Poisoned...ugh...ack...help

I wish my name was Baggins · 09-13-2002, 12:18 PM

Okay here is my problem. I was bullied and apparently poisioned by Lothander and Marek. I talked to Lothander, saw the diviner, went to the two temples, cured his geas, got his half of the antidote, went to the blushing mermaid talked to Marek, killed Marek, and yet I have had no indication either way of whether or not I am cured. I have both halves of the antidote but only one character can drink it???? Am I still poisioned? Am I not doing something? Help...the world...going black....hard...to...breathe...ack!

There are 2 possible ways to find out.
a) Let the 10 days pass and see if you survive.
b) You get experience and a message when the poison is cured (happens after you kill that guy, not when you HAVE the potion). Did that happen?

Yes I have killed him (Marek) but no I have had no message of experience or cure...Am I doing something wrong?

I had the same problem. You should be in no danger whatsoever. I got both antidotes and killed Marek. No message and no exp. fortunately no death either.

I am happy about not dying yet at the same time i am curious about how much HP I am getting screwed out of?

I wish my name was Baggins · 09-13-2002, 05:06 PM

oops I guess that XP would be the proper term

You see the text message,
"You have been cured of Marek's poison."
"The Party has Gained Experience: 2000"
Right after you get done talking to Marek in the Blushing Mermaid. Of course, not many people notice it, because by that point, he's casting Confusion on you. So you may have gotten it, it just zipped by before you saw it.

Don't overwrite your oldest Save--keep it somewhere and don't delete it. Then, if 10 days pass and you're still alive, don't worry and be happy.

Do you really die after 10 days ?
I just killed the geas-guy outright because i was quite sure nobody could ever poison a spiffy guy like me. I did get a message " You're feeling dazed .. blablabla, you'd better see lathander", but that was kinda hard 'cause he was
-partially- under my foot.
Am i screwed ?

Arwyn the Betrayer · 09-14-2002, 09:02 AM

Yes, you're screwed.
Better finish the rest of the game FAST.
