Vampire Sola kills Drizzt. What happens to his loot? BUG!

Remove all ads!

Well, I got the help of Drizzt against Improved Bodhi. When I went to graveyard to confront her, she stole Solafuein, and Viccy both, leaving me quite vulnerable. After killing HORDES of standart vampires, I found Drizzt and his co, and went to confront Bodhi once and for all!

Nearly all of my party was immune to negative energy thanks to mod items.

She had converted Sola and Viccy, and had many many followers. Here is how the battle went:

I opened the door, chit-chatted a little, and the battle started. There were some vampirez, Arkanis Garth, Sola, Viccy, Bodhi and two mage vampires. WTF, Sola buffed like crazy, he had so many protection spells he looked like unbeatable! My DS shapechanged into a Red Dragon (DS spiffy HLA spell) and breathed in to the narrow room, doing 100+ damage to all, killing vampires, (not the mage ones though)and Viccy in progress. Arkanis Garth was 'Near Death' and Bodhi was injured. He then shape-changed back to half-elf, but then Bodhi's bat-swarm attack hit him! Argh! They ate through my stoneskins and started to do devastating damage! It also prevented me from casting! I closed the door to run!

No way! SOla and Bodhi just dimension doored. GASP! Immy had summoned a Planetar whilst Jaheira, my buffed up F/M/T, and DRIZZT went to the front line, while my poor DS retreated to the end of the corridor, gulping potions as bats scratched all of his body (they do massive damage on insane!) Immy and F/M/T lowered Bodhi's MR, Bodhi was tackling with Jaheira and Drizzt while Planetar was trying to attack Sola to no effect. Immy released a Sequencer with three flame arrows on Bodhi, whilst F/M/T read a protection from cold scroll on Jaheira, Jaheira was hitting Bodhi hard with all her GWW attacks, but was taking massive cold damage in re-turn. Drizzt was slashing happily at Bodhi but he was taking cold damage from her Chilling Aura as well.

Bodhi then used another special ability, which is equevelant to a Horrid Wilting, which killed my F/M/T. It did massive damage on insane. Jaheira was hurt as she had the Belt of Innertial barrier which gave %50 MDR. Immy continued to flame arrow and attack with Melf's MMs, she was doing good damage to Bodhi, along with Jaheira wielding Water's Talon+3 in a GWW fury. Jaheira had to gulp a few potions though, when Bodhi wailed:

'NO, this life is mine!' And she was fully-healed. Nice. Very nice. Then auto-pause occured: Planatar was badly wounded. And my DS was still gulping healing potions thanks to those damnable bats!

Immy casted another Sequencer and put 3 flamearrows again, then lowered Bodhi's MR. Just then my DS was rid of bats and he casted a TS, then Improved Alacrity, THEN lowered Bodhi's MR, then this is the best part, casted 12 flame arrows on Bodhi in the blink of an eye! 12x20d6 damage! When the TS ended, Bodhi was killed...instantly! And she gave 90K XP! Yay!

Jaheira summoned an Elemental Prince, just in time when Planetar was killed by SOla! Immy tried casting on SOla, but he was invisible, with SIivination and Abjuration on. She was helpless. Jaheira stepped back, afraid of Sola, while foolishly brave and heroic Drizzt marched forward on Sola, who had just slaughtered a Planetar without a sweat. Elemental Prince and Drizzzt kept Sola occupied while my DS approached, casted a Chain Contingency with 3 Ruby Ray of Reversals, while Jaheira was drinking a healing potion and Immy was busy casting a True Sight. It worked! His spell protections were dispelled, and Imm'ys timely True Sight made him visible, just then I casted a Breach on Sola! He was totally dispelled this time as Elemental Prince and Drizzt started damaging him finally! Then...Drizzt died. I don't know why, maybe Sola hit him, or combined 'chilling aura' of the both matriarchs were too much for himç He died, I didn't bother, Jaheira was pounding him hard with SLing of Seeking and +4 bullets, Immy was lovering his MR, my DS had to cast another Breach as he put on new stoneskins, but eventually Jaheira made the final strike, killing SOla! Yay!

Drizzt was dead though. Oh my poor F/M/T was too. No problem, I immediately ressurected him via level 9 DS spell Raise Dead and sticked a 'Heal' to make him just like new. But there was nothing I could do for poor Drizzt, except from looting his sorry corpse. I oculdn't resist it, and took his scimitars.

I know that Marcholl Harpell (or was it his name?) SHOULD come, and he came too. Came when I was in Bridge District, and without a word attacked the party (he dimension doored already hostile) he also had an Earth Elemental friend. He even casted IMPRISONMENT on my DS, who, luckily, was able to put SI:Abjuration just in time! Well we killed him and I thought this was it Yay! I was going to keep Drizzt loot!

No.

When I was trying to reach the Elven Forest via world-map, I was ambushed by a horde of orc-shamans and poor creatures. A quick Wail of the Banshee made short work of most of them. Then that Harpell man came again! AGAIN! With dimension door, hostile again, and with Skeleton Warrior friend. Ok, I will kill you again, I grinned. Then another Harpell dimensioned door. I was saying WTF? When another Harpell dimension doored, then another, then another! The place was constantly giving birth to Harpells and a random summon with him! What was it? I turned my entire party invisible. They kept spawning. I counted 13 Harpells. Then more came! I started CTRL+Y ying them but they just kept coming.

I looted a ring of protection+5 from one of their bodies, they al had very random drops.

They kept spawning, everywhere was full with Harpells! I yielded and yelled:

'Take your damned things, just leave us be!', dropped Drizzt's loot to the ground and escaped the map.

Luckily, this stopped the bug and Harpell did never came. I sold that ring of protection +5 BTW, it was like a joke.

Now, what was the cause of this? Some mod I have? I have many mods but this bug was just kinda weird. What do you think? I am sure this should not happen, but still it happened to me. Ahh.. Can't I EVER have Drizzt's loot? And I didn't even kill him, mind you!

Weird. Isn't it?

 

Whoa Silver, you parttake in the most insane battles, still it's funny to read

 

Yes. I cannot stand sport relations, but Silver's stories always keep me fascinated .

Mods have common habit to make some strange bugs. for example, my BP replaces spells, creatures and items' names with some part of dialogues. That's a funny bug.

Anyway, WTF is Drizzt's loot?

 

Yay, it was fun! Though I really should have casted a Spell Immunity:Conjuration before hand, I THINK it could make my DS immune to bats (it is same as Crreping Doom, only in black-colored graphics eh?) which would make the battle all the easier.

Still, what do you think about the Harpell bug?

EDITrizt items are cool scimitars which give good resistances and his spiffy elven armor. Nice enough to keep I guess.

 

I don't understand the bug but the "disable Melchor Harpell" component of the Ease of Use mod, installed on top of everything else, should take care of it. Unfortunately, you'd have to return to a time in which you could kill Drizzt, I think. If you don't have a previous save, I'd say you're out of luck for this game. Unless you just want to disable him and then CLUA the items in (though I'm not sure the EoU component works retroactively). Either way, worth a shot.

 

I have EoU but didn'T install Disable 'Melchor Harpell' component.

But, shouldn't he talk? WHy does he always come hostile? And just how many Melchor Harpells are there in Fearun? What is the cause of this bug? Can't I do anything to fix it? I don'T want Drizzt loots anyway! And I never killed him. Sola is to blame! I guess he must be feeling very guilty right now, having killed another 'Good' drow. I hope he won't expect my PC to comfort him. (my DS is having an innocent romance with him right now, along a not-so innocent romance with both Viccy and Jaheira! )

 

Maybe your game is just slowly becoming unstable from all of your mods silverstar. That would be my guess.

 

Yes, he should talk, but sometimes he's just a jerk like that. Whether he talks or not, the EoU component should remove him.

 

@Starwalker

NOO don't say this! Don't!

To the hades with Melchor and Drizzt's equipment then! I no want any bugs in my beautiful, really unique, extremely difficult, and totally self customised BG2! :sniff:

Is this true? What say those people who know lots about mods?

@Aahz

So he can attack without talking in unmodded game too? Is this considered normal? What about his spawning infinitely? Is my game doomed?

 

I think you'll have to get someone in here who kills Drizzt. I've only ever killed Drizzt with a disabled Melchor.

Though I do use a bunch of mods (my list is quite similar to yours) and my games only rarely start ruining themselves and corrupting all over the place. If you're careful in your install order and checking compatibility, you should be fine.

 

Oh no. He won't attack you at all in the unmodded game. He's damn near a demi-god, because there's no way to avoid him, and no way to prevent him from taking the items back and disappearing. I killed Drizzt once with my RPing solo F/M/T, and even after refusing to give the stuff back, Melchor still took it an DDed out. I reloaded several times to try to kill him, but it didn't work. Whatever you're experiencing (heck, the fact that you can fight him at all) is most definitely part of a mod.

 

PART of a mod? I can'T recall I installed anything like that, but I don'T think any sane mod designer would create a mod which spawns endless Harpells. It makes little difference, I still had to lose Drizzt loot, but this time I dropped them willingly or the whole Fearun would be filled with ever-spawning Harpells! It is obvious, then, a BUG? Maybe the game mixed his CRE file with another, hostile caster?

 

Well, likely the mod wasn't supposed to spawn infinite Harpells, but it has to be a mod if you're getting the chance to fight him. It's probably just a bug that they keep spawning; I know if I were making something like that, he'd attack you once and then stay dead.

 

I've been killing Drizzt as far as I know (I'm a freak }:]) and there is no mod needed.

 

@Warmonger:
No, I meant the chance to fight Melchor Harpell. I've killed Drizzt myself, as I related in the -filled post.

 

Silverstar didn't you have to remove a couple mods recently for their problems or their shere overpoweredness? that could be part of your source of the problem. some little insignificant change they made.
