Though the Troupe cut down the Blacktalons guarding the Iron Throne’s mine, only half of them made it out alive. Beaten, weary, and half-dead in more ways than one, they retreat to the Temple of Wisdom in the Friendly Arm to raise the fallen.
Let’s Play: Baldur’s Gate
I play a heavily modded version of the Baldur’s Gate Trilogy to see how crazy things get.
Assault on the Iron Throne Mine
Aegon and the Troupe have finally located the Iron Throne’s Mine within the Cloakwood. After scouting the area, they learned there was only one way in. They marched through the front gates to find heavily armed bandits waiting for them.
No Other Way But Forwards
Aegon and the Troupe have discovered the Iron Throne’s Mine in the Cloakwood. Protected by a motte and bailey, they scout the surrounding area for and other ways of entry. However, it’s looking more likely they will have to assault the mine head on.
Motte and Bailey Fortress
Deep into the Cloakwood, Aegon and the Troupe are getting close to the Iron Throne’s mine. Accosted by Blacktalons and wyverns, the troupe now have to fight their way through, to find the mine. To find Tazok. To find Gorion’s murderer.
Bridge of Many Encounters
As they seek out the Iron Throne’s hidden mine in the Cloakwood, the Troupe joins Coran in his love for hunting wyverns. They also make an unlikely ally within the Shadow Druid order, as they want to shut down the mine that has scarred their sacred ground.
Finding Peter of the North
On their second journey into the Cloakwood, Aegon and the troupe find the bears more aggressive than before, forcing them to fight our way through to the Shadow Druid Grove. There, they met an unexpected ally.
Meeting An Unexpected Ally
After the death of Jaheira, the Troupe returns to the Friendly Arm Inn so that they can resurrect her. After taking some time to rest and re-equip, they now prepare themselves for a second expedition to the Cloakwood.
The Wyvern Sting of Guilt
The Troupe makes their way through the Cloakwood led by Jaheira. Seeking out the Shadow Druid’s grove, they face the many perils the wood decides to throw at them. Eventually they find a cave that may be the lair of a wyvern, or worse.
The Perils of the Cloakwood
The Troupe approach the Shadow Druid’s Grove and meet the morally ambiguous Eldoth, seeking to rescue his lover Skie from Baldur’s Gate. Aegon goes along with his plan for now, hoping his knowledge of the Cloakwood will be useful.
The Scheme of the Gallant
Aegon and the Troupe have just managed to slay a wyrmling, a young dragon, at the request of the druid Selene. Unsure if it was the beast that Selene wished to be destroyed, the troupe make their way back through the spider’s nest to deliver its head to her.
