[Spoiler] Act 2 - Last Light Inn | Discussion (lemmy.world)

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.

So I managed to do it on my first attempt in Tactician, but I'm a veteran of WotR and Kingmaker's Unfair difficulty so I know when I have to focus a mage.

Karlach was clutch in this fight. I picked up GWM for her at 4 and kitted her out for move speed/momentum and wisdom saves. She is basically a juggernaut. Between GWM, Frenzy, Haste, and Reckless Attack she deals an average of 60-120 damage per round. There is a maul that applies the Chilled status on hit so he was never even able to heal and went down at the start of round 2. I did get kind of lucky though as she rolled well on initiative and landed two crits.
