Okay, when you have gotten the 15.000 needed to go get Imoen, you have two options.

Shadow thieves - Evil band of thieves, tortures people, blackmailing, general evil.

Vampires - Evil bloodsuckers, kills innocents, quite morbid creatures, and very evil aswell.

Now, notice that the word "evil" occurs in both of the descriptions, and since evil is the opposite of good, and if done alot, will shatter the balance for "neutral" characters. Now, listen to this:

Harpers - Neutral band of people, does not like evil, but they are not quite good either, now are they?

That is why i suggest a mod to be made, that creates a THIRD choice in getting Imoen, the harpers. And here is my opinion on how it could be done.

When you get out of chateu Irenicus, he kills the Shadow Theives, the Cowled wizzies come to the rescue, takes him and Imoen with them. Then when they have ported away, someone else ports in, right next to you, and (if you have one) your party.

1. Harper (No name yet) - "We have been watching you and your friend, she who just got kidnapped by the cowled ones. We know, they may seem to uphoold some form of "order", but inside, they all cary black hearts."

2 a) [CHARNAME] - I see, and who are you?
3 b) [CHARNAME] - Could you leave me alone? I have to go get Imoen.

4 Response to a) Harper - "I am one of those who harp, no more needs to be said."
Response to b) Harper - "Ah but you see, this is exactly what we can do."

5 Response to a). [CHARNAME] - Right, so what do you want?
Response to b). [CHARNAME] - Yeah right, get away from me.

6 Response to a). Harper - "We can get you to where Imoen is, and the magician who went with her, for a small fee."
Response to b). Harper - "That is quite foolish of you. All we want is to maintain some form of balance, and if you despise us, be assured, you will certainly be approached by far, far, evil entities, but as you wish. I will begone. [Dimension door away.]"

7 Response to a). [CHARNAME] - And what´s this "fee"?

8 Response to a). Harper - 17.000 golden lions, and, a few tasks.

9 d), Resonse to a). [CHARNAME] - 17.000! That is quite alot, but i may be able to manage it.
e), Response to a). [CHARNAME] - That is too much for me.
f), Response to a). [CHARNAME] - I see, and what are these, "tasks"?

I havnt come op with anything else, but basicly, if you accept, it would lead to a few neutral good/evil tasks, paying their fee, and some cool dialouge with Jaheira if she would be in your party.

So, what do you think?
