Possible Bug....again!?!?!?

    I must have bad luck with computers or something...Anyway, after a hard days adventuring I go back to my guild to find that someone named Tarcemir or something like that. He walks up to me like he's about to initiate dialog, but he never does. He just stands by me. And now, since he's trying to talk to me, I can't rest or save. I really hope I don't have to start over, because that's getting old real quick. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

    EDIT: I just checked, and the guys name is Terminsel.

    Terminsel is actually Elminster, the mightiest mage in Faerun. As far as I know, he doesn't show up in the SOA part of the game (aside from a fake version in the underwater city) so if he's there it's a bug or an incompatible mod.

    He shows up if you have Jaheira in your party and have suitably progressed through her disputes with the Harpers.

    That's odd. Does it matter if Jaheira (or your PC) is shapeshifted? And make sure your guys aren't silenced too. Just stating the obvious. :)

    Niether me or Jaheria is shapeshifted, and there are no status abnormallities...I'm sort of mad that things like this happen because now I'm probably going to have to start over.

    Yep, that's Elminster, and it completes the Jaheira romance. He gives you quite a bit of XP, and a pretty good amulet. Looks like you won't get that though. Killing him would be - difficult - at best. Try setting it on easy and laying the smack down on him. I wouldn't hold my breath though...

    Ah, of course. I've read about that but never come across it in a game of mine.

    It's not possible to kill him from what I've heard. As he just turns up to deliver a piece of dialogue and an item, the game designers didn't bother including a proper battle AI for him. Besides, at the level you'd be facing him at, he'd kill the whole party no problem.

    Yeah...well, they forgot to give him dialog! At any rate, killing him would probably be impossible (I'm only Lvl 12!), because he simply protects himself from pretty much everything, then casts Time Stop ect. ect. So...I guess I can't finish my Jaheriah romance? :(

    Surround him with traps, then get away from him. Cast some offensive spells and fire a few arrows etc. (at same time). Should do him.

    Elminster has a spell contingency to teleport him away in the event of him being badly injured. At least in the FR setting he does. I bet the same thing occurs here.

    Have you tried enabling the cheat keys and then using Ctrl-Y on him?
    I don't know if this'll work or not, but it may.

    Before you run into him with that, you could use the CLUA console to pop him in, and hopefully, he will initiate dialogue.

    BTW: The CLUA console command is in DSimpson's walkthrogh of BG2 on Gamefaqs.

    Well, I already uninstalled and started a new one, and got actually very far for one day of play. If I run into this problem in this new game, I'll try it. Thanks!
