Anyone else doing this? It's brutal and exciting to say the least.
Had my first near wipe on my first somewhat successful party. At the northern bridge in the area with the Boots of the North there is 2 ogre berserkers and 4 hobgoblin archers with poison arrows. Aj went down to some lucky crits from the ogres and then I was left scrambling to kite the ogres and trying to CC the hobgoblins who chewed up some squishies. Minsc heroically went into melee to save Dynaheir and managed to chunk an ogre. Dynaheir used her moment to try to stinking cloud the hobgoblins but they felled her with arrows.
In the end only Imoen and Charname were standing and i lost the +1 club that Aj was using sometimes as forgot to pick it up (figure night club is nice extra AC and good vs plate foes for a tank).
After raising everyone and reequipping I'm back to trying to track down Brage.
Current party is:
Blade charname (4) w/Chelsey Crusher and crossbow
Imoen (4) to be dualed to Mage at 6
Minsc (3) with Stupifier and ** in mace
Ajantis (3) with tanking gear
Branwen (4) to dual to thief at 7 cleric
Dynaheir (4) to dual to cleric at 6 wizard
I picked everyone up quickly and have been doing as much easy XP as I can. When I can dual everyone my plan is to kick Minsc and Aj and take the dualers to basilisks and sirines to get through first couple of levels.
Without donations I'm at 19 rep and considering where to get my last point before I purchase some big items. Options are ankhegs (which I'm scared of), commander Brage or the cow as I've done everything else I think.
