I want Branwen back, but I think I drowned her! (spoilerish)

Hi all

I'm thorougly enjoying BGEE on my mac these days, running a neutral good elf archer through the game for the first time. I've played through BG2 a number of times, but BGEE gave me the first opportunity to play the original.

Since this is my first run, I've tried out a few of the characters, I quickly settled for Neera, Imoen and Minsc (although I still can't stand Dynaheir) and I grabbed Branwen after dumping Jaheira and Khalid. Now, although Branwen did a decent job, I never really found her to be all that interesting, so when I met Yeslick in the Cloakwood mines, I picked him up and dumped Branwen without really a second thought.

Now, a few chapters later, I'm starting to feel like a fighter/cleric isn't really the best choice for the role as sole healer in the party. Sure, he stands up fine in a battle, but I've got Minsc as cannon fodder, and I really feel like I should go back and get Branwen again. I assumed she would be at The Friendly Arm Inn, but did not find her there... so then I'm wondering: Did I kill her off for good when I flooded the mines or can I still find her someplace else?

I guess my only other choice would be Viconia, who would surely add some drama to the mix, but would kinda ruin the whole "good-aligned party" thing.

Oh and by the way, most of my chars are lvl 6-7

In the original game, if you dump Branwen, she re-appears as a petrified statue at the fair where you first found her. Just buy another "Stone to Flesh" scroll and use it on her.

Hmm, sounds rather masochistic don't you think?
