I agree with Nippy and Mr Sleep

Saemon is a top character in the saga. And y'know he isn’t that bad really, just some bloke trying to make his way in life and earn a respectable dishonest crust.

And he does show a smattering of conscience a couple of times during the game when he helps you out or warns you about things - admittedly he's usually got you into trouble in the first place.

(Must admit I have tried to kill him a couple of times though, but he got away, the lying, conniving, miserable coward of a pirate that he is )

His way of saying wow

It's his alignment he is keeping the balance, he is killing of the bigger fish, if he thought you were weak he would help you, he taking your weight of the balanced scales(It's a metaphore)

...I guess you like him then. Me too. I killed him by accident, when you have to fetch the pirate horn to escape Brynlaw. A stray lightning bolt hit him causing him to turn hostile. I knew I was going to reload, so I carried on the fight with him just to see the outcome. He died quite fast (he was carrying no weapons) giving me 18000xp and no loot. I felt really bad.

BTW I was looking at his stats in creature browser and one of versions of him has Imoen's belt. Obviously not the version you meet just before leaving Brynlaw

noober can be killed anytime anywhere, you lose no rep for polymorphing him into squirrel form...hee hee!!!

saemon must die, he is quite funny and you would miss him, but he double crossed the spawn of bhaal, and my inflexible code demand his blood...look what I did to odren or the rebel prince, they stood between me and stuff I wanted so they died with holy avenger ripping out their guts...

too bad you cant curse in this game, that so bites!!!

give saemon an extra set of buttocks, between his shoulder blades!!!

If your character is a Paladin, that isn't exactly the right way to behave. Between you and stuff you wanted? Honourable pursuits indeed...

Ahhhm, I don't have the feeling UU was actually referring to a paladin PC just because he uses the holy avenger to initiate bloodshed. This reminds me of my old halforc C/T who also ...

sorry nippy, I consider holy avenger just too good a sword-magic staff weapon for goody goody paladins, so my kensai sorc has that , I have used it with poison ability to take down the silver dragon...

boy, holy avenger is really good for a good blood lust massacre...it leaves limbs everywhere!!!
boy, was keldorn pissed whne I dropped by the order to show him my new letter opener!!kept muttering about desecration, got annoying so I chopped him up...

get holy avenger, with fighter mage or kensai sorc , have them equip it, then unequipp ring of gax, robe of vecna and amulet of power and reequipp. 75% magic resist!!! even higher after lums machine and hell...

Crush and destroy him utterly I say.....

A big THUMBS DOWN for the crook "Saemon" .

Change him into a squirrel , transform into a troll and STEP on him 'til he looks like an opossum after being run over by a M-60 tank....

Still - NO worries !
I'll get him again and again and again....

Beldin, the Hunchback.

now dont get me started, as founding member of the aerie fan club, I might have to cast the dreaded noober curse on you....you must take noober with you using cntrl q to make him join your party.

search on my very long and quite heated discussions about aerie as a power gaming char. I think I won many of them, but essentially as one of the major "me sorc, always" on the board, I specialize in magical solutions and aerie is the best mage around.

I evne like her whining...

I'm not sure if a certain person in red robes shares that point of view.

On the other hand, I'm a card carrying member of the "who needs a mage anyway if you have two fighters and a cleric to bring 'em back sometimes" faction.

Agreed, cleric/mages are very powerful and great fun to play with all those fantastic spell combinations...

... but it is a lovely image: Aerie, wings restored somehow, soaring through and above the clouds, her long flaxen hair shimmering in the sunlight as she feels for perhaps the first time in her life truly happy when suddenly....

**THWUP**

...she goes straight into the intake of engine 3 of BA flight 104 to NewYork. Feathers and flaxen hair scattered to the four winds.

(PS; Would she even have feathers? Maybe she'd have fleshy bat wings...ew!)
