Bye-bye cleric role.
But I was way wrong.
And I found something,
IF Shadowheart starts in on the "Unclean," you're golden, and your only sensible response is "I'm Sorry," and fun times are promised on the beach later.
sublimated thoughts (or is it "subsumed")
There is no actual reason to go into the temple of the open hand, and in fact unless you pick the special entrance with the patio (next to the buried trunk) you'll have trouble finding what I'm talking about.There is also no reason whatsoever to go into the dancing ax (whatever) since Jaheira and I are not on speaking terms, and she never asked me to go there.
But let's continue, as if magic voices told you to go into the temple,
find the trap door
go below and seek out secret buttons hidden behind worn faded shields on the wall.
And if you're thinking, "This is a load, no one could possibly know all that"
You'd prolly be half right, except *I* skip the zillion pissant little quests leading you there.
For example, you wouldn't actually know to go to candulhallow's tombstone store,
except you do,
so you go there,
but only after saving Cora Highberry (all other murder victims can go to hell)
Long story short (too late), After Killing some transparent-red-guy (He's important? I didn't know, no one told me.)
you meet a pretty lady with funny eyes in the temple of Bhaal.
She is played by a hammy actor who pads her part, (Reminds me of a creepy babysitter)
something about squeeezing them until they didn't scream nor whimper.
If I could (I'm kinda lazy) I'd find the youtube video.
She has a name, and it bugs me that she is ignored by most of the internet.
She (and another character called "Lug") are two totally ignored actresses in the game.
"Lug" is the one singing a lullaby outside of the "House of Grief."
The woman in Bhaal's temple
("Night Blade Elda" I could not google her)
apparently strangled people to keep them quiet.
How many countless others exist.
The psychic prostitute with a fetish for mindflayer-monsters
(there's *one* example.)
The Lady rehearsing her speech to "EdVard" (May she call him "Edvard?")
If you were of an opinion that the mainline story is incomprehensible (find the body to get the key to murder the guys to get the amulet to open the door), these little extraneous parts are welcome diversions to the grinding tedium.
In short (otg) they don't tell you HALF what you're supposed to know,
you must google it,
memorize it, and then (ignoring all the superfluous quests)
execute it.
Two voices in the game try real hard to sound british, but (in my very humble opinion) their detroit-style accent shows through.
One is a Talking-skull in the Biggie mausoleum that is the front for Shar's Gauntlet, and the other is Shar herself (also in my opinion.)
I could just look up her voice, but I've been unable to.
A masterful actress in voicecraft may have chosen to sound that exact way, but I doubt it, they're relatively short parts, and at least "Shar" (the goddess) might have been more than one actress...I'll keep looking.

WHY is "Staub" so expensive?
Well, first of all, the name "cocotte", that has to be worth at least $100,
then
It's made in France, probably by French people, probably on the Left-Bank.
OK back to the game (I still don't know WHY, (Bcuz) you could buy THREE pots and get them too dirty to use, and throw them away one by one, IDK)
Do guests arrive drooling over the color? Mine would gag seeing the roaches and the indelible grease stains on the prewar gas stove.
The disembodied voice is right, they (dutch ovens/cocottes) are just too damned heavy. this one being 12.9 pounds.
I just checked, water weighs around 8LB per gallon, so without cooking a damned thing you've already got over twenty pounds of searing hot burning hospital-stay weight.
%$#^, that's heavy, and for what?
So (reluctantly?) I'll go with multiclad (not to be confused with "all-clad(tm)"
Stainless-steel.
Beeeeeeecause, I need want a pot I can carry over to the sink without burning the crap out of my lap.
Someone include the kung-fu-guy carrying a cast iron pot and branding his wrists....
I erased my Original Stainless choice, I'll dredge it back up.

| It isn't my place to covet new stuff, not from dumpsters, yard-sales, dead relatives, and swap meets, but I like this fork. |
it's very heavy. This maid is used to it, I'm not.No Dutch oven for me.
Odd I thought/think that no one stares at the dish, which hasn't a place on the crowded table without the guests helpfully jostling their dishes around.
Point being, it must be heavy, like the centerpiece of a cocotte would be, but buried in the kitchen somewhere, who would know?
Someone brought up that it takes less energy. Yeah great, fine, but it would kill me so forget that.

The sales sites say yes, the USDA says "no."
I just read a line about chickens requiring more feed and more energy to produce a brown egg.
I read another line about taste, as in, they're not confirming or denying that Brown eggs taste better.
It's a paradigm to raise money, eggs 2.0 are worthy, all others are obsolete (and you should feel bad buying them)
So, eggs from the south of France (or maybe Italy) fried in Olive oil must be the creme de la creme.
But your patrons (people eating them) wouldn't know if they're eating a brown egg or not.
Brown eggs fried in Olive oil and sprinkled with Sea Salt, from Peasants in (uh)
It's on Youtube so it must be true.
Well, anyway.....a quick trip to the CVS (*my* CVS) will get you a reeeeally expensive (overpackaged) dozen Brown eggs, Cuz everyone knows (it's on the picture of the carton) that eggs raised lovingly by children (on estates in the south of France) are better.

| No scam! *magic* |
Really odd that they wanna stick you on a guilt-trip for buying ordinary yogurt...
Women shoppers who presumably have been shopping for years, *study* yogurt, they don't grab the first one.
But actually I like the thicker stuff because it makes for good mayonnaise my stomach likes (unless it's asleep, then nevermind.)
And yes, I bought into the whole Greek-ethos.
I seriously don't know.
Brown eggs with greek yogurt and EVOO and sea salt (lol)
She epitomizes pretension in the dark recesses of my lower-mind (apologies in advance).
Her refrigerator, in public, anyway:
