- riverside magic episode 01 the lets play podca (4): And good night. And welcome to the Let's Play podcast. My name's Tyler and we're back with some Baldurskate 3. Alright. So I've switched over to the controller. I just feel like I'm trying to make sh minimize as much noise as possible. You know, trying to get rid of the keyboard just to make this better. But yeah, we're gonna kick off. Last time we played, we we had killed some gnolls. got some good gear. But yeah, we're just trying to get to level four so we can multi-class and change everyone's shit and then possibly pick some new guys. But let's go this way. We got a bridge over here that's kinda destroyed. Can I jump? Yeah. just barely. Whoa, who the fuck is this? Some fucking guy just disappeared. Or appeared, I should say. What manner of place is this? A path to redemption? Or a road to damnation? Hard to say, for your journey is just beginning. What's with all the fucking riddles, bro? What would suit the occasion? Hm. The words to a lullaby, perhaps. The mouse smiled rightly. It outfoxed the cat. Then down came the claw. And that love. Was that? If someone this came up to me and we'll have to They do know how to write them in Cormir, don't they? Well met, I am Raphael. Very much. At your service. It's not every day one meets such a cavalier sinner as yourself. I'm a sinner. True bloody pleasure. Huh. Alright, so we got you're familiar with my work, pleasure, I'm the Dark Urge. Am I talking to the mouse or the cat? Pretty words if you want to threaten me, don't disguise it, walk away while you still have your legs to walk with. it's a pleasure, I'm the Dark Urge. yeah. Charmed, I'm sure, in more ways than one. We should have a chat, you and I, but not here. Quaint with the little scene is decidedly too middle of nowhere. For my tastes. Okay. So where are you gonna bring me? it the screen just flashed white. where the fuck did you just bring me? Okay, I'm my whole party is in some sort of middle of somewhere. We're in like some type of castle of some sort. that's what Karlik said. Nice so I could say nice decor. Can you be more specific than somewhere? Take me back now, reach for your weapons. can you be more specific than somewhere? A house of hope where the tired come to rest and the famished come to feed lavishly. They gotta go on but an insane spread on the church. After all, it might just be your last. what makes you say that? I'm getting tired of your games. Are they th are these theatrics leading somewhere? or I can ignore him and fill your plate. yeah, are these theatrics leading somewhere? Are you not entertained? Well, far be it from me to disappoint. Jesus Christ, this guy just turned into a goddamn devil. What's better than a devil you don't know? You do. Hambian. Am I a friend? Potentially. An adversary? Conceivably. But a savior. That's for certain. So you're gonna save us? Now I can draw your weapon. What makes you think I need saving? Why would you help me? I don't care what you are. I care what you want. Yeah, I don't care what you are, I care what you want. a mere trifle. How dear is one's soul, really? Of course, but let me venture an answer. It's worth very little with a tadpole in your head. One skull, two tenants, and no solution in sight. I could fix it all like That was that so? So this guy can get rid of my tadpole. I'll do anything to get rid of the tadpole. I need time to think this over. You're mad if you think I'll make a deal with the devil. Shit, I'll just say it I don't know. Do I make a deal with the devil here, which possibly is gonna fuck me? Or maybe he'll give me powers. Maybe it won't be so bad after all, actually. So I'll do anything to get rid of this tadpole. that's disappointing. I prefer it when my clients put up a fight. Only to realize victory was never an option. Well then. Try to cure yourself. Shop around, beg, borrow, and steal. Exhaust every possibility until none are left. And when hope has been whittled back. Despair. That's when you'll come knocking on my Is that so? Why can't I just pay the iron price to you? That's what separates us from the devil's soldier. They think our greatest strength is a weakness. Interesting. And if I do want to take this deal, how would I find you? I'll have the last laugh in the end. Take me back after that. I never want to see you again. I'll rip out your mocking tongue. yeah, how do I find you? I'll be around watching you. Squirm like a tadpole through a nice juicy brain. All those pretty little symptoms sundering skin, dissolving guts, they haven't manifested yet, have they open maybe I switched my characters to see if maybe if I can like steal some shit while I'm here, but I cannot. I'll be there when it runs out. and then it the screen flashes again and I'm I'm back. Alright. let's check this map here real quick. I actually do need to cross this bridge. Okay, I thought I didn't. I'm all turned around here. Alright, we're jumping back across the bridge. Yeah, you can't beat it. Well, Shutterheart. Or I went to I don't know where I'm from. I'd have agreed with you. Watch We found a little pile of dirt. Nothing in my recollection anyway. Let's see what we got here. Fifty two gold, a gold ingot, and two thieves tools. I mean that's pretty good. Alright, we're continuing down the path. We got like some sort of Building here. a shabby wooden door. Is that the only way into this place? Ooh, there's a red. how do I stealth it with the controller? Sorry folks, I'm just trying to get used to the controller. I'm not seeing stealth. Hmm. No stealth, stealth, stealth, stealth, stealth. Gosh darn it. Well It's gotta be in these actions here. Maybe I need to customize it. Set spot. There we go. wait, it was in there. Well, the rest of my group is not, so that's kind of annoying that I can't figure it out. I'll have to look it up look it up after this episode. Still nothing here. Alright, so we just got a door here. We are going to Wait, I did group select. let's touch me. Bring out a starian so that way we can unlock this door. Ooh, there's like a sleeping goblin or something over there that's read on the map. alright, let's see what's inside this door here. Open up. As you approach, a guttural scream and a succession of quick bangs rattle the door. Looks like some of the fucking monster or something. Someone or something is having a bit of fun. Alright, so we can either open the door, hello, is anybody in there or leave. Let's just open the fucking door. Let's see who's in here bangin'. Leave it. Whoever's inside doesn't want an audience, and I don't want to fight. Well fuck you, Shadowheart. It's not about what you want. Open the door anyways. we're going in. Shut a heart my goodness. What the hell are you doing? There was a hobgoblin, fucking a fucking ogre. I apologize, I didn't mean to up interrupt. You're making a lot of noise. I wanted to join the fun. What the fuck? Back away slowly. apologies, I didn't mean to interrupt. Yeah, let's go with let's go with that one. Smash Holy fuck, this bitch is huge. SMSH! Yo! Jeez. Yikes. Jeez. Don't disturb a half ogre in the making. wait. It's Dark Urge, he's still stealthed. So we're gonna have him go this way. And then we're gonna do actions. We're going to do a witch bolt. We're gonna grab that. And we're gonna blast on the ogre. which bolt A. Alright. So Shadow I think I what did I head for? I dealt seven no eight damage. Alright, so we got a giant fucking What even is this? Is there a way to examine? Yeah, so it's a d a fucking ogre. And then a hopgoblin. But yeah, I cannot I wonder what I wonder what type of babies that makes between the two of You know, like what the protect me. Alright, Shadow Heart. We're gonna have you cast what type of spell do we got here? We have Sacred Flame, Guidance, Resistance. Maybe we put that on Karlac resistance. But I think we're just gonna do fucking firebolt. who are we gonna hit? We're gonna hit the ogre again. hit? Yes, hits for five damage. That's what I'm talking about. Alright. that's gonna be the end of return for shadow. We got Star. Sneak attack. no way he can sneak, so main attack seventy percent chance to hit. Hitting the ogre for five and four damage. And then we can't do the offhanded attack, so we'll end the damage. Still breathing, despite everything. Nothing else that Dark Urge can do, so we'll end the turn as well. It's going to be the Get Out! damn, he hit the fucking Bugbear. Wow. It's not a hill giant or whatever. What the fuck it would it's a bugbear. The Bugbear just hit a starian for eight and then nine. And then the ogre hit a starian for eleven and knocked him unconscious. Alright, so it is Karlak's turn, so we're gonna go into a rage. Or frenzy, they call it. And we're we're getting in here. It is. all right, we're just gonna do a range attack then I guess onto the ogre. Hit her for an eleven. That's what I'm talking about. Alright, next up is Shadowheart. We're gonna move Shadowheart up so that way she can heal a starion. Get him off the floor. Healing word. Pick up our dear friend. Heal the Starian for seven damage. I mean it's for seven. That's good. and then we're gonna do firebolt on the ogre again. Six damage. end the turn. My alarm going off, sorry. Alright, Astarian can can he do anything? He can just do an offhanded attack. 80%. Hits the ogre for one damage. end turn. F easy. Dark urge. We're gonna do witch bolt. But is there a way to keep doing it? I'm confused. Concentration. I just want to put the damage activate Witch Bolt. There we go. I think that didn't do anything, so I I really think I just wasted a turn there. I don't know how I fucked that up. Alright, it is the bugbear he he went up and attacked Karlac for one three. The ogre's running away. Ogre ran away. Astarian was able to do four damage, and then the ogre ran up to Shadow Heart and missed. It is Karlak's turn. So we're gonna bust out the sword. Do we do Frenzy Strike? Well that's gonna provoke an opportunity attack. I think we do it anyways. We're gonna do the frenzy attack on the bugbear. Hit for sixteen damage and now we're gonna do the main weapon attack. Did twelve damage. And killed them. Holy shit. Alright, it is Shadow Heart's turn. We're going to do Firebolt. 30% chance to hit. Misses. That's typical. Main weapon attack. Alright, End turn. Astarian. Can I do a sneak attack from behind? yeah, eighty percent chance. Definitely not, but they are dead. Alright, let's go loot these sons of bitches. Whoa, there's a lot of pile of bones in here. Do you think she fucks these people till they die? Morning Star and two javelins on the s Shouldn't HB Buke Ugh I need to rest. Sunset can't come quickly enough. Upper city, huh? Swish. Never spent much time there myself. I would salute this bugbear or hasn't I'll happily take you if we survive this bug's banquet. Sounds good. I've always been curious what a Patriar looks like. Okay, so that's how you like search the area. I was trying to figure out like the button to press to like mass search because it's a little bit harder with It being controller versus the keyboard, obviously. These shelves don't have shit. Broken cup and I just broke that. Alright, well I don't think there's anything else is anything else is in here, so let's continue on the path. Let's do a little bit of a quick save there. You save save in the game. group. Keep it together. I wish there I need to like quickly look up how to group hide. action no. There's gotta be a fucking way to hide as a group. Soft and then a whisper. Just not screened. So these goblins aren't exactly house proud as Occupy's gun. Alright, so this guy. But hey, we can throw up a few buckles of wine somewhere. Fuck, it's gonna be his turn right away. Is there anything else I can do? Surprised, okay, good, good, good. Shadow Heart, 70% chance to hit, and killed them. That's what I'm talking about. We killed the bugbear. He had two javelins and a morning star as well. Search this area. Some spiced wine, take that. some more alcohol. Some more alcohol. This guy was fucked up. and then there's a wooden crate that they're like digging into the earth. Eighteen gold. What about this one? Nothing. Alright, let's get the fuck out of here. Alright, let's continue on the path. we're coming up to a house here. Saloon Knight Necklace. Something's waiting up ahead. We're gonna take this necklace though. Not to my taste, certainly. Somebody's fucking talkin' bird's nest. Huh. So that must mean we can get on the roof if there's a bird's nest, right? Yeah, gotta be. Alright, let's see what we got going on over here.

Why are you doing this? I don't want to interfere. I'm just passing by. Release the gnome at once. let me rephrase that. Why are you doing this? Cause it makes me laugh. Alrighty then. I mean, okay. it does look funny, I'll admit. Mind if I stay and watch a while? Fun is over, release the gnome at once. release the gnome because you might have some shit that I need. You want this little cave lurking what's it? Find your o. He's ours! As the symbol glows, power. He's got the absolute symbol on him. Authority.

I fear he's in trouble. See this? I gave it to him years ago before I left home. I found it around the neck of a thug in the lower city. It was speckled with blood. My friend nowhere to be found. But I still have hope. I have reason to believe he's in the underdark. Hopefully I'll pick up his trail from there. Maybe we could On that note Maybe we can like take the question.
