he's worth 100k xp in baldur's gate 2, but i often let him live because that's worth 80k for every party member. also, he can be a total pain in the ass. also also, by that point in watcher's keep i'm generally just kind of over that shit.

especially that warriors maze nonsense. way to suck the fun out of living, bg2.

So that's a real thing? I thought it was a joke.

My nerd doesn't run that deep I guess.

well, it's both. also, it's from stranger things which based it on the D&D monster because that show is total nerd porn.

Ah, I have not gotten to that show yet. It's actually next on my list and I'm looking forward to it. I know I'm behind but I tend to try and watch everything and that never works.

Demogorgon:

Demogorgon is a deity or demon, associated with the underworld and envisaged as a powerful primordial being, whose very name had been taboo. Although often ascribed to Greek mythology, the name probably arises from an unknown copyist's misreading of a commentary by a fourth-century scholar, Lactantius Placidus. The concept itself though can be traced back to the original misread term demiurge.

There's nothing in the article about how many hit points it has.

it has a fuck ton. also, you need powerful weapons to even do damage to it all. i believe it's +5. it's been awhile since i bothered.

and, to be honest, my inner nerd almost checked out in the very first episode of stranger things with the kid wanted to cast fireball at the fucking prince of all demons like it would even fucking matter. luckily, i told my inner nerd to shut the fuck up and kept watching that awesome as hell show.

If its not 2e I don't want to know about it. Except for the expanded equipment lists they are cool.

All I remember from playing BG1 on my old iBook from back in the day is that it took at least five dudes bum rushing en masse to bring it down.

And those fucking giant spiders. Man, I died six or seven times before I figured out you needed ranged weapons in addition to armored swordsmen to effectively kill them. Fata would shit herself.

Man, you're missing out on a treat! It's like a homage to Stephen King. Be sure to peep it before Season 2 this October.

Hate giant spiders! Class E poison. Saves vs poison or die! A 1 always fails.
