Baldur's Gate 3: Pallock destroying goblins

-

In my first run as a bard, I killed many goblins in the temple and poisoned many outside it. So that meant there were quite a number of them left alive. 

I'm slowing down my bard's progress so as to allow Ban to catch up. He abandoned his first run which started about the same time as my bard run. To avoid spoilering him, I used earphones while playing my bard. Alternatively, I played my pallock (paladin + warlock or also known as lockadin by many players; the name pallock is an original invention by me iirc) which started about the same time as his second run. Naturally, his run is much further than my second run since I'm playing two playthroughs simultaneously.

In my pallock run, I killed all goblins in Blighted Village easily. I negotiated with the ogres and left the two lovebirds alone in the barn.

I didn't kill those between the village and the temple. As for those just outside the temple, I poisoned them. While my pallock was in conversation about the poisoning of the goblins' alcohol, I started positioning other characters, in case I fail the skill check. However, unexpectedly, when Gale got near a goblin, he started accusing him of the same thing too.

While the pallock passed her skill check, Gale failed his Detect Thought check and hence this fight:

 

I quickly disposed of Priestess Gut:


and her guard in the secret chamber below:


I wanted to clear only the area just outside the place where Halsin was imprisoned but accidentally dragged in Minthara:

 

Had easier time rescuing Halsin compared to my bard run:

 

I suspect the floating sphere near Minthara alerted nearby goblins and so Dror Ragzlin and gang were already hostile when I stepped into their area. I wanted to blow them up, like previously. Oh well.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i
