Alright, listen up, y’all. We gotta talk about this… this “Boon of Bhaal” thing. Sounds fancy, but it ain’t nothin’ but trouble, lemme tell ya. Folks keep gettin’ all riled up about it, and I’m here to set things straight, plain and simple, like a good ol’ cup of coffee.

So, this Bhaal fella, he’s bad news. Real bad. Gives folks this “boon,” makes ‘em think they’re all powerful, but it just ends in tears, like that time my prize-winning rooster got snatched by a fox. Same kinda heartbreak, but on a bigger scale, ya know?

First thing’s first, if you’re up against this Orin character, the one who’s all tied up with this Bhaal mess, you gotta be smart. Don’t go chargin’ in like a bull in a china shop. That’s how you end up with egg on your face, or worse. Use your head, not just your fists.

• You got them magic spells? Use ‘em! The ones that hit a buncha times, yeah, those are good. Keeps that Orin fella on his toes, like trying to swat flies on a hot summer day.
• And if he tries to run off, like a scaredy cat, you gotta have somethin’ to catch him. Them “misty step” things, or “tele arrows,” whatever they call ‘em, those’ll do the trick. Don’t let him get away, or he’ll just come back to pester ya later, like them darn weeds in my garden.
• Oh, and don’t forget about his helpers! Them little minions, they’re like gnats buzzin’ around your head. Gotta knock ‘em off them cliffs, or they’ll just keep comin’ back, like ants to a picnic basket. A good ol’ area-of-effect (AoE) spell, that’s what ya need. Blows ‘em all away, quick and easy.

Now, if you ain’t facin’ Orin directly, but you still gotta deal with this Bhaal’s power, you gotta change your tactics, like switchin’ from biscuits to cornbread for breakfast.

See, it’s them cultists causin’ all the trouble. They’re the ones givin’ out this “boon,” makin’ everyone all crazy. They got some kinda fancy protection on ‘em, can’t just hit ‘em straight on. But, they ain’t too bright, lemme tell ya. You gotta knock ‘em down, make ‘em trip and fall. That stops the “boon” right in its tracks.

And if that don’t work, there’s always the sneaky way. Them cultists, they can’t hide from everything. Use them big ol’ spells or weapons that hit a whole area. Like throwin’ a rock into a pond, it’ll get ‘em all, whether they like it or not. Think like a fox, not a chicken, ya hear?

You could also try hidin’ your folks real good, givin’ ‘em potions to keep ‘em hidden, then when the fight starts, BAM! Surprise ‘em. Works every time, like a good rain after a dry spell.

Bhaal, he likes things quick. He don’t wanna mess around. So you gotta be quicker. Hit hard, hit fast, and don’t give him a chance to catch his breath. Like wranglin’ a greased pig, it ain’t easy, but it can be done.

So, there ya have it. No fancy words, no complicated plans. Just good ol’ common sense. That’s how you stop this “Boon of Bhaal” nonsense. Now go on, get to it, and don’t forget to drink plenty of water and get some rest, ’cause fightin’ takes it outta ya, just like hoein’ the fields all day. And remember, stayin’ alive is the most important thing. You can’t win if you’re dead, can ya?
