    Looking at a walkthrough for the mission in chapter 2 where you are to keep the bridge from being destroyed says that if I talk to the leader (name starts with X cant remember it at the moment) I can prevent that for extra XP. Problem is that I get jumped when I enter that screen and end up fighting the one I am supposed to talk to.

    Any ideas?

    Approach her and she will intiate conversation with you. You gain experience if you call her bluff. She is just talking to you, stalling for time, while the ogres keep at the bridge. After the conversation she turns hostile, but not until. And to get the experience during the conversation you need to have a character with good intelligence talk to her. Somebody who can see through her bluff.

    Actually, it is not INT related, it's WIS related. Any person with high WIS will do.
    >>According to [Arachree Mae]
    "Talk to Xuki using a high wisdom (16-17 WIS) paladin or cleric (or just high wisdom, haven't try that one) first consider to talk peace out of it and then when she said this is a good offer, the wisdom will detects that it is too good an offer. Yields better xp than just talk hurriedly (1050)"

    However, i don't think Chrs's problem is regarding sending the right person to talk with Xuki since he/she was playing with the aid of a walkthrough.

    From the message, you indicated that whenever a person initiate conversation with Xuki, the conversation will jump out and the fight starts, is that correct? i was wondering, did you pick up anything from the conversation? Maybe the reason is in there.

    [​IMG] Chrs seems to not be able to get to the Bridge in time, because of the innitial Ganking when the map loads. My Suggestion Chrs, Make a Monk. Use the monk to Run past the starting mess, and go to the Bridge asap, use the rest of your party to kill the stuff off as you go.

    But have the Monk go to the bridge, talk to Xuki, and Kill the two ogres, At the Least. (Kill Xuki 2) This might help you prevent the bridge's destruction a little Easier. Good Luck!!

    Actually, my monk with 27 WIS was able to handle this conversation quite easily.
    So, it is WIS that counts not INT. However, you may need some diplomacy, but not sure.

    crs,

    which walkthrough are you referring to btw? My walkthrough addresses that issue, though what you are saying is not quite what I wrote (or intended to convey).
