Getting the Bard's Stronghold (spoiler)

[MacHurto]

Is it normal that without being a bard, you can obtain the Theatre?
My character is a dual Kensai/Mage (a fantastic idea I saw here, thanks folks ;-) and when the bounty hunters came through the portal to take Raelis, I told them just for fun (I'll not lose these speedy boots, come on) to "get away, I don't care". Raelis told me that I was a traitor and they left closing the portal. Just after, the innkeeper came and asked for them. I told him that I had the deed for the theatre (??) and he gave it to me!!!!
I reloaded to take the boots but when you cross the portal you lose the theatre.

Just in case someone is interested

Besides, Is a bard really useful on a BG party?

[Rattman]

if you ask me bards are pants because they are like a pants fighter mage that can pickpocket and play songs

and i think your bard stronghold was a bug

i do have to say that i don't use bards much but they may have there place somewhare

[Astafas]

Yes, Bards are very useful. However, opions seem to differ - see our latest discussion here .

[Bruce Lee]

I second Astafas. Bards are great and frankly if you have ToB it is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of fact. The evidence being enhanced bard song.

@ MacHurto; I've never heard of this before, how strange.

Bards are like any other character class in that they have there own strengths and weaknesses, but if played well they can be very powerful.

@ Rattman; 'pants' as an adjective is sooooo early 90s.

My PC is just plain thief, and I'm now a theater manager also.I had Haer'Dalis in my party before Planar Prison quest, I did the quest, took Haer'Dalis with me, and then I got the theater.My game has only "ease of use" mod, so this is weird, but fun.

EoU has a multi-stronghold componant, so there's nothing unusual about that...

BTW, what a bump!
