Baldur's Gate: The Zero Reload Saga

There are two things of note about the fight we just engaged in.

Number one is that there was a scroll of Protection from Energy on the corpse of the standoffish one.

Protection from Energy. That’s a level eight spell. Level EIGHT. What in god’s name was he doing with this? Had he discovered the “anyone can use scrolls” exploit or something? Well, he didn’t have any potions on him, so tough luck on that one. Not that it would have helped much anyway since he got beaten to death, and “kinetic” isn’t considered a type of energy in this game. This explains why Baldur’s Gate II is not especially popular with physicists.

Secondly, before the fight actually starts, the not-standoffish one makes a mysterious reference to a man named “Mr. F.”

As far as I know, this is one of the game’s unsolved mysteries. We never find out who “Mr. F” is. In fact, the only important character whose name begins with “F” that I can come up with off the top of my head is Firkragg, and it doesn’t seem to me like these morons would have had much business with a dragon. When you’re an ancient, tremendously powerful lizard masquerading as a high-standing member of the local nobility, you could probably do a lot better than those two.

Mind you, it would explain where they got that scroll from. Hmm.

Well, anyway. They’re dead now, so we won’t get our underwear a-tangled over it, although once again, Korgan ended up taking more damage than I would have liked him to. He really hasn’t been having much luck so far. We’re all out of healing spells too, so he’ll have to wait until we’ve returned a certain stuffed animal to a certain spectre.

Speaking of which, into the tavern once more.
