SOUTH BEREGOST ROAD
Message for Mirianne
Now I go to a house there's towards the north and east. Inside is Mirianne, who's distressed because she's not yet received a long awaited message from her husband.
Now I head to the area to the south. A little ahead on the road will be a rather snarky little boy named Shelligh. I then touch the east edge of the area in order to reveal Ulcaster on the world map.
Further south along the road will be two Ogrillons. I take the cautious approach here. Kivan scouts out their location, and then Jaheira casts Entangle just beyond their 'fog of war'. I then shoot them down. They were apparently around the rotting body of a dead Halfling. And one of them leaves behind the message that Mirianne is waiting for.
However, I continue west with two more battles. One of them is against a few Hobgoblins that I win casually after a Sleep spell. The next battle, further west, involves a trio of Ghouls by themselves. There will come a time when the party is high-level enough and has good enough equipment to casually swat down Ghouls at will, but that time is not now. I still have to be careful. I have Jaheira, Kivan, and Imoen, concentrate missile fire on the foremost Ghoul until it is brought down, and then another one. By the time the last Ghoul closes the distance it is by itself, and I then kill it in melee.
I now leave the area by the west edge in order to expose another wilderness area on the world map, and then head back to Beregost. I bring the message to Mirianne for a +1 to reputation, some xp, and a Ring of Protection +1. Avastrian wears the ring until he finds a better one.
Zhurlong's Boots of Stealth
I then return to the road south of Beregost. I then go about halfway south down the road, but then veer off to the left, and past a small lake. The next battle is against a pair of Hobgoblin Elites and a trio of Ghouls that are very close to each other. This battle can be difficult because it is next to impossible to deal with one group at a time. Also, Hobgoblin Elites can poison with their arrows. So I have Khalid go out ahead, while keeping Avastrian and Imoen well back. Khalid absorbs the missile fire, and then Jaheira comes up and casts Entangle. Her, Kivan, and Imoen then open fire on the Hobgoblin Elites, killing them one at a time. The party then advances forward, bringing the Ghouls into view. But then the Ghouls themselves get caught in the Entangle, allowing my archers the luxury of shooting them down as well.
I then continue south, and run into another trio of Ghouls. And again I use the strategy of shooting down one or two of them before any remaining ones can close the distance.
I continue west and then run into the Hobgoblins who stole Zhurlong's boots. The telltale sign these are the ones that have the boots is the fact that they have different colors. A simple Sleep spell works, and then I pick up the Boots of Stealth (+20% to Move Silently, +15% to Hide in Shadows). These will be Kivan's boots for the rest of the game and will help him in his scouting role.
I continue on a little to the northwest and find a cave entrance. A crate inside the cave has some gold, and 5 Potions of Healing.
Overzealous Flaming Fists
A fairly simple video, I talk some Flaming Fist Mercenaries out of trying to arrest me. I then head south for another casual fight against a bunch of Gibberlings.
Now I head to the North Nashkel Road.
