You can have up to 20 (about 43-45 before the third warning - Vlad) days to spend running around before

Hrothgar will insist on going to Ulcaster. If you refuse then he will leave and you have just ended your run with NEJ. Now since you exited CI and lost Imoen another NPC decision needs to be made who do you take. You definitely need a mage for going to Halruaa and a thief. Definite must is HrothgarC Moon Knight so you need to decide who will make up the rest. Shar-TeelC Firewaker if you brought her out Melora C Swashbuckler will meet real soon Leina C Barb must find Dar C Fighter/Cleric if in your group still Yoshimo C Bounty Hunter if you picked him up as you came out KachikoC Kensai dualed to Mage if you have TS installed or you can add any other of the BGII original NPCs. Aquiring Leina if you want to add her. First off you can not be a thief and get to work for Bohdi. Remember you can do as much of the other quest as you want before, while and after you get Leina but when Hrothgar says it is time you must then go. It doesn=t matter where you are in the realm you will be sent to Ulcaster or just click on it. I have yet to try but I do not think you could get thru Spellhold and the Underdark before you would have to go to Ulcaster thus you would kill the game if your yanked out of those spots and then try and clue yourself back in. Multi class thief and Bodhi will accept you. She will also accept you if you are duel class thief but only if your second class is not thief. Eg. If you choose to duel class say from mage to thief then she will not accept you. However if you duel class say from thief to mage then she will accept you. Got it? So must decide take care on which class you use here. Since you come with a ton of gold (I had around 275,000 in gold) you must choose your answers carefully when talking to Gaelen Bayle or Bohdi so that you do not accept the wrong one or before you want to. So turn down Gaelen. In conversation with Gaelen look for #4 AIt=s too much to ask when I don=t even know who will be getting it@ it will show up. Then you will get the options to sell goods and come back with the money or look for other help. Brus will ask ya where do you want to go, pick to the CC. There a little boy Ikey will speak to you from the upper deck after Brus dumps you off at the CC. So at some point go see Samuel. With all this dough I go get me my magic license and if evil Viconia. Talk to Samuel and inspect Leina=s room. Talk to Samuel again. As usual Valen will find you and give her little talk. This is all triggered because you have way over the amount of 15,000g. Go to the CC click on all the drunks, one will reveal he is Govan. Show him his letter to Leina you found in her room in FF upstairs. Then he'll tell you that he has nothing to do with the disappearance of Leina, and send you to talk to her father - Sir Armageran Vulova.

On leaving the Copper Coronet after speaking to Govan Duvaine, you should immediately be approached by *The hooded man* that will inform you that only through his mistress you will gain entry to the Vulova estate. If you go and try the door at the estate, you will however find it is locked, and you cannot pick lock the door. Now make your choice do you or don=t you want Leina. If so then go talk to Bohdi and follow her requests. Go to the docks. After success Bodhi will offer you a choice of skullduggery or hero. Choose wisely here for where the good fails evil can bring success. Do you need a spoiler? Then it is choose skullduggery. Again watch your choices. Need I say more? Once you enter the estate you will have a long maze with the same tough fighters around every turn and traps galore. Say the right things and have Leina join and pick who you want out of the group. Go see Samuel again and he will say it will take a week or so to straighten the mess out. So don=t expect to see him in FF for a week or more. Now you decide what you want to do until you go to Ulcaster. How to get to Ulcaster either wait till Hrothgar asks you again or when you choose to leave a city area you can select Ulcaster and go there.

Ulcaster then back in time to Halruaa Go northward and you will meet Tilorn. Before hand stash all you armor and weapons. I did mine in a chest in Athalita or you can stash them in the ruins of old Ulcaster. Don=t take what you don=t need. Rings, amulets, staffs and anything specific for a magi is ok. Tilorn strips you of any weapons and armor you kept on or in inventory and it is lost. Also if you drop them on the ground and are standing on them when you are transported to Halruaa it is the same as if they are in inventory and you lose them. I think if you drop the bag of holding on the ground near Tilorn you will still lose some items from the bag. Any weapons or armor you find in Halruaa do not equip in restricted areas. You can carry them around tho. Also magically created weapons are a no-no. Even Ghouls Touch. First task at hand on arrival is to take out the first group of Magi you meet because if anyone escapes they will blow your cover. Try to charm them also hide your thief and have him sneak pass and try to block or kill whoever tries to make a run for it. Traps are good, also animate dead, you also can use invisible and sneak past and go on in. Just a few suggestions.

If you want some extra XP search the area around Hulruaa and you will find snakes and Giant Desert Beetles To kill. You have a time restriction and saying the wrong thing can end your chances for success. Be careful how you talk to people so you don=t blow your cover to early. Don't steal much and don't confront mages. Don't wander in senior staff quarters. Opening some chest will trigger the main quest so don=t steal things yet. The Wizard Guard at the front will talk to you and tell you some rules. Enter by using the exit between the two pillars. Upon entering you will be greeted by Jiri. Go straight ahead and take the tour which Cario De'Vince kindly offers you. In doing so step on each rune of the corresponding schools, make sure they glow, so that all the students rooms are opened or else make a diagram and number the runes as you go so you can open them later or if you messed up and they all didn=t open. After the tour you will probably meet Matej he will give you some information. At night you will not find anyone walking around they are all sleeping so rest also. Things of note about time. After you talk to Kim Sia you have only SIX DAYS left to complete the quest. Try looking for Brial's apartment as late as possible when you are sure that almost all quests are done. The same is about killing Garron. Finding Brial's letter, stealing Kalinor's body, and confronting Garron will equally start the time trigger which is exactly ONE DAY, then you'll be caught and revealed. You can go into several of the buildings to the left and start some quest but the best is to start with the main building and start the RoM Quest. Ring of Might QuestC Start this as soon as possible because it takes three days to complete and while you are waiting for the next day do as many of the magi sub quests as you can. You should be able to get them all done. 1) First you will meet Xan. Have your conversation but continue to the northeast room and touch globe you find in the middle of the room. 2) You will now find yourself in Lavillin =s store/offrice. Choosing the right options you should be given the quest to find out who is thieving his store. 3) Next a portal opens and you go thru into the sewers. 4) Find Bartlemy and he will want you to get his ring. 5) Leaving the sewer will not be easy you must get past three smugglers, Umber Hulk, a Mage and if they show up some shadow fiends you should use magical weapons here and any other

weapons you are able to acquire. But make sure you remove them before you go up the stairs. 6) When you come up you are in the senior mage quarters just go on out quickly this time and back to Lavallin. Follow the options to seek the ring. Have your thief go unlock Lavillin =s desk and take the items and read. 7) Back to the sewers. If you didn=t get the shadow fiends last time you should this time and they are nasty they also split into 2 smaller ones when you kill the large one. So always equip your weapons after you enter into the sewers on the stairs. 8) Visit Bartlemy the big lair. Show him the note from Delrysia. 9) Go find Delrysia in the sewers. Northwest corner. 10) If you want the ring just be nice. 11) Confront Bartlemy for the potion. I choose #4 or you can kill him ( You can agree to proceed with his quest, visit Delrisia and/or Lavallin again for some additional information and/or XP, and only then come back to Bartlemy and finally oppose him - Vlad). 12) So back to Delrysia, I give her the potion for the ring. She refuses to help restore the ring. !3) Back Lavillin=s store. I don=t feel guilty keeping the ring and finishing it or don=t go back to his store. So if you never talk to him how can you feel guilty. 14) I never get any thing free from Lavilin but he does have some good items so I go and never say a word about the ring. 15) Don=t know what all the odd items are for yet. 16) In Bartty=s book was the name ALhillias@ I think I will find this person. 17) Talk to the 4 magi to the northwest of center by the student quarters. 18) Persuade Lhillias to help you and she says come back in one day. Now while I wait I do some other sub quest for XP. 19) Meet Lhillias and you will find she could not complete it so she tells you to seek out 3 other people if you wan it done. Do I need to tell you where to locate them? There easy to find just talk to people and wait a day for each to finish their task. 20) Now you have the ring of might. Sub quests 1) Theodoran=s Invoker testC You have a bunch of spiders to exterminate with Invoker spells once you eliminate them all use the exit. 2) Malvolio=s Transmuter testC With alteration spells you must open a chest and deal with a Sand Golem. 3) Mordecai=s Conjuration testC With conjuration spells you will need to silence Ghiala and sumans an element. 4) Xan=s Enchantment testC You are to charm Sharia and then use a scroll he gives you to cast 4 spells on 4 enemy. 5) Vashon=s Illusionist testC To find him you must use the globe in the area you found Xan. You will find him in the galary. He wants you to use Mislead in order to get an item out of a chest with out being detected. How do you leave the galary? Examine the green picture in the north area. 2 and 2 then examine again.

6) Phineas= Abjuration testC First protect yourself (I used Globe of Invulnerability). Second part break his shield down, pierce magic is scroll to use... if you speak to him after casting the spell he says you have failed, however it seems that casting magic missile at him immediately after piercing his spell protections get you to pass the test others I tried did not. The game is looking for proof his spell protections are down. Don=t forget to get the ROM before you start this. 7) Ezikiel=s Necromancer testC Do last. He is upstairs in the Seniors Quarters northwest corner or the fourth room around to the left. Remember you will not find him at night here just during the day. Also go buy the items you want now before everyone turns hostile. With the start of this you will be starting the end of your time and the main quest at the same time. Going back to the sewers again you will be greeted by a pack of 8 Shadow Fiends again so get ready before hand. They may not greet you from the front but from behind so be careful. Also there may come some Mutated Gibberlings. How to get body and get out. You first must defeat the undead do not touch the tombs until you do so. Remember I said traps!!! Then unlock and untrap the tombs but do not loot them. After that then hide your thief and loot tombs. thief must stay hiden while looting tombs or it does not work. I have done it with only hide in the shadows but can try improved invisiblity. Basicly loot the center tomb for the body and take it to Ezekiel. If you can get items out of the other ones you have a bonus. If you fail you are locked in the room with no way out and a Lich comes after you. Time to reload After you take body to Ezekiel, if you are asked about it, deny you know anything. Main Quest Go first to building where you took the fulfilled Mislead test. First room on the left unlock the chest and take note and key. Read note. Go to main building then off to the left are a group of students one should come over and talk to you and tell you where Brial=s room is. Now enter Brial=s room in Senior Quarters it is next to Ezekiel=s or the 5th one around. and read the letter there. If done in the wrong order you will not find Garron immediately Find Garron when you confront him you really have no time left so be ready to make your final moves. So postpone as long as possible. Drops Fire Tooth +3 So down to the sewers you go. Northwest corner and you will meet Briel, Sebastian, and Vrielle. They drop some excellent items Robe of Veccna, Robe of Good Archmagi, Dagger of Venom, Sebastian=s Dagger Ok the leveller is not here so it must be some where else in the sewers. Go south to block passage and it will ask you for the answer to the logic problem. Spolier: #6 As you exit the sewers Ray Von greets you and then he summons 3 more magi. Easiest way out if you still have an Invisibility 10' spell. Cast it and just walk out unnoticed.

Unless you want to fight your way out. When you are out you have to defeat the Wizard Guard who cast a variety of protection spellsC Protection from Magical Weapons, Normal Missiles, Globe of Invulnerability, Time Stop, Stun, Silence. Once done leave by the gate under his body. After the dialogue go retrieve your items you left. Other Items scattered about the academy. The summoned guards usually have a Staff Mace and adventurer robes. Boomerang Dagger +2 Tome of Leadership and Influence Ring of Protection +1 Necklace of Missiles Book of Infinite Spells Ring of Wizardry Various spell scrolls Now sit back and wait for Part 3 when it comes out. Notes (by Vlad): 1. Second meeting with Caius and watching a scene between RayVon and his assistant that takes place in the Gallery, will equally set the same timer, so leave Vashon=s Quest for the last Vlad. 2. Taffic is in Trademeet, so you may wish to start his quest while being in Athkatla - Vlad 3. Shar-Teel=s quest (AAngelo=s Legacy@) is now in development, and will be available soon. It will be connected to Lord Jieradan=s quest.
