Viconia, Aerie, Keldorn, Valygar and Jaheira

I really like this particular party. I don't want any details about character interaction if it can be helped. However, will any of these folks leave me because of Viconia? I could get rid of her but I really like her in my party. What do you all think? Thanks,

Palanthas

 

Why did you use the name of a city on Krynn?

 

Why not? Why did you asked this question? To show that you know this name?

 

Why do you use Palanthas?

 

I think that Keldorn will leave because he is a paladin and Viconia is evil.

 

Actually, I don't think Keldorn leaves... I'm pretty sure he kills (or attempts to kill) Viconia if both are in your party for too long.

 

I've been thinking. I should never have let Minsc go. Forget Keldorn. If he's going to be that high maintenance I'm not going to worry about it. I just like Viconia- her conversations are very interesting.

By the way, I did not realize I had used the name of a DragonLance city until you all brought it up. I hadn't read those books in years! That name just popped into my head. Thanks for your input folks.

Just wondering: what class is your main character? You seem to be a little light on the mage front since Ariee can cast only up to level six spells.

 

Don't worry about it. I took my ranger to the end with your party, replacing Valygar with Imoen. How the hell are you playing without a thief anyway? Keldorn will grumble about Viconia but being the decent chap that he is, despite his paladin status, will not attempt to harm Viconia.

 

My main character is a fighter/thief. I was disappointed by the lack of this multi-class in the game so I decided to be one.

You're right. I am a little short on Mage spells and quite heavy on clerical ones. I think I'll be able to manage though. Any suggestions?

Since you're a thief, take Edwin along and dump either Valygar or Keldorn.

 

I already ditched Keldorn for Minsc last night and I must say its good to have him back. On a previous run I went all the way to the UnderDark but quit because I thought I wasn't going to get to do all of the quests given in Chapters 2 and 3 and started over.

Anyway, the point is. . . I never saw Edwin. Where is he located? And isn't his alignment Chaotic Evil? Everybody at this point seems to abide with Viconia but I don't know what another evil fella might do to my party unity. Also my reputation continues to go up. I am at 15 now. I don't want to kill innocents. How might I bring down my reputation say like 2 points? Any ideas? Lot in that one. Thanks folks,

Turn into the Slayer, you will loose 2 rep points. Then quickly turn back before you start to die.

 

Pal if you do the thieves guilds quests you will meet him. He'll only join you if you do his quest (a big no no for nice little paladins).

 

Well,
I'm looking to lower my reputation about 4 points or so. Which thieve's guild quest? The one from Renal Bloodscalp? I don't have Yoshimo in my party. Gotta keep Viconia happy ya know?

Edwin is found in the Mar Ver guildhall quest obtained from Renal Bloodscalp. Following this quest through should put you in contact with Edwin. If not, he is on the third floor of the guildhall. I would suggest either dumping Jahiera or Vionca for a mage of some sort. What you need in your party is your key as to who to dump. Vionca is obviously the better cleric, but Jahiera can be an excellent backup fighter when called upon. However, Jahiera will only be able to cast up to level 6 druid spells and I don't believe she gets any bonus spells because of her low wisdom. With Ariee and one of the above, you chould have plenty of clerical power. Now who to pick up in return. I like Imoen the best, but since you are a fighter/thief not opposed to having evil doers in your party, Edwin is probably your choice. Incidently, if you did run into him and have just forgot about it, Edwin is at the Copper Cornet at the top of the stairs. Since you do not need a thief, Nalia is also an ok choice for mage if you don't want another evil party member such as Edwin. Hope my suggestions help.

 

Incidently, quesitions such as "how do I lower my reputation to keep this evil person from leaving my good party" will probably get you some nasty comments. Anyway, just to keep them from coming my way for answering your question, I play strictly good/neutral or evil/neutral parties. But if you really wish to bring down your rep, here's a couple of ideas:

Since you are a thief(partly) by trade, try stealing and getting caught at it. Then you get to challenge and kill all those uppity Cowled and Amnish guard. Great fun.

Another idea is to let Vionca kill someone she isn't too fond of. She is evil, after all. Let her have some fun. Just don't take part, and smack her around afterward to bring her back in line with the party and teach her a valuable lesson.

 

Edwin is NOT in the Copper Coronet. Damn, Crawl, I know you hate powergamers but you don't have to resort to that. Do the Mae'Var quests and if you're a goody two shoes paladin, and they bother you, just do the quests in a 'nice' way. (yes, there is one!)

 

Shura, once you kicked Edwin out he IS at the CC.
As for lowering rep: its a valid point for ever party not consiting of only good characters (plus you not being paladin).
If your e.g. true neutral you HAVE to do something about your rep; so after being boyscout for a week you just live it up the next week
The best thing I heard of in that direction is (after the underdark) using slayer (never tried it myself), which gives -2 on rep.
