    It's pretty much worthless in BG2, though. That wolf is weaker than most BG1 characters (if they're used properly of course ;) *with a nod to Olim*), so you can imagine how much it'd suck for a BG2 character. It sets your STR to 18 and your DEX to 17, as well as making your only weapon a piddling little 1d8 that counts as only a +1 weapon. Damn near impossible to hit (much less kill) anything in BG2 with that. It'd be a good way for olim to increase the difficulty in BG2, though.

    Thank you for the kind words Druger :)

    ********************
    The Silvertar special edition
    For the sake of anyone who'd read this, and don't want any Spoiler(s), I've posted the links to each of the SS's below, and provided a short description.
    If you don't want Spoilers, then do not read one!

    Foul beasts! Stay back, I tell you. Stay back, or – or else!
    Today with met none but a soon-to-be god! His name was Tiax (somehow I get the feeling that he'll land himself in an Asylum one day... :hmm:
    Foul Doppelganger's! Face my wrath.
    I shall have to teach Tiax some about aiming
    :doh: Still so frickin many of them!
    Oops! Hehe accidentally killed Garrick while confused.


    Thus far
    By Helm! What are These foul beasts? Within seconds, their devastating “spit” attack slew Eldoth. He stood absolutely helpless against them! Pure luck secured our victory in the end, of that I am sure.

    At the bridge to the great city of Baldur's Gate, we encountered a Flaming Fist mercenary. He wished to know from where we came. As I answered Candlekeep, he ordered us to wait where we stood, till his commander, a man named Scar, came to speak with us.

    Scar wanted us to investigate the Seven Suns, a trading coster, as the owner Jhasso, an old friend of Scar's, has been acting strange as of late. We agreed on this. The web's of the Iron Throne reaches far, as much do I know by now, and it would nay surprise me if they had a finger, or maybe the whole hand within the cookie can that is the Seven Suns!

    Just outside of the city gates we met a rather peculiar gnome named Quayle. As he was heading the same way as us, I agreed to take him along.

    Within the City, Elminster approached me once again. What is it with this man, I ask? Is he stalking me? Well, as usual he had some, though minor, advices for me: Scar and Duke Eltan was to be trusted. Guess that's always good to know.

    --Tonight I had another nightmare. Or was it a nightmare? I feel that these dreams try to tell me something, some- I don't know, something important, nonetheless. Yet do they fill me with feelings I'd never felt before. They feel good, yet why do I keep feeling that I should not feel good about feeling them? *sigh* I'm going in circles

    I decided to finally kick out Eldoth. He had served as the tool I needed through the mine, I'm positive that better allies than he can be found in Baldur's Gate (one bard is enough! Nuf's said :p ).

    WOW! I say... Today with met none but a soon-to-be god! I dared nought but to take him along, who would want him as enemy once he has ascended?

    A merchant within the Seven Suns told me that Jhasso had gone missing, and he knew not to where. Sound suspicious to me.

    Doppelgangers! These fouls creatures has overtaken the management of the Seven Suns. I bet the keeps Jhasso somewhere around here.
    I found Jhasso in the basement. Seems my theory was right, they needed to keep him so that they draw information out of him.

    Scar was more than happy to learn we had not only freed Jhasso, but dispatched the doppelganger invasion to boot! However, he had another task for us: Every night lately, people had gone missing. He suspects that the reason lies within the sewers, and would want us to go check it out.
    I'm soon going quite weary of this! When will we get some results concerning the Iron Throne? For now, however, I'm willingly to do his bidding, though only so much...

    Within the sewers we found a pack of Carrion Crawlers. Those are surly the many-legged creatures that Scar was talking about. However our master mind Quayle told us that he doubted they would have done this by themselves, someone must have trained them to enter the city.
    Tiax got of an Entangle spell, I shall have to teach him some about aiming one of the days :mad: .
    We got the beats lured out one by one with some effort. They managed to hold Quayle and Garrick, but we got them before the could get any serious hits in!
    :doh: Still so frickin many of them! Sigh, I guess it's back to work, then.

    We finally faced the Ogre Mage himself. Well, this could 'ave gone better! The Ogre got of a confusion spell before we could do anything! Though the Ogre himself went down easy enough, I accidentally killed Garrick :rolleyes:

    Scar was overjoyed as when we learned that the Ogre had been dealt with. He asked us to meet him outside, away from prying ears if we wanted to discuss the Iron Throne. Finally! Now we may have some answers.

    None other but the Grand Duke Eltan himself wished audience with us! If anyone could help us, it was the grand duke...
    Joyous day! Duke Eltan will pay us 2000Gp for breaking in into the Iron Throne Head Quarters, a thing we'd done sooner or later anyways!

    As we entered the Iron Throne, a scared man warned us that we should fly, and that the placed was filled with madness. Needless to say we didn't heed his warning all that much. I know something's rotten within the Iron Throne, which is why I came here to begin with.

    A guard approached us, asking what business we had within the Iron Throne. We told him we came from Sembia, and wanted to talk to the leaders. Unfortunately he didn't believe us. *sigh*
    We had to kill both him and the merchants within the entering hall - surly, we could not allow witnesses to live and warn the leaders!

    Dra'tan, a guard, warned us that one time he'd seen a man come down with brown eyes, as he spotted Dra'tan lookin' at him, he winked and suddenly his eyes went silver, and then mercury.
    I'd better heed his words, good fellow he was and is – one of the few within this cursed tower who can rightfully say they don't have to fear me.

    On the third floor another guard approached us. This time we tried to convince him we came from Comnyr... The result was exactly the same as last time.

    On our way upwards we'd learned that the leaders was on the fifth floor, so we prepared, said a prayer to Tiax, and went up....

    Shar is NOT a drow-godess, she is the evil Goddes of Darkness, Loss and Night's horrors, and eternal enemy of her good twin sister, Silvery Selune, Goddes of Moon, Stars, Good Lycanthropes, and Travelers. Read the in-game mini book called 'Sisters of Light and Darkness' to know about them, they are among the oldest gods, and mother(s) of Mystra, Selune also managed to bring life to Toril despite her vile sister's efforts.

    Anyway, your scripts look really bugged, why does Xan say 'Checkmate! At least, the witch is dead!' upon Sir Garrick's death? I think this must be what Edwin must say upon Minsc's witch's death. (what was her name? Dynahair or something?) I KNOW he hated that witch. But for what reason, I don't know. (do not tell me OK?)

    Does your Xan act like Edwin, and Safana like Viccy? Now this is a problem. At least, Xan was not evil IIRC from the lovely tutoriial of BG2.

    I was just wondering a little, is the story put on hold? I guess you are quite busy with the Item-pack, so i can understand if it is. :)

    I wouldn't say 'hold', whenever I get the time to do it, I play a little, and write a little. I just don't have enough for actually making a new post yet ;)

    Well, dunno this party might be dead for good (I've had and have way to many things to worry about for this to be of importance). Morover I don't think the last save-game exists anymore (though if I ever find it hidden on one of the CD-ROM's I used to save stuff when I last formatted my computer, then a resurrection may happen one o' the days).
