Last time we were captured by mind flayers. One of them put some kind of parasite inside our eye. After that their ship was attacked by dragons and we escaped with a few other prisoners. After that the ship crashed but we survived. Then our character Griffith woke up. And started gathering allies pawns. So far we found two- Shadowheart and Astarion. In game our goal for now is to find a cure for parasites. Otherwise they will turn us into mind flayers. But in my mind Griffith really wants to conquer a kingdom.
In this part we found an injured mind flayer. He tried to control us but we freed ourselves by beating his will. After that we left him to die.
We went a bit further. And then we found a glowing stone. So...naturally we decided to touch it. After that we heard a voice coming from it. And then we saw a hand homing out of stone. The voice was asking us to pull him from the stone. it turned out that this was a mage named Gale. I have heard about magical stones, about swords in stones...But this was a first time I saw a mage who was stuck in stone. Gale joined our party and became a final active member of our team.
After that we saw another prisoner who escaped with us from mind flayers ship. Lae'zel...She was captured again. This time by locals. So I guess she is not so great a of a fighter after as she believes. Anyway it seems that our bond with other prisoners got stronger- we were able to speak telepathically with Lae'zel. She promised us to give us a cure from parasites if we will save her. We freed her from the locals. And then Lae'zel revealed that she doesn't have the cure...just yet. But her people may have it. Griffith was already happy with his current companions so we sent Lae'zel to the camp.
After that we saw some scouts who were attacked by goblins. We helped the scouts defend themselves. Another companion(Wyll) apreared and helped defeat the goblins.
Then we spoke with leader of refugees- Zevlor. He asked us to speak with leader of druids who's name is Kagha. Zevlor wants Kagha to let refugees stay in druid grove.
After that we used parasite connection to look into Gale's mind. We learned something interesting. It seems that he was doing some unusual magic.
After that we spoke with one of the scouts. He said that they were looking into for something called Nightsong. It was suppose to be hidden under the temple but there scouts were attacked by goblins. Then we talked with Wyll. He said that he wants to kill a soldier of archdevil. that soldier's name is Karlach. Wyll seems to have very cool design and fighting style. The problem is that he appears to be goodie two shoes and could get in our way of Griffith taking over a kingdom. So we told him to wait in the camp as well.
After that we let a refugee kill a goblin prisoner. Not because we approved her desire to get revenge. No. The goblin believed in some god called Absolute. And the only one who deserves to be called that is our main character- Griffith. We acknowledge no rivals to our rule.
Then we met a very fancy looking guy Volo who asked us questions about goblins attack. We exaggerated the story as much as we could. Then he decided to go and investigate them himself. He will rest in pieces I guess.
After that we spoke with a druid's leader. She wanted to feed a child who stole some idol to her pet snake. We stopped her. That was our good deed of a year. That should make a few of our companions happy- namely Shadowheart and maybe Gale. To use those pawns well we need to them to like and admire our character. So to achieve this Griffith can't just be ruthless all the time. Sometimes we need to play a hero as well. And Griffith can play that role...when he chooses to do so. Also druids leader told us that refugees are no longer welcome in the grove and that we should lead them away.
Finally we spoke with a healer. But she did not have a cure for our parasites. At least this healer suggested that if we will find a missing druid Halsin he may be able to cure us. Shadowheart then said that she is afraid of wolves...and that she likes us. It seems that we are using her like our puppet well.
