Hey,

first of all, great mod, I enjoy it a lot! I just have a quick question about the storyline:

I freed the Hold, caught up with the Caravan, the Wizard was sent back to the Hold (I assume to make the following fight easier?) and I killed all the remaining guards and their leader. Now that I have the Lotus stuff, what am I supposed to do?

Also, will the old journal entries be removed once I've finished the mod? I still have some entries from the demon, the hold etc.

Cheers

You aren't supposed to do anything with the Black Lotus but I didn't make that clear; that will be fixed in the next patch (due sort-of soon). Have you dealt with the other part of the Black Lotus plot? (read your journal if you're not sure). I don't think you've dealt with the problem of Portpentyrch yet either - if not, head back to Government District Westside because you need to talk to someone there.

Hey,

thanks for the quick reply. I actually loaded an old save and played the Hold part again and I noticed a couple of things that I wanted to tell you about so you can address them in a patch if you want to:

(1) I now know why I wasn't aware of the Government District connection: After I defeated all the red soldiers, I talked to the Caravan Master and he told me to look for the young wizard. Since I couldn't find him, I just talked to him again and he acted like I actually talked to him (thus, I was never told about the other guy in the Government District). So there is something wrong with the variables, I assume.

(2) Jaheira needs to be present when talking to the demon in the light house, otherwise the dialog won't be completed (she's making a remark on the location of the hold). This is also true when you talk to the young red wizard in the Hold. If Jaheira is not present, the dialog won't finish. So maybe make it mandatory that the whole party has to be present to venture further.

(3) the demon in the light house talks about a chest behind him, but I don't see anything to click on there.

(4) the first time I arrived at the Hold, the majority of the people were all spawned in the same spot (way in that narrow hall passage in the back). When I played the Hold the 2nd time, everybody was spread and in the correct location. I noticed the same when I went to the Caravan location, this time the wizard and all the mercenaries were spawned in the same spot (North West of the map), this did not happen the first time around.

Just to make sure, what am I supposed to to do with the Caravan? I talked to the guy, he agreed to pay me for protection..am I supposed to just take the Black Lotus and kill everybody now? Or is there a subsequent quest? I haven't been to the Government District yet because I wanted to finish the Caravan part first.

Anyway, keep up the great work, I'm having a good time with the mod.

1. Needs fixing - thanks.

2. Looks like my InParty() definitions got screwed up. I have a nasty feeling that I forgot to account for a solo player - will check.

3. Urrgh. I thought I'd already deleted that line.

4. Already fixed for the next patch.

You need to go looking for the Black Lotus and get into a fight... after all, you're there to prevent it from getting to Athkatla. I have already devised an update that allows you to dispose of the Black Lotus after you've picked it up - it will be in the patch.

Yovaneth, I'm at standstill and appear to have the same issues as pozy did. Here's what I can tell you of my progress so far:

I cleared the Hold, then headed off to Cloudspeak and eliminated the caravan group.

I checked out the red-beamed house in Gov't. West but wasn't approached by the girl after I left the empty residence.

I'm not getting anything further out of the demon in Portpentyrch.

I have three journal entries so far (in order); "The Demon In The Lighthouse", "The Black Lotus Caravan" and "Cerendor Hold".



I take it I missed something along the way?

[Yovaneth]

Did you talk to Ailoth Tam in Cerendor Hold? Not to put too fine a point on it, he's hiding in the pisshouse ('restroom' to our American friends ).

Very clever! Thank you, I think it was the only room(s) in Cerendor I didn't thoroughly check out, lol. I'm in the midst of dwarven dungeon now - dealing with the countless undead and ever-shifting walls.

Onto find Harper help for Eildaren now...and I'm wondering if I've screwed myself out of the mod because of past decisions; Jaheira's not in the group on this particular BG 2 run and I completed the Harper's part of the game much earlier, so I'm not able to enter their enclave in the Docks anymore.

No, you haven't. Jaheira got slightly more interjections than the other party NPCs simply because of her Harper connections and because she already knew Garalial Geltareth.

Yovaneth, have there been any issues regarding the initial cavern above the Water's Edge? I'm searching for the Tiger's Eye flower and noticed a portioned off area in the southwest part of the cave that's inaccessible (due to cavern the walls). I used a Farsight spell to reveal what my characters can't see, so I know there's an exit and Skeleton Warriors, but I can't find an actual way into it.

[Shaitan]

Search and you shall find I used my thief.

[Stein]

I can't tell you how many times I walked right by it, as it were -- with my thief, lol. Patience is a virtue.

[Yovaneth]

I suggest you give your thief a good talking to. Or find a better one!
