So, here I am. Willingly entering the dumping place for the bodies of people not worthy to join a cult of sewer-dwelling cripples. Could it possibly be any worse?
There could be undead in here.
Oh, FFS.
I like my undead extra crispy.
Wait, mummies and ghasts? This group of undead is exactly the same as the one I've met previously! What a ripoff.
We're out of ground to cover for... tactical retreating, so we make our stand here.
Easy peasy.
We have no other option than to go forward, by the way.
Isn't it always this way?
Oh, look, three mummies and two ghasts. Surprise, surprise.
Apparently the creature spawner decided these are the optimal enemies for you at current level.
He should read about combat encounter variety.
I don't think it's a person.
Oh. I guess it does excuse some ignorance. Partially.
You'll help me deal with these creatures, LEE.
Wow, he's actually doing a pretty good job.
I'm not sure if elementals should be referred to as males.
They're male until proven otherwise, so says The Codex.
Since the elemental was not able to hurt the mummies, and vice-versa, The Codex steps up to clear things up.
I always have to do everything by myself in the end.
What? Not fucking AGAIN.
Hello, spawn_undead_med. Long time no see.
I don't have the patience for you assheads. Don't move.
Web allowed us to kill a mummy and two ghasts without any threat.
That's what I call effective use of resources.
The Codex quickly deals with the remnants.
Wait. I've already cleared the way to the next area. There's literally nothing stopping me from progressing this quest forward. Why would I even want to check these falling apart ruins?
Because of Your craving for adventure?
How is staying here more adventurous than moving on?
The rule is we explore every area thoroughly. Stop complaining and get inside.
Fucking OCD players.
OMG zombies.
Zombies put up enough of a fight that The Codex is forced to hide behind a Stoneskin.
It's just... a precaution.
I'm not sure what that 'Held' icon is doing on The Codex' portrait, as he was not immobilised.
A talking zombie. I should capture him alive and sell to the circus.
I don't think it's a zombie.
It's going down either way.
*cough* *cough* Bad breath...
Okay.
Someone is definitely going down.
Not a zombie.

This world needs toothpaste like you have no idea.
Go get them, 'zerk!
KILL DEAD!
Sucker.
MOMMY!
Could you stay alive for a few more seconds? I need the provided distraction.
Thanks for nothing, useless shit.
Oh, wait, it actually worked!
Lookey lookey.
Not bad at all. Just... not good enough.
We also find some minor loot.
And more minor loot.
Oh fuck. Is that a lich?
Yep.
Alright, the bonehead is dealt with.
What is this scroll?
Wicked.
We are still quite a ways from casting level 7 spells, though.
Um... invisible here?
Liches can see the invisible, if I'm correct.
It seems like I was correct.
Death Count: 105
Load game.
I should approach this from the right angle.
So only the Lich sees You?
So only the lich sees me.
Of course he has a crapload of spells that trigger immediately, the cheating bastard.
I would like to remind that it is You who uses the all-powerful Load Game spell.
Here, have some ring of the ram.
Come on! Is that all you've got?
Oh gods it's a lich! Help me!
Oh no! I am so dead!
The Lich does not fuck around, bombing everything in sight, including itself.
It's Achmed the dead terrorist, I am doomed!
Actually, I don't remember fighting a Lich in this place in my previous playthroughs. Must be a level scaling thing.

I hate liches.
Go and write your symbol stun on the toilet door, it may have an impact then!
Remind me, why haven't we used resist fear before trying this again?
We haven't?
Aaaaaaaaah!
Huh. We actually forgot.
Kind of funny, when You think about it.
Death Count: 107
Load.
Not a word, or you die a horrible death.
Now, let's try this again.
Come on, you pansy!
Ooh, did I just break your concentration? Because I believe I did!
I hope Project Eternity allows us for duels as cool as this (hopefully with less metagaming). I will be disappointed otherwise.
Ooh, ooh, hot, hot! Fucking kamikaze cheater liches! Enough with the protection from magical weapons!
I know this is a dirty trick, but you started it...
<HISS!>
Wail of the Banshee was always an overrated spell, in my opinion, or I just couldn't find a correct way to use it efficiently.
So, either a super-cool spell is useless, or you're an idiot? Yeah, I wonder which one of these is true...
Anyway, the Lich turned himself invisible, so we use this spell to cancel that.
I love it when they waste all these high-level spells on my nishruu.
FEED ME!
This is what happens when you mess with The Codex!
Booyah!
The rest of these losers should be small fry compared to the lich I've just killed.
This 'almost a fireball' will help as achieve yet another epic victory over the undead.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Actually, I was hoping for a bit more casualties from that spell, but whatever.
I can still do it, if I don't get surrounded.
Well, fuck.
...

I am currently unavailable for comment.
How about we fight one undead at a time?
It's a little derogatory, but since you don't have any better ideas...
A greater mummy? What'so great about it?
I'm guessing they're stronger.
And apparently immune to fire arrows...
Noted.
Well, maybe I wasn't able to hurt it at a distance, but at least I managed to cast mirror image before it got close.
Well, I'll be damned...

I hate mummies.
Oh, come on! Arrows +2 don't work either?! Time to use the tried and true means...
Magic missile!
And... magic missile!
And more magic missile!
And even more... why don't you die already!?
I see the number of our readers dwindling rapidly.
Finally!
I hope You saved some Magic Missiles for the other Greater Mummy...
What? There's another one?
Stop scar- annoying me. It's just a skeleton warrior.
SHIT, that's cold!
He seems to be a better bowman than You.
But I'm a better mage, fuck you. Mirror image!
Mirror Image just ain't what it used to be.

Load.
Ok, enough is enough. I am going to go all out on these motherfuckers.
Is that wise?
Wise? No. Awesome? Fuck yeah!
You can't see me, you can't kill me.
For once, let's see if they can breach my magic protection.
Come to papa...
Oohyeah, I own this place!
You can't hurt... What, the spell has worn off already?
Tragic.
Death Count: 111
Load game.
My plan needs adjustments.
I need to be dealing more damage per round to be able to pull this off. Haste should take care of that.
That does it for the bonehead.
Oh yes. Who's your daddy, mummy!
I guess we're done here. The rest of these corpses are pretty much dead already.
It's hard to argue with that last sentence.
Since I'm expecting mummies and ghasts ahead...
Look, I was right!
Load game is truly the most powerful clairvoyance spell of all.
Now, now, resistance is futile!
Told you.
You are spot on Lilarcor, as always.
Looting time!
Gloves that lower your dexterity to 18? Completely useless.
I think, we've already done this joke in our BG1 LP.
Well, it's even funnier now!
Area completed... I guess? The map is a bit dark, so I can't really tell.
Next time: The epic finale, in which we'll check how divine is the divinity of the Unseeing Eye.
And loot his corpse.
