Planescape Torment - “Time is not your enemy, forever is”

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

I went back into the mortuary and through a portal to the Fortess of Regrets. All my party disappeared, I spoke to Deionarra, entered the fortress proper and I had to run around avoiding lost of Great Shadows whilst unlocking a portal and having visions of my party dying (except Ignus who turned traitor). Through the portal and a brief fight with Ignus, examined a crystal and I was transported to another room. I met three of my other incarnations (Good, Paranoid and Practical); I merged with the three incarnations - first attempt I merged with practical to early and got a bad game ending (boo!); I then spoke again with Deionarra who took my to where my fallen comrades bodies lay. I spoke to the Transcendent One and eventually persuaded him that I would kill myself with the Blade of the Immortal unless he merged with me. We merged I cast raise dead on my fallen comrades, we said our goodbyes. THE END‼

Postscript: what I have really loved about this game is the lack of big battles. There seems to be a law nowadays requiring bosses at regular intervals and Planescape has very few encounters you can’t talk your way out of; even the ending was a case of brain not brawn.

Planescape Torment - Back in Sigil

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Busy evening, I went to somewhere in the outlands, on to the Pillar of Skulls found out that I needed to go back to Curst to see Trias the devas, went back to Curst and found Trias had caused it to move to Carceri, made the town less chaotic, found Trias in the administration buildings and after a short test of strength persuaded him to give me information and to go back to Cori Celesti and try to put things right. I am now back in Sigil - there can’t be much left now I suppose. However, Sigil is more interesting than Curst - a pity since I’m left feeling that disc 4 was kind of wasted.

Planescape Torment - Curst

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

I spent the evening exploring Curst, obtaining the five parts of a key to get to the devas was the easy bit, getting through Curst prison was a nightmare especially since I didn’t realise for a long time that a hermit I had passed could provide healing so for a while I was the only living party member. Anyway, we’re through the prison and just about to step through a portal.

Planescape Torment - Ravel’s Maze and onto the Outlands

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

I eventually got the key to the portable portal to Ravel’s Maze, I found the hag and after lots of talk (and experience) killed her and ran away to the Outlands. Not much detail, but it took the best part of three hours getting this far tonight. I meant to retrain as a fighter and complete some Godsmen quests, but I forgot.

Planescape Torment - Foundry

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Collected the legacy from the advocate and along with a new eye(!) I got a receipt allowing me to enter the foundry which I am currently exploring. I think I am going to have to join a different faction.

Planescape Torment - Clerk’s Ward

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Cleared lots of quests and now I’ve only really got one thing to do at the moment (apart from helping Ingress which I have had assigned forever) - I think I need to obtain a piece of Ravel. However, I get the feeling I’ve missed something…

Planescape Torment - Wandering

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Lots of wandering back and forth tidying up subquests - as a matter of fact I’m not that sure how to make progress at the moment. I did set Ignus free from the Burning Corpse bar which I am really unsure about. I also got into the seige tower and was given a weapon that could kill me.

Planescape Torment - Clerk’s Ward

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

R was watching the X Factor so I played for a couple of hours, but unfortunately killed someone I shouldn’t have so I restarted. I’ve now been to the private sensorium and have lots of new subquests which seem to revolve around The Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts.

Planescape Torment - Lower Wards

Friday, October 21st, 2005

Finished the quest for Pharod, finished some subquests, teamed up with Annah, trapped a Dabus and have now arrived in the Lower Ward

Planescape Torment - Dead Nations

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

I said something wrong and had to fight my way through the Trash Warrens to the buried village where I did a couple of subquests. I talked to Pharod and have now entered the catacombs, I found my arm and lots of Cranium Rats and Lesser Vargouilles. I left in a bit of a hurry for healing from Mebbeth and also went to see Fell about my arm. I returned to the Catacombs and I am currently wandering around the Dead Nations - I have just found out Soego’s secret.
