After i killed the Trolls a while back, the 4 powerful items the Golems were guarding have disapeared along with the golems.

The Stronghold was my 3rd quest in the entire game. My guys only had +2 weapons. I was going to wait a while to challenge them and now its all gone.

Does anyone have a Explanation for this? Now i have a Flail Piece without the other one.

If the items cannot be retrieved. Can anyone tell me what they did?

1. Magic Axe
2. Magic Long Bow
3. Flail (Cold)
4. Some Staff i think

The items can be retrieved without even scratching a single golem.

First of all, the flail head can be taken out without even activating one of them, it's necessary to complete the flail of ages +3 (pretty damn fine weapon that my Anomen used till the end of the game)

To take any of the other items, simply leave all other characters out of sight and grab the things with either an improved invisible character (4th level spell, should be available) or even cheaper, with a sanctuaried priest (level 1 spell even).

The axe is a nice +3 axe with some extra cold and acid damage IIRC, the Bow is an elven court bow +3 (+4 THACO) and the staff can't be anything too special, 'cause I can't for the heck of it remember what it was (cleric's staff +3 possibly?).

Sadly, after you complete the quest both the golems AND the items will disappear (reclaimed by the household guards?).

i just love how Bioware puts this crap in games.

How the hell would you know it the golems and items would disapear?

I think its Sad
They should be reward for the Quest itself.

On another point, after completing the Umar Hills quest. Some boy at Waukeen Promenade tells me to go back and do the quest again even though i compelted it.

good Game, but its got some stupid errors

Yeah I had some guy walk up to me and tell me to go back to the circus.
When I got there I was told 'Oh you have already talked to ??????, that's Ok then'.
It really is annoying when these things get entered into your quests only to find out you have already completed them.

These people are prompts put into the game to get you to go and do the quests. If you have completed a quest allready simply ignore the prompt.

are you a fighter and did you accept stewardship of the keep? when you take over a keep (at least the fighter and thief ones) it switches maps and any items in the old map are lost forever so if you didn't collect the items yet or left anything important lieing around it is gone.
