Hi all I've just had a problem with two quests and linked it to Aloth using Gyrd Haewanes Stenes. Yesterday I was doing "At all costs" and partway through the fight all the Valians turned hostile and didn't recover. (Tried to post then but had troubles with internet). I play on and I've just returned to the Valian embassy after Twin Elms. The same thing happened. I thought it was Kana and removed him from my party but when I started the fight it occurred to me that the problem had started after Aloth had cast the slicken spell to keep the bad guys off the Ambassador. I kept Aloth out of the fight and they remained friendly. To test my theory I reloaded and had Aloth cast slicken. As soon as it did it they all turned hostile. I know I was using this spell when I did "at all costs" but I'm not sure whether it's just that spell or all actions with GHD. LJElf

Hi Aartz This was actually a pretty good wake up call to the dangers of being Charmed. I'm wondering if it should really be fixed given Felix/Fido etc can be resurrected so easily? Hmm... should pets really be indestructible? Maybe they should be maimed and have to rest with the rest of the party? I may have accidently posted something a few minutes ago that I tried to delete as I wasn't making sense. (Not sure I am now either). LJ

Hi Aartz Yes, my Chanter has 'Come, come soft winds of death'. She's also using 'the Dragon Thrashed, the Dragon wailed." I was fighting the giant spores deep in Caed Nua. My chanter was the only one left standing with the health bars nearly empty. This went on for several minutes and I'm amazed I won in the end. I was summoning phantoms and drakes which didn't have muct effect except to distract the spore long enough for my chanter to recover from being charmed or stand behind and whack with staff. I've still on 'L' plates with summoning Drakes so I there may well have been 'friendly fire' involved there too. I didn't like Kana at first so I hadn't used him much. Kana was with me for this fight too but passed out fairly early (I think). He also has the death chant. I really like that one and both chanters have it on all chants. Oops. I'll have use a 'death' free chant if there is a charm risk in future. I'd noticed that the death chant affects allies but only just rememebered. So I probably killed my pet and knocked everyone else out while charmed. Eder was the last standing with me and he has the most endurance. I knew I'd handled it badly and nearly quit. Kitty's healthy again but maybe I'll put my pet in Eder's backpack if things look dicey. LJ

I've read old post that says that pets aren't supposed to die. Not sure if it's a bug or just collateral damage. Anyway, big battle and at the end 'the cutest cat' was dead. Awwr... For a moment I considered whether I would have to load an earlier save. I took 'the cutest cat' out of the pet slot and transferred to the stash and then retrieved. Kitty successfully resurrected. I thought I'd post this in case anyone had similar problems. Assume it works with all pets. I was in the epic battle with giant spores deep in Caed Nua and barely survived it. Easy difficulty. Not sure whether this is a technical bug so please moderator if I've posted to the wrong forum could you correct? LJ

No Aarik This one's only a few days old. I'm playing a druid on easy. Two other things I noticed about this particular run through: The Caed Nua Steward didn't warn me about Lord Byrnwigar having a Cruel reputation although it came up normally in the dialogue. The courtesans outside the Salty Mast are wearing clothes (not that it bothers me). I checked the Blackhammer Smithery to see if I'd accidently sold it (hadn't sold anything anywhere else) although I was pretty sure I hadn't. I also checked all my out of party characters. Maybe I'm just having some problems with this one. I'm not going to stress over it but please keep this in mind if other people start having problems. LJ

Hi all I know that this is an old post but I've just had it happen to me. I tried re-enchanting as suggested but it didn't work. Is there a specific enchantment you need to add or has this solution stopped working. Thanks LJElf

Hi I know this is an old post but I've just had this happen to me. Enchanting the Sabre is not working. Is there a specific enchantment you need to put on it to make the solution work? Or has the solution stopped working? LJElf

Hi I've been playing Story time and notice that adventurers are created with their health bars half full. I thought it was supposed to be this way to encourage you to rest more often but now I'm not so sure. They also come in with lower health from party management but not all the time. I can't find anything that mentions Story Time after doing a search on the forums. It's not a big deal but it's starting to bug me. I'd like to know whether this is the way it's supposed to be. Thanks. LJ

Thanks a bunch. LJ

Hi I'm using the storytime option. I defeated the White Elves in Noonsong and plugged the breach. Then I rescued Alwah and left the temple. When I re-enter the Maw I go into combat mode but there are no enemies left to kill. Which means there is no way to exit combat mode and leaves me stuck in the maw unable to talk to anyone. So far I have: Tried using the autosave after exiting Noonsong. Using manual save in temple before battle with elves in place the breach needs to be plugged. Doing more quests before returning to Maw. I considered going to an even earlier save but I decided to check the forums and see if anyone is having similar problems. (I looked at fourteen pages so sorry if someone has already posted this problem) Going forward I haven't had any problems although I'm having trouble finding the woman in Elmshore. The Ogres were back in the cave (already defeated and Bounty Hunted) so I'm not sure that's right. I have played the game this far before in easy mode. No problems re-entering the Maw but I wasn't doing the 'repair the breach' quest. Another issue I'm having which doesn't seem to have been posted is that the Stronghold task screen doesn't tell me that I've got someone assigned to rescue Lord Sidroc. Having same problem with Mob and Captain outside Caed Nua as everyone else but chose to ignore - thanks for information in forum. LJ
