unrelated personage

Hi guys,

I've come to the point where I have to raise Kachiko after I beat the two brothers in the fighting pit and killed or let Hitomi perform hari kiri. The problem that I encounter is that even if I cast a raise dead scroll on Kachiko, she still won't come to life. I have tried with all other party members but it was no good (Yoshimo, Sime, Aerie, Robilliard, the aquatic druid, and myself an elven assassin).
I even tried casting it on the coffin (I had a second scroll) but that had no effect either. She just stays blue and unconscious.

I only have vanilla BP installed, meaning, the things listed in the version G pdf to the letter and added to that I have installed the s_h v4 patch.
I have never been through Tortured Souls so I have no idea whether my problem is novelty or ancient news. At least I did a forum search and only found some minor info in the overall walkthrough.

Any ideas on what might have gone wrong?

Hello everyone,

I realised I still had my old account from when I helped with the bg1 banter pack, so I guess I'll use it.
I've been playing the big picture for a short while now and so far it looks good. I did encounter several problems which I haven't been able to find a solution for.

Minor problem 1. Xzar and Montaron.
After returning the body of teh wounded man to the Harpers Xzar nr 2 appears before I even get to meet the usual Xzar nr 1, so the bird quest would be skipped.

Now I was able to fix this by installing patch s_h_version .3 and now the bird quest had become available to me. After the assassination of Xzar, Xzar nr 2 pops up and suggests he joins me to retrieve Montaron. The problem is that now the Harper hold is locked.
Now I did have Jaheira into my party and I'm guessing that by doing her quest I will eventually get back into the hold and find Montaron then, but is the really the sequence of events that has to take place or did I run into something odd?

Minor problem 2. Kagain.
When I meet him in the Gate district he has a weird dialog which makes no sense at all so I kicked him out again. Upon leaving he does actually give a coherent goodbye but I'm iffy to pick him up again.


Large problem: Rejiek Hidesman
I was doing the skinning quest in Atkathla but when I go down after him I'm trapped by a bunch of thugs and Rejiek himself. After having some irritation from the extremely low thaco that these thugs seem to have I finally was able to dispatch of them more easily by a death spell. What did give me problems here is that Rejiek doesn't die or leave at all. I know he's supposed to run down the stairs according to the original quest but he just doesn't. He stays on "near death" permanently and stays hostile even after hitting him for over 500 damage and death spells don't work on him to get rid of him.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed because if I just blind him and leave him be I am curious if this will mess up his trademeet encounter and ruin my chance of getting the armor of flesh (playing evil this time).


Btw, if it is any help, I only have the recommended mods installed in combination with the big picture. So that is everything in the 161G install manual:
- SOA
- TOB + patch
- SoS + patches
- TDD + patches
- TS + patches
- Big Picture

Optionals:
- FR / RoV
- Wiemers Item Upgrade (only partials)
- Redemption
- Imoen Romance

Any suggestion would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
