I am rather flustered at the moment so I thought I'd better come to Ironworks to take a few deep breaths and settle down before I turn into the slayer and attack my computer in a fit of rage.
After about ten epic battle reloads trying various things against Sendai, I finally won it with only one death in the party. Sendai likes to drop in the 'harm spell' every now and again in melee and I never rotated ol' Korgy fast enough. But his sacrifice wasn't all in vain, when she finally fell.
Or so I'd hoped...
Ok, now - the very act of resurrecting a character is not something I do normally ever in an RPG, unless its almost semi-urgent and feels almost forced. Its just a second ed D&D thing I used to fear, not liking the inevitable -1 to CON it used to cost. But here, because this battle is just so gruelling, I feel justified in wanting to do it.
A problem arose in finding a place of repose so that I could memorise a raise dead spell, of which the only I have is the HLA, Mass Raise Dead. You get ambushed by drow if you try in Sendai's enclave (as you should!) but I was desperate. So in order to do this, I used the pocket plane back to the planar stronghold. I did this WHILST Korgan was dead.
Ok, so I rest, I memorise Mass Raise Dead and bring him back. He's alive and calling us a 'grand lot' in his guttural way. Its great to have him back. However, its all in vain I tell you!
After I had the fantastic encounter with doubt, I then attempted to leave the planar stronghold again with my renewed party. But for some strange reason, I can not see or control Korgan!! He has disappeared, lost in a void i'm imagining...
I tried telling him to leave and getting minsc to join (I dumped him for Sarevok...) but this doesn't work either. I still arrive back outside the stronghold with only five characters. I figure that the game hasn't registered somehow that I now have a full alive party just because I left the enclave with only five characters alive. Thus, it still assumes Korgan is dead. Grr!
Any quick ideas?
I wonder if this has happened to anyone..eek, I should have checked.
I don't want to do the Sendai enclave again for the third time!
