Overhaul Games recently released another new story segment featuring a character from Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. Once again the focus turned to Neera the Wild Mage, with a second chapter in her origin story. BGEE is an updated version of Bioware's fantasy role playing game set in the Forgotten Realms. The game will feature an enhanced version of the Infinity Engine, the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack, new adventures, and new party members.

Neera raised her staff. For an instant, all the orcs flinched. Neera wanted to say something dramatic and intimidating like, Fear the power of my magic unleashed! But she was afraid she'd stutter or sound childish. Besides, she needed to save her breath for a spell. The only question was, which one?

The forest was already burning, she decided, and the orcs had run from the flames. What's the harm in a little more fire?

Neera reached deep within her connection to the arcane. The border between her world and that of the Weave felt like a gossamer veil, a curtain she could part not with her hand but with her will. She opened it as wide as she dared, willing-and hoping-for fire.

Fire she got.
