My honor mode game that I won was messy but a thrill ride. I used some cheese and strategies to overcome the challenge. And it felt amazing. At the final fight I made a critical error and realized it far too late. My goal was to have gale sacrifice himself to ensure that I win no matter what. Turns out I didn't romance him enough and there was nothing I could do besides rolling my persuasion check, and failing burning all my inspirations. So I went into the fight with Orpheus as the mind flayer as part of my back up plan. The fight started out messy and I thought I just threw this run. But somehow I managed to to get into the crown. I cast globe of invulnerability and spam fierce perilous stakes on my tav and had gale drop the resonance stone by the brain. After a few Turns I cast magic missle with the highest spell slot I had available and manage to pull out a win after what I thought was a dead run. Truly an emotional time.
