    I'm taken a group through IWD II again (all half-orcs, which is great fun) and have reached the Ice Palace (which I hate since battlesquares takes forever) and I just noticed that Oswald left. Is that supposed to happen? I gave him a beetle shell which he was supposed to make a full plate of so... I've killed all enemies and have only level 10 of battlesquares left. I have not however, given Nathaniel his equipment (which makes him leave when you do that). But when I went back to ship I found Oswalds note saying that "Nathaniel was in a hurry to warn...". Is this a bug or does Oswald leave when all three priestess are dead regardless of if Nathaniel has gained all his equipment?

    Yes, once the ice wall is cleared you can progress. Oswald's departure coincides with this.

    But I thought he didn't leave before Nathaniel has been released (Nathaniel is the one who breaks the Ice Wall after all). And he hadn't left since I still got his equipment. Never trust Oswald I suppose...

    Defeating the 3 sisters is the requirement, I believe. Finding his stuff for him is merely a sidequest. I can't remember if it was Nathaniel or Nickodemus who melts the wall, though.
