    [​IMG] I just bought Neverwinter Nights today and I escaped the Academy by killing some skellies and goblins. Now, I met that Lady and she wanted me to find out some things. I went out to the town and into the store to know that some items are REAL expensive (a robe= 4000 something and I had 147gold). Now to the topic, I don't know where I should go or what I should do. I'm completely
    lost. Please get me on track.

    [​IMG] It's a good idea to get a henchman to complement your character - you can find them in the small fort-like building just out of the palace and a bit to the right IIRC. Then just start going around, talk to people, get some quests, find out what's going on (plague, etc.), kill a lot of monsters, and along the way you'll also get to find the items Aribeth wants.

    And Aribeth mentioned something about a Peninsula District. I went there and I found myself surrounded by enemies. What should I do there?

    Whatever comes natural in CRPGs - kill anything that is hostile and moves. :D

    But seriously, you need to get into the prison. I recommend you get one of the walkthroughs from SP. Here's a quote from one:

    "QUEST: Stop the prison riot:
    There are many ways to do this. First off, talk to the guard once you enter the Peninsula District. He'll tell you to go talk to the militia leader in the Peninsula District. She's in the Southeast part of town. Kill the escaped prisoners along the way. You can also torch the "plague victim pyres" using your torch for 25 XP! Once you get there, the leader says that there is a prisoner that is holding the key to the front door of the prison! Just great, you get to hunt down every lousy prisoner to find out which one has it! Or, simply, you can go in through the Tanglebrook Estate. Lady Tanglebrook's gardener tells you that you can get in via the estate, and that the key is underneath the mat."

    So I should kill every hostile guys and stop the riot?
    Oh, and a certain big door was either talking to me or someone was inside. Does the key unlock that?

    To make things easy try and get (unless ytou already are one) the thief henchman; Tomi Undergallows, you can find him inside the temple before you go outside and he'll tag along for 200 (I think). The good thing about Tomi is he has good ranged attacks and can lock pick pretty much anything you encounter early on in the game, so get yourself and your new found friend down to the peninsula and get to work. As long as you cover what Tal has said, you should have no problem. After this more quests will be revealed for the other sectors in the city...

    I hired some half-orc guy found in a house. His name is Daelan. Is he good or is he a total loser?

    He's great. I had him as my henchman when I played as a mage.

    Argh... My guy keeps getting killed by an enemy in the peninsula. The enemy had a sword and he seemed to be a deadly fighter. He killed just me with a few hits. Anyway, I can't find that key to the prison. I can't even find that Tanglebrook house.

    Are you sure your in the peninsula district? Is your henchman getting a lot of the attacks in? Whats your char and what are his/her stats/equip?


    *possible spoiler*


    Go into peninsula, up the ramp, take a right, then another right, and its right there...right?

    I think he is referring to the gang leader in that part of town.

    He's a meany, but doable.

    My char is a human male chaotic good barbarian. STR:16 DEX:15 CON:14 WIS:10 INT:10 CHA:10. Experience:3000
    HP: 34/34

    Inventory: Long Sword, Chainmail, A dorky golden sort of helmet, healing potions, some keys, stone of recall, brawler's belt, amulet, Tomi's Contract(I dumped Daelan), two spells and a bunch of stuff including useless armor.

    Hmmm... Can't say I went up a ramp to meet that tough guy but he was standing next to a chest.

    (Edit) I found Lady Tanglebrook's corpse lying on a big chess board. I got a sort of Darth Maul double-bladed-lightsaber-like sword lying next to her. Is it good or bad? Anyhow, I can't use it :(

    You have to go into the sewers to get the key to the big door. The key under the mat is to the tanglebrook estate that is a different entrance to the prison. Either way is fine, but you're right, the first time through the gang leaders are mucho overpowered. The double ended sword is wespon style exotic and can't be used by small people like halflings or gnomes. Yes it is strong. You're nearly there by this point too.

    Well, even if you have exotic weapon proficiency, don't use it, as you also need to have the feats that minimise the penalties for dualwielding weapons to use it effectively.

    FINALLY! I went to a dungeon like sewer room, slayed a gang leader, got his key, went inside the prison, went to lower levels, injured some half-orc guy and spared him when he surrendered. I went to the lowest level and killed the Intellect Devourer.
    Man, it was TOUGH! I brought the brain back to Aribeth and she congratulated me and gave me 500 gold(I consider it REAL GOOD because money is a major issue for me). Now, I don't know what to do and where to go. (An SP guide didn't tell me what I'm supposed to do in order)

    There's no particular order you need to follow... just pick a city quarter at a time and handle it.

    [​IMG] I went into a trap-filled house in Black Lake and found a strange urn in a chest complete with a note.......

    Edit: I found the other 3 ingredients for the cure but that #@$%&, Desther took the cure when it was completed!
    I went into the portal, met a mysterious... woman, went into that building of "false Helmites". I keep getting killed by those legless, floating sword wielding freaks! :(

    Try to read all the journals, books, tomes and listen well to the people you encounter, rushing through things is not very good.
    Complete all subquests first, so you have better equipment and higher lever for you character too beat those enemies. I took them down in no-time.

    Or you could try to enter the building through a side door(there are two, I think) instead of that big door in the midle. Also be prepared for a nice fight against Desther and soem ghouls(I think they were ghouls, I could be wrong).

    Anyway I killed Desther's goons and defeated him.
    He surrendered. I'm in Chapter 2 now and I went into a cave in the north and I am just mindlessly slaughtering some goblins and orcs not knowing what to do.
