In the form of
Marcus and
Astarion making tactically suspect decisions, Sazza takes the cake with not one, not two, but three sus choices.
So I play the minigame of trying to save Sazza. After rescuing her, I meet in the goblin camp at MInthara's hangout. I have to negotiate a careful path through the dialog to make Sazza afraid of them, so she doesn't join them against me when the fight starts.
This leads to a tough fight as for some reason, all the gobbos including Minthara make a beeline to attack her, and her 14 hp doesn't last long. It's worse than saving Isobel from Marcus and three winged horrors.
Anyway, I have great luck, and wipe Minthara and the two gobbos straight off. Sazza is green and joins us in fighting. Oh no!
With the three locals dead, she spies an opponent outside the room. She dashes, and keeps dashing to the hall to attack a hall guard, because the hummball has warned others before Lae'zel or I can toss it into the gorge.
Now I've gotta save her from the hall goblins which she's intent on soloing.This happens, but but by that time, Dror Ragzlin & friends have seen her through the broken wall,
and now she's pulling in the final goblin leader fight all on the same play. Sazza had no chance against two hall guards. Good luck against Dror.Fine, I run in and we take them out and Sazza is still alive.
But at some point, she decides she's our enemy now, and tries to kill us.Well, I plan to save her anyway, so I turn off automatic reactions and make a bee line for the nearest exit, which is the worg pen. The three gobbos guarding that door of course object.
I manage to make all four of us through the door, which is a mini-zone change, and boom! Up pops the save Sazza success reward. Hooray! And miracle of miracles, she doesn't follow us through.
Unfortunately, the worg pen is now pulled. We're getting pretty dry on spell slots, so it's up to The Wiffer and I to do the vast bulk of the work.
Success! Halsin is saved, gobbo kids not killed, Sazza not killed, completed, three major and two minor encounters all in one continuous, rolling fight!
