    I'd take Jan along, he can open locks, disarm traps and cast spells. Life's easier with a thief. ;)

    Edit: He's also hillarious. :D

    You really need thief. not because of lock picking, but major reason is traps. you can't possibly run over trap and say: "ok, I'll disarm it later" and you forget and run over again.and if you get thief too late i'll make huge difference in Level. if you loot too late, i'll be just waste of time(I hate it!). and also, thieves get special abillity:Backstabbing! it's wonderful mage-killer.
    And what strays?

    Shrikant: Well I didn't give spoilers...just hints I think, and I said nothing directly about the plot!

    I agree with Chickavalier that you need a thief but I prefer Yoshimo over Jan. Love those special traps. Plus it's a waste of time going back to an area just to loot when you could've/should've done it the first time you were there. Without a thief you may not be able to open doors/pick locks and might miss some good or important stuff!

    All right, I cleared de'Arnise keep to get what? 650 gold from Nalia! (though some items I found made big bucks) I expected more after all I've done! Killing that troll boss (TorGal, was it?) was hard, you know?!

    Whatever, I cleared Windspear hills of disguised paladins and now, I'm looking for that bozo who offered me 10,000 gold if I took care of some ogres.
    (I forget a lot of names! I think it was Jierdan Firekaag or something) and most likely kill him for kidnapping a innocent person and messing with me. Where can I find this guy?

    There is a dungeon in the Northeast Corner. He is in there. But be careful, everything is not what it seems...
    If you want gold, do the Unseeing Eye quest in temple district. And also working for Renal Bloodscalp (He is in an orange building in the docks district) is profitable

    Oh oh. You didnt take Nalia along did you. That is a bug which seems to have cropped up lately on XP comps. If you dont take Nalia along, she gives you only a pathetic amount as reward. The real reward amount, which you get if she is in your party when you exit from the keep after killing Torgal, is nearer to 10,000GP. Generally finishing the keep and selling unwanted items would net you enough to start chapter 3.

    Firekaag ... :evil: So how was it? Did you go Fcuk! when you met him :lol:

    Firkragg in in Dungeon and if you meet him I'm sure that you will be shocked.
    P.S:are you evil?

    Oh, well I drop a lot of tasks for later so I dropped the "Firkraag" quest for later. Now, I'm in the Unseeing Eye quest. I killed a Shade Lich, a green beholder and now I'm getting my ass kicked by the Empath Manifestation. Not much happenin'.

    No, you should NEVER drop Firkragg quest because you are PALADIN! and if you do it you will know why I'm saying that.go Back IMMIDIATELY! or else you will regret and die due to massive damage in both your puny body and soul

    You can't kill Empathic Manifestation with regular ways.Search the altar.You will find some clues.

    @Chickavalier

    The Empathic Manifestation is the guardian in the temple where you retrieve a piece of a certain artifact involved in the Unseeing Eye-quest.

    @Dark Slayer
    you are misunderstanding things. paladins are not disguised, but transformed. paladins don't/can't go around turning to ogre,wyvern, etc and pillige places.
    and have you paid him?(the guy who wants 20000 gold)
    and do Firkragg quest first. it is one of best quest ever(for paladins) and profitable. it'll make life much easier.
    @Marcus_Giden
    What temple? do you mean temple of Helm? I've never met him/her when I was doing unseeing eye

    Okay, I finished the Unseeing Eye quest, got 6000 gp and a mace as a reward. I met Gaelan Bayle and he dropped th price to 15,000 instead. So, I paid the man and got a key from him. Now, I'm in the Firkragg quest. I got attacked by a Ruhk Transmuter and a few Kamikaze Kobolds. I escaped the transmuter and killed myself some orc archers.

    I was amazed at how quickly Anomen killed 2 stone golems with nothing more than casting Spiritual Hammer, Draw Upon Holy Might and Magic Resistance. I'm now having troubles with the few Vampires just ahead.

    Vampires? ... Anomen to the rescue again ... Negative Plane Protection.
    Although, maybe you should have gone a bit further in trying to get to Imoen.

    @ Chickavalier
    The Empathic Manifestation is the 'demon' you kill by healing, where you get part of the rod.
    @ DS
    The cleric spell Sunray works wonders with undead, also try the cleric ability 'turn undead'.

    the Heal-to-Kill demon? you don't get rod from him/her. Avatar gives it to you. I saw someone killing unseeing eye with rod THEN killing demon...... and also, he's just beginner and unless he has daystar, Anomen wouldn't be high enough level to cast 7th level spells.
    Who's Ruhk Transmuter and Kamikaze Kobolds? I've never met any transmuter and kobolds in Windspear Hills
