live, is it me and the Rapax against everyone else?

No. The reason you kill Al-Sedexus is to unhex whoever had the "night of joy". Get her paralyzed in the first round and she won't call in any help.

Killing her does not lower your Rapax ratings.

Being a Templar has no effect on your other faction ratings. One game, I didn't do Trynton until after becoming a Templar. The Trynnies didn't mind.

Even if you stay on good terms with the Templars, you still end up fighting the Prince & Co. at Ascension Peak. No way around that.

Uh - my party is all female, uh, so is Al-Sexudus
a lezzie? I don't see any evidence of the one I chose being hexed. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

The person you chose will be hexed when you destroy the "mako cannon" outside the Arnikan walls.

The "chosen person" is fine until you leave the castle/rift area. At that point he/she is hexed and also begins losing hitpoints. This is why most players decide Al-Sedexus must go ;)

P.S. That's any location outside the two Rapax areas. It is not related to the Savant's tower in Arnika, except that the tower is outside the safe zone for the character.
