I explored the whole Slaver Castle, and i have a few questions.

Where is Chaarna? I can't seem to find her anywhere.

I defeated Kessa, but i never got any option to recruit her, despite having Icar in my party. Can she only be recruited with Althon? Or do i have to resurrect her corpse?
Is the clone important?

I don't seem to have an option other than recruiting Buranta or keeping her a prisoner. Can't i just free her like the other slaves?

And i'd also like to report a bug as well: at some points in the castle, Icar has some banters, but instead of saying relevant stuff, he only says the line from when the party was in Piney Bluff, about needing to stabilize the town and kill the creature threatening it.

[Lysan Lurraxol]

Chaarna's in one of the cells opposite Buranta.

The clone not too important, but she is an NPC in her own right, and has her own plotline in the Slavers' series (not sure if ti's in CA yet)

I think Althon has to be in the party, and to resurrect Markessa you have to have Althon in your party when you go to Suderham, I'm not sure about Icar.

I'll ask Leahnkain and Kaeloree about extra dialog options for Buranta.

Chaarna's in one of the cells opposite Buranta.

Then i guess i've got another bug, because the only cell with someone in it after i free the slaves is Buranta's. Chaarna never appears.

Do you know the creature code for her, so i can try to spawn her?

[Jarno Mikkola]

... the creature code for her, so i can try to spawn her?

It depends on your XP amount, but choose the closer... It's either TCCHAAR7(she has 80522xp) or TCCHAAR9(she has 180202xp).

[leahnkain]

Strange, I have never had this bug. She is always easy to find. Althon is needed to bring back Kessa, Icar should be able to do it as well. No matter what she has to die first before you can get her to join.

Thank you.

I noticed that her portrait, alignment and spells changed from the time she joined at the beginning: is that normal, or is it an older version?

[Lysan Lurraxol]

Nope, they're supposed to change. (At least until next version I think)

I am curious about your problem with Chaarna. Did you ever talk to her back in Oakhurst? Some of her dialog options are what I use to trigger sending her to the prison. If you didn't, maybe that is where I need to look.

Icar may not be able to resurrect Kessa at this point. I believe his last dialog for her is to gather her body for a burial in Waterdeep. The priestess in Suderham doesn't have any dialogs with Icar so resurrection wouldn't be possible right now.

I'll check into the strange dialog problem for Icar.

[mystral]

I actually went to the Silver Princess in chapter 1, so i did talk to Chaarna at the beginning.

I don't know where Icar's banter problems could be coming from. It only happened when he was talking to the PC, because he also had 2 banters with Shadow and 1 with Catharandamus that were fine. That line also played instead of Rilithar's interjections (like when seeing Vlidamyr's flail) when i told him to accompany my party in Mistmoor.

Speaking about banter problems, after i took Elora along to replace Fala'stra, i got the same banter between her and Catharamandus, about being "not so different" 3 times in a row.
Also, is it normal i get no dialogue from Fala'stra to explain her betrayal?
I saw that she had a "like" local var about the PC, as well as a "seduce" one. Does that mean she might not betray the party if that local is high enough (at least in future versions)?

I took Buranta along, and she seems very promising. I only got 1 banter with her, but her soundset is very good, in an evil way.
Her stats are a bit strange though. She had too many hp (she was a lvl 9 assassin with 70 hp), and her int is very high (she's a bit high level to be dualled to mage though), but her dex is a bit low for a thief. I actually had to give her the gloves of dexterity. This prevents her from actually being viable as the only thief in the party, but i guess she's great if you like backstabbing people (i had an easy time in Kessa's dungeon, with her assassinating all the mages ).

Found the problem to that one:

// Elora

IF ~CombatCounter(0)
!See([ENEMY])
InParty("TCELORA")
Detect("TCELORA")
!StateCheck("TCELORA",CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
Global("CAIL","LOCALS",0)~ THEN
~BCATH~ CatharandamusElora1
~We are no so unalike, you and I.~
DO ~SetGlobal("CAEL","LOCALS",1)~
== ~BELORA~ ~Really? Excuse me, I can't hear you over the noise of the hells freezing over, you'll have to speak up.~
== ~BCATH~ ~Truly, Ilmataran, we are alike. For one we are both servants of gods of pain.~
== ~BELORA~ ~Excuse me, but Ilmatar alleviates and bears pain, he does not cause it.~
== ~BCATH~ ~And so does Shar, she takes pain and remakes it a strength, a power. Your Lord understands the power of pain, Elora.~
== ~BELORA~ ~Enough of your blasphemy! I had thought you merely deluded, Shaaran, but now I know you are quite mad. Evidently your dalliances with the dead have finally caught up with you. Pray, excuse me.~

This fixed file should correct that problem - unless WeiDU decides to play hardball that is.

[Lysan Lurraxol]

Oops That would be my fault.

One of the first banters I wrote, I think, sorry

[Sir BillyBob]

Added fix to next version. Thanks for finding it.
