With the now one-armed Breagar back among them, the Troupe resumes its journey to the Cloakwood. Though bandits no longer roam the roads between Nashkel and Baldur’s Gate, assassins still mar Aegon’s path. The Iron Throne wants him dead, but so far they have failed to achieve that goal.
DocBok
I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Ho Phrakeo Museum, Vientiane
Once a temple that housed the famed Emerald Buddha, Ho Phrakeo carries the weight of centuries in its walls. Originally built in the 16th century, the temple was ransacked by the Siamese in the 18th century. The Emerald Buddha was taken to Bangkok, where it resides to this day.
The Dangers of Darkchester
The Ridge family has now survived over two weeks in their harsh, post-apocalyptic world. Though they’ve largely solved their water crisis, food poisoning continues to plague the shelter. Their lives may be marginally more stable, but comfort remains a distant dream.
Hummingbird Moth Variants
This week I decided to add a bit of variety to the Hummingbird Moth. There are actually multiple different species of Hummingbird Moth, and I wanted to represent this in the mod by adding a few different varieties.
Saving the World with a Hug
The recent slate of MCU films has received a mixed reception, with some hits and several misses. While I’m a bit of a fanboy who watches everything, even I wouldn’t recommend every film to average movie-goer.
An Angry One-Handed Dwarf
On their way back to the Cloakwood, the Troupe passes through Beregost, where they visit an old friend: Breagar, the cantankerous dwarf who once frequented Candlekeep. But what begins as a reunion ends in tragedy.
Wat Kao Nhot in Vientiane
One of many small temples that lines the streets of Vientiane is Wat Khao Nhot. Likely destroyed by the Siam during the rebellion of Chao Avouvong in1927, this is a reconstruction. This is a small temple, and it was closed the day we went past.
Sheltered: Waiting for Rain
After traumatising my first family, first with the death of their cat, and finally with the death of the father, I set out to survive with a new family. This time I would remember to feed the pet, and keep an eye on our food and water supplies.
The Inedible Crow Butterfly
I set out to have an easy week by adding a new butterfly. However, as ideas flowed in, this butterfly became a little more complex to implement. The result is a new butterfly with a unique ability that enables it to survive for longer.
Only One and a Half Seasons
In September, 2021, Squid Game was released on Netflix. It was an almost instant success, and with good reason. This survival horror serves us a metaphor for the current state of the world, and the oligarchs who run everything.
