Please help with Bug!

I have encountered a possibly game ending bug that I need some help with. I have played through BGII without engountering this and would appreciate any help or suggestions. Here it goes:

I have just accepted the 3rd Quest from the shadow thieves, the first assult on Bodi's tomb. I enter the area under the graveyard, and procede to her lair in the north. When I get there the golem and the mage that are supposed to arrive and remove the slab over her tomb are nowhere to be found. The slab, however, has been removed, and I have access to the first hallway leading towardes her tomb. The hallway is flanked by several statues, and has a locked door athe the end whis is also flanked by 2 large statues. This door is locked, and I cannot pick, bash, or knock it open. I get a "sence of dread...." msg when I try to pick the lock. If I remember correctly from my previous games, a vampire is suppose to arrive right after the mage and golem finish removing the slab, dialog starts, and then I am supposed to be engeged by the vampire and some kind of specteral undead.....I believe this event has somehow been bypassed, and thus I cannot open the door to the vampire liar....and thus am STUCK! Please help me! ANY advice, suggestions, ect. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

This is most definitely a bug. After you talk to the mage, he gets killed, the golem wanders off, and a vampire walks through the locked doors that you couldn't open. You could try reinstalling the game, rebooting, or otherwise look for a patch on internet that fixes the problem. If you still can't get it to work, borrow the game off someone else and try installing that onto your pc, because I'm pretty sure its a file or two that you're missing. I'm sorry that I can't help you further. Good luck anyway!

Thanks...but I still can't find any help. Do you know of any sites that I can go to to search for bug fixes? ANYONE ELSE?

Try Baldurdash - look under the SoA bug fixes page.

Alternatively, have you installed the patch??

MMM....Have Patch installed, and have tried Baulderdash....no help there. There is a Bodi Lair inaccessable fix on baulderdash, but it is for people who accepted Bodi's offer, I did't, and the patch doesn't solve my problem

I used Cheat codes to jump to the other side of the door, but that doesn't help either. Now I don't know what to do. I need to trigger the Vampire event somehow.
