I am only early on in the game and have hit a bit of a dilemma (well several).

1.One of my party members has been cursed (female), and two others picked up in the city are pestering me about their quests. For one (Anomen?-male)i have helped him to find his farther in the gov district. However, the girl (Nalia?) keeps asking about her home in the hills, unfortunately i am in the city on one edge of the world map and the hills she speaks of are on the other. Therefore i need to leave the city (or do i?). Am I able to help the cursed lady or should i leave her to find other party members?

2.Also are there any areas that i can use to practice combat and skills etc.? and how do i get there? Note - constantly trying to be ambushed is becoming tiresome!, especially as i can't use magic.

3.Viconia-female, dark elf quest, how should i go about trying to free her?

4.Male dwarf in gov. district - he appears to have vanished, is he likey to return? note- i prevented his arrest.

Any help is welcome

1-If she is cursed go to temple and buy Remove Curse. It might be possible that the person who is cursed is Jaheira. This particular curse is part of a quest and cannot be removed via Remove Curse spell.

2-I think no.


3-Well Anomen is a good Cleric but do a Search becuase there are several threads about who is better Cleric. Each to his own i suppose.

4-The Dwarf you are talking about is not Dwarf but Gnome(I know SixofSpades will not agree with it [img]smile.gif[/img] ). Are you sure you prevented his arrest? If you are you maybe have a bug. Do you have all patches(Official and Baldurdash?)

Okey-dokey. Activating Hint Engine.
Just like in real life, people tend to pester you to do things ASAP. ;) However... most quests do not have time limits, and you can literally let them rot in the darkest pits for years before heroically rescuing them from their misery to much cheers and applause. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The curse however... does indeed have a time limit. If you recall, she mentioned several areas where you can start looking for help or clues. Read through your journal and think about it. You might want to save the game at this point in case you run out of time.

To nudge you in the right direction... go back to the Copper Coronet where there is a person who happens to know the afflicted one( the cursed one). [img]smile.gif[/img]
Corruption is key to using magic the easy way. ;) The other being... demanding the right to use magic, by force if necessary. :D
"Touching" the ropes might be a good idea. ;)
Gnome actually. Go to the Slums. He lives there.

And in order to leave the city, you have to actualy go through the city gates. And I mean, actualy walk though the actual physicaly city gates. Just leaving from the city gates sector isnt enough. Youd be surprised how many dont realise this.

Anyway, once youve done that you can just walk to de'arnise and the other areas that will become available.

1. if Jaheira was cursed by a mage in a lil scene at the sea's bounty... u'd better help her.... she has about 2 weeks to live. u can prolly finish Nalia's De'Arnise hold and finish anomen's quest before this limit... but.... its only proper u help jaheira first... go speak with Bernard in the copper coronet and go to the government district into the council building and ask a man inside (Corneil?) about hiring mages as mercanaries... (while ur there speak to the woman in front of the "throne" to finish Anomen's quest) go outside and speak to the hooded mage next to the front door of the building (make sure u have bout 1000 gold or use charisma potions and have at least 500) after ur done jez go to the "derelict house" in the slums... i tried to keep this spoiler free so err... dont blame me if i ruined it for u
2. go to a secluded area like the temple ruins or something and hunt some animals! practice all u want on them MWAHAHAHA ( my char is a ranger btw )
3. (im sorry im not here yet)
4. hmm... go to the slums district the house really stands out (covered with plants) and when u place ur cursor over it a question mark appears.... go down to the basement (the turnip room where else) to talk with him

i hope that helped!

Since all your other questions have been answered I would just like to add that if you want to use magic in the city go to the government district and talk to the cowled wizards. If you want more info on this just ask.

Yes but only Mages have to pay. Priests(Clerics,Druids) can use Magic at will. Comes handy you know.

Jinny, how is giving somebody the solution to a quest "spoiler free"?

i merely gave him instructions no dialogue... he obviously seemed confused.... i tried to help him out. i basically regurgitated what was already in his journal....

Well actually, to what I have discovered is that if you are ambushed while traversing the city, (meaning alley ways, so long you aren't in a district) You can do magic there and no Cows will come and bother you.
