Theoretically, it should be possible to get through the Bandit camp without hurting anyone (you can boast to do it) But when you get through to the second area, it would seem that the Bandits are too closely packed in for you to just sneak past them...or is it just that you need your Guile to be really high? (I have a Guile of 3). Does anyone know if sneaking is actually possible, or should I not waste my time?

Also, side question...how to the Ages of.. and Will Masters Potions work? Are the effects permanent (a one time boost) or just temporary?

Please say what quest you're doing, that might help others give you advice.

Will masters elixir extends your mana bar permanent.
Ages potions give you experience, the amount depends on you combat multiplier.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious...I'm doing the Finding the Seeress in Twinblade's camp quest.

One of the Boasts is 'Doing itwithout harming any of the bandits' Just wondering if that's even possible, what with I can't sneak past the second stage of the Bandit camp (where you're supposed to collect bandit clothes)

Yes, thats possible...make sure the bandit guards don't see you in the first part so you can enter the gates without killing them, then run through abandonned road and open the chests without paying attention to the bandits. After that you only need to fight twinblade and you don't need to kill him.
You can keep trying to sneak past the bandits by loading the autosave if they see you...

So: it's definetely possible, the only hard part is sneaking past the first bandits.
By the way.. you could have also been doing the traders rescue mission.

I see, so the suggestion is running past the bandits, as opposed to being good enough to sneak past them. Well, it's worth a shot...and sneaking past the first wave is not hard. I've done it before. :}

i just use force push on 1 of my people in the second area, (it doesnt kill them with a low level force push) so if the boast is2 not KILL do this, if it is do not HURT then use slow time

Why use slow time? I don't see how a few bandits can kill you, and there's no auto retaliate.

Slow time could help, if you're going for the boast where you take no damage...that and Force shield.

For anyone taht's interested, the tactic of running past folks and using Force Shield to protect yourself works...but it's not worth it. If you've taken the boast to kill no bandits, then the only way you can distract folks to get to twinblade is to pay the assassins, which negates any profit you make from the Boast.

Actually, that's a very good point. I've never taken the boast- I prefer to slaughter my way through the quest- but it's perfectly accurate.
