Nihonniboku posted:I haven't tried, but I feel like that wouldn't work. Sanctuary doesn't make you immune to damage, it just prevents enemies from directly attacking you. It was a problem for me in my first Orin fight, until I figured out that I could target the cultists with Sanctuary with AOE spells still. Yeah, the hammer is an area effect, not a targeted attack, so you will get splatted if you try this. The thing to remember about Grym's pathing is that he always moves in a straight line toward the last character that attacks him, so if you do want to get him with the hammer, you'll want to shuffle your turn order such that the last person to attack before his turn is as close to directly opposite him on the circle of the walkway as you can. Maybe cast a difficult terrain spell on the hammer dais to try to make sure he stops there.

Everything about Orin’s story is super hosed up. Did you come across the journal in the murder tribunal area that reveals that her grandfather is also her dad

I’m doing a duo Honor run with a Tav and Astarion. I decided to bring a level 1 Shadowheart down into the shadowfell because, you know, story. I had already killed Balthazar so there was no risk down there. When it came time to make her choice, I left every option up to her, and she chose, uh, poorly.

Who else likes taking the "back way" into the creche, heading south off the edge of the cliff and taking the path which dumps you out next to the magic mouth bust, bypassing gremishkas and kobolds and eagles and basically taking you straight to the creche?

Why not take the real back way, the door at the bottom of the cliff that leads straight in to the crèche by the merchant?

Did you come across the journal in the murder tribunal area that reveals that her grandfather is also her dad Somehow I either missed or mentally skipped over this. Though it makes his line about loving Orin like he loved her mother a lot more, uh, . Also now that I think about it, killing all of her supporting actors was a bit pointless since she got violently dismantled in one turn by some magic missiles and the whipped cream genocide brouhaha (mashing every Smite on your hotbar) but whatever.If I'm going to complain about anything in this game, it's that Act Three, at least so far, feels like a line of set pieces more than a cohesive thing. Mostly cool, fun set pieces, but they feel kind of disjointed as a whole, especially when a bug in a companion quest means you basically have to skip the first third of it. edit: somehow I failed to get a picture of Astarion getting dunked so hard that he half-clipped through some stairs and spent a turn flopping violently around, but I assure you it was very funny to watch.

I began sneaking my way into the goblin camp being very careful to observe the patrol routes, but then one of my idiot children wandered into plain view and... nothing happened. The goblins and their colleagues don't aggro... yet. So I've been wandering around chatting to a variety of creeps, one of whom has taken possession of the baby owlbear I spared way back when. I'm going to keep poking about since no one seems to mind, but I guess some people just kill their way through the whole place.

Continuing our adventures... Episodeon CXV: The Gang Goes To Hell    crap, I should have brought Minthara along for that fight shouldn't I? also, she's apparently more into Zehra than I thought, though she was very politely shot down. perhaps next run... on our way to hell, we encounter a creature most uncouth. sadly, shoving her into the water would probably count as murder. and then we entered the worst hell imaginable. a Wells Fargo branch.    while I could have run around to find the solution to their security system, shooting it full of lightning and water was much quicker. the bank director (i assume) was very proud of trapping The Stoner Lord in a mimic chest, but, it turns out that a mimic cannot contain a giant shaved bear-man-thing. he runs off with a fake Jaheira after a moment, with 10,000 dollars in tow, and leaves some boring trash to clean up.    Zehra, you might be a bit addicted to putting your life in danger.    eventually we caught up to Stoner Lord Minsc, Not-Jaheira, and one Roah Mooonglow taking the bag full of stolen money. i wasn't sure if you had to stop Roah before she escaped, so I had Zehra Misty Step over to her and trap her with the ever-wonderful Ensnaring Strike before the usual smiting and killing. after that, a few blows to the head got Minsc into a state where we could, you know, disconnect him from The Absolute, but he ran off, punched through a wall, and started skulking around?    oh, apparently he had to track down his...hamster? well okay then. hello boo. on return to the Thieves Guildhall, it was under siege by a bunch of angry Zhentarim goons. They lasted about two turns, and clearing them up got us the support of the Guild!     Jaheira demonstrated powerful Mom Energy by managing to admonish and thank us at the same time. afterwards, a bit of arguing with Minsc, and an opportunity for Zehra to be a smart-rear end, which I will take 100% of the time.    you know, when I said Mom Energy, I didn't mean it quite that literally!

I really need to get a playthrough to the point where I can recruit him. My first run I didn't realize Jaheira couldn't be revivified until after the end of the Act 2 finale and didn't feel like reloading, and my second run was as an evil Durge so...

I'll leave it the way it is. And as much as I love my bardic cowboy hat that circlet I got from the ogre who died during the robot battle can resolve the nasty -1 I get on Intelligence checks, so I'm going to give it a try. Too bad that you can't transmog clothing.

Minsc punching his way out of the Mimic is legit one of my favorite scenes in the game. The fact that his "there is no gold in here!" afterward just sounds indignant and offended more than anything is just the cherry on top. And if Roah or her replacement if she died previously gets away, she'll be there at the Guildhall battle. As for Jaheira, she genuinely just responds well to being teased and cajoled. You'll never not gain approval for it, I'm pretty sure. I heard someone else comment that after so long as such a massive celebrity for her past adventures and being treated like a legend, she probably finds it refreshing and delightful to have someone be so irreverent. Plus I'm pretty sure she just enjoys crossing wits with people and engaging in Snark-to-Snark Combat.

Honestly the harshest thing about minsc is that Jahiera’s VA does such a perfect performance of the same character just a bit older that it’s really hard not to mentally critique every small difference between Mercer’s voice and Jim Cummings’ original. It’s a great performance but I could never shake the feeling of “oh, it’s my DM doing an incredibly good minsc”. Without Tracey Wiles performance I don’t think I’d have a bad word to say about it.
