In the central district in Baldurs Gate Lothander approaches you and claims he has poisoned you-I killed him-Im thinking that is a mistake now. It says that im feeling ill and Lothander was telling the truth. Is my group in a lot of trouble or is does this not amount to anything?

ok - you may well have missed out on the geas plot, but find Lothanders accomplice, Marek who is in the Blushing Mermaid lvl 2, IIRC. He will turn hostile but is good for an antidite and 10,000 exp.

I would suggest a reload though if you can. With the plot you can get a tome of understanding from the Temple of Tymora, though I have heard it is possible to pick pocket this tome. I have also heard from one that the poison does not actually kill you - but I didn't take the chance

Yup, you are kindof dead
I met him last time I played, that is a couple of months ago, and now I can not remember who he is, and there is nothing in the journal about him, so I went to Candlekeep, where I can not get in (wich book do they want, I have unloaded about a ton of books in front of the gate, and my only answer is still that I have no books ?) and now I am exploring the Fire Wine bridge, but everytime day breaks, my party just dies, wham, nothing I can do :speech:

You can use the cheatconsole or an editor or have to reload a previously saved game, prefereably before meeting them in the NE part of Baldur's Gate.
If you have a save game with enough time left to return to Baldur's Gate alive you should find Lothander at the marketplace where he tells you what you have to do, if you've done this already and don't remember what he said you can ask again or use the walkthrough.
You cannot enter Candlekeep before you are sent there from Baldur's Gate.

You'll die 10 days after you get poisoned. That should be enough to finish the game.

By sent there what do you mean, I have found the scroll that tells about the meeting in Candlekeep is that it ?
I am afraid I have killed both Lothander and Marek, because I can not find any of them
I saved the game about 10 seconds before they died, wich gives me time to do absolutely nothing, I did not know they would die
I always save when I have won a fight, or when I arrive at a new map, wich is what happened, so returning to the last save just gives me 10 seconds to do something in..............

I think that you already know what I am about to say, and that is keep a few saved games, perhaps every ten days or so in order that you don't have to repeat the entire game if you mess up. Believe me, if you are new to the game, you will.

SPOILER AHEAD, HIGHLIGHT TO READ!




I am surprised that you weren't told to go to Candlekeep. Perhaps you didn't return to Duke Eltan after finding the required information.

I encountered Marek and Lothander and chose first dialogue option which goes like :"Make all threats you want..." and the second is "Thanks for the warning."So I chose first one and then Marek doesn't reply and both of them leave the area.

Am I still poisoned?

I saved game before talking to them but every time I initiate a dialogue and choose this option, they leave, only if I choose second option, Lothander initiates a quest.

You are poisoned and have to do the quest.

Yes, I just wanted to edit my message, Lothander contacted me while in central Baldurs Gate, so quest is initiated.

Thanks anyway.
