    [​IMG] Found it! :mad:
    Or should I say - not found it! :mad:

    My mistake, sorry... I researched whole bunch of game files and trully there is no Imprisonment scroll in the whole game!
    However...

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Now this is the whole story:

    I was slicing and dicing files after I finished the game for the first time. And I spotted some created stores that you can't get in the game itself - they were left out by game creators.

    One of these stores is in Copper Coronet (Bernard). And with official patch you get new Bernard's dialog file (BERNARD.DLG).

    So, I actually removed Bernard.dlg from Override folder and used hex editor to test those stores you can't ever get activated.

    Now, there are 6 different Bernard stores: BERNARD, BERNARD2, BERNARD3, BERNARD4, BERNARD5 and BERNARD6 (as I saw in CHITIN.KEY file). In the game you can get only BERNARD and BERNARD2 stores.

    So, I just replaced BERNARD2 with others in DIALOG.BIF file (DATA folder). Lastly I tried BERNARD6 (replaced all occurences of BERNARD2 with BERNARD6 in DIALOG.BIF file in DATA folder). I saw what is in there, made a note on my (toilet) papers and that was it.

    And then, when I was done, I was suposed to move BERNARD.DLG file back to OVERRIDE folder - and, of course, I forgot to do it! :mad:
    Until I spot today in my SHITWORK folder (that's the name I use to store smashed files) this BERNARD.DLG file. Man, I was furious :mad:

    That BERNARD.DLG file should/would nullfy all my changes in DIALOG.BIF file - and since I forgot to get it back to it's place, the second time I played the game I had Imprisonment scroll and more things available to buy at Bernard's when Hendak promises a discount.


    Damn me, damn my memory! :mad:
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    So, again, sorry, there is no Imprisonment scroll in the game, what happened to me is bloody CHEAT! And now I'm :mad:!
    Zaragoth if you hated cheats and cheaters as much as I do, you wouldn't ask for smile, trust me.


    Luckily, I'm playing the game again and you noted this thing, so goodbye my previous hero! Thanx all!


    /me deletes previous hero permanently as he would wipe out any cheater :mad:

    Here's another for your list: the druid you fight at the grove is Faldorn from BG1...I think that was her name.
