I was surrounded on all sides. I’d managed to rescue the prisoner, but now we had to fight our way back out of the dungeon. Reinforcements poured in from the south, so I sent my beleaguered party north.

What followed was a harrowing, tense turn, as I carefully positioned my warden for a whirlwind strike, blasted out a fireball with my acolyte, and tried to figure out what I could do with a useless unarmed prisoner. That’s when I remembered the pressure plates, and smiled as I noticed the bad guys were standing pretty close to those statues. He may have been unarmed, but his legs were working just fine.

Next Let’s Play game – The Banner Saga 2, first episode tonight!

My next live stream Let’s Play game will be The Banner Saga 2! The tactical RPG was developed by Stoic, published by Versus Evil and released in 2016.

I enjoyed the first game many years ago, while watching the sequel and third game pile up my backlog. Looking forward to another tactical game with meaningful consequences, and a much shorter run time! And yes, I’m leaning heavily towards playing The Banner Saga 3 afterwards.

Episode 1 will be live streamed tonight at 9:30 pm Central US.
