Baldur's Gate 3 ep 102 - The A Team Assault on Yurgir
0(Tactician.) Now the real fight begins. With the A Team back in place, the party returns to Yurgir's room for the second wave of the assault, after the B Team weakened the enemy forces by killing the Displacer Beast and two of the eight Merregons. (They're only level 5 but they're a serious nuisence with their immunity to fire and poison and two attacks per round.) This time we find Yurgir on the lower floor, near the entrance to the room, so the party sneaks up to approach the upper floor from the south side, where all the remaining Merregons are bunched together. Gale cackles and opens with a level 4 Ice Storm, and only then remembers the Merregons are resistant to cold damage, too, so it does minimal damage. Yurgir, who always goes first in the initiative, leaps up from the bottom floor directly in front of the party, throws grenades, and does a Concussive Burst. Luckily nobody died instantly this time, which is what usually happens, but Tavi and Shadowheart are thrown backwards, leaving Karlach alone in front of an unusually visible Yurgir. Karlach uses a new item which gives an enemy vulnerability to slashing damage (I thought it lasted for 3 turns, but it's only for the first hit), and knocks almost a third of Yurgir's health off in two swings, and I'm suddenly feeling good about this fight. Long story short: That was the last time we got to hit Yurgir in the battle. Faerie fire doesn't prevent invisibility like I thought it did, at least in BG3, which is known for arbitrarily changing about a thousand D&D rules. In any case, the party, by which I mean Karlach, is able to kill the remaining Merregons, while Tavi, Gale, and Shadowheart end up doing very little except fleeing for their lives, constantly going down and getting back up again in their efforts to run away. Gale died and had to be revivified at one point. Karlach died on the battlefield fighting a one-on-one duel with Yurgir in the end, and she actually got him down to only 47 hit points remaining before dying to one of his ridiculous insta-kill moves. She's resurrected back in camp and the party takes a long rest to prepare for the final push. _Scorecard: Level=7, **Camps+1=37**, Trysts=3, Bites=8, Gale=3, Murders=1; Tactician **Revivifies+1=13**, **Resurrections+1=6**, Reloads=35 (for Bug=1, Redo=5, TPK=17, Scum=12)._
