High Hedge: went to High Hedge and bought, fire arrow, skull trap and vampire touch, to build up my necromantic sorcery repitoire... but also saw 'protection from petrification'.

Area North of Gullykin: i decided to make a long detour to fight some bassalisk. I killed many lesser and 2 or 3 greater and leveled up very high (mainly using my armour/shield boost complimented with protection from petrification... with some offensive spells thrown in). I am now at 60,000 exp

Nashkell mines: killed greywolf, he took quite a bit to kill but he fell in the end. I made my way to the bottom of the mines, killed all kobolds rather easily (commandos were a bit more of a hassle), and finally defeated mulahey. He was no match for my magic at this point.

Beregost: killed tranzig, time to go to bandit camps.

Bandit camp: i killed the champions outside, the one with the hammer i used 'hold person' and then pelted him with rocks [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Bandit HQ: ok this one i opened the battle by charming the archer and turning him onto the mage, casting stinking cloud, and then launching some lightning and missles to finish the job.

High Hedge: from selling the weapons and skalps from the bandit camp i now have enough money to by the 'robe of the good arch magi' ... time for some good armour class

(my journey will next take me to Cloakwood)

[note: for those who may have reconsidered soloing a mage, this is NOT actually that hard. By exploiting the usefulness of ranged weapons and using my protection boost technique this is not that difficult... but i will worship anybody that can do it without a sling lol. I predict BGII may be harder]
