I always wanted to do a run where I never freed the pixie, but had to run around with a lantern out, just for Astarions and giggles.

Well, in this one, I went the Dryder route, straight to Moonrise, and he kept the moonlantern and scootered up the side of the tower to the top.

Later I went up the outside and cleared it except for Ketheric, and got the moonlantern. I didn't do anything with it (and on retrospect, not sure I could.)

Anyway...

I carried it a while, and this was after I got the one from Balthazar's room. Eventually I decided to rescue her and get the pixie bell instead.


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS. Nothing in the lantern but broken bones and fallen off wings. Yuck. Sorry, snotty pixie!

I didn't even know this was possible. I suppose all those dead pixies should have been a clue, it wasn't just due to sloppy work by Balthazar. I've no idea if it was me or the dryder who was responsible.


I plead dumb. Which is easy with an 8 int.
