Just got going in act 2 and so far my best moment so far was getting Auntie Ethel’s mercy dialogue on my non-face character and rolling a nat 20 to get both Auntie Ethel’s ability increase along with freeing the damsel and getting the wild cutscene with her zombie husband

2024-04-30 23:15:45 +0000 UTCMayrina is grateful, when you talk with her after the hag. She says when she came for help the hag manipulated her and constantly would tell her that she’s going to be a horrible mother, and she wouldn’t amount anything. So basically Mayrina thought this was the best. When you use speak with dead on the hag before talking with Mayrina and tell her that the hag was going to eat her baby, she’s grateful then. She will give you this locket. my first play through I kept it and can’t do anything with it can’t even sell it. So, second play through just gave it back. Mayrina was very grateful after that.

2024-03-30 18:00:57 +0000 UTCGods alive, a paladin. I’ve picked more of your brethren out of my teeth and look forward to eating you. 🤣🤣 so much hate for my paladin.

2024-03-30 17:59:27 +0000 UTCSell all the potions. Realized that some of them look like potions that I use. Found that out the hard way. I forgot which one it is, but it looks like the arcane potion. Anyways, I used it one time by accident and had to reload because whenever one it was, it causes permanent damage.

2024-03-30 17:56:26 +0000 UTCSo I’ve played this several ways. So far best suggestion. Feather fall down to the bottom. I’ve killed her before she even started, tried to have Astarion go first and disarm traps. (That’s when I found out it takes 30 and just no). I also take all her potions, pottery, whatever I can find. You know money.

2024-03-26 17:26:58 +0000 UTCI’ve never gotten mage hand to work for me, ever. Every time I summon it it can’t pull a level or do shit and if it’s in combat it does act as a distracting body but that’s like it. 😂

2024-03-26 03:10:40 +0000 UTCLove the expression of play available to you; I threw a jug of water to wet the cage (before I found out Create Water wasn't useless) but I didn't even think to Speak with Dead on Ethel's victims! Great ep, loving the show show!

2024-03-25 15:13:06 +0000 UTCJust a note, since you both seemed unfamiliar with the phrase, that "Clever Clogs" is an idiomatic expression and gentle epithet similar to "Smart Alecks". These are both the less prurient forms for "Clever Dick" or "Smart Arse" and, I am now realising, probably excessively British. Ethel is basically just calling you out for being too smart for her tricks, and sadly not calling you clogs nor commenting on any shoes that may or may not be involved.

2024-03-25 10:19:39 +0000 UTCBrutal Honor Mode Story: I did this perfectly, I brute forced the Hag clones with a big AOE create water and twinned spell lightning, got her to surrender her hair AND Mayrina! While accepting the hair and ingesting it somehow, Mayrina, while escaping, walked through some electrocuted water and died… Conner will now never accept me and yells Maaaay at me, presumably trying to say Mayrina. And Bitter Divorce does nothing but continuously bring back a furious zombie with 1 hit point that is always hostile even after long rest. 😭

2024-03-25 05:59:56 +0000 UTCFor a risk-reward approach to “save” Mayrina, you can cast ice blast on her cage to stop it from burning. In my most recent play through I forgot for 4-5 rounds that it was burning, and Gale to cast ice blast on it, and though usually it has enough health to not break from the ice blast, because I had waited so long it broke and Mayrina fell into the chasm. I should’ve rolled with it but I reloaded because I didn’t want Gale to have to leave with that on his conscience. 🥲

2024-03-25 01:34:07 +0000 UTCThe reason Vancian magic uses the word "memorize" is because in Tales from the Dying Earth, the spells are living demons that you trap within your physical brain through repetition. When you cast the spell, you're releasing the demon and all its power, which means that, in order to cast the spell again, you would need to spend time trapping it again. A powerful wizard in this setting could keep around 3-4 spells memorized at most. There's some really cool worldbuilding you can do with this, like the having the brains of wizards look like actual mazes designed to trap and confuse these demons.

2024-03-25 00:37:09 +0000 UTCFun fact, you can let the Hag live and Efrin will still be cured of the curse she put on him. Still can’t save the Brainwashed Prisoners tho
