You only ever really need one tank in your party; most of the characters are just so much better with arrows and bullets.
So, I recently finished BG2/ToB, and decided I hadn't played BG1 in far too long. But I didn't want to have to mess around and create a new character who was going to get pulvarised by kobolds.
So thanks to tutu I was able to import my level 33 fighter into BG1. Haha, he hasn't actually taken any damage yet. Also I did four chapters in two hours!

AntimatterDevo Was RightGates of SteelRegistered Userregular
The first thing we found in the Cloakwood was an old house, but it, like, didn't have anyone in it! I think Janty thought it was romantic, though, since he started telling me about his family and stuff!
: Lady Buffy, we talked about Waterdeep, and you know that my family lives there. I feel very attached to my parents. I would like to tell you more about my family, if you are interested.
: Oh, like, totally! Is your dad, like, rich or something?
: My closest of kin are my parents, Ulguth and Mara, a brother Gotom, and a sister Elina. I am the youngest of four. I had an older brother, Envin, but he died from a disease when I was five.
: Oooh, that totally sucks! I'm soooo sorry to hear it!
: It was a very hard time for us all, my lady. The disease tormented him for a long time, and to see him suffering was nearly unbearable. With Envin, we children lost our eldest brother, and our parents lost their firstborn son and heir. Now it is up to Gotom to carry on the Ilvastarr's family traditions. Which he already did. He and his wife Sinna are expecting their second child.
: Oh, so you're, like, an uncle? That's cool, I guess!
: I wish them well from the bottom of my heart. Sinna is such a nice person, I like her and my nephew very much.
: It's totally cool that you care about your family and stuff. But, like, did your brother dying make you want to become a paladin? Were you all like "Oh I need to honor my brother's memory!" or something?
: No, my lady, I do not think that there is a connection. Envin died of a natural illness, not because it was ordained by an evil power. But that the memory of his suffering might have strengthened my resolution is an interesting thought. I have to admit I never thought about that, as I have never searched for any 'reasons' for my desire to become a paladin. Would you take a look at my family shield, lady Buffy? This is our coat of arms: A dragon with a metallic green body and orange eyes on a golden field. You might think that this belonged to a proud knight's family, and was made to terrify Ilvastarr's foes in battle. And yet it is the result of the artistic aspirations of my great grandfather.
: Oooh, so he was, like, an arty guy or something!
: My great-grandfather was a remarkable man, my lady. Rumor even has it that he was one of the Masked Lords of Waterdeep. He became tired of the arrogance and narrow-mindedness of the nobles, who care for nothing but their own desires. He opened his house to various intellectual and artistic ideas, trying to learn and understand this world as much as he could. That influenced the style of the Ilvastarr family very much, lady Buffy. My parents are in contact with the artists of Waterdeep, and from far away. They often have learned men as guests in our house. Even when I was young, I liked to listen to their discussions.
: Really? When I was young I, like, played with dolls.
: Indeed. I could imagine you had many chances to listen to fascinating conversations in the high halls of Candlekeep's library. Ilvastarrs are not just benefactors of arts, of course. We are a merchant family, and my father is a hard working trader. He specializes in beast-taming and breeding, which is done mostly on our country estate south of the city.
: Gross!
: My mother assists him there, and she has a special hobby.
: Eeew!
: Some of the beasts are meant for slaughtering, and mama is a very fine cook of exotic meats. She has won prizes with her recipes.
Buffy: Oh, you mean, like, cooking! Well no wonder you're such a good cook! Though I have to wonder how good you cook breakfast...
: That was very kind of you to say, my lady. This is all I wanted to tell you about my family... for now. Perhaps we should rejoin my companions.
Then we saw some guy creeping up and he yelled at us! I would have been angry if he weren't so cute!
: Oh, I apologize for my rudeness, I mistook you for someone else. Let me introduce myself, I am Aldeth Sashenstar. You must understand that at the moment I'm under a terrible amount of stress. You see my dear fellows, there is a group of uncouth savages that has declared their intention of killing my friends and I. I've been holed up in this cabin for several days, and have lacked the wherewithal to try and make an escape. Perhaps you kind sirs would help a fellow in trouble.
: I, like, always have a, like, policy of helping out hot guys!
: Good men! I'm glad you had the sense of decency to help a man in my situation. Let me explain my predicament. My friends and I come here every year to do some sport hunting. This year, however, a group of woodland savages threatened us with bodily harm if we did not stop our hunting trip. Being civilized men we realized that it's well within our rights to hunt where we damn well please. After a few more days of hunting the crass woodmen lost all pretense of humanity and murdered Elban, one of my oldest friends. I'm sure that they plan to attack our cottage here, so we had best be prepared.
When we were about to set off, this other cute guy came up and started yelling at us! I was like, man, why is everyone sooo angry at us?
: Tresspassers and butchers of our wood; I, Seniyad, have come to administer the punishment that you have brought down upon yourselves. Yet, who are the men that stand beside you? With them we have no quarrel. It is now to you that I speak; these men have most likely duped you into protecting their sorry hides. They have most likely not told of the druid they have slain in cold blood. I will allow you to rethink their earlier decision and leave these men to their most deserved fate.
: Wait, Seniyad, Do you not recognize me? It is I, Jaheira! Surely you will not attack one of your own?
: Jaheira? It is indeed you, young one! It has been a long time since we last met... but your willingness to protect this filthy hunter saddens the occasion of our meeting.
: While I consider hunting for sport as something to be frowned upon, I would never consent to the views that look upon it as an offense punishable by death, Seniyad.
: Ah, yes. The source of our constant disagreement, wasn't it? I had hoped that your constant exposure to civilization would make you reconsider your views; alas, it appears that has not happened. Still, I might be persuaded to leave yon hunter friend with his life... On one condition.
: Speak, Seniyad, and I... Buffy and I will listen.
: A sect of Shadow Druids have taken over a part of our sacred forest as their territory, and we have so far failed to reclaim it. No doubt the mere presence of them would worry any druid commited to our true beliefs.
: This does concern me greatly, Seniyad. I would be willing to aid you... If Buffy would agree to a distraction from our own quest.
: There is one thing that you could help us with, Jaheira, as we require the assistance of someone that is less known to the Shadow Druids than my loyal followers. A few months ago a Shadow Druid approached a young druidess from our circle by the name of Maretha, giving her an invitation to join their circle. This was a part of my plan to infiltrate their accursed circle, and it seemed to work for a few months... until two tendays ago. Maretha has not shown up at her secret meeting place with one of our druids. We have not seen or heard from her since, Jaheira.
: And I assume that you want us to rescue her... If she is still alive.
: That is what I want you and your group to accomplish. Maretha possesses important information about the plans of the Shadow Druids, and probably knows the names of the Shadow Druids who have infiltrated our own order. She must be rescued, and soon, for the time of Shadowclave draws near.
: I see. Then we do not have much time, I agree. Buffy, you will help us in this undertaking, of course?
: Um, sure, but what's, like, the Shadowcave?
: Shadowclave is the secret celebration of the Shadow Druid sect, during which many druidic ceremonies take place. Initiation of new members is also rumored to happen during this celebration. But what concerns Seniyad and I most, is the public torture and execution of traitors and enemies of the Shadow Druids. If we do not make it in time, unfortunate Maretha will die a horrible death.
: That is not all, Jaheira. A few days ago, one of my druids chose to risk his life trying to sneak into the Shadow Druid territories and rescue the woman he was enamored with. We have not heard of him since. You would remember him, Jaheira... it was Beador.
: Beador... yes... yes, I remember him. And I see he is sstill the hotheaded fool he once was...
: well, what are we, like, waiting for? Let's go!
: Thank you, Buffy. I knew I could count on your assistance.
: You have made a wise decision. Good luck to you! And you... get out of my sight, defiler of nature. Be glad that Jaheira's word is valued so highly, lest I would insist on your foul presence until the deed is carried out.
: Y-yes, thank you for your assistance, strangers... If you ever travel to Baldur's Gate, come to the Merchants' League, and I will aid you in any way I can. Take now this small token of my appreciation.
When we were in the next area of the Cloakwood, this nervous guy came up to us. He seemed really sad.
: He... Hello, travelers, I'm Tiber. Could I take up some of your time? I would be very grateful if you would just listen to... If you would just help me!
: Okay, don't, like, go crazy or anything! We can help!
: Thank you! Thank... you... it's my brother you see. He and I went into the Cloakwood to clear the woods of the spider colony that infests it. I know it sounds foolish... but my brother had found the sword 'Spider's Bane'! The sword was created to kill spiders... and we thought we could become famous... the heroes of Cloakwood, and all that. But my brother hasn't returned yet... and it's been more than a week. Please, could you go into the woods and find him for me... my mother would be so shattered if Chelak were to be dead.
: We'll totally find your brother!
: Oh yes! Please search quickly... His name's Chelak. Be careful.
That guy wasn't kidding about spiders! There were totally gross spiders in the Cloakwood!
Ettercaps too, which are like gross spider-monkey guys! Eeew!
And there were, like, all kinds of traps around there, that would spray webs on me and then I wasn't able to move! I was like, come on, I'm totally not into bondage!
But the totally grossest thing of all was this biiig cave that was all slimy, and then I realized it was, like, made out of webs!
But even grosser than that was the big fat old lady inside the cave! I nearly threw up just looking at her!
: Kill the meat, my pets.
: Eew, you're, like, totally fat! Do you not know how to diet or something?
: Shut up and die!
We totally beat her, like, really easily! I mean, she was a total fatty, she could hardly move!
: Wait... I will not resist. Kill me, but first I want to tell you of my curse - to take it off my chest.
: I don't think just telling us is going to take much off of your chest!
: My curse - that is all I remember now. I used to be beautiful and powerful.
: Like, seriously?
: An exotic sorceress, with many powers at my command, and suitors at my door. But I only had eyes for one man, Jon Irenicus. He was a great and powerful wizard, the only man worthy of my affections, or so I thought. Though I lusted for Jon, he cared little for me, for he had another to whom he was married, lady Tanova.
: Oh girl, you totally shouldn't mess around with married men! That's like waaay more trouble than it's worth!
: So I plotted and schemed, and finally came up with a plan to rid the world of Tanova. When the deed was done, and Tanova lay dead, I was exultant, but not for long. Jon went mad with fury, and using his powerful magics, divined the identiy of his wife's murderer. He arrived at my tower, and I allowed him entry, desirous to finally consummate our love. Jon disabled me with his spells and then he cursed me to this body, and sent spiders to feed me and keep me alive. So you see, if you were my friend, you would kill me.
: For letting that happen to your body, you, like, don't even deserve to stay alive! Plus you nearly made me yark all over my nice clean armor!
The creepy fatso spider lady had some cool stuff hidden away, but also the body of the guy, who I think was the other guy's brother. I was like, hey, at least we can bring him back his body, right?
: Chelak! Oh... Chelak. How will I ever tell my mother. I was so stupid! I should have stopped this stupid idea. Such a waste... such a waste. You can keep the damn sword, it's been more of a curse than anything else. I thank you for bringing my brother's body. There was little you could have done.
I'm... not? I'm going to finish this game and then do playthroughs of the games I didn't finish. I didn't say I'd finish the game in a month or something.
Edit: Yeah Mysst, but Rachel will probably be hogging the computer for that, and we have a laptop now which is ideal for old DOS games and such.
The sword we found was Spider's Bane, and it was totally awesome! I gave it to Janty for an early birthday present!
The ring was hella lame! I mean, I don't want to be, like, a braniac or anything, but I don't want to be totally dumb either! We just dropped that on the ground.
This wand was totally rad, and I gave it to Imoen!
Janty got some good use out of his new sword already! He used it to kill some phase spiders for me!
And when we were taking a break, he went off and killed some by himself! What a sweetie!
Then we totally had a sweet conversation together.
: My lady, we have talked much of me and my family since we have met. But I would like to learn more about you and your home. I only know that you were born in Candlekeep, and your foster father was brutally murdered.
: Uhhh, duhhh! He was such a nice guy, too!
: Of course. It must have been terrible to see him die without being able to help him.
: It totally sucked! I'm going to find the guys responsible so I can find out what their deal is!
: Rest assured that I will help you in any way I can, my lady. The further we go, the more I suspect that the death of your foster father is somehow linked to the recent events here on the Sword Coast. Forgive me, lady Buffy. It is not the best subject for a casual chat. Most certainly there must have been more pleasant memories of Candlekeep and your childhood?
: Well, yeah! There were a bunch of totally rad people there.
: Of course there were. Please tell me about them.
: Well of course there's Imoen. We're, like, sisters or something!
: Please, go on.
: But there weren't any other kids my age, you know? The stable master was nice, the commander of the guard was cool, Hull was a nice guy, and the weirdo lady mage... Oh, and Winthrop! For such a tubby guy he sure got around!
: That sounds nice, my lady.
: And I got to hang out with Gorion's buddies, too! Most of them are stuffy old mage types like Firebeard or Tethoril, and then there were all the monks! They're all sooo nice although they act like I'm really young still.
: I know the feeling. Sometimes it can be amusing when things like that happen. However, it can also be quite frustrating.
: Ummm, what are you, like, my therapist? I think that's all the people I can think of.
: I thank you for satisfying my curiosity. With all of my heart I hope that one day you will again find peace within the walls of your home. There is a lot to be done until then, however. Let us continue with our search.
We went further north, and Jaheira was all like "Blah blah blah I hate Shadow Druids and you should too! Blah blah blah!"
Then this really nice looking guy with totally hot hair came up to us!
: Like, hello, who are you?
: My name is Laskal, and I am the protector of the Cloakwood. I would ask you a question before I take my leave of you. I have a message for those that serve the Iron Throne. Would you be a representative of that organization?
: Eeew, no, those guys are totally gross! I hate them!
: Mmmmm. An enemy of an enemy is a friend. My earlier question was just a test. I am glad to know that you oppose this organization. They have been a blight on these woods ever since they re-opened the ancient dwarven iron mine. Well, I am glad to know you. Take this, hopefully it will aid you against the Iron Throne. The Iron Throne's fort is located to the east.
: You showed a great sense of courage and honor, Buffy! The temptation of lying to recieve a message addressed to our enemies did not overwhelm you.
: Hmph. An offering from one of those filthy Shadow Druids. I am amazed he did not attack us on sight. Still, Buffy... I would not trust those detestable brews of theirs, that potion should be disposed of instead of consumed.
: Your companion professed her friendship. Do not test my tolerance.
We saw this awesome huge tree! I was like "Oh my gods, that is, like, the biggest tree I've ever seen!"
We also found this cool cave, and since caves usually have treasure, I was like, let's go in!
But the only thing actually in the cave was this weird dude and a couple of flying lizard things.
: Move along friends, nothing to see here. Just a humble woodsman doing a little spelunking.
: Accompanied by a horde of equally humble baby wyverns? State your purpose here, lest I follow my duty as nature's servant and determine it for myself.
: This is an odd place to meet a woodsman. Are you not afraid of those baby wyverns behind you?
: You just don't know the subtleties of wood and wood-related activities. These creatures are docile and... and it is worth the risk. Um... even the darkest of caves can be rewarding experience for the woodsman that knows how to handle himself. Why... um... subterranean trees can yield the best material for carving... ahhh... ornamental things.
: Umm, I don't know about you, but I don't think trees grow underground. They need sunlight, and stuff!
: Um... not at all. It is not uncommon for... for a woodsman to seek the comfort of natural caverns and... and... oh to blazes with it! I can tell by your questions that you suspect me of lying and I tire of this ruse! No, I am not a simple woodsman! I am training these beasts to serve as guards, and now that you have interrupted me I shall never have them ready for the mine. Your presence has agitated them; they will be unmanageable for days now! Perhaps... Perhaps I can placate them with meat. Your meat!
He attacked us, and I was like "Come on dude, that never works on us!"
The coffin nearby had this totally cool ring in it, though!
We found that the huge tree was actually someone's house! How cool is that?
Before we could go in, though, some guy came up and was like "Blah blah blah I hate regular druids die Jaheira".
It's like they never learn or something!
We went inside the treehouse and there was this really gross, grimy looking dude. I know druids are supposed to be one with nature and stuff, but, like, water is part of nature, and they can wash themselves in it!
: Seniyad's followers are well known to me; you travel with the one known as Jaheira. Her naive views of society living in harmony with nature must be cleansed from the world, so that nature might regain the respect it deserves! As a Shadow Archdruid it falls to me to be the sickle that cleaves your parasitic taint from this forest! There will be no talking, no negotiation!
: Ah, the infamous Shadow Archdruid himself, as unbalanced and unreasonable as any of his followers, as one can judge by the way of this greeting. And if the sickle that will try to cut me down is as dull as your wit, then I have very little to fear. Buffy and I shall clear this wood of the taint of Shadow Druids, so that the true druids can resume their caring nurturing of the forest.
: You are as good as platitudes as your mentor Seniyad.
: Like, what do plates have to do with this?
: Or perhaps you were expecting the release of a trespasser? Fools... Nature is brutal, efficient, and unforgiving. You will get no help from me.
: Hand over Maretha now, Amaranthe... Or are you not truly Archdruid here?
: I am Archdruid here, and I make the decisions. Andarthe merely extends my will with force. He is away, leading the rituals on the Island to cleanse this wood of the taint. Only he can release those I have ceded to him. Seniyad will learn that his days are numbered, as are those of his feeble followers!
Further north I saw some guy walking up to a cliff. I guess he was a woodsman or something.
And then, oh my god, this huuuge Wyvern came up with a huuuge cow and flew right over the guy! I was like holy crap!
Then we saw this guy getting beaten up by more gross slimy druids!
: Strangers... get away from here... to the tree house. Maretha... rescue her... don't bother with me...
: Hey, we were just there!
: Even when dying, he is so foolishly noble! Onward, Buffy, we cannot allow these Shadow Filth to kill him!
Of course, we totally killed them!
: Beador, you... you fool! How could you be so reckless! Lie down and allow yourself to be healed!
: Jaheira? Jaheira, is that you? I thought I would never see your face again, after... After you left...
: I thought I told you to lie down, foolish man! And preserve your strength, do not speak... Especially not of the past.
: You... you have not changed at all over these years, Jaheira. How have you been doing all this time?
: H-hello, Beador. It is g-good to see you again.
: Ah... and my greetings to you, Khalid, as well. It appears that my question has been answered, then.
: Enough of this nonsense, Beador. We were sent by Seniyad to look for you and this woman, maretha, and that is what we will attempt to do.
: By Silvanus, praise you and Seniyad both! Please, Jaheira, you must free her... there is a bridge over the river nearby, cross it and go back south... find the tree house. She was... just taken there, to be tortured by Andarthe, one of the Shadow Archdruids. Please, hurry!
: We will try our best, Beador. You stay here and try not to move around too much. Come, Buffy, let us teach these heretics a few harsh lessons!
We killed some more baby Wyverns, and then I noticed this really gross smell!
The smell was coming from a nearby cave, and I was like eew! But maybe there's treasure in there or something, or monsters to kill.
And there totally were! It must've been my, like, women's intuition or something.
There was a dude that was laying dead there. I wonder if he had killed that really big Wyvern? I was like, thanks dude, and you're not going to be using this stuff, so I'll just take it, okay?
He had some really nice gems on him, I was like whoaaa!
: My lady, as I have already told you I am trying to win glory and honor to get knighted by the Order of the Most Radiant Heart. This is my goal, and I am eagerly awaiting the day of my anointment.
: That is sooo cool! I bet you're sooo excited!
: On the receipt of my accolade, all those that are held dear to my heart shall be present. Sir Keldorn Firecam, a highly respected knight of the Order, was my mentor and he taught me a lot. I hope he will be there as well as my parents, my sister, and my brother.
: Yeah, mentors are so cool! I guess he taught you a lot, huh?
: That is true. But of course not all learning is done like that - in some places, it is not possible. Myrmith Splendon, who instructed me in martial ways, earns his living by training others.
: Who's Merkin Splendor?
: Myrmith is a "captain-at-arms", my lady, a professional who will train fighting men that are willing to pay his fees. He is a friendly yet vigilant person and a great master of his art. he makes his home in Waterdeep, and gives his lessons there.
: Well, I guess you spent your money pretty well! You're totally buff and good at fighting!
: Thank you for the compliment, my lady. I always strive to be more than a good fighter, but also a good... companion. Let us move on, for with every step we take, I come closer to becoming a knight.
We finally went to the treehouse again and there were more of those gross druids!
: Who dares to intrude on Shadow Druid territory during the sacred time of the Shadowclave? Whoever you are, fools, I sense that I must thank you. You have brought me another of those false druids to torture and punish according to our sacred rites. She will scream as loudly as delightfully as that idiot Beador, until she recognizes the falseness of her ways!
: D-don't you d-dare threaten her! Hand over your p-prisoners, and we m-might be t-tolerant...
: Way to grow a pair, Khalid!
: This will only end in blood, I am afraid. But the blood that will flow will be yours, Andarthe, not mine, of that I am certain!
I hit the guy, like, once, and he was all "OH NO DON'T HURT ME ANYMORE"! What a wuss!
: Please! I... I implore you... have mercy and spare my life... I will leave these lands and never return. I stand defenseless.
: Run then, like a cowardly jackal with its tail between its legs! Know that Seniyad sent us, and that your return to these woods will mean a swift execution. Filthy bastards like you do not deserve mercy as it is, and definitely not twice!
: Yeah, you'll be no fun to kill without any weapons anyway! So, like, scoot!
: This only means that we should be careful on our path, as we proceed deeper into the Cloakwood. And let us free Maretha, while we have the chance.
We found the girl inside. She was looking messed up, but I guess being cooped up with these gross non-bathing druids will do that to you.
: I... I heard the sounds of battle, outside. And you are obviously not the Shadow Druids... dare I hope that you are my rescuers?
: We totally are!
Maretha: Thank you, sister. Have you not seen my friend, nearby... his name is Beador... they took him away, and I fear for his life.
: We were able to save him, though despite my healing, he is still injured. You will find him on the island, where the river forks, east from here.
: Oh, I thank you! I am so relieved! Forgive me, but I must run and see him to be sure! Thank you, once again.
: Buffy, I know you are anxious to proceed to the mines as soon as possible, and I feel the same. Still, perhaps you would consider making a little detour to bring the good news back to Seniyad?
: That is totally cool! Let's go talk to him!
: Thank you. You know, I would usually not make such requests, but this matter is important to me, as a druid. I am glad you are willing to acknowledge that.
: Ah, there you are! I hear that you have administered a fitting punishment for those vile mockers of our true beliefs. Maretha told me everything, as well as the names of two high standing members in our own order, connected with the Shadow Circle. Their punishment was swift and sound. We have dealt a huge blow to the Shadow Druids, and reclaiming our sacred forest shall now only be a matter of time.
: Oh, I'm totally glad to have helped you guys!
: You have proven to be a good ally, Buffy. For that you will be rewarded with the allegiance of the druids of the Cloakwood and a free, undisturbed passage through our woods. And let me add something else as well... this enchanted club found in the possessions of one of the traitors. It will be a powerful tool in Jaheira's hands!
: You have my assurances that it will be put to good use in maintaining the balance and crushing nature's nemies, Seniyad.
: Yes, you have once again proven your devotion as a druid, Jaheira. It was good seeing you and your friends again, but now we must part. Farewell, buffy, Farewell, Jaheira!
The club was sweet, but I couldn't even use it, so I gave it to Jaheira.
And the evil druid had dropped a spear, and I was like score! Until I realized that I didn't need a spear...
We finally made our way to the mines.
I don't know about this, I hope it turns out well for us! Of course, when hasn't it?

Heh. Beador's pic is of Simon from Tad William's Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series.
So wait, what happened between the Archdruid talk-a-thon and the wyvern/cow cutscene? I feel like I missed something.
Eagerly anticipating the mines. Good pair of updates!
Oh, I forgot to mention it, but we just killed him and left.
Runx3: This is Baldur's Gate Tutu, basically BG1 with the BG2 version of the Infinity Engine, so it includes the BG2 classes, which included a few kits for some of the base classes.
Posts
Kivan rocks face, though. Seriously, the guy's like a murder machine with arrows.
So, I recently finished BG2/ToB, and decided I hadn't played BG1 in far too long. But I didn't want to have to mess around and create a new character who was going to get pulvarised by kobolds.
So thanks to tutu I was able to import my level 33 fighter into BG1. Haha, he hasn't actually taken any damage yet. Also I did four chapters in two hours!
Let me think about that statement for a moment....
Nope, I'm willing to let it stand.

Also, cool.
The first thing we found in the Cloakwood was an old house, but it, like, didn't have anyone in it! I think Janty thought it was romantic, though, since he started telling me about his family and stuff!
Buffy: Oh, you mean, like, cooking! Well no wonder you're such a good cook! Though I have to wonder how good you cook breakfast...
Then we saw some guy creeping up and he yelled at us! I would have been angry if he weren't so cute!
When we were about to set off, this other cute guy came up and started yelling at us! I was like, man, why is everyone sooo angry at us?
When we were in the next area of the Cloakwood, this nervous guy came up to us. He seemed really sad.
That guy wasn't kidding about spiders! There were totally gross spiders in the Cloakwood!

The creepy fatso spider lady had some cool stuff hidden away, but also the body of the guy, who I think was the other guy's brother. I was like, hey, at least we can bring him back his body, right?
Man, obviously Buffy isn't up with the latest adventuring fantasy girl trends. Doesn't she ever hang out with the girls of Boris Vallejo paintings?
The fan-written romance with Ajantis is alright but dude comes off as sounding like a goddamn encyclopedia of Waterdeep at times.
I didn't remember that they mentioned Irenicus in BG1
I am going to finish this, though. After which I'll move on to... something else!
Edit: Actually after this I may do another playthrough of Clouds of Xeen or Ja2 and, you know, finish it this time.
Fucking shit I hate The Sims and it's ability to steal days of my life.
I'm... not? I'm going to finish this game and then do playthroughs of the games I didn't finish. I didn't say I'd finish the game in a month or something.
Edit: Yeah Mysst, but Rachel will probably be hogging the computer for that, and we have a laptop now which is ideal for old DOS games and such.
I want you to finish these LPs, but I am just saying.
No ones making you finish them, we love you the way we are.
Shoot for the stars kid.
this is problematic.
I don't want them chained to my desktop.

I just finished typing up all the dialogue for this update. Shit this game has a lot of writing.
I think they're over that way. Anyone else remember?
I will try to find all of em, though. I think I have the wisdom one too (not that it does much good)
The sword we found was Spider's Bane, and it was totally awesome! I gave it to Janty for an early birthday present!
The ring was hella lame! I mean, I don't want to be, like, a braniac or anything, but I don't want to be totally dumb either! We just dropped that on the ground.
This wand was totally rad, and I gave it to Imoen!
Janty got some good use out of his new sword already! He used it to kill some phase spiders for me!
And when we were taking a break, he went off and killed some by himself! What a sweetie!
Then we totally had a sweet conversation together.
We went further north, and Jaheira was all like "Blah blah blah I hate Shadow Druids and you should too! Blah blah blah!"
Then this really nice looking guy with totally hot hair came up to us!
We saw this awesome huge tree! I was like "Oh my gods, that is, like, the biggest tree I've ever seen!"
We also found this cool cave, and since caves usually have treasure, I was like, let's go in!
But the only thing actually in the cave was this weird dude and a couple of flying lizard things.
He attacked us, and I was like "Come on dude, that never works on us!"
The coffin nearby had this totally cool ring in it, though!
We found that the huge tree was actually someone's house! How cool is that?
Before we could go in, though, some guy came up and was like "Blah blah blah I hate regular druids die Jaheira".
It's like they never learn or something!
We went inside the treehouse and there was this really gross, grimy looking dude. I know druids are supposed to be one with nature and stuff, but, like, water is part of nature, and they can wash themselves in it!
Further north I saw some guy walking up to a cliff. I guess he was a woodsman or something.
And then, oh my god, this huuuge Wyvern came up with a huuuge cow and flew right over the guy! I was like holy crap!
Then we saw this guy getting beaten up by more gross slimy druids!
Of course, we totally killed them!
We killed some more baby Wyverns, and then I noticed this really gross smell!
The smell was coming from a nearby cave, and I was like eew! But maybe there's treasure in there or something, or monsters to kill.
And there totally were! It must've been my, like, women's intuition or something.
There was a dude that was laying dead there. I wonder if he had killed that really big Wyvern? I was like, thanks dude, and you're not going to be using this stuff, so I'll just take it, okay?
He had some really nice gems on him, I was like whoaaa!
We finally went to the treehouse again and there were more of those gross druids!
I hit the guy, like, once, and he was all "OH NO DON'T HURT ME ANYMORE"! What a wuss!
We found the girl inside. She was looking messed up, but I guess being cooped up with these gross non-bathing druids will do that to you.
Maretha: Thank you, sister. Have you not seen my friend, nearby... his name is Beador... they took him away, and I fear for his life.
The club was sweet, but I couldn't even use it, so I gave it to Jaheira.
And the evil druid had dropped a spear, and I was like score! Until I realized that I didn't need a spear...
We finally made our way to the mines.
I don't know about this, I hope it turns out well for us! Of course, when hasn't it?
I like those books.
I once had an English teacher who was friends with him, apparently.
Eagerly anticipating the mines. Good pair of updates!
Oh, I forgot to mention it, but we just killed him and left.
Runx3: This is Baldur's Gate Tutu, basically BG1 with the BG2 version of the Infinity Engine, so it includes the BG2 classes, which included a few kits for some of the base classes.
Not talking bout the story but the style.
