Baldur's Gate: The Zero Reload Saga

OK, we’re safe. I realised what the problem was as soon as I brought the game window back up; Vespero got hit with a Silence spell.

He hadn’t taken any actual damage during the fight and the effect doesn’t last that long anyway, so I just Ctrl+R’ed it away and tried again. Sure enough, Viconia asks to join us and our reputation takes an undeserved hit. Phew.

We do a little item shuffling at this point. Korgan gets the dead fanatic’s plate mail and Viconia gets Korgan’s recently shed splint mail. Korgan also gets a medium shield while handing his small shield over to Viccy. Jaheira donates some bullets and a spare sling she’d kept just for this occasion, and we’re all set.

Of course I had the foresight to keep a spare sling around, but not a mace or a hammer. Ah well.

Does anyone else find it odd that Jan wears neon blue? It certainly doesn’t look that way on his portrait. Anyway, we’re going to head inside here so that the Cowled Wizards won’t bother us while we patch Korgan up and make the party safer with a few protection spells.

Now…this is just downright inexcusable. We’re in the council building in the Government district. There are two Cowled Wizards in here, Corneil and Tolgerias, and we’re casting spell after spell RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES AND THEY COULDN’T CARE LESS. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Ugh. Well, given the selective blindness of the law enforcement in this city, we’re still free to act, so we’ll want to get back to the task of doing reputation-boosting quests. There’s a perfect one to start on down in the Graveyard district, so that’s where we’ll be heading next.
