Entering Jonas, an elven cleric-thief, and follower of Tymora, goddess of luck. "One should be bold, for to be bold is to live. A brave heart and willingness to take risks beat out carefully wrought plans nine times out of ten."
With that approach, he's probably not going to meet Arcadia...
And in fact.... a willingness to take risks is not in the best interest of a no-reload character. Jonas inadvertantly walked into Sendai... and found his chest full of arrows. And that was that.
Kathryn (a neutral evil mage-thief) decided that Winthrop really didn't have much of a sense of humor. After she killed him in cold blood, Gorion didn't look kindly upon her and her run ended at his hands on the steps of Candlekeep. Next up is...

Below an update on Euphonia, in a format I don't really like. Golden28 asked me to paste screenshots into my posts, but there were simply too many, hence the spoiler tags (and, in order for those spoiler tags to work, the absence of paragraphs). I'll try to make shorter updates...
Euphonia, Half-Elven Skald (2nd update)
Up north the girls helped farmer Wenric reclaim his land from Zombies, which made Euph obtain level 4 and gain her first level 2 spell. She successfully copied Invisibility into her spellbook, and used that spell for a heist together with Imo. In the Lighthouse Area, Euphonia cast Invisibility on Imoen, after which the two girls rested. The next day, Euphonia cast invisibility on herself, and with her best friend (who was still invisible herself) she snuck past groups of Sirines and entered Black Alaric's cave. There, Imoen disarmed four traps, and blocked a narrow path so that Euphonia could take down hostile Golems with her returning Frost Dart +1.
The rogues then traveled eastward toward Mutamin's garden, with a scroll of PfPetrification they had bought at the Nashkel Carnival. Euphonia told Imoen to stay back, protected herself with the scroll, and with Fluister she went Basilisk hunting. Fluister's immunity to petrification was reeally helpful in keeping the Basilisks busy, so that Euph didn't have to run around all the time to create space for ranged attacks. Thus the real threat weren't the Basilisks but Mutamin. Euphonia decided to test the Wand of Paralyzation on the Gnome; it worked like a charm. With some moving around she managed to slay Mutamin with her dart, and after that, her last two Basilisks.
The girls welcomed two new members into their ranks: Ajantis, a Cavalier squire, joined north of the FAI, and at the Nashkel Carnival Branwen, a Battleguard of Tempus, was depetrified and recruited. Ajantis received a Helm of Infravision (Neira) and a Cloak of Protection +1 (stolen by Imoen from Wenric's home). Branwen was given a Helm of Charm Protection (bought at Feldepost's) and a suit of Ankheg armor the girls had found in Nashkel. The party of four's first feat was to dispatch Bassilus. Branwen immediately proved her worth in that encounter, by Silencing the priest, allowing an easy kill.
The party's next adventures took place in the Cloudpeaks, where Sendai, Alexander and Delgod made the mistake of attacking the party,
Further west the party dealt with Half-Ogres, Gnolls and Xvarts, resulting in the acquisition of Gauntlets of Dexterity (for Ajantis) and a Charisma tome. The adventurers cleared a Gnoll Stronghold to rescue a female wizard named Dynaheir.
During his first adventure with the party, on the northern Sword Coast, Kivan was interrupted by Jozzi Seasnake, just when the quintet was busy killing Droth the Ogre Mage (after an effective Stinking Cloud cast by Euphonia).
In the Wilderness Lake area the party slew four Half-Ogres (which would yield Branwen a Medium Shield +1 from Bjornin),
Next on the menu were the Nashkel Mines. The opposition on the third level was overwhelming, especially on the bridge,
Back on the surface, in the Valley of the Tombs, the party antagonized Narcillicus, summoner of slimes and jellies. He charmed Imoen before Branwen dispelled his buffs (but not the Charm effect on Imoen).
Kathryn (a neutral evil mage-thief) decided that Winthrop really didn't have much of a sense of humor. After she killed him in cold blood, Gorion didn't look kindly upon her and her run ended at his hands on the steps of Candlekeep. Next up is...
This should be a meme
or it could be
^^ 
Thankfully there's also some good news. Not going to give anything away though... 
It was almost an ordinary day inside Candlekeep; almost ordinary except for my dad, Gorion telling me that we were leaving tonight. Leaving why, I asked; his answer was brief: Candlekeep was no longer a sanctuary for us. A sanctuary from what? He wouldn't say, though he did give me a handful of gold and tell me to buy whatever necessities I might need for an extended journey.
My head was swimming with unanswered questions as I entered the Inn and made some purchases from Winthrop. A bunch of darts, a short sword to give to my friend, Imoen, as a parting gift (I'd 'accidentally' broken hers a few days back while using it to pry open a bottle of cherries) and a suit of studded leather she'd been drooling over for a month or more.
My shopping done, I made my way around the bailey, saying my goodbyes and tying up a few loose ends here and there, like finding Phylidia's book (she's so absent minded she'd forget her head if it weren't screwed tight) and smashing rats for the grumpy old dwarf who's name I can never remember. Along the way, I ran into Drepen (the fine hunk of man flesh that he is) and gave him a potion to feed to his sick cow (you know, I'm almost ready to believe the rumors that have been flying around about him and that cow...). I bumped into the warden as well, delivered a bunch of bolts to him in exchange for (what he called) a magic dagger (and if it really did kill a hobo with one blow, then I'm more than happy to have it, no matter if it looks old and beat up).
The thought crossed my mind to say farewell to the priest, and so went to his quarters. As soon as I stepped through the door, a figure lunged from the shadows; a bright glimmer from his hand told me that he was armed. Instinctively, I shouted the words for a blindness spell, happily it took hold before my would be assassin could skewer me. Half of me wanted to get the heck out of there, the other half was furious that this buffoon, who was now flailing wildly at the air, had tried to stab me. That other half won over, so I filled the guy full of darts.
I was more than a little shaken at this turn of events and ran to see Imoen. She advised me to 'get the (expletive deleted) out of here, quick'. I agreed, shoved the short sword and armor at her and ran to find Dad.
About halfway across the bailey, a wave of dread washed over me. I had almost been murdered. I needed to stop and sit down somewhere in private and maybe have a good cry. The bunkhouse was nearby, and it was always deserted at that time of day, so I went in and sat down on one of the bunks. I was about to put my head in my hands and weep when I felt something cold and hard slam into my back. I lurched off of the bed with a cry of pain and shock as drops of crimson liquid flew. It was blood. MY blood. I screamed, turned to see another shadowy figure standing behind the bed on which I had been sitting just moments before. He asked how I liked being a stuck pig. I asked how he liked being a blind (word that's synonymous with donkey). My second blindness spell took hold and I eagerly filled the turd-burgler with more of my darts.
I was still bleeding when I finally found Dad on the steps of the library. I fell into his arms and he healed me, told me we were leaving now. I didn't protest. I'd nearly been murdered twice. I wanted to be anywhere else but there.
Dad and I walked until nightfall. I expected him to make camp, but he did not, saying that we needed to get to shelter before they could catch up to us. They who? He wouldn't tell me, only said that he'd explain once we were in a safe place.
Just as he answered, I caught sight of a group of figures on the road ahead. Dad told me to run. I argued, said I could help. I believed my words right up to the point that an arrow of fire scorched it's way into my flesh. Then, I ran, not even paying attention to where I was going. I ran until daybreak.
Imoen found me lost and alone on the road, sitting on a stump and weeping silently. I was only slightly surprised to see her, we'd been nearly inseparable friends for a decade or more. She tried to reassure me that there was no way Dad could have been killed by a bunch of low grade crooks; her words gave me some relief, enough to wander back to the north to see what had become of Dad and his attackers.
We found his hacked remains sprawled in the middle of a clearing.
It was a while before I was ready to move on. Gorion had been the only father I had known, and now he was dead, butchered like a common dog. Imoen and I buried him in a shallow grave, then set out, our destination the Friendly Arm Inn.
After about five minutes of travel, we saw a pair of figures approaching us on the road. I was fearful that the assassins from the last night had returned to finish the job, at least until I noticed that both of the people approaching were women, and that one was a gnome and the other a half orc. The details of the people who had jumped us were fuzzy in my head, but I was certain that there hadn't been either a gnome or a half orc amongst them.
The gnome (who seemed to be the leader of the pair) hailed us in a friendly fashion; Imoen and I made our way over to her. She said her name was Shealyn and introduced her half orc companion as Vanja. Shealyn asked where we were headed; she looked me over as I told her our destination, and after she asked if we were in any trouble. I nodded meekly, then broke down in tears. We camped there on the road that night as I told Shea and Vanja my story.
Once I had finished, Vanja's heavy, but gentle hand came to rest on my shoulder. Her voice was hard as she told me that she and Shea were going to join us. The fools who had killed my father were going to pay dearly for what they had done. Shea nodded in agreement. Imoen was more than happy to have the friendly duo join us, and in truth, so was I.

It was time to try & bring this thing to a conclusion & I was ready to go for the jugular, no matter what lay ahead. Leaving Ulgoth’s Beard behind, I led us to Wyrm’s Crossing before having Quayle cast Invisibility 10’ Radius on all of us so that we could move thru BG undetected. After a visit to Sorcerous Sundries & a rest after the journey from UB, my next stop was back to the Flaming Fist Headquarters. Using Invisibility 10’ Radius we went directly in, past the FFs that were milling around & upstairs where we found Duke Eltan lying ill in bed being treated by some guy I’d never seen. I had Branwen, still invisible, try to cast Cure Disease on the Duke. When she did, the man who’d been treating him became a Greater Doppelganger & died his trouble. At the Dukes request, we secreted him to the Harbormaster who took him into his care.
The Duke gave us damning documents that laid out Sarevok’s true intentions & told us to find the assassin’s Slythe & Kristen in the Undercellars. Not knowing where these were, we took a shot that we’d find them in the sewers. Sure enough, we wound around in them until we finally walked right into a thriving brothel. We were invisible, as usual, so we were able to scout the entire place w/o notice but we noticed Slythe although we didn’t see Kristen. I finally decided to reveal myself to Slythe which brought Kristen out of her own invisibility. As soon as Slythe reacted we pummeled him. Kristen put up a better fight than her husband but Imoen’s Magic Missiles & Arrows of Biting & Branwen Dispel Magic allowed us to get to her & take her out. She’d gotten off a Cloudkill spell but before it had much affect Branwen countered w/ Zone of Sweet Air.
BATTLE IN THE UNDERCELLAR
With invitations to the coronation of Sarevok as a new Duke, in place of Entar Silvershield who’d been assassinated by Slythe & Kristen, I led us to the Ducal Palace the following day. I planned to expose Sarevok for who he really is & what he intends using the documents provided by Duke Eltan. Only one of us, Imoen approached the guard & presented our invitations, the rest being invisible. Once we went inside, Imoen used her innate Invisibility so that we could move around undetected. The ceremony began & then an argument broke out between Duke Belt & Sarevok when Sarevok immediately overstepped him bounds. Suddenly, ~ eight Greater Doppelgangers shape changed from what had appeared to be nobles, aslo there for the coronation. Duke Belt, Duchess Liia & about 12 Flaming Fist Mercenaries, joined us in destroying the Greater Doppelganger’s before suddenly, @ the death of the last, Sarevok lost his temper & it was on. Unfortunately, he was teleported out before we could finish him.
BATTLE IN THE DUCAL PALACE
Duke Belt knew where Sarevok would go & he aided us in chasing him by teleporting us to his trail. We ended up in the local Thieves’ Guild (not Imoen’s type, Charming Rogue’s, but just a motley crew of thieves). We spoke to one of them, who told us that Sarevok had just torn thru & headed into the Thieves’ Maze. Wasting no time, we took off after him but were far behind & had to fight thru two Green Slimes, two Mustard Jelly’s, two Ochre Jellies, two Grey Ooze; two Doom Guards; three Skeleton Warriors; a Battle Horror & a Skeleton Warrior before we found where Sarevok had exited the maze. His mentor, now cast aside, lay wounded at the door he escaped thru. Winski, by name, told me of my relationship to Sarevok & laid out his plans for me. We left Winski alive & headed down to a city beneath the city, aptly named The Undercity. We patrolled the entire place, quickly finding the building that had to be where Sarevok was holed up. The gig was up & he had nowhere to go. As we performed our reconnaissance, we ran across & killed, 16 Ghasts; 10 Skeleton’s w/Composite Longbows; three Ghouls; six Skeleton’s w/Mace & Buckler; six Skeleton’s w/Warhammer & Buckler; four Skelton Warriors, three w/Two-Handed Swords, one w/Composite Longbow & Arrows of Ice. During this last battle, Ajantis was killed by the last one standing & Branwen cast Raise Dead on him, then we healed him the best we could. Wounded, we wanted to rest in place but I knew we’d be better off closer to the exit where we’d come in just in case something attacked our weakened group while resting (Note: I knew I was walking us into a tough fight, all wounded, but what I did is what I would have done normally, so I’d be using foreknowledge to save myself if I rested elsewhere – I always rest where we can get off the map if necessary). So we headed that way & we came across Iron Throne Assassin’s who’d been sent for Sarevok but decided to try us on first. There were two warriors in Plate Mail; a Rogue type; an Ogre & two Mages. One of them, was shooting Arrows of Detonation & w/the explosion, he took out Quail & a still weakened Ajantis. After that, we won the battle relatively easily with help from Branwen’s Silence 10’ Radius & Dispel Magic spells reducing the threat of the two mages. Once the battle was over, we collected up our fallen comrades’ equipment & headed back to the city to rest & allow Branwen to cast Raise Dead on them. On the way, a warrior named Tamako approached us as we passed Sorcerous Sundries (w/o Quayle we weren’t invisible – Imoen has Invisibility 10’ Radius but had already used it so we walked exposed). Tamako wanted to tell us something but wouldn’t spill the beans just yet, inviting me to meet her later @ the FF HQs. After Branwen’s had done her work & we’d rested, I headed there & talked w/her while everyone else stood near, invisible. Evidently she was Sarevok’s lover & wanted to rescue him from his mad desire to become the God of Murder & make him ‘Sarevok the man’, so she could love him & care for him. She wanted me to promise not to kill him & I said I’d do my best.
QUAYLE & BRANWEN BICKERING - QUAYLE WINS THIS ROUND
WHATEVER HAPPENED, I KNEW THIS WAS GOODBYE
After that, I wasted no time getting back to the Thieves’ Maze & back to the Undercity where we finished our reconnaissance external to the building killing six more Skeleton’s w/Warhammer & Buckler & three Ghouls before we ran into Tamako again…but she was hostile this time. We killed her easily.
Key Event: It was time to attack the Temple of Bhaal as it turned out to be. We rested nearby, & then prepared for our assault. Knowing what I thought lay beyond the door we prepared best we could, exactly like we did when we killed the Demon Knight. Spells, potions, innate abilities, whatever we had that could aid each other or ourselves we tried to don before we entered. Unfortunately, we pussyfooted around & lost some of our protections before the battle ever began. Imoen, invisible, as were we all, slipped around to the left to see what lay ahead but she wasn’t focusing on traps & set off a Lightning Bolt that hurt her pretty badly. She then backed off & started focusing on traps but even w/her skill, she couldn’t Remove Traps on a bunch of them that were spread around a huge Symbol of Bhaal that was in the center of the room. Imoen, went forward again, invisible & still injured. She made eye contact w/ Saravok & he could obviously Detect Invisibility b/c he called her out. She responded by firing an Arrow of Piercing that missed but the fight was on. Sarevok called to “Angelo, Tazok & (someone else)” & suddenly it was a little warm in there – really. One of them cast Web & another Cloudkill but all of us, except Quayle, got away. Quayle was injured & fell unconscious. I decided to fight my half-brother & I asked Minsc to go after the mages in the Web w/Spider’s Bane. Branwen managed to cast Dispel magic & Silence 15’ Radius, I think but I was focused on Sarevok & next I noticed she, Imoen, Quayle & Ajantis were all so badly wounded they’d slipped into unconscious from loss of blood. It was up to Minsk & I to finish the deal. I was landing solid blows against Sarevok while he wasn’t able to reciprocate. Our biggest problem was that there was, I guess, a Warrior/Mage that was protected in a spell & firing Arrows of Detonation & another kind that I thought was electricity based as it looked like Minsc was getting hit by Lightning Bolts but they didn’t to bounce around after…luckily w/his Boots of Grounding, Minsc is very resistant to lightning. I’m pretty much resistant to fire w/my Ring of Protection from Fire & Helm of Defense. I kept overpowering Sarevok & had landed four or five solid blows & he was weakening slowly but surely. Minsc separated from the fight a bit to quaff Potions of Healing, & while successful, he also woke up a Battle Horror in the corner. After healing a bit, he avoided the Battle Horror & came back over to aid in the main fight. He still couldn’t land much on the Warrior/Mage so I hollered @ him to help me w/Sarevok. Tazok was standing beside me but couldn’t land a blade on me which allowed me to continue all my focus on Sarevok. Minsc & I pounded away & finally killed Sarevok!!! As soon as we did Tazok headed for the door & when I looked up the Warrior/Mage & his cohort were dead too. We offed the Battle Horror, collected everything from our fallen that Minsc & I could carry & headed back to the city to Raise Branwen so she could Raise the others, which she did.
FINAL BATTLE WITH SAREVOK
FINISHING THE LAST ENEMY, A BATTLE HORROR
This will be my last journal for a while. Imoen & I are headed south to Athkatla & I Minsc is going to join us rather than return to Rasheman. Ajantis will travel w/us too, as he to go back to The Order of the Radiant Heart to report completion of his mission to prove himself as a Paladin by defeating the Bandit’s in & around Baldur’s Gate. He did a whole lot more than that. Quayle, I think, is going to Athkatla also but I don’t expect him to stay with us once we get there. He says he has a niece there that he needs to spend some time with. Funny, that doesn’t seem like him @ all but family changes us & he obviously misses her. Sadly, Branwen decided, not unexpectedly, to return to her home of Seawolf in the Norheim Isles. I’ll miss my former lover & battle partner.
Treasure of Note: (Final Purse = 6,293 gold) Armor/Weapons: Short Sword of Backstabbing (Imoen); Helm of Charm Protection (Ajantis); Full Plate Armor (Ajantis); Gems/Jewelry/Gold: Black Opal; Potions: Scrolls: Cone of Cold, Fireball
Current Disposition: Resting, one last time, at out little inn in S BG.
Next Steps: Travel to Amn, to Athkatla & take some time to recuperate. We’ve been on the road over a year since I left Baldur’s Gate w/Gorion.
Level Up: As the final blow fell on Sarevok, Minsc suddenly & clearly improved himself to a whole other level as a Barbarian (9).

FINALLY! After probably four years of trying to a 'completionist no-reload' as Blackraven coined it, I have finally done so. Gawain turned over every stone from the Nashkel Mines north to Ulgoth's beard (including Durlag's Tower, Ice Island & the rough Isle of Balduran) & everything east to west from Gullykin/Firewine's to the Lighthouse.
I AM SO PUMPED!
Awesome work CKT! Congratulations!
That was a truly outstanding BG1 run. It's has opened my mind to the possibilities of BG1 play. I often find myself rushing through BG1, in the interest of getting to BG2, but with Gawain you've shown just how deep and rich and satisfying BG1 game play can be.
Even if Gawain doesn't continue on to BG2, his run will have a special place in my memory. It gets my vote for best BG1 run in the thread's history. I mean that.
Congratulations again!
Cheers,
A.

Congratulations CKT! No-reload of TotSC content is no joke (large mass of characters have died in that content), as Alesia says that does make your run stand out.
Wow, CKT. After so many days, here I am, drinking my coffee and smoking my cigar (remember, I know my priorites! ) and what do I see - it's done! Exellent run, grats! Have fun in BG2, whenever you feel like continuing your game.
Congratulation CKT, awesome completionist run.
Congratulation, CKT! Outstanding run!
Well done, Golden! Safe travels in Amn.
LOL Minsc is such a hero if you look at the last two succesful bg1 runs!!!
Good stuff Golden and particular congratulations to CKT! Always a nice way to finish as well with dead bodies piled all around as your big size 10s stamp down on Sarevok in triumph .
@ B_V why is it that I suddenly feel as though I must be an ultra-cautious type .
CKT I already congratulated you over at the BG Forums on your fantastic performance with Sir Gawain, but once more: hats off to you!
ou told me you would take your knight into SoA as well. I was wondering: have you played any BG2 as of late? If not, will you just barge in with Sir Gawain, or will you first do some testing? In my experience SCS Irenicus Dungeon (without most of your gear) is one tricky dungeon, so please be careful.
Golden28 I'm very glad that I can congratulate you as well! Beating SCS Sarevok and co, without knowing very well what you had to expect, is top-class. My compliments, and best wishes for Eren in Amn!
Nishiki, I had missed your post. Welcome to the forum, and best of luck with your trio!
Nice writing btw, thank you for sharing your tale
Congratulations... *takes hat helm off and bows to CKT*

Dyara, elven Fighter/Mage/Thief - take 12/13 (update 8)
Day 34 (5 Kythorn) - Gullykin
After buying some elixir of health from the temple of Yondella Dyara went north to Muntamin's Garden. Carefully she scouted the area for remaining baslilisks but there were none, just some dead gnolls and the group of Kirian.
Day 35 (6 Kythorn)
Dyara tried to set a snare but failed - twice. Before approaching the group Dyara made a few preparations and summoned some wolves.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT & CONGRATULATIONS.
I NEVER KNEW WHAT THAT FELT LIKE BEFORE SO THIS IS SPECIAL TO ME AS YOU ARE ALL THE FOLKS I LOOK UP TO WHEN IT COMES TO NEGOTIATING THIS WONDERFUL GAME.
YES, IT'S ON TO SOA/TOB FROM HERE. UNFORTUNATELY, I COULDN'T GET BGII DISK NUMBER 2 TO READ IN MY DRIVE YESTERDAY BUT THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING B/C I HAVE TO WORK ON THE FANTASY BASEBALL LEAGUE I RUN TODAY & NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY RIGHT NOW GIVES ME TIME TO DO THAT. I PROBABLY NEED TO SLOW DOWN & TAKE A BREATH BEFORE I GO & GET MYSELF KILLED BY THE MEPHIT'S IN THE FIRST ROOM. LOL
I'M PLAYING AROUND W/THE IDEA OF 'PUTTING' OUR BG/TOTSC EQUIPMENT IN THAT FIRST ROOM - I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE QUESTIONABLE. I PROBABLY WON'T THOUGH B/C, SINCE I REMOVED THE EXPERIENCE POINT CAP IN BG I I'LL BE STARTING W/AN 11TH LEVEL THIEF & A 9TH LEVEL BARBARIAN & A 9TH LEVEL FIGHTER. I THINK THAT OFFSET'S THE EQUIPMENT SHORTCOMINGS.
I WILL AVOID JAHEIRA SINCE i GOT HER CHUNKED IN BGI SO SHE COULDN'T BE THERE. IT WOULD BE NICE IF I COOULD PUT ANOTHER OF MY TEAM IN THAT CELL BUT THAT WOULD BE BEYOND MY SKILL LEVEL, SO I'LL JUST GO W/IMOEN, MINSC & GAWAIN. PICKING UP YOSHI WILL HELP...I'M GOING TO MOD HIM AS A NINJA. PLUS THAT OPENS UP AN EXTRA SLOT FOR AN NPC. ONE ALWAYS GOES TO NALIA AS I LOVE GETTING THE KEYS TO
D'ARNESE KEEP. WHEN IMOEN GET'S TAKEN I'LL LIKELY SLIDE ANOMEN & KELDORN INTO THE OTHER TWO SLOTS...
WE'LL SEE. I'VE ALWAYS HAD PRETTY GOOD SUCCESS IN SOA/TOB I'LL SEE YA'LL OVER THERE SOON!
