So the dragon was ordered to kill us and retrieve the dagger but the attack on the *entire city* is called off inexplicably when the dragon dropped to half health... why? 🤔 It failed to retrieve the dagger, it failed to destroy the city, it probably failed to blight the city, so what was the point of that attack? 🤨Why was Ghilan'nain even there if she was just going to run away when the dragon, which failed to do her bidding, almost died. 😆Why was Rook's presence so critical to the survival of both cities when we accomplished nothing in either?

Summons can be very useful but it's sometimes a pain in the ass trying to navigate a big group around the map.

At any given time there were 8 or more summons/undead running around the battlefield, mostly just missing their attacks and getting in the way lol.

Welcome back to BG3, hope you enjoyed the holidays. Tempest Domain is a solid choice for a single level Cleric dip, the Wrath of the Storm reaction is quite good (except when you roll a 2 on 2d8 dmg lol). This is a tough fight that can easily spiral out of control as the enemies keep spawning, and the portal itself is fairly weak to attacks (the portal running out of HP is very bad). I failed more times playing this fight than any other (except for maybe the Myrkul fight), but you did a great job! Having multiple spellcasters in the party is a good way to go, AOE spells can really dominate this fight. Ice for the win. 🥶 The elementals were pretty effective too! My current fave tactic for this battle is to load up my two best archers with Undead slaying and Multi target arrows, and then give them each a scroll of Evard's Tentacles. Two instances of Evards can pretty well cover the whole side where the Shadow cursed undead keep spawning. The enemies run into the tentacles, get stuck and make easy targets. That leaves the other two party members to handle the Wraiths and Shadows on the other side. Also, not sure if you noticed when you leveled up Halsin, the Woodland Being he can summon is a dryad, who can herself summon a Wood Woad. Its two summons for the price of one!
