Hello, all. It's been a long time since I've been around (or had the time to play). Hope you all are well.
I picked up a copy of IWD2 and have been humming along through the early part of chapter 1. I have just finished the Orc fortress and have yet to come across Dereth's wife. Did I miss something, or does she turn up much later.
I found it curious when I went back to Dereth (after Shaengarne Bridge and the fortress) that he did not ask about or mention his wife... mayhaps he married my cute li'l ex-harpie

...
Would someone clue me in?
Also, at Shaengarne Ford, there was an Orc mage, an archer, a few fighters and a "runner" who sniped at me. I was able to dispatch the annoying buggers with bows but could not find a path to loot the bodies. I hate when that happens.
One last observation. This game seems to provide an awful lot of gold and potions for little or no effort. Considering the fact that I tend to need massive quantities of each, I shouldn't complain. Seems odd, though.
