In the Five flagons dowstairs theatre I've just given the jewel to Raelis Shai, Haer'Dalis et al and the portal has been opened. After killing various creatures, last in the series being a Shadow Fiend, all of a sudden the acting troup has red circles and I have to defend myself. Reading various walkthroughs I expected to see the troup hijacked and have to follow them into the portal...

I've reloaded several times and each time the troup turns "enemy" after my team kills the shadow fiend. I can handle them without any problem but I can find no way to get to the astral prison (the gem is available on the floor but I can see no way to use it..)

Apart from CLUA consoling into the Astral prison I can't see a way forward with the quest..... Comments? ideas?

First thought is that you've used an item/weapon or spell that has an area effect, but I doubt you would have been doing that consciously. Do any of your party have weapons that can have an area effect, Arrows of Detonation or Harbinger for example?

Have you tried using Ctr+Y to kill the Shadow Fiend? If you do that whilst ensuring that none of your party are doing anything and they turn hostile then you have a real bug problem. Even using the CLUA console to get into the Planar Prison won't advance the quest, although at least then you should be able to get the items, then CLUA out again.

That's odd - only area spells will make friends turn to enemies - be careful when using them. The battle can be chaotic at times - so don't accidentally slice someone by accident - that will turn them against you as well.

I can't think of another reason for why they would turn red. The battles with the monsters that come through is not to difficult and as such melee battle works just fine.

Some helpful pointers from all of you - much appreciated.

I'm still a bit stumped because I'm currently forcing ALL of my party to use blade weapons so the area of effect problem dosn't seem to be the isource.

After 4 tries, once the shadow fiend goes down, ALL the theatre troup become enemies, and all the log shows is :

"Shadow fiend Death - the party has gained XXX points
Minsc attacks YYY" WHAT?

What I can't figure out is if the Minsc attack happens AFTER them becoming enemies of BEFORE. I'll immobilise him at the other end of the theatre and use only the other 5 party members next time and see what happens ....

Wait for the next thrilling instalment !

Well .......

I placed Minsc and my mages well away from the portal and told them to stay put.

My 3 remaining characters took out the arrivals with blade weapons, so no area of effect possibilities.

When the Shadow fiend went down, the bounty hunter arrived and everything seems to be OK.

This must be just one of those things that we're not meant to understand ....

AH so it all worked out. That's great. Have fun in the prison
