First time playing an “evil” campaign, with a friend running a Durge.

We’re failing so miserably in so many comic ways.

We killed most of the origin companions because they’re mostly good two-shoes. When we were done only Lae’zel and Astarion were left.

In Act 2, because we murdered Shadowheart in Act 1, we were locked out of killing the Nightsong because we didn’t have Shar’s Chosen with us. Even after killing Isobel, somehow we ended up with both Jaheira and the Nightsong at our camp, through bad decisions and forgetting to save frequently.

Further, Minthara was glitched and missing in Act 2 after our Durge romanced her in Act 1 but chose not to give in to her urge and kill Minthara because we wanted to recruit her Overly Attached Girlfriend self to our party.

By Act 3, our Monk said “I feel like we’re bad at being evil.”

I sort of do, too. Being a goody-two-shoes in real life can make it hard to know how to be a sinister mustache twirling villain.

    If you perform a song using the perform action everyone within range comes to listen. If you pass a performance check they hang out until you stop playing. You can use this to distract everyone and then your rogue can slip in quietly and do his thing.

    You don’t need to be a bard, just need the perform action so have your best charisma character or tiefling go talk to Alfira and pass her checks to get musical instrument proficiency.
