I know this isn't on the original topic, but it still has to do with the DeArnise quest, and I could probably find my answers somewhere else in the forums if I could search, so please accept my apology if I'm posting something that you've all seen and answered before. And if you're very new to the game please don't read further, as I don't want to spoil a single thing for you.

I just recently re-started my game because I made a stupid mistake and didn't have a back-up save that went far back enough.. but I'm past where I was now and think I did something stupid again. Ok.. before I left the city, I did a ton of the city quests.. I figured, "why travel so far when you can butt-kick for goodness right here?" So eventually I wanted the flail of ages (just easier for me to kill trolls with by switching to that weapon than using up a mage spell or carrying around fire/acid arrows all the time), and then became Lady of the Keep so I left some of my stuff there, including the jewel for the Equalizer.. thinking it'd be safe. Still hoping. After helping Nalia I did a bunch of quests in Trademeet and then went back to check on the Keep and do my duties there. When I was done, I went to Linvail and we set sail for Brynnlaw. Um. I only checked on the Keep once. I can't get back there to check on it again (or can I? I'm in the Underdark now).. are they going to kick me out of the Keep and am I going to lose all my loot? I sure don't want to have to start over AGAIN because none of my saved games go back further than sometime after arriving in Brynnlaw. Any help here?

A side note - ever since saving Annoy-men's butt at Saerk's house he hasn't said a darn word to me. Hasn't even picked me a flower or anything.. yeah, I did the romance with him the 2nd time, too - tried Kelsey but didn't like him at all, I just wanted to beat him up, so.. what can I say? I want my nookie and Annoy-men looks better in the sack than Kelsey did. Is the romance stuff over? I'm really getting tired of "Verily, I am pleased with the progress this ill-conceived group has made." And the dude says it in the middle of battles, after resurrecting Aerie when I forget to cast her protective spells, after learning I've lost my SOUL, etc. I think the only one who makes comments at the appropriate times is Lilarcor, really.

Thanks for any friendly replies..
Eowyn "I married a Gnome" Jansen. <- Only you people would believe the teasing I got from a fellow BG2 player when he found out that's my married name. Sigh!

P.S. Another question - I remember reading that Jan had hilarious dialogues with another NPC if you have them both in your party, obvioulsy.. who is it, Anomen? I would really like to have my Gnomish cousin in the party.. especially if he goes at it with Anomen. Any suggestions as to what other NPCs I should have along with Jan and Anomen, if it is indeed Anomen that Jan keeps trading insults with.. and since I don't want to drop any of my other NPCs later, I guess I'd have Yoshimo, too. Are Jan and Imoen similar in talents? There hasn't been much party dialog since Spellhold so I suppose I could drop him for Imoen.. not that she's a great contributor or anything. She's like a walking bottle of haste, still, I want her with me. So, how many questions did I have up there? 3 o4 4 huh? Ok, anyone who can answer any of the above, I thank you ahead of time. Happy 4th of July to all the Americans out there.. and happy day to the rest of the world.
