Today is an unusual day. My father has uncharacteristically interrupted my chores. He told me I needed to prepare for a journey: we are leaving Candlekeep. I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand I have never seen outside these walls.
Okay, let’s try this again. I’ve gone back and reinstalled EET from scratch with a shed-ton of mods. I’ve had a quick playthrough and rushed to both the Friendly Arm Inn and Beregost.
5 Mirtul 1368
We travel back to the Lion’s Way. It takes us 16 hours.
As we get near to the stone circle we are attacked by a wolf.
The six of us take it down easily.
Imoen and I show the party back to the stone circle.

We figure that the hobgoblins are probably attacking people on the path. We go outside the walls and follow it north. Sure enough we come across some hobgoblins.
Imoen opens with her bow as we wait for them to approach.
4 Mirtul 1368
The elves notice my approach. Up close I realise they are actually half-elves.
Khalid: G-good to know you.
Jaheira: We are old friends of your adopted father. He is not with you? I must assume the worst. He would not permit his only child to wander without his accompaniment.
Khalid: If.
4 Mirtul 1368
We enter the inn and start to ask around after Khalid and Jaheira.
The patrons don’t appear friendly. I notice a half-orc nursing an empty glass, a fairly unusual sight on the Sword Coast.
Dorthon: I am not your servant. Get your own ale!
Dorn: Then why do you bother me.
4 Mirtul 1368
Night falls as we travel, but we don’t stop. We want to get to the Friendly Arm Inn as soon as we can. We make our way towards the Coast Way.
3 Mirtul 1368
After the burial we come across some more equipment from the thugs that ambushed me and my father the night before.
The leather armour is similar to my studded leather. It provides less protection, but allows for more movement.
There is also a long sword on the ground.
3 Mirtul 1368
I still have a companion on my journey, but not the one I expected.
Imoen is a thief, used to sneaking in and out of places.
Gameplay NoteI’m going to changing the classes of some characters to mix things up a little.
2 Mirtul 1368
I decide to walk through the Inner Grounds to get back to the Inn. On my way I literally bump into a gnome reciting some music.
Finch: Ooh! I’m so sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going!
Dorthon: It’s okay, Finch, old pal.
