I HAVE THE ETIQUETTE OF STIFF AND THE PERSONALITY OF A GIANT CUNT.

Wands, fireballs... Stinking clouds.

The most difficult fight for me was always the one on top of the ship on the werewolf island. Close quarters, resistant enemies. gently caress that.

About the actual recording, it really does seem that Bacter has gotten much better at controlling his part of the party! Congratulations on that, and also ditching Edwin. Now, if you could just get the best duo, Kivan and Viconia, into the party...

Also, if I may make a (VERY advance) request? Please rob the cellar in the Ducal Palace. Surprisingly few LPs actually do that (Hammer Floyd's in the LP archive, for example, didn't, and neither did the crazy one with all the mods.).

Use 1 potion of absorption per party member. Complete immunity to lightning makes the thing a cakewalk.

Arf!
I've been rewatching the Amulets & Armor LP and I noticed this line in the second update "Bacter abandons me to fulfill his dream of being a cherry farmer."

The way Khalid left the party sounds like a callback to this, even if unintentional. :D

I seem to recall beating that with a few fully charged wands of fireballs.

Give all your fighters 2 explosive arrows each. One mage a wand of fireball, one summoning.

That setup will punk any numbers fight in the game.

The lightning doesn't shoot if you follow chess movement rules, as far as I know.

I'm afraid so.

It's a little fiddlier than that I'm afraid. I'll go over it once we get there assuming the thread hasn't beat me to it. We've recorded the next episode, and I'll be editing it over the next couple days. For those of you who have played the game before, time to take bets: Do you think Melicamp makes it?

Mellicamp will be fine. It'll be fine. He'll make it.

If the ironman thread is any clue, Mellicamp has clucked his last.

Oh no. I bought this thing and started playing along, and the chicken's, uh...goose? is cooked. It took me waaaaaay too many reloads to finish that quest right.

I don't know, looking at the tally in the ironman thread it's a little bit different then 50/50.

I was curious so I just did a quick Ctrl-F through both threads for "Meli" and "Chic":

Melican :) - 5
Melican't :( - 11
Meli-dropped-as-treasure-by-the-protagonist-for-Sarevok - 1

Even though I want to vote the longshot of Melicamp becomes loot for Sarevok, I have to go with the hope that Bactorc can do what I couldn't these last runs. Melicamp lives.

Just caught up with the videos and Edwin storming off the wrong way at the end of the last chapter was brilliant.

I've never played this before despite having it on the iPad for months and you showing off the hidden secrets and obscure stuff is really good. So good that I've actually started playing the thing now.
