    Below is a spoiler for Chapter 5. Now, I know alot of people don't want to find out what happens ahead, but I won't include anything about the actual plot, so reading this may well be worth not ruining your game like mine was.

    ** SPOILER **

    In Chapter 5, I got into the Drow city, and was mulling around, checking it out. I found a guy who sold different monsters, for varying amounts of gold. I decided "What the hell?" and bought myself a Troll for 750gp. He followed me around like a good henchman, until the point where I had to leave the city in order to do a quest. As you may or may not know, summoned/charmed help won't follow you through areas where you get that message "You must gather your party before venturing forth".

    Once outside the city, I blew off the fact that I no longer had the Troll, and went on with the quest. After completing it, however, and returning to the Drow city, I saw my Troll waiting there... but he had gone hostile. "Oh well", I though, as I prepared to slay him, only to realize (to my horror) that he had made the entire Drow city hostile against me as well!!!

    So basically, my game is stopped. The only save game I have is many hours back, as my intermediary saves are too late to keep the troll from being hostile. I will probably press on, but I wanted to let every one of you know about this so you don't have the same frustration as I.

    Doesn't the game autosave when you go to a new area? Or did you go to another area after that and overwrite it?

    The game would have auto saved the moment he went back into the row city!
