Them Flamin' flaming fisters

[Meri]

okay....I've done the deeds, got the loot etc and now just want to trog around doing all the stuff I didn't do while pursuing the storyline. Everyone in BG comes up and tells me how nice I am for saving them from Dolly the sheep all except them Flaming fist who still want to run a sword through my rather pleasant visage.....how do I placate them? Ive shown Belt Dollys diary and rescued Elton John but still they keep attacking me!!... ye gods, its enough to turn a good girl bad!!

please advise before I do something they will regret

you have been accused of murder, and they will never leave you alone for the rest of the game. As long as you have the following items that you can get in the city, dont worry about the other quests.

*******SPOILER*********

Ring of Wizardy
Ring of Protection +2
Gauntlets of Ogre power
Gauntlets of Weapon Skill (2)
Helm of Glory
Helm of Balduran
Eagle Bow
Large shield +1, +4 vs. missles

i think thats it, maybe i missed a couple but once you have these items i would go ahead and continue on with the story line. Try to staw away from the Hall of Wonders map screen, i went there the 1st time i played the game after coming back from candlekeep, and i was attacked by 200 guards.

One way to placate the Fist is to use a certain Cloak against them. I'm told that the duration of the spell doesn't run out for 1000 game hours (or something like that), which should give you plenty of time to finish all the quests you're interested in.

Other items to get: Cloak of Balduran, Short Sword of Backstabbing, Battleaxe+2, Tomes of Clear Thought, Understanding, & Quickness of Action.
