Secret of the Silver Blades Any% NG Speedrun in 1:55:47

A speedrun of Secret of the Silver Blades, the third in the first "Gold Box" series of tactical AD&D games by SSI, sequel to Curse of the Azure Bonds and Pool of Radiance. Any% NG means we must start new characters created in this game, not imported from Curse or played through previously (who would retain all equipment and levels, making the run NG+) or using items from the vault that were not deposited by the party. Timing starts on Beginning the Adventure from the character create screen and ends when the textboxes following the final battle conclude (after seeing the image of the two brothers' spirits reuniting). The community changing the Gold Box' game speed (from DOSBox 3000 cycles to 6000) has a huge impact on the speed of all these games, and so I ran this with the intent of having a new recorded baseline for the game's time. It went far better than I could have imagined, despite a few errors. This sub-2:00 is incredible, and greatly impressive!
