My time thru the game, of course, I had to reload because of this encounter. I then had Jaheira (or maybe it was Imoen or Dynahier, I forget which) talk to Ms. Blue. The rest of it played out, with her being resurrected or whatever (I don't remember the particulars of the encounter, it's been awhile).
...Anybody remember what happens if you turn her down? | If one of your characters talks to her, she will kiss that character, even if you try to refuse. You should then attack her. When she's sorely wounded, she will beg you to stop and tell you that she is being controlled by an ogre mage. She will raise the character she kissed if you order her to. (Be careful--the raised character will only have 1 hit point.) If you volunteer to help her, she gets excited (she's chaotic and she'd love to watch the fight). Then Mr. Ogre Mage appears and asks why she hasn't killed you, and then he attacks you. (He can cast Invisibility and he uses spells that will make your characters run away to places where they might be attacked by sirines or bands of ogres or wolves. Lots of fun.) If you don't force-attack Ms. Blue Chick, she will leave when you have freed her. (If you want to get the full amount of experience for killing her---5000 big ones--you have to make her turn red first.)
I'm actually in the middle of game right now, and I have to admit that my heart isn't really in it since I know the game so well already. At first, I was just trying to see how fast I could level up some custom characters after discussing the "perfect character" with LordTerror (answer: way too fast--it makes the game less challenging), but I got drawn in by the action and the dialogue. (The in-party NPC dialogue isn't that great, but there are hundreds of NPCs you can talk to, and I really enjoy the atmosphere that was lost in BG2.) It's too bad it's not fresh and surprising anymore--this game is really a lot of fun.

I now remember trying it a couple of times to see if there was a non-perverted way to handle it, so to speak. It really is an unavoidable reload, unless you happen to have someone else doing the talking, or skip the encounter altogether. Lame, but the rest of it is cool. Quote:

How various ingame scripts work, different ingame variables, what happens if-then-else, etc etc... maybe it's the programmer in me, but I find it interesting to hear about the internal goings-on of the BG games. Keep 'em coming! Quote: |

No reloads with tactics without cheese is the spice of life.

| | | @Klorox: Did you use any mods (like maxHP at level up or flawless spell learning) ? |
