This quest is very buggy - do you have a savegame you can reload?
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.

Holly,

Calm down, this has happened to me.

First of all, your only solution within the rules is to either ditch the quest for the rest of the game or reload from a save game file BEFORE you entered the building.

The problem is that the quest is buggy and I haven't found out where all the problems are.

If you do try again from an earlier save game file, here is what you should do (it worked for me): ***SPOILERS BELOW****

1. Just before you enter the building, be sure to 'buff' your party. You will not get another chance. It is *essential* that you haste your party.

2. When you enter the building *immediately* pause (before the paladin on duty can address you) and position your party to move in such a way to completely BLOCK that staircase. *unpause* The paladin will talk to you before you get a chance to move, but in between cut scenes your party will automatically move into a blocking position. If you *FAIL* to do this, then the assassins will appear before you can position your party, and then you are in big trouble.

3. When the assassins appear, you must keep your party by the stairs (use summons to take care of the ones in the room proper) and kill ANY assassins that reach the stairs. You MUST keep *all* those assassins downstairs at *all* costs. If any make it upstairs, your quest has failed...even if you kill all the assassins.

4. Finally, you will know you suceeded when (very shortly...a few seconds) after the last assassin goes down, Tyrannia will say that she sees her uncle. You will then get a chance to talk to her uncle. IMPORTANT: Be sure it is her *real* uncle. Use your detect evil. If he is evil, kill him. The order will thank you.

I hope this helps.
