Just off the boat at Spellhold I'm attacked by some vampires. Aerie cast a Holy Schmite, and suddenly Sime is attacking me. That tells me that Sime is evil. But do I want to be killing this girl? Something tells me to avoid using holy smite b/c Sime will probably have some further role in this game. And the captain? Should I axe him b4 he gets through his dimension door? Ah, so many choices. I guess if I'm to stick to not cheating I'd have to accept Sime's death and the captain's escape.

(MiNOR SPOILER)Sime is not a crucial part in this chapter. I had a bug where her nor saemon would say anything. I got into Spellhold fine. However it is crucial to let the captain live...he ends up getting you out of the asylum

Thanks for the input. Now I'm wondering, was it a mistake to come to the island with 6 characters? If this is indeed where I rescue Imoen, then I'll have to leave someone behind. Hmm.

Spoiler, BIG ONE if you don't wanna know then don't read further

It depends, if you brought the ever too eager thief yoshimo with you, then you will not need to ditch anyone of your choice, he will turn on you instead, leaving an empty spot for Imoen. If on the other hand you do not have him in the party because you didn't trust him, or simply didn't think he was good enough.. (which is kinda hard they make him decent enough a thief that you'll want to keep him) then you shall have to give up a party member to retrieve Imoen

nuts. I don't have Yoshimo since I, myself am part thief. Well, I guess I'll reload an archived game. Now who to leave behind...There are so many cool NPC's in this game I hate to leave anyone behind.

whos in your party?

well you dont need to restart even if you dont have him he will be there ....

If you left Yoshimo at the Copper Coronet, he will still be there when you eventually get back...however, he will literally die of fright and/or shame as soon as he sees you. Pick up his heart and take it to Jan's house (right down the street) for some MAJOR EXP!!!

About adding Imoen...you may want to try telling her to get out on her own. I don't know if she ends up back on the mainland or not, but it's worth a shot. Just make sure you SAVE a copy of the game before you talk to her. Then send her out alone. If that option doesn't work, you can always come back and add her to the party. That will also give you more time to decide who to kick out.

My party right now consists of a swashbuckler mage, Mazzy, Keldorn, Jaheira, Nalia and Aerie. I decided to leave Nalia behind in my planar sphere so I can pick up Imoen. I'm anxious to see what'll happen, if anything, with Yoshimo. I took him out of the Copper Coronet earlier and just left him in the sitting room of the planar sphere...along with everyone else that I didn't use in my party.
