Taking Down Jolene

Post by KalevD »

Here is my visual recounting of the mission to eradicate Jolene's influence over the Cloakwood once and for all.

It took some time, and a few difficult choices, but I was able to whittle down the 304 screenshots taken that night to a manageable 60. The reason there were so many to begin with is because when I turn off the GUI to take screenshots, I move the camera around and hit 'Print Screen' at least a dozen times so I can go through the shots later and see which ones look best or caught the most action.

I plan to start a thread in the Library someday with all the screenshots taken over Venrill's travels, much in the way I've been doing for my old NWN1 character Kalev D'Kalas. Once that thread is started I'll write blurbs for sections like these but for now, I think the event is fresh enough in everyone's minds not to need them.

Feel free to save any of the ones you like for your own collections. Enjoy!

I'm looking into doing better permissions stuff for the albums module,- or scrapping it for a better one. That way anyone can upload images to a ajax-type album like the one used for the memberpics etc on the left side. Much less work, and easier to browse.

Very cool stuff though, i'd love to share them with as many people as possible!

Just one of those things that are easier now with the forums integrated into the website.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." -- Richard Dawkins

Glad you guys like them!

As an added treat, please enjoy the following 20 bonus screenshots I delegated as bloopers, extras, and outtakes. Some of them were OOC occurrences, some of them were bad timing, and some of them just made me laugh when looked at a certain way.

Either Allina is really brave or the rest of us are really stupid.
Image

Judging by the blindfolds, the size of the enemy, and the direction their swings are moving. I don't think this will end well for Venrill or Ashan.
Image

Seeing Flora aim her crossbow, Venrill dives to the side a split second after remembering she was the only one he didn't cast Blindsight on.
Image

Picture 1:
Flora runs for it
Picture 2:
Allina runs for it
Picture 3:
Blindfolded Ashan: *pause* "Wait, what's happening?"
Image Image Image

Someone snipes the half-orc in the crotch. Well done.
Image

Considering Shallac and Venrill's angles, this should have - at the very least - required a Will save. When you see it, you'll know why.
Image

Ashan: .........look, I don't suppose I could get a minute alone here?
Image

Run between pictures 1, 2, and 3 over and over while listening to 'Yakety Sax'
Image Image Image

Alesarque: "I think she's impressed!"
Allina: "I think she's picking her next target!"
Image

OOC wildmen are waiting for us outside the cave. Of course, Aelsarque still manages to get coldcocked before the DMs step in :P
Image Image

Aelsarque: "Who wants to dance with me?"
The Rest of Us: "F*** off, white boy!"
Image Image Image Image

Flora: Having fun
Venrill: Having fun
Allina: Having fun
Aelsarque: Having......indigestion.
Image

....followed by The Robot, apparently *facepalm*

Great shots! Your print screen button must be getting worn out.

And great captions too. :D

Screenshots are deserving of rewards in game. Thanks Kalev, you're a real credit to the community with your contributions!
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
