car last AC now you all charm wow damn it that Varian think of the hundred bitties oh good job good job zevolor that's why you yeah that's that's way better never mind indomitable she'll blow foreign I can't even catch my breath I could do this all day let's see uh Contra US is an action man [Music] [Applause] really knocked the [ __ ] out of him God damn I think we just kill one Bonk on the head ow [ __ ] damn it that's now [ __ ] [Music] oh man he like gets up like Nosferatu well he doesn't give it like they give zero shits about these other people I'm shocked I thought they'd go for the easy meal I'm an ass whoops wrong way survival is all that matters done finger bang where's that one it's over there it's on my way okay how about I just hit it there I didn't think I was going to make it thank you hey Lanny for the 24 months much more than that but first please the others the ambush tell me they survived I haven't seen any of them yet honestly I can't tell you like I honestly do not know I have not seen them I see we were ambushed by cultists yes and then I heard her they're false God whispering promises in my mind I would be a paladin again with a God's purpose a God's power everything I needed to protect my and all the while the cult tortured them a little bit of a glitch and ran and died around me while I imagined myself their Savior by the time I regained my senses it was too late I did not just surrender to the absolute for a moment I welcomed it if you wanted for power you never needed a God only to live up to your ideal Until you realize your reward would be a tadpole it sounded like you were being enthralled it's not your fault it would be nice to think so but whatever these monsters twist us into I believe it begins in US I won't make excuses I can't make amends but I know something of what you came to do I want to help if you let me Catholic is below he thinks you're no longer a menace descend and show him how what he is if there are any more survivors that [ __ ] been talking [ __ ] and lead them out of this place I was slapping the taste out of his mouth what does he mean no longer a menace I'm blowing up his entire [ __ ] operation now JK Simmons or not find your people they need you they have you well go my friend please let me do this mother oh boy we got our asses crushed uh I'm gonna level up see what power I gain oh my God I gained a spell do I get another spell slot that'd be pretty sick another Eldritch invocation Contra Elemental with a warlock spell slot don't like using spell slots confusion polymorph with a spell slot with a spell slot with a spell slot without a spell slot cast false life at will as a level one spell without expanding a spell slot false life grants you seven temporary hit points probably not that useful this guy itself without a spell I have an item for that one with the Shadows what is one with the Shadows again banish into the darkness and become invisible as long as you stand still once per long rest you can cast Bane as a warlock spell slot Bane targets three creatures they receive 1d4 penalty on attack rolls and same with us okay these are all kinda I guess I took the really good ones I got that for free they don't require uh they don't expend any spells last one cast okay that's kind of neat that could be really useful of course then I could talk to scratch [ __ ] it I'm taking B speech I know I have car lack but oh wait I haven't added my spell yet dominate person ooh level five spells hold monster paralyze a creature it can't move uh act or react attacks within three meters are always Critical Hits telekinesis throw a creature object up to 18 meters with a thought once per turn you can use hold on telekinesis again without expending a spell slot heavier items deal more damage interesting with mind bullets it's another concentration spell though God damn why do warlocks have so many concentration spells concentration on telekinesis for the recast yeah I figured as much but make a humanoid fight alongside you every time the creature takes damage it makes a wisdom saving throw against your domination this one does seem the most fun and possibly in character hey do any of you have items on you that you might want to sell breathing quite everything oh good I did get both of my spell slots back that's actually really nice [Music] class features uh Channel Divinity chart just one you gain the ability to channel Divine energy starting with two effects turn Undead and in effect determined by your domain Replenish by short rest or long rest gain one level three spell slots which are restored on a long rest excellent excellent yeah that's good I like that okay somebody get those spell slots back I okay I got one of them back that's cool not gonna argue uh tab I think I want to give that Angelic Slumber to Carlock so she can get her rages back together and heal ing would also be good the girl equipped that what does this give you an enemy damage is where gains wrath for one turn and whatever no no no no no no no not you not you what did I have you in that one there wear that instead looks better on you you're proficient with this not proficient in heavy armor damn how about medium armor are you good with medium armor I see 16. you see 13. AC 14. nice there we go boost her up a little yeah I need her to get her rages back is that blood no never mind hmm I'm gonna give everybody just one of these real quick 3d8 healing breathe deep and move prepare the March I'm working on that oh to the Mind flares have anything on them Cloud giant finger where did you get that oh yeah I guess these things would have alchemical ingredients huh this one didn't have a brain okay what's in this one brine pools but empty of tadpoles by crazy [ __ ] it's about time you came oh hey here's all the talks about zario's asset I should have known you were lying true no enough sniffing around and get me out of this thing they captured a full-blown devil and I'll let will off his leash a devil always keeps her promises your eyes turn to the control panel next to the pod it has two devices marked with a lithid symbols no con read the blue thing from the five dollar donut to your Authority I have authority symbol's meaning comes into Focus annihilate okay okay the button symbol means nothing to you oh well it could mean anything do I kill her or no I'm sorry do I annihilate her or hmm I'm in the Stream Lanny hope your little baby's still enjoying the little snooze I bet they are I must have woken them by now with my yelling you see the the device on anything like device on the like you know annihilate there's only one option right but the device on the right could be anything um or I could just smack it and I'm not very strong [ __ ] it I'll let her out what if the other one was like lobotomized or something good work I'd give you a gold star but I'm fresh out that Emmy little do as for The Pact said section 13 if the soul binder consents to separation she will release the sole Bearer from all obligation within six months six months long dead before that non-selapsed ignorant thing it's always the terms and conditions that get you okay so the wheels packed or I'll sever your head no I'm not that down for will but I'll be like a you gotta become mad serious don't let the smile fool you right right I'm out of here I need a long bath I'll leave you to your very serious business but don't you fret if you survive this place I'll find you the pup will be needing me count on it oh and ask Will how we met I've loosened his tongue cracker of a tale all right see ya his dad's down here somewhere right like the Duke what's in the brine pool no tadpoles in this brine pool some tells me I'm wrong funny looking tat wonder what gives no more tadpoles I hope they all weren't used on people oh a tadpole thank you what do these do this place creatures suffering falling damage because of your actions take an additional 1d8 psychic damage versus Repulsor uh two D12 damage Force push anything and anyone back six meters on Save Target will take half damage targets still take half damage okay so it's a force push I'll take this place for now because I already have something that pushes I have a few things to push yeah all right yeah there we go just walk right on through suspended ceramorphosis ooh this could be interesting for us ER amorphosis illithid larva transformation of a host humanoid into a mind flare typically occurs in less than a 10 day after infection but the tadpoles have shut up I'm reading uh but the tadpoles laid by our captive Elder brain are enhanced due to powerful nethery's magic of the crown of karsus our enhanced tadpoles induce on their hosts a sort of suspended seromorphosis state in which the host becomes susceptible to telepathic influence and even uh coercion from the absolute our Elder brain for our purposes there are two key aspects to this influence first the conversion of the host into a mental Lackey of the absolute occurs entirely without the host's awareness it's a civility yeah that's fine its civility feels comfortable and natural comfortable and natural and is never consciously questioned second the servile State persists even when the host is far beyond the usual range of an elder-blain set of brain psionic control the phenomenon is spectacularly useful given our ambitions Bookworm read 100 books hey I did it I'm taking that one with me and that one's evidence yeah good luck I believe in you the barracks the barracks I see this place sucks Harry Henry's Journey these sick uh slick innards and fluid Chambers how long have we been here making thralls I don't want it I don't want it any longer uh miracle is drowned down Miracle is drowned Out In My Head by my own spiral fears uh the the bone Lord doesn't want a coward none of this looks real I am in a kraken belly I am turned inside upside I am dead Miracles gray waste always sounded peaceful not like this well he had a rough time what do you have Shadow art said he calls out for salvation The Chosen all my heart Mistress of souls research log experiments of the first one day four again I have noted a fluid leakage from the oral cavity and ascertain the cause due to the unusual method of parasitic insertion the secretions of the creature within are leaking out rather than being absorbed by the brain as we noted in other thralls I cannot see [ __ ] I cannot say why the parasite is evacuating this oil uh but it has uh the scent of garlic we now know indicates it has fed on a host brain matter itself I have collected a sample of ear fluid day five vivisection day today vivisection day all right uh show no sign of pain as I was unraveling the long intestine but instead grabbed the organs as if it were a rope reach uh reach to wrap it around my neck as if to strangle me but all the strength in its poor arm is quite gone I had to uh thread the guts back into the body we'll try again another day God damn ruined vivisection day it's like pizza day at school you don't want to [ __ ] up vivisection day oh hey you're all here General Thome was attacked the order to evacuate given could not be [Music] you are one of the attackers wow good for you this is a misunderstanding I was just I was sent to support you besides we're friends right Shadow heart back me up thank you what happened the other dice I guess it doesn't matter [Music] come on make yourself useful somewhere if you cannot manage that just stay out of the way I'm sorry it's your real name bone daughter soon we marched a victory boond daughter's ready hi iron finger how are you oh I do it's real exciting huh Harry Henry I read all about you in your diary how are you doing see oh he's got great penmanship for a Hobgoblin or is he a bug bear I think he's a Hobgoblin this guy's a last name mate death claim you sue okay kind of a dick thing to say but you know you do you this is the thing I can shoot no okay it looked like one of those like kill me walls you know evacuate ah we're back

hello foreign go back and see us and see what that room's all about one day I'll catch a break out salvation what does this do it's the console bursts into life a mind touches your own alien full of desperate need but fragmented too it is incomplete it yearns to connect but needs you to guide the process linking each part of your mind to its life interesting fascinating hold up oh okay okay okay okay I see okay okay so memory can go there or there but emotion can only go there so that means memory has to go there which also means that that has to go there only path it's math reason you can go there or there the motion can only go here so that means reason has to go here which means that speech goes this way all right all right this piece of speech also has to go there foreign speech is over there in order to get there speech will have to cross through this God you have to rumble so hard Jesus I'm solving the the human mind pathway I calm down a little speech can go one of two ways from here there or there this one has to go that way mind has to go up these yeah uppy's which way up these that away he thinks yes okay sometimes memory has to go either here or here mine has to go there there the reason has to go there reason has to go there that solves that motion goes there motion can only go one more way that's there then I'm blocked off from Reese can't take that path can it not without also going down there up to there reason has to end up here is there another way it could have gone maybe half Downs that way this blank one here is throwing me for a loop good reason have gone around a different way Maybe let's retreat yeah that's a much more direct path that's much better his memory has to come back some dog what the [ __ ] was that is this thing learning oh I think I see my issue although um it's figuring out how to talk there speech there oh come on white no hook me back up still that's that's a connection okay good it didn't take away any of that thank you come up speech right there you go you now have speech emotion emotion damage there welcome boom all right let's see what's back that took me way longer than it should have but we got there okay destiny design Ed full tadpole echoes not with presents but men inged with loss hmm ons into a sudden Fury burying claws in your mind ah how rude come on just as suddenly the pain and memory are gone leaving only Stone once more okay The Grand Design it is every gift Yankee Yankee sure the gay Empire is never Reborn The Grand Design the restoration of the Mind flayer Empire the dream of all the lithids is that really what I get for uh well the blade of oppressed Souls is here too I suppose nothing blade of oppressed Souls one d10 slashing 1d4 psychic doesn't even seem that good it's like a waking mind with me I suppose okay that's all I get out of this okay all right all right same cutscene well that was neat we did all that just to solve like the for the satisfaction of solving a puzzle and get some lore come on a piece there you go good boy let's take a look at this neural apparati I'm guessing this one's an elevator and this one calls the elevator back up yep all right no no

crawls with failure like flies on liquid carrion you forget yourself Oren I have played my part who built an army for our masters true enough but what of the astral prism a rogue true Soul flaunting it under your nose all this time rap for me I probably shouldn't have walked it right into my hands here if you would cease these distractions the distractions have been yours Kathryn perhaps we never should have dug your daughter up so you haven't lost your Edge but you're still not as sharp as Oren I wager layer against the undying one that'd be fun to see hey script breath sings to my sinews again again again again cool but she seems funny he must leave the murder the murder march with the murder cult closing your fist Aaron and I can wait for you no longer the plan proceeds we're going to the city and we expect you to follow hello again Sammy and the weapon oh baby I've been hi yeah that's an elder brain all right The Testament of Merkel the held a brain one of the coolest most powerful creatures in existence enslaved by mere mortals there we are it wouldn't do to fight in front of our guests behold Duke Raven God the absolute oh [Music] you wag your word flap in vain word

go away little babies turn around and go away walk away there we go what is it I want I want draws one toward death like a moth to light ah you could have run away scounded with the prism one thing that could prevent me from fulfilling my destiny but the lore of one's Destiny is irresistible isn't it perhaps you hope to learn your place in history before you are erased from it a bright flash of clarity before the snuff real cool real cool of you snuff out your evil plot [Music] I just want to be free of my parasite bro impossible you abound to it and in death it will bind you to me [ __ ] you that is the power my Lord Merkel has granted me command over the immeasurable Legions of the Dead but he did not only give me power he gave me the one thing no other God could grant me three inches on my dick oh her heart before that he asked that I serve as his chosen join Oren and gortash to grow The Cult of the absolute and then take control of it he's never had a more devoted follower I have fought great Wars before in the service of other gods and other powers but for Merkel I would condemn all of pharoon to death brought the prison I will kill you now and then I will raise you as my servant I was ready to show you Mercy before it's not too late you can repent huh oh shadowheart ain't here would that even be possible perhaps maybe no there is no repentance my debt can never be repaid who's he he's watching listening yes bro bro bro okay these are all really cool titles hey Lanny I did no such thing he did that to himself oh that was just sitting there huh okay that's [ __ ] metal what up I guess we're well [ __ ] yeah kind of agree on that one but at least we got the angel out there is that resist necrotic resist cold resist poison okay kind of expected him to be damageable to uh you know I'm just gonna go ahead and burn a level three Guiding Light on you real quick maybe you actually it's level three Guiding Light six to 36 damage you really need to get rid

of these guys real quick okay we got rid of most of them all right let's go punch golden advice yeah cold and acid don't really do [ __ ] to him huh we'll save that then necrotic is absolutely pointless against the god of death but I love hunger I've had art so much I just want to use it all the time can't hit him can't hit him and hit them I just feel very silly right now maybe I'll just hide sneak up on him later I've got it I'm helping oh us has gotten very strong us has 41 Health now from Beyond necromancy can trip for us are we [Music] gotta deal with them they're all the way up

still hits nice oh she lost her rage attempt to beat the [ __ ] out of a geek eat [ __ ] gig I think that's still in the Hunger bone chilled is ready like a little bit of sun oh that's annoying really wish it would stop popping those up yeah path is super interrupted oh well I'll kill what I can [Music] [Music] oh it has to be within three meters can't do that I was thinking about dropping one like right in the middle of that dude but nah I'm just guiding bolt again maybe 55 chance I'll risk the level two spell on 55. [Music] wow that did less damage bad rolls now we get angry again find a route Moonlight butterflies oh [ __ ] did US die how did US die or us I just realized us is no longer in the like Roundup can I disarm this thing oh it dropped its weapon thank you what a [ __ ] idiot I'm gonna knock you over nerd or not where'd my weapon go you dick I guess it dropped into the pit [Music] cannot take me I am it's Master iron I'm sorry dude my Lord hear me your lord just popped up and we beat the [ __ ] out of him nothing I mean an aspect of them I'm guessing I'm guessing that was only like a a simulacrum you have what you've done you've done Isabel yes oh oh all right yeah I guess you go I really wanted that brain slug feel better Unleashed cool cool you have my sword then we fly this foul place good work team the chosen of Merkel is dead Catherine's netherstone it's in his armor take it yeah that's the plan oh see no savage thank you for the 15 months of prime support happy anniversary to you to your list idea for four star Bento uh I pitched tournament arcs I think there's actually a poll on the patreon for it for like people to suggest tournament arts for us to rank that was Cooling energy radiates from the stone oh hey you're in the real world truly guys this is my guardian Oompa Loompa have you met her oh the picture comes together God held here by those three against its will the crown it wears controls it and these Stones control the crown it has been dominated impressive to master an elder brain to subdue it our enemies are formidable I mean one down how's he were able to leave the astral prism now a temple temporary reprieve brain on its way weakened cool what are these the ground's marking suggested was forged in netherill an ancient empire whose Mastery over magic rivaled that of the Gods hmm it is a crown of domination the stones were taken from its Crest they are nether stones imbued with the ability to control the wearer of the crown the Crown's nethery's magic must be the true source of the parasite's abilities this must be what elevates their potential and it must be the reason nobody could heal you if the crown can do this to the parasite I dare not imagine what it is doing to the brain uh yeah Catholic transformed her in the fight what the [ __ ] was that I believe you fought and defeated an avatar of Merkel yeah the god of necromancy her remarkable feat I mean I didn't do much I just opened up the slurple's chosen he was a worshiper of Bane the god of tyranny the other is a mystery to me but the way she spoke it is most likely she follows Bal God of murder which means the absolute is a front for the gods of death and our enemies are chosen of the dead three chosen of the dead three Bane ball and Merkel the Tyrant the Assassin and The Necromancer followers are chosen granting them incredible Powers I see you be a formidable enemy well we killed one again together and controlling an elder brain I dare not imagine what they might achieve uh what do we hope to do uh what hope do we have if Gods themselves are involved no that's not something delarius would say delarius wants to be a god eventually or at least overpower the damn thing that's giving him power I didn't come here to fight Gods just want the parasite removed I know lives of everyone in faerun the army of the absolute is marching on Boulder's Gate within the city an elder brain brimming with power ready to turn everyone within its reach into mind players all it needs is an order yeah the death God's chosen are on the cusp of giving must rest control of the brain from The Chosen before that happens we take their stones our chances of success are slim but we must not fail if we fail everything ends I will be your Shield but you must be the sword and when the chance comes to strike you must take it for there may only be one chance okay well I want the rest of his [ __ ] oh that's really cool all incoming damage is reduced by two Reaper's rigidity when activated you can't be moved against your will by any spell or action you have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws disadvantage on stealth checks howl of the Dead okay lizelle you got some cool new [ __ ] coming hurricane enchantments you gain plus one to spell save DC and uh spell attack rolls cathrix hammer nothing very special about the hammer I'll pass to carlak has that to Lazelle as well thank you for the 80 Bitties man my options are fight a God or and maybe die or die that's cool that's fair yeah what's this say Papa I love you love from is oh cute I'll take that uh carlak hold on to that everything else is too heavy for me I guess our Angel left huh The Grand Design is delaria still a hex blade technically hex blades aren't a thing though admittedly I probably should have gone back to the change I rarely go melee dictated to Scribe yanthus by Inver gortash The Grand Design is the Mind flayer species-wide ambition to return to the days of their conquering greatness illusions of Madness megalomania Cosmic Crusade I know just how to turn it to our purposes we're going to help the Mind players enact The Grand Design but only by way it suits us the illith that Shall Serve their crusade to enslave we will be acting as out uh but they will in turn be acting as our slaves as we shall determine the how when and where of their great illicit outbreak to be precise I gortash will determine these things as commanding uh The Grand Design is clearly a ban banite task whatever dude's just gonna tell on himself absolute end underneath this book concerning the cult of the absolute and the dangers it presents is scrawled this response in text this hastily written dribble is admittedly well intentioned its authors clearly fizzing with fear of the absolute the problem is that they conflate the rise of the cult with other things like heat death of the universe the resurrection of One-Eyed vechna the Lich the proliferation of necromantic excess and even the withering of some imported fruits from Schult this person needs a glass of water and a light out I'll take that with us just in case somebody might find that interesting invitation to Lord gortash Lord gortash the committee of concerned Patriarchs would like to extend an invitation to a formal meeting at the high Hall to discuss plans short and long term for the economic livelihood of Baldur's Gate Tuesday the 12th noon a luncheon will be served may may we presume your attendance Lord here for real committee chair it's like his gortash hangs out here sometimes then wait why are you going

let's go I've been thinking you saw gorgeous didn't you what the [ __ ] was he doing down there it's all of this because of him seems like it the absolute how seems he's a servant of of Bane as Catholic served Merkel who knows what powers he's gained since you knew him I'd never have protected a bayonite even a decade ago I looked after that [ __ ] with my life I trusted him he gave me away to Zaria without a second thought and now he's looking to ruin the entire sword Coast he has to die and I'm gonna be the one who kills him okay I'm I'm cool with that we'll do it together whatever it takes hard to get away with what he's done to me to us he won't get away with it cool okay yeah uh that oh hey are we in Camp now Withers is here yo how you doing aylin oh you guys know each other oh

Grand Adventures were behind me that even if I survived I should hang up my blades we ventured Into Darkness together we've come out the other side I'd say I'm feeling a little refreshed when we reach falder's Gates there will be even darker paths to tread I will follow you wherever they lead okay see you at Camp how does it compare to a shadow cursed in favor of boots army gun the Risen Road should be clear we can follow it all the way to Baldur's Gate there's a Harper's Safe House in worms Crossing Dental ins dancing X we dwell to check in with them before entering the city proper beyond that our course is yours to set I can recall how to take orders as well as give them cool all right she's with us now everybody else I need to talk to I mean I guess I could talk to him but I don't really care nobody else really has a name I head out this way there's people I gotta talk to Selena wants to play Marvel vs Capcom we leave the heart of the absolute alive so you you did well to defeat katharik but Catherine was only yeah I know there are many more battles ahead and they will not be so easily won you will need allies yeah I get that I know that that's why I just recruited Jahira halson's strength and loyalty will bolster you in times of need uh-huh but if we are to succeed I get that but I really doubt I'm changing my party up very often I'll build an army to rival that of the absolute know it yet but its Fate has bound to ours purpose aligns with our own to our cause together we will put an end to the absolute the chosen all okay thank you oompa loompa lady

go let's go to camp kind of expected it to be like a party you know like we just saved everyone hey Will got something cool to tell you Godspeed ah somebody already told you gotcha full to the absolute every one of the coast cities will be right for the plucking we're not just fighting for our cure we're fighting for my father we're fighting for the gate we're fighting for all of faerun gotcha absence called has Raven guard will they take him worms Rock Fortress all travelers to Baldur's Gate flow through it it serves as headquarters for the Flaming Fist and their Commander my father the absolute zombies on the March Gods forbid a tadpole Grand Duke throw open the gates for them yeah it would be pretty bad well you know about gortash and orange I'd never heard telof but gortash I know or no of more precisely a self-styled strategic advisor to Boulder's Gates peers a bit player with dreams of a leading role the way father told it he had no use for gortash and even less for his advice I don't remember much beyond that but where these chosen are concerned I have a suspicion we're about to know more than we'd like mizora said you can stay uh you can see what led to your pact in Exile it's time I know the truth yes but first a question if your home were under siege what would you sacrifice to save it give my life wouldn't give my soul if that's what you're getting at Place could burn to a center for all I care I could never be so disloyal to Baldur's Gate well I was 17. father Raven guard had just been named a Grand Duke and was called away to El Torell to help settle a dispute that's when the cult of the Dragon made its move the Cult of the Dragon a fractured religion some Believers hold that Undead dragons will inherit the world others worship the dragon goddess Tiamat and intend to summon her to faerun hmm to what end to conjure the dragon Queen and lay waste to bold Escape yeah that'd be pretty bad one day after father left I heard a whisper as I slept duskawk Hill the queen of chaos awakens go alone but don't tell the cops it wasn't a cloud in the sky yet not a single star was shining there they were gathered at the foot of the Hill your head tingles will wants to show you what happened cool let's see looming shadow of the mount five groups of five figures each encircle a lofty totem atop each totem a dragon's head is carved and a massive orb held in its mouth the cultists chant first softly then crying to the starless sky there is a crack of thunder a gust of wind and a dragon's white head appears in a storm as the males from howls Missouri's lips pressed to your ear she will destroy all this gate grant me your soul and I will give you the power to save it and then I became a level one Warlock and I was able to beat the dragon Queen she read the terms while two Devils stood witness and I said yes one soul for one city surely she doesn't care about Baldur's Gate what would she want with it didn't she came on order of her mistress zarya Tiamat made a play for power zariel had other plans that was the most mazuras ever said all that mattered was that she got her prize another pet added to her warlock Menagerie took 25 cultists on your own I have a hard time believing that had mazura at my side and the archdevil zariel guided our hands that day I burned with the fires of awareness and oozed the rot of this the cultists choked on our poisons and burned from our flames and when we were done all that remained were five grade orbs atop a pile of Ash my soul was bowed and my lips were sealed that I lost your eye it is the one scar I ever bore of it mizora replaced it with ascending Stone she uses it to track my location and speak from a distance well I could flee to the spine of the world or the depths of the lower dark and still never shake her and what about your father the Grand Duke he returned to an unsuspecting City and a wayward son with a smirking devil at his side I tried to tell him the truth but my mouth couldn't form the words I'd led him to the battlefield but mazura had swept it clean I showed him my stone eye but he only turned away after he said only one word go so I did yeah I guess that would be awkward it was Brave what you did I don't know that it was Brave I just know that it was right I'll return is there anything else we need to go over here how's it feel being a devil it said that anyone who bathes in the river of blood emerges as one born anew it's a lot like that I imagine I feel the weight of these horns on My Head curling upwards like a mammoth's tusks I can only wear button-up shirts now snaking down my neck not to mention a few bumps and prongs in unmentionable places but I haven't seen my reflection just yet be my mirror what do you see can I can I do that Fred who's been touched by the hells I don't know what to make of it then I'll fight ever harder be ever stronger till my Deeds Eclipse my appearance the people will see a curiosity maybe even a beast hungry for their song honestly they'll probably see a teeth they're monsters safe and one day they will see the blade of Frontiers again all right cool well we got that out of the way but what we

when she died curse the day the hour we each of us mourned bitterly but catherick's pain could be touched by no Aid no boundary he turned to wretched Shah the lady of loss for relief and she whispered into his ear poisoning his mind he and his loathsome adviser Balthazar lured me into the shadowfell claimed they'd found someone in need of my Aid there they trapped me in their infernal cage I was

was hers that was it lucky for me she felt the same way my father was skeptical aylin is Immortal after all I understand it's strange there's an imbalance between us certainly but I suppose loving aylin felt the same as loving myself you're also at the very least a half elf right then and this is where I still need answers I died I'm not sure how why but all was black black next I knew I was being jolted awake I smelled musty air I saw Shadows and then my father's face so changed so hideously warped become the chosen of miracle I didn't know that then but I could see the change in him he told me we'd be together now said that aylin was dead I couldn't speak could only run I found last Light Within the Shadows made a shelter there prayed my father wouldn't find me by the time Jahira
