Whew! So I survived the poison. Actually it wasn't a terribly difficult quest.
My Kirkus books were delayed in the UPS system due to the former tropical storm Ivo. They are stuck in Barstow. So I have one fewer day to get all that work done, but gained a day to play Baldur's Gate!
At the advice of the FAQ, however, I took a few chances in slaughtering people. I slaughtered the high priestess at the Water temple. She was surprisingly easy to slaughter. Did that because I wanted to keep and use the Tome of Wisdom that I was supposed to give her. Also she had some other nice loot.
I slaughtered both of the poisoners, including the mostly innocent one who was geased into trying to kill me. Did that because he had some more boots of speed. That's my second pair. I put them on Imoen.
And during all those quests, dear Imoen FINALLY got her thief abilities back! She can't advance in thievery--she'll stay at level 6 for that. But she can use a sword and a shortbow. During the course of the quest I also acquired a very nice shortbow for her.
Once I completed all that slaughtering, I headed back down to Beregost to retrieve the stuff I had stashed in Kagain's shop. Coran got some Ankheg armor--yay! I guess Imoen can't wear that any more, but her Robes of the Good Mage are better armor anyway.
Somehow I've lost or sold or stashed her really good bastard sword. I thought I had a special one for her, but maybe not.
Well, now that hurdle has been leaped, I'll have to get back to Baldur's Gate City and see if I can find more quests to do. I can't get into the Iron Throne headquarters yet, so obviously there's more going on there.
