Pillars of Eternity 1, Part 5: Storming Raedric's

Here we are: Storming Raedric's. Revenge for all the people on the tree, even if there's no guarantee things turn out well for anyone. The keep is still building the path to the east at the start, so we have nothing else to really do. I'm pretty sure that the only reason we completed this fight in one attempt was thanks to our Ranger Tank friend and her lion.

Honestly, there are only two encounters that are of note -- the one with the ainimancer in the dungeon and then Raedric himself. The ainimancer fight is pretty much a push over with Danimere's single target damage nuking down the caster, while Durance's anti-undead skill basically won the fight. Raedric was a bit more touch and go, but I think it is a perfect example of real-time with pause at it's best. Combined with slow mode, the game's combat feels manageable and stylish.

I guess we're going to have to open up the map and see what's next when we come back to play some more. We start by swapping weapons for Eder and Serena (the Ranger Tank); Eder doesn't need the regen morningstar as much as she does. With both of our tanks having some HP regen, it's time to explore. Let's follow the time stamps.
