Mae-var's quest

Zaha · Post by **Zaha** » Thu Apr 05, 2001 10:38 am

I work for Renal Bloodscalp to reveal Mae-var's treachery. Mae-var told me to get a golden statuette from the temple of Lathander. I was supposed to do it quietly, but every time I open the safe the statuette is in an alarm sounds and everyone starts attacking me. Is it possible to get the statuette without a fight, or will I have to kill all the guards?

i always kill them, its the right path if you are evil.

Yes, that might be the right path, but as I was told to to it quietly, I wondered if it's possible.

Only thing i can think of is using priest spell find traps or have a huge find traps.

But to kill them all works fine too, i have tried

Yeah I had huge problems with that too. Cast sanctuary. Get a thief to pick the lock and get the priest to open the safe and take the statue. Try to do this when no one is watching.

If you go to the temple at night, there are less people around.
You can open the safe and leave unnoticed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you suppose to get a neckless from the temple of (I don't remember)
I have just revealed Mae-var's treachery and I was never asked to get any golden statuette.
Is hte quesst different if you're evil maybe ?
Cause I just had to steal a neckless from a sleeping woman

Possibly you are good or neutral aligned - In this quest you have to steal the necklace from the Temple of Talos.

It is alignment-based, I think. My neutral/evil party also got the Talos necklace challenge. Simple to do: just go in there after dark with Jan, and pick the lock.

Yes, it's definitely alignment-based. If your protaganist is evil, he/she gets to steal the statuette from the Temple of Lathander. Otherwise, he/she gets to steal the Talos necklace. Also, you can disarm the traps and pick the locks on the containers in the Lathander temple anytime, you just can't open them when someone's around.

**This is wrong, see my post below.

Hmm in my current game Chaotic evil has to get the necklace too. Maybe next game be Lawful evil or somethin...Only wanted to be evil for the Human flesh +5 anyway.

Is it not reputation-based?

OK, I've checked again, and it is reputation-based (so disregard my previous post). If your reputation < 10, then you get the "steal the statue from Lathander temple" quest. Otherwise, you get the "steal the Talos necklace" quest.
