My character died today

Marlin's journey started on December 18th 2024. This is my first earnest attempt at doing the Permadeath challenge with no exploits or save-scumming. After 70 hours of play time, he has finally perished. A swinging mace trap caught me off guard in Fort Homestead.

Marlin's passion was talking to people. He made friends everywhere he went. He had just bought a wonderful house near Leyawiin with a herd of sheep and a pond of swans and ducks.

His last quest was Misdirection — having stolen Hromir's Ice staff, he decided to try his hand at combating some marauders in an old fort on the other coast of the lake. There, he found his final resting place. His enchanted rapier was taken by the raiders and his magic box he used as a home led to a war between marauding parties.

Ask me anything that pertains to my personal self-imposed rules, details of this run, strategy I used with this character, anything you wish to know. Check out my other post where I shared an anecdote about Marlin's attempt of stealing the tax records from the Imperial Guards. 😉
