    [​IMG] Come on, we've all done it when we want a certain NPC from a pair (or when we just don't like somebody), we arrange a tragic accident for them. So what are some of your favourite "accidents"?

    In my latest game:
    Khalid: Killed by ogrillions on the road from Beregost to Nashkell.
    Montaron: Killed by Silke. I actually reloaded a couple times to get this. Pretty stupid, I know.
    Xzar: "accidentally" walked on some traps in the Nashkell mines.

    I don't kill them, unless I'm evil. Last time I played I left Khalid alone in a cave, Xzar in the temple of Helm (I'm really evil :evil: ) and Montaron was killed mercifully by spiders.

    Yes but I raised Xan later because I wanted him in my party as my mage. He rocks.

    Since my party most likely bestows of Me, Khalid, Jaheira, Minsc, Dynaheir and Imoen I dont have to kill anyone. But sometimes when I play solo with an evil char I just kill them all myself as I go along. Broke my heart to kill Minsc the one time I did it. I heard Boo died by alcohol poisoning in the Elfsong Tavern 3 days later :(

    - Garrick offers to join you after you've killed Silke IIRC. And then she can't kill him.

    - Isn't Shar-Teel Angelo's daughter, I bet he wouldn't kill her.

    - How can Mulahey kill Xan, don't you get him after you've killed Mulahey(Maybe I'm wrong here)

    This' just my opinions though, they may not be right, but I think tha at least the first one is right...

    Garrick never joined me, he was killed in the battle.

    You can enter the Flaming Fist HQ any time when Angelo have taken over and attack him there and get 10000 extra XP. He will still be in the last battle though.

    You can sneak past Mulahey easily.

    The roads are strewn with the blood of the unsuspecting NPC's in some of your campaigns. I thought I was bad. I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board and devise new and exciting strategies for killing NPC's. Usually I ended their lives myself, whenever there were any disputes. Korgan I left alone though, I know my limitations. I'm a pretty tough bard, but not that tough. What's funny you ask? How ridiculously enjoyable it is in this game to have a well-timed death. It's one of its simple pleasures. I think I'll play again.

    You dont even have to *sneak* by Mulahey.
    Just walk in right, he´s standing to far down in the cave to see you until you walk alittle bit down.

    Ok, I guess I'm wrong. Dammit! :D ;)

    But Velve, you should write something about your killings in the CS, calling it "The rituals" or something :D

    I love letting Edwin dual Dynaher when I return from saving her...who'm ever wins stays in my party. As for other NPC's, I usually leave them alone, except for Monteron who'm I let fight an ogre or two or three untill Xar tells me he never loved him ;)

    [​IMG] I've just got that accident that always happens to Khalid. He accidently falls on a make shift altar to Shar as Vicky's worshipping and she accidently brings the sacrificial knife down into his chest. Several times through shock.
    We helped Jaheira through her loss by pointing out he was an annoying whining idiot who was so scared of things how the hell could he be a fighter?

    Other 'accidents' usually involve accidental miscasts of fireball and other assorted spells on various characters. Xzar trying to pet the wolves in the area you find him thinking they're 'cute doggies'. Branwen chasing basilisks while 'confused' in the Rock Garden area and getting stared down was fun too. Oh, and this was an accident;
    Shar-Teel getting gibbed by my character when she wanted a duel :D . I only hit her once!
