I'm pretty sure you have to do it all over again, that's a common problem(it happened to me too) the harpers can't really come to underdark and when you emerge they strike at the first opportunity, i got over it by strictly forbidding Jaheira to tell anything about me, and it worked, you won't believe how relieved i was, that my first run through(over a year ago) wasn't screwed. That worked for me, but i am afraid that the elves in that camp bear grudge for disturbing their peace longer than they live :(

I just hope you have a save just before the incident with the harpers...

This problem is probably caused by you hurting one of the elves in some way. Maybe an area spell during the fight with the harpers? You'll have to reload, I guess.

Not necessarily - IIRC, this was a big problem before ToB came out. I don't know if the SoA official patch fixes this.

@mallagant - You can try this: When the Harpers show up, move your entire party so that Elhan and the war elves are completely out of your line-of-sight. Battle them as normal, but watch the area effect spells. Hopefully this will prevent the war elves from going hostile.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

the area effect doesn't matter they(elves) attack when you attack (maybe in the code?)

I had the exact same problem the first time I went through, and I did the exact samething as you. I had to restart, as I had no prior save. Fortunatly for you, you won't have to (I hope). :)

Go to Baldurdash and get the patch there. This won't magically fix you games, you must load a previous save. Better then completely restarting. :)

And yes, if anything is hostile towards you in the camp, the elves are scripted to attack you (even if you help them kill drow :rolleyes: ).
If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.

Regarding those harpers

I just had the same problem and yes my solution was to get as far away from Elhan as I could. I killed Reviane but the rest of the harpers stayed near Elhans camp. So when I went back Ihad my main character go invisible and run up to Elhan, it worked cause I got to suldannessalar, however I haven't tried going back and killing the whole bunch yet.

Whew I hate wordy messages.
