1. Introduction
----------------

Erevain Blacksheaf is an NPC met in the original Icewind Dale as well as the Never Ending Journey Baldur's Gate 2 mod. This thread is to be used as a repository of notes and outlines for expanding the role of Erevain into a joinable NPC companion.

Erevain can be found in the Snowdrift Inn in

----------------
2. Erevain Original Role
----------------

Erevain's original stats can be found here. Erevain is the only elf in Easthaven and he speaks to you as a traveler who is delaying the Elven retreat to explore more of the world.

Erevain's fate is tragic as he went to Dragon's Eye ahead of the party on his own, trying to save a group of captured villagers but died alone in the attempt. He leaves behind a journal revealing that he was Xan's (NPC companion from BG1) cousin.

----------------
3. Erevain Expanded Role - Intro and Early Exit
----------------

Erevain will have an extra dialogue option upon meeting him that will allow you to recruit him into your party. Either he will be joinable immediately or you will need to wait until you have the quest to find the missing caravans before he will become joinable. If you're rude to him, he will not join you.

When Hrothgar tells you to talk to Pomhab to gather supplies, he will tell you that you can talk to Accalia in addition to speaking to Erevain to join the party. If you were rude to Erevain earlier, he'll give you a second chance to be nice to him and will be willing to join your party for Hrothgar's sake.

If for whatever reason CHARNAME does not recruit and keep Erevain long enough, he will meet his original fate: death inside Dragon's Eye. IF CHARNAME kicks out Erevain before visiting the Dragon's Eye, CHARNAME will have an opportunity to bring back Erevain into the party. If CHARNAME does not immediately bring him back into the party, Erevain will dejectedly head out on his own and will not be re-recruitable. However, after traveling to the Dragon's Eye dungeon, you will be able to kick Erevain out and be able to re-recruit him back in Kuldahar. The justification for this is that Erevain will have participated enough to have redeemed himself (saving captured villagers). More on that later.

Upon traveling inside Dragon's Eye dungeon a couple of checks are made. If Erevain is not in your party and was not removed from the party after Death (dead body on ground), then Erevain's corpse will appear in the Dragon's eye Dungeon with his journal noting his attempts to go it alone. Erevain's corpse will contain whatever items he had with him before his "death". I.e. if the party never talked to him, he'll have his original items on his corpse, if the party recruited him and stole all his items, he'll have a naked corpse except for a journal, and if the party gave him extra items before kicking him out again, his corpse will contain the extra items. Around his corpse should be some remains of Bombadier Beetles. He would have gone down fighting and died, presumably from their poison.

4. Erevain Expanded Role - Expansion Contents
----------------

CHARNAME Dialogues - 5 in BG2. 3 in ToB planned.

NPC Banters - Erevain with have at least 2 banters with every NeJ and Bioware NPC. At least 2 crossmod banters if a Xan NPC BG2 mod is installed. More than 2 banters for some NPCs are possible if inspiration comes. Possible crossmod banters with the Longer Road Irenicus NPC. At some point 1 additional banter at ToB is planned.

Event Banters - Erevain will speak up at all the appropriate events other NPCs are expected to (Travel to Kuldahar, Travel to Dragon's Eye, Tree of Life, Post Melissan, etc.)

Interjections - Interjections at various points as inspiration comes. No preplanned number.

Romance - No planned romance. Erevain might potentially have some interjections hinting at jealousy. Update: 7/9/2015 Romance is possible. Focus is on finishing other dialogues first.

Flirts - The other NeJ NPCs do not have flirts so this is not planned. I might consider a simple dialogue to avoid that annoying message "X has nothing to say to you"

Player Initiated Dialogue - Update: 7/9/2015 - This is a highly desirable feature by several players, so this mod should include it. 5 PIDs for BG2 and 3 PIDs for ToB are planned

Encounters - 3 encounters are planned. These are 2 groups of NPCs hunting Erevain for some misdeed in his past that haunts him

Quests - No quests are currently planned. Traveling to Evereska to visit Erevain's homeland could be fun, but would require a lot detailed artwork and area creation.

Kit - Erevain will come with a custom kit not seen in another mod to date

Item Upgrades - Upgrades to Erevain's Sword and Armor will be available via Conlan's Smithy, Cromwell's, or Cespenar. It is intended that components missed in IWD may become available during BG2 and components missed during BG2 may become available during ToB.

5. Original Erevain Points of Inspiration
----------------

Originally Erevain was an explorer who avoided the Elven retreat twenty years ago to explore the world. He estimates that it will take all the elves a few hundred years to retreat to Evermeet. He plans on eventually joining his brethren there. Erevain does not like the cold and misses the weather of Evereska. He worships Corellon, referring to him in his original dialogue and later journal.

He has some regret in not joining Hrothgar's party because he believes they need protection. He thinks trying to reclaim the old elven lands would lead to darkness and war. He fondly recalls his cousin Xan, but does not want to feel that he's becoming like him (dismal and despairing).

He eventually is found dead within the Dragon's Eye Dungeon, most likely during a rescue attempt of the captured villagers: a reluctant and failed tragic hero.

These inspire us to ask a few questions:

1. Was a desire for travel his only reason he avoided the Retreat? 20 years is a long time, even for elves. Is he avoiding something or someone from his past? Has he purposefully traveled to the elfless inhospitable North to get far away from something? (It is a fair distance from Evereska to the Spine of the World).
2. How did he get into Dragon's Eye mostly undetected?
3. How has a single traveler managed to survive for 20 years so well?

----------------
6. Expansion Outline
----------------

Erevain is the tale of a potentially tragic hero of contradictions. He is cowardly, not offering to help sometimes when he know that he should yet brave (some would say foolhardy), risking life and limb for others in danger. He can be hopeless like his cousin Xan, yet also hopeful. He can be polite yet allow some of that Elven arrogance to set in.

Erevain's journey will be one of a person who while having some good qualities, also harbors some bad ones too (cowardice, rudeness, feeling of racial superiority). Throughout dialogues and his journey Erevain will become more homely, more rounded, more pleasant, and more hopeful. Our somewhat reluctant companion will become a full fledged and devoted friend by its end.

Erevain's backstory will be revealed that he belonged to multiple organizations in Evereska. The Swords, the Greycloaks, and the Vale Guardians of Evereska. In each case he had trouble keeping with each one as none of these organizations made a full use of his talents in Erevain's opinion. Eventually, Erevain found himself in a situation where he was required to defend Evereska from invaders (Orcs? Hobgoblins?). Erevain decided to go invisible to restrike again later. Unfortunately Erevain lost his nerve and instead ran away from battle. As a result several other elves were killed that he may have been able to aid. Erevain was heavily chastised by his superiors and rather than face the shame at home, he abandoned the Swords of Evereska and decided to journey far away, eventually arriving in the town of Easthaven after 20 years.

Erevain may give off some hints of regret, but it won't become clear until the later two encounters happen. In the first encounter a group of Hobgoblin, Goblin, Orc, Half-Orc, Ogrillon, Half-Ogre, and/or Bugbear Mercenaries as well as some undead servants. (decide details later) that will intercept the party in an Area location. The group will be led by Guthic of Shargaas, a Half-Orc Cleric/Assassin of the Orc God of darkness, night, stealth, thieves, and the undead. They will recognize Erevain in the party (or will know by the descriptions of his companions that he should be nearby them). The party members will question why Erevain has a bounty placed on him, but Erevain will refuse to let out much information to the consternation of the other party members. Guthic and his crew of assassins will allow CHARNAME to pay Erevain's bounty in gold. If the party does not have sufficient gold, Guthic will allow CHARNAME to pay him in equivalent value of magic items. If the player cannot or refuses to by an equivalent bounty, then combat begins.

In the second encounter, a band of Elven Warriors led by a captain of the Swords of Evereska will intercept the party. Yalatheniel (their leader), will reveal Erevain's abandonment of duties. Erevain will apologize and have the option of trying to reason with Yalatheniel, but Yalatheniel will not let Erevain be captured or held to trial as that would risk him being pardoned: Erevain must pay for the death of his Elven comrades. This is a tactical battle with Yalatheniel and his minions casting multiple area spells to disable and destroy the party. Yalatheniel is intended to be a high level Fighter/Mage/Cleric with Fighter, Mage, and Cleric companions.

After the battle, it will become more clear to Erevain's companions the remorse over his previous actions. Even though by this time Erevain will have helped saved villagers from Dragon's Eye (and helped others potentially), it's not enough for him to feel redeemed in his heart. However, near the climax of BG2 where the elven city of Suldanessellar is being attacked, his spirit truly shines through. Suddenly all of Erevain's good qualities outshine the bad ones and he's able to redeem himself by helping this Elven city from destruction. Afterwards, a Greycloak will be present at Suldanessellar who will confirm Erevain's heroics. CHARNAME will have an option to say goodbye to Erevain to visit his home and never see him again, or he can press for Erevain to stay and aid him through the quests in Throne of Bhaal.

7. Erevain Starting Mechanical Information
----------------

Commentary: Original Erevain was a Fighter with a custom broadsword weapon. We want to keep that, but also make him worthwhile to pick up as an NPC companion. At the point in time where he'll be picked up, the party may lack or partially lack 1 or two things. A Mage if the player character keeps Imoen as a Charming Rogue or a Thief if the player character converts Imoen to a Mage. As such, our recommendation is for Erevain to be a Fighter/Mage/Thief. This will enable him to fulfill both potentially missing party roles (Mage or Thief) while retaining his original class (Fighter). Why not just a Mage/Thief? Imoen is already basically a Mage Thief with the Charming Rogue Kit and the extra Thac0, weapon proficiencies, and Specialization matter in most routine battles. I don't want to cheat in weapon specialization or extra hp. This will make Erevain useful, but he won't be able to dominate every position within the party: His advancement will be slower, but every level he will gain something sigificant (Figher: more Thac0, Mage: More spells, Thief: More points and 1 new special ability) so he won't be a total drag either. Erevain is intended to wear his Elven Plate Mail +2 for life so that he can fight, cast spells, and use thieving skills at any point desired and not feel that his capabilities are being wasted. Some players do not like triple multiclass characters because of the relatively slower progression (total xp is divided amongst all classes by 3). It's also probably more tolerable to have a slower progression PC than an NPC. To counteract this, Erevain starts with a special family amulet that will boost his experience gain, but at a price. Erevain's sword will need to be changed from a broadsword to a longsword in order to take advantage of backstabbing bonuses. Otherwise it requires modding the allowable thief weapons to backstab which is outside of the scope of this mod.

8. Erevain General Notes
----------------

Infiltrator Kit:

Commentary: Infiltrator is inspired by a kit from the Complete Book of Elves designed for Fighter/Mage/Thieves. The original kit involved bonuses to nonweapon proficiencies, extra non-weapon proficiencies and a special ability to appear as different races. A lot of these aren't valid for Infinity Engine Games or would take an enormous amount of work to implement (appearing as other races). As such the mechanics will be different. In order to make the kit and Erevain NPC competitive, the point of balance taken is from the Charming Rogue Kit. The roleplaying inspiration and justification for this kit was the fact that the original Erevain got into Dragon's Eye past the original guards and crossed over mountains alone. Seemingly, he is able to get into places that others would have trouble getting into.

The infiltrator will gain the ability to cast various spells as special abilities. These spells are inspired by what an "Infiltrator" should be able to do. Some of these supplement or effectively replace Thief abilities (ex. Knock, Invisibility) and this is on purpose. The side effect of these abilities will mean that at level up the Infiltrator will only get 15 thieving points per level. The intention is to get a rotation in order to gain one special ability per level and that the special abilities while useful will not completely overshadow a vanilla thief or alternate Thief Kit via lower points per level.

Events:
Erevain will meet Guthic of Shargaas and then Yalatheniel sometime before completing IWD. Sometime in SoA or ToB, Erevain will meet an Undead Guthic who is more powerful and fight him again. We should consider the possibility of fighting a revenant Yalatheniel in ToB.

Blacksheaf Amulet:
If Erevain dies and the party has his amulet, at some point the party should meet Yalatheniel or some other elf who wants to retrieve the amulet back. They may fight the party if they will not willingly give the item back ala Githyanki. The elves will be "Collectors" from the Complete Book of Elves or some better sounding name organization to return stolen elven artifacts.

Xan may alternatively accept to take the amulet at which point the collectors will not bother the party.

Xan:
Xan will not believe that Erevain is actually alive at first. There will be some initial hostility between them.

Perhaps Yalatheniel was corrupt from the start and that Erevain was meant to believe that he disgraced himself when in reality it was his mentor Yalatheniel who was behind his comrade's killings. Erevain was able to hide and haste away to his safety, but was deeply shamed.


Yalatheniel wants to replace Lord Dursair
Yalatheniel hired Guthic of Shargaas

Should Erevain start out with a Cloak and Boots of Elvenkind designed for him? Perhaps reduce thieving skills to 10 per level?

Assassin within Dragon's Eye aiming for Erevain? Perhaps he should have a scroll on him?

Journey back to Evereska should be dealt with in Epilogues. Romances should follow two paths or at least have two outcomes, one with an Elf <CHARNAME> and another with a non-elf <CHARNAME>. Presumably an elf-elf romance will go better since Erevain is cut from traditional elf outlooks. However, will the fact that Bhaal being a human turned god have an effect on the Elven purity of the elf-elf romance?

Mod should eventually be converted to IWD, IWD in BG2, IWDEE, and BG2EE.

If kicked out too early or never taken, Erevain should leave a corpse in Dragon's Eye. The PC should be free to grab the corpse and cast raise dead / resurrection on it and return Erevain from the dead and have the opportunity to have a dialogue option show up at the bottom when visiting a Priest and pay gold to return Erevain from the dead as well.

In BG2, in the Athkatla graveyard, there should be a caravan or an elven mourner who has Erevain Blacksheaf's bones. The bones would be available immediately or they would have to complete a quest or encounter to get it. After doing so, the player could cast ressurection (not raise dead) or have a dialogue option pop up for a priest in order to pay gold to resurrect Erevain.

The dialogue and undead state of Guthic and Yalatheniel will differ depending on whether Erevain was acquired during IWD or BG2 and whether or not they died in the previous battle with CHARNAME and Erevain. Guthic and Yalatheniel should attack the party if they hold Erevain's body. They want it. Their dialogue with the party should be similarly affected.

Erevain's sword should have multiple upgrades. With a Scroll of Improved Haste, the Sword should become +4 and of Speed (+1 APR). Other options could be of Translocation? (cast Dimension door) Phasing? (Etherealness?) Acidic (acid damage?). By ToB Erevain should be able to add 2 upgrades of choice for an Speed Acidic Sword or something. Perhaps this is too complicated, and we insist that it's one or the other and eventually both. First upgrade makes sword = +4. Second upgrade makes sword = +5

Erevain: Imoen, why are you always so cheerful?
Imoen: Well I am most of the time. What's there not to be cheerful about? Birds, music, pages of books that never seem to crease correctly ever again.
Erevain: You warm my heart child. I wish I could remain as spirited as you Imoen.
Imoen: Hey buster, I'm older than you given all of my troubles and torture. What reason do you have to be so cold?
Erevain: I...
Imoen: Yes?
Erevain: ...I cannot answer
Imoen: Sure ya can. Just spit it out already!

Erevain asks Imoen if she ever got to visit beautiful places as a child. Imoen responds that she and CHARNAME never got to leave Candlekeep's walls very much, but that she enjoys the beauty of the forests. Erevain smiles and recalls the beauty of the Evereskan forests of his homeland. How he'd traveled up and down every tree so many times that he memorized the names of every tree. Imoen is astonished to know that every tree has a name. She asks if every rock, every road, and every building also has a name in Evereska. Erevain grows a little more silent and says that "Maybe Later." Imoen interrupts and tries to ask what's the matter, but Erevain puts his hand up and repeats "Later, maybe."
9.120 Content

Erevain: Imoen, did you ever manage to visit beautiful places as a young one? Ever get out of that dusty Candlekeep?
Imoen: <CHARNAME> and I rarely got out. We were always chastised that we wouldn't be allowed back inside if we left the walls. I think that was more to scare us than anything. But, there were a few times we got to see outside. When I did, I always wanted to visit the beautiful forests and all of the life they had to show.
Erevain: That reminds me of my home of Evereska. Imoen, we had the most beautiful forests in all of Faerûn. ReEvery tenday I would travel up and down each tree reciting each one's name: Agala, Einid, Ogainithyn, Illesmyin, Nintomyan, Erevain, and so on.
Imoen: Erevain? Really? Did your parents name you after a big stick with greens? What came first, you or the tree?
Erevain: The tree. An ancient exquisite Duskwood that has been growing for centuries prior to my birth. Such namings are not uncommon amongst the elves.
Imoen: So does every coffee mug, every weed, and that pebble over their have names too?
Erevain: You make me smile Imoen. No, Not everything in nature have a name.
Imoen: Well I'd bet your name was a lot better than most other ones out there and it helped make you more famous in Evereska.
Erevain: ...Maybe later
Imoen: What?
Erevain: ...Later. Maybe. Let's continue moving.

At Rest or Before Waking.

Imoen: Why is Erevain always so moody about his past. Maybe there's something in that journal I seem him writing occasionally.
Imoen: (Sneaks nearby Erevain resting and grabs Erevain's bag)
Erevain: (Quickly turns around and grabs his bag)
Erevain: Do you intend to steal from all your companions!
Imoen: Um, er....no...
Erevain: Do you think that an expert infiltrator doesn't know when he's being inflitrated!
Imoen: I wasn't inflitrating you I...
Erevain: Yes, you were! I'm not as careless as some of these companions
Shar-Teel (if present): Watch where your loose tongue points elfling!
Erevain: I will not be stolen from you harlot!
Imoen: Hey, be careful what you say grumblebutt! Take your stupid bag and journal! (Imoen lets go of Erevain's bag)
Erevain: Be careful that you don't steal what's not yours! There's nothing here that your child mind would be impressed with!


1. CHARNAME: Hey, Imoen shouldn't have tried to take your bag, but do you have to be so mean about it?
2. CHARNAME: I'm sorry about that Erevain, Imoen had no right to take that bag from you.
3. CHARNAME: If you can't defend your bags, then you can't be mad that Imoen wants to take them.
4. CHARNAME: You huffed pretty loudly when you almost lost an item. A thief was mad at a thief for stealing. Is the irony lost on you, Erevain?
5. CHARNAME: Be careful what you say! Imoen has been my friend a long time and she doesn't deserve to be called those names.


1. Erevain: (pats CHARNAME on the shoulder and smiles). You are more than welcome to be nice to rogues who steal from you, and I'm sure they'll be so grateful to you that they won't do it again.
2. Erevain: Thanks. Watch her more carefully. Imoen's harmless thefts could do us a lot of harm eventually. Not all are so forgiving as I am.
3. Erevain: I did defend my bag, thank you. And yes, I can be mad at someone who wants to steal from me.

3.1 CHARNAME: You huffed pretty loudly when you almost lost an item. A thief was mad at a thief for stealing. Is the irony lost on you, Erevain?
3.2 CHARNAME: You're right, my apologies.

4. , 3.1 Erevain: I only steal when I need to or the person I'm stealing from can afford to lose it.

1. CHARNAME: So couldn't you afford to lose the bag? Sounds hypocritical to me.
2. CHARNAME: I don't care much at all for stealing. I'd suggest you cease doing so while you're in this party.
3. CHARNAME: I understand. We all have private things that we aren't ready to share

1. Erevain: I don't answer to you. Leave me be.
2. Erevain: .....
3. ....Thank you

5. Erevain: Then perhaps she shouldn't be taking what is not hers! I don't think anyone in this party signed up to be robbed by fellow members!

5.1 CHARNAME: I don't care what Imoen does! You had better not say those things to her if you want to stay in this group! She has been a friend for a long time and that tone is not welcome!
5.2 CHARNAME: Yes, she shouldn't have done that. But, neither should you say such cruel things to her!

5.1 Erevain: Then perhaps I should leave then. It seems that my well-being isn't important here.
5.2 Erevain: Dear Corellon help me!

5.1.1 CHARNAME: Yes, I think you should leave. I'm sick of your rotten attitude.
5.1.2 CHARNAME: I don't want you to leave Erevain; you need to understand the seriousness of calling Imoen such rotten names.

5.1.1 Erevain: Good riddance. Joining this group was a mistake. Have fun getting stolen from everyone. (Erevan leaves permanently).
5.1.2 Erevain: I'll stay for now. But dear Corellon help me! These people equate stealing with name-calling!

Erevain: Despite everything, I know that you harbor some good feelings about your home of Candlekeep
Imoen: Ya I do. It was a stuffy uptight place full of fun opportunities to pull pranks. But, it was home.
Erevain: My home was a giant maple tree. Filled with markings of my ancestors generations back until the founding of the Blacksheaf clan. There was laughter and play at every season of each year there. All of my siblings and cousins would play around it together. That tree housed, warmed, and fed us with its delicious syrup.
Imoen: That sounds like a very happy childhood home.
Erevain: I would love to take you there and show it to you one day. I am sure the Evereskans would allow a savior of an elven city to visit with honors.
Imoen: And I would love to visit it with you one day when the world does not require as much saving.
Erevain: That would be most wonderful.

Erevain asks Minsc if his homeland of Rashemen is as cold as Icewind Dale. Minsc responds that it is indeed very cold and parts of this area remind him of home. Minsc laments that he'd love to meet some of the barbarians nearby. Erevain responds that if he does, Minsc would be most helpful if any conflict were inevitable. Minsc disagrees and says that Boo is his most fearsome weapon and that Evil best be wary lest its butt be kicked.

Erevain: Minsc, would you consider Rashemen to be as cold as Icewind Dale?
Minsc: Beloved Rashemen was far colder than any puny Dale. Minsc had to use his beserker strength just to warm up Boo. Brr. This place is rather cold and Boo is freezing. Maybe this place is like Rashmen.
Minsc: What's that Boo? Yes. This area does remind me of home. Minsc would love to meet some mighty barbarian warriors here. Such mammoth warriors are an inspiration to all.
Erevain: Well, if we do run into any barbarians. I'll be glad to have you with me Minsc. You are a most formidable weapon.
Minsc: No. Boo is the most fearsome weapon. Evil be wary of his harp claws and pointy teeth!

Minsc comments that he has an intelligent miniature giant space hamster that someitmes others erroneously refer to as a regular hamster. Erevain scoffs a bit and asks how Minsc knows that Boo is intelligent. Minsc laughs and tells Erevain to ask a series of questions of Boo. Erevain obliges. Erevain asks Boo to stand. Minsc whispers to Boo and Boo stands. Erevain asks Boo to roll around. Minsc whispers to Boo to roll around and Boo does so. Erevain asks Boo to name of the days of the tenday. Minsc whispers to Boo and Boo squeaks back. Minsc repeats "Firstday, Secondday, Thirdday, Fourthday, Fifthday, Sixthday, Seventhday, Eigthday, Ninthday, and Tenday" Erevain slightly annoyed says that Boo is only responding to Minsc's comments and that its just Minsc reciting the days of the Tenday. Minsc laughs telling Erevain that it's not Minsc's or Boo's fault that Erevain doesn't speak Giant Space Hamster, but don't worry they don't question that Erevain is intelligent.

Erevain: In Elven lands we have intelligent pets called Cooshees. They are often erroneously referred to as a breed of dogs by outsiders.

Aerie: Erevain. What is beauty?
Erevain: Beauty is what is desirous. What tantalizes the senses and brings that instant sense of awe.
Aerie: So, lust is beauty?
Erevain: Not quite. True beauty is something we're simply instantly attracted to; it is something we want to have or be around
Aerie: So, beauty is lust
Erevain: Hmm. I guess it is hard to separate two.
Aerie: Beauty is just a quality. Lust is just a way to appreciate that beauty in a way that is too much.
Erevain: I have a lust for life and if that is too much, so be it!
Aerie: Of that I am sure Erevain.

Erevain: So, how long did you stay in De'Arnise Keep when you were young?
Nalia: I'm not sure what you mean by that question, good elf.
Erevain: Were you not bored? Did you not grow tired of that stone fortress?
Nalia: Of course I did. Which is why I learned ways to sneak out of the walls many a time and in fact learned magic to aid me in my escapes.
Erevain: I was never so lucky. Even if I wanted to escape Evereska, I'd have been caught almost immediately by the Vale Guards.
Nalia: So you loved your home enough to not want to leave it. How is that unlucky?
Erevain: I suppose I may have tried to leave it if I knew that it weren't so well defended.
Nalia: And, yet you have left it. After so many years. Do you miss it?
Erevain: ....Yes. I...No. I'm sorry. Let us continue. I can say no more.

Erevain: Sir Keldorn. How can you stand to wear such bulky and orange armor? Don't you just wish to take it off immediately?
Keldorn: Lord Keldorn. And, this is my family armor, passed down from generation to generation. I honor them by wearing it and besides, I'm more nimble in it than you'd normally think.
Erevain: (puts his hands on the armor and pulls up). But, it's still so weighty. How can you stand it?
Keldorn: Get your thieving hands off of me. This armor suits my family and I well enough. Not every armor is a shade of brown or green and elvenmade
Erevain: But, they're so much more comfortable and beautiful don't you think?
Keldorn: I do not and prefer my own. A sure way to disappoint an elven thief is surely to place large heavy items in their paths. Good day to you.

Erevain asks why Keldorn wanted to join the Order of the Radiant Heart rather than becoming a sellsword. Keldorn responds that that is an impertinent question and that the Order of the Radiant Heart is far more prestigious and praiseworthy way to live one's life rather than be dedicated to one's coinpurse.

Valygar: Hmph. We'll see. I have heard of that cloak. Do you have one?

Erevain: Yes, there were the Swords of Evereska, a group of Fighters, Wizards, and Paladins. I'm sure you would like them.
Mazzy: I would! Tell me of them, what are they like? What tests and challenges do you have to face to join them?

Mazzy: What strange Elvish question is this? Why would my kind dance in battle?

Mazzy: I assure you that halflings fight very hard to defend themselves, their homes, and their families, they are not the least concerned about using such "flair"
Erevain: Halflings are so agile though! Not even a little somersault?

Jaheira: Why would I wish to be anything than what I am?

Erevain: Natural skill enhanced by magic.
Yoshimo: Hah. Without such magics you are an inferior rogue no?
Erevain: Perhaps. I have much to learn and would do well to learn from one such as yourself. You display such skill in your trapmaking. I have no idea how you accomplish what you do.

Erevain: The Swords of Evereska have prospered for far longer and served many a more people.
Anomen: Yes, I've heard of them. Noble deeds I'm sure, but for elves only. The Order of the Radiant Heart works for the good of all.
Erevain: The Swords of Evereska have done many a good as well. And actively seek out to help others.
Anomen: Other elves that is. If you can enter Evereska's Hidden Vale, which non-elves cannot visit. The Order of the Radiant Heart is open to all in seeking justice. Good intentions from your elven counterparts perhaps, but not in deeds.

Jan: So, how is it being an elf Erevain?
Erevain: I am fine being an elf Jan.
Jan: My third great uncle Nesmot was an elf for a long time. His large floppy ears made all the elven ladies swoon over and over after him. Unfortunately, male elves jealous of his ears stole his earwax one day and that was the end of his run.
Erevain: Yes, elves without earwax is a great tragedy.
Jan: It was. Nesmot's ears grew smaller and smaller and less pointy and less pointy. His confidence shrunk and so did his height. And, that's how Nesmot came back to the Jansens. He just didn't have the earwax to make it as an elf.
Erevain: Well. What an amazing story.

Jan: I never got to tell you the story of my third great uncle Nesmot and the mucousy medusae did I?
Erevain: No Jan. We are all really longing to hear it.
Jan: Well, be long no more elven friend. You see Nesmot had just a regular inferior nose that most races like yourself have.
Erevain: Excuse me?
Jan: It's simply a fact that Gnomes truly have the best schnozzes in the whole crystal sphere. Nesmot's nose unfortunately could not make par. After a bit too much to drink, Nesmot ended up in the clutches of a medusa and a maedar. The snake lovers got into an argument and upon seeing Nesmot's puny nose and the maedar's handsome one, the medusa wanted to punish her mate. The medusa quickly turned them both into stone, chopped their noses off and switched them out before returning them to flesh again. The maedar was weepingly furious but ol Nesmot was dancing as happy as could be. His new giant green nose was the talk of the town and all the gnomish ladies now swooned for him.
Erevain: Wait what about the mucous?
Jan: Oh yes, well you see that maedar nose while handsome had a real sneezing problem. Nesmot gathered all the mucous and donated it to others and they too saw their noses grow and grow and grow.
Erevain: Big and green?
Jan: At first. Though the green color eventually muted out. The big noses spread like ketchup seeds and that's how gnomes got their beautiful schnozzes.

Haer'Dalis: Tell me Erevain, in what ways do elves of your ilk occupy themselves with acting and the performing arts?
Erevain: We have several elven festivals where actors and actresses play out the parts of gods in ancient tales or as important elven monarchs and figures of the past
Haer'Dalis: What about new plays? New stories? New tales?
Erevain: I can't say those are generally told in the format that you're most fond of.
Haer'Dalis: How unfortunate. When did elves become so boring. Wouldn't you like to be able to play a king? A beggar, a guard, a vigilante, a lover?
Erevain: Elves live a lot longer than most humanoids Haer'Dalis. We already get to play so many roles in a lifetime.
Haer'Dalis: But, you can't play all of them.
Erevain: That's what magic is for. Become a man or a woman. Or a human or halfling and so forth.
Haer'Dalis: Hmm. Most peculiar. Even such magics cannot substitute the immense feeling of truly becoming something other than yourself. You should take some time and try art of acting yourself.

Haer'Dalis: But, I have such a name already, Sparrow.
Erevain: I don't think that name suits you well.
Haer'Dalis: I've played the Sparrow for a long time!

Erevain: Well...er....um
Cernd: I've heard many tales of elven cities. So wondrous! Such an exquisite testament to nature's beauty!
Erevain: Cernd..I think I...

Edwin: The same thing?! A Red Wizard does far more than just one thing! A Conjurer does far more than than just one thing!
Erevain: Yes, but you just summon more things right? A few more hobgoblins, an extra ogre here and there.
Edwin: (These miserable simians know nothing). your knowledge of magic is so fractured, you're likely to throw your sword thinking that's casting a spell.

Edwin: "A regular mage? (pathetic simple simians unable to comprehend). A Conjurer is anything but irregular. Truly valuable is a specialist who can complete their magic to its highest form. Not some pathetic generalist who isn't good at anything.

Edwin: Bah. (imbecilic monkeys thinking they understand the Art). Your powers are even more diluted! I would gladly take any other mage, even a pathetic generalist, instead of you.
Erevain: My power is far more than the sum of my individual parts as you should already know Edwin. And perhaps I'll be a little less generous protecting you next time.
Edwin: I do not need your protection elf. I am well powerful enough on my own.

Shar-Teel pulls out her sword and warns him to keep his elfling mouth shut or she'll cut Erevain open, CHARNAME willing or not. "I would skewer my own family if they went too far, how much less so a pathetic elf male".

Erevain: Tell me of your heritage Shar-teel. You came from Baldur's Gate, yes?
Shar-Teel: Ask someone else Erevain. I do not talk to poor male elflings.

Shar-Teel warns Erevain to stop looking her way. "I told you before to place your pathetic gaze elsewhere. I shall not warn you again elfling!" Erevain tells her to shut up and that he wasn't looking her way and that the most perverted Calimshite wouldn't be tempted to even considering looking at her. Shar-Teel says "That's it!" Shar-Teel and Erevain Blacksheaf automatically equip their melee weapons and enter a cutscene where they fight each other with melee attacks. Shar-Teel and Erevain are both given a temporary effect similar to Imoen's belt where neither of them can go below 1 HP.


The fight commences. If Erevain is reduced to one hp, he is scripted to be knocked down and stay down until Shar-Teel finishes her dialogue. "Next time, you won't get up." Shar-teel kicks Erevain Blacksheaf in the groin and he wails in pain. If Shar-Teel is reduced to one hp, she is scripted to be knocked down and stay down until Erevain finishes his dialogue. "No more threats from you ever again" Erevain inches closer to her and whispers "I can attack more locations than just the front"

Erevain asks Accalia if Tempurans have any memorable festivals that they celebrate. Accalia asks why Erevain would ask such a question. Erevain says that he misses the Lateu'quor, or translated in the common tongue as the Forest Communion of the Crescent Moon. "The most beautiful sight you'd ever see. Exquisite dancing, drinking, music, and art of all kinds. Rarely, Corellon bestows a special gift at these celebrations: A piece of Art, a Harp, a suit of Armor." "Wow, that's impressive." "It is. In fact, this sword was one of the gifts on one of those rare nights. The Feywarden of Corellon chose me to receive it". Accalia laughs "Out of all the elves of Evereska, why'd you get it?" "I don't know. To this day I don't know. My brothers and cousins were so jealous! The sword has served me well though." "I envy you Erevain of Corellon, I hope that Tempus will honor me in such a way one day. "Erevain smiles. Perhaps he shall!"

Erevain: Do Tempurans have any major festivals that they celebrate?
Accalia: Why do you ask such a question Erevain?
Erevain: I miss the Lateu'quor. It roughly translates in the common tongue as the Forest Communion of the Crescent Moon. It has the most beautiful sight you'd ever see. Exquisite dancing, drinking, music, and art of all kinds. Rarely, Corellon bestows a special gift at these celebrations: A piece of Art, a Harp, or even a suit of Armor.
Accalia: My, that's impressive.
Erevain: It is. In fact, this sword was one of the gifts on one of those rare nights. The Feywarden of Corellon chose me to receive it.
Accalia: Out of all the elves of Evereska, why were you chosen for that honor?

Accalia: Corellon seemed to favor you for some reason
Erevain: True, yes.
Accalia: Yet, how many more priests of Corellon never received his direct favor in that way.
Erevain: Yes, I suppose. But, the gods can't favor all of their servants can they? Else, favored wouldn't mean anything right?
Accalia: But why is it that many times the god's most devoted servants are not among the god's first chosen?
Erevain: I'm sure that Tempus favors plenty of his priests. Why do you doubt that Tempus does not favor you? You seem to have done quite well. Tempus does grant you spells does he not?
Accalia: He does. I suppose that I can be impatient at times. I want to do great things to honor Tempus and his church.

Erevain: Accalia, we talked before, but you never told me about the Tempuran festivals.
Accalia: Once per year, Tempurans celebrate the Feast of the Moon. On that day under the full moonlight, we have a large feast accompanied by a set of rituals and prayers honoring the fallen warriors and paying tribute to the fallen warriors to come. Sometimes the children put on plays reliving famous battles.
Erevain: That sounds gruesome.
Accalia: (glares at Erevain). The weapons are blunted and precautions are made to ensure that none of the child actors are hurt. (smiles) In fact, one year as a child I got to play as Tempus himself fully hidden and concealed behind a helmet and riding on two ponies representing his steeds, Veiros and Deiros. It was frightening to be wearing such heavy armor and having to stand with one foot on each of the two ponies, but was nonetheless thrilling and great fun.
Erevain: I suppose that sounds like fun, but you couldn't play as any famous female warrior or heroine?
Accalia: The boy who was supposed to portray Tempus hurt his back and we needed a quick replacement. Since I was about the same stature, they chose me for the role. Tempus has never been known to speak directly on Faerun. So, the role was silent which also suited me well.
Erevain: That's nice, but I still think that it's a shame that your "fun" had to involve you becoming a man.
Accalia: It is a great honor to portray Tempus. Tempus is the most sublime heroic deities that Faerûn who has armed and defended these lands for hundreds of years. I would gladly become Tempus, man or not and am honored to have him as my deity.
Erevain: And you thought that you weren't favored? It seems that Tempus is equally fortunate to have such a devoted priestess as you.
Accalia: (laughs). You are right Erevain. I should be more mindful of Tempus's blessings.
Erevain: Absolutely, afterall, he brought us together with Hrothgar and CHARNAME. I'm sure we'll find even greater glories that you can pen in Tempus's honor

Leina: Where do you get off accusing people of such horrible things? I have done no such thing.
Erevain: Those items are not shared with non-elves. They are created specifically for the Tel-quessir: not half-breeds like you.
Leina: Such vile rudeness Erevain. You are no better than the majority of humans who persecute me.

Erevain: If you have done nothing wrong then why can't you say how you got them! You wouldn't want family heirlooms in unlawful hands would you!
Leina: These items were given to me after my mother's death! I...didn't know about it for many months. They are among the few remnants that are left of my mother's life.
Erevain: Yes, it does seem that the moonblade has not rejected you. Else, you would not be able to even lift it. Your ability to wear that armor does seem to suggest a familial fit. Your mother was an elf?
Leina: Yes Erevain.
Erevain: It is still highly irregular for such precious items to transfer to a half-breed. But, your words are likely true.
Leina: Would you stop calling me a half-breed! I am a full-blooded woman with a heart, mind, and soul! I used to have loving parents who endured a lot of hardship and you would do well to remember that.

Erevain: (sigh). A gnome cannot simply become an elf.
Taffic: How closed-minded of you! Such magics are very possible! We must find a mage with the proper skill.
Erevain: Taking the form of an elf does not make you an elf. The elven spirit and soul are alien things to that of other races.
Taffic: Well, perhaps I shall find a suitable elven spirit and soul to complement my form and you will help me.
Erevain: I most certainly will not. To steal those from a living elf or to petition for a new soul and spirit to go to a N-Tel-Quess would be an abomination to Corellon.

Taffic: What are you talking about I just want to become a demon, not actually die!
Erevain: Don't you think there might be some problem in trying to become a demon without any of the drawbacks?

Erevain: Yes, of course. That harmony is one of our major accomplishments.
Sime: However, even so many of your people seem to have lost touch with nature itself, spending their time dealing with the foibles of civilization.
Erevain: Foibles? Music, art, poetry, and beautiful craftsmanship of all kinds!
Sime: While beautiful, it takes your people away from the beauty of nature. The only ones among you that still appreciate it fully seem to be the Wild Elves.

My mentor Yalatheniel ordered a group of Vale Guards and myself to join him in an anticipatory strike before the invading orcs arrived. We had little time to prepare. I snuck off ahead to scout the orc position when I was ambushed by a group of them. I tried my best, but was knocked out by one of their poisons and left for dead. I was able to awaken some time later to discover the horror at my eyes. My Vale Guard kindred were slaughtered as was my beloved mentor, the elf who helped perfect my combat, magical, and infiltration expertise. I had failed to stop or slow down those vile orcs and my dear friends were slain; that same orc party marched their way toward Evereska can began their full assault If I simply could have endured that skirmish, all would have been different; the enemy position and their numbers could have been reported back.

CHErevainPIB2

Erevain: Tell me about Bladesingers. I've heard about them and their legendary feats of mixing blade and magic.

No no no no no! Why do you want to know about Bladesingers. Why does everyone want to know about Bladesingers!

a. Bladesingers are legendary. Aren't you a bladesinger? Goto1
b. Why don't you like Bladesingers? Shouldn't elves be proud of such legendary figures? Goto 3
c. You're right. Bladesingers are stupid! Fie to all ye dumb Bladesingers!

1 No, I am not! Just because I like to cast spells in enchanted elven armor, wield swords in one hand and nothing in the other does not make me a bladesinger!
a. That sounds a lot like a Bladesinger to me goto 2
b. Uhh...yeah. Erevain, you're definitely not a Bladesinger. No possible way. Goto 2
c. That's how Bladesingers fight? I thought they'd be wielding two greatswords, one in each hand, shooting fireballs and lightning bolts from each one while their enemies flew in desperate fear. Goto 2
D. I seem to have hit a sore spot. Let us just continue our travels ~Exit

2 (sigh) Corellon, soothe me with your music.

3 I do not dislike Bladesingers. Their reputation is highly exaggerated amongst the N-Tel-Quess. And it is very aggravating that everyone asks about them.

a. Who are the N-Tel-Quess? Go to 4
b. So, let me guess, you could never be a Bladesinger and you wanted to be? Goto 5
c. Very well. Let us continue our travels ~ Exit

4 The N-Tel-Quess are what we refer to in Elvish as non-Elves or non-people

a. That sounds like a racially antagonist term don't you think Erevain? GoTo 6
b. Very well. That makes sense. Let us move on. ~Exit
c. How does one become a non-N-Tel-Quess? Goto 7

5. Hrmmph! I never said or implied that! Oh Sehanine! Please cure me from this insanity! ~Exit

6. Grrr Grrr Grrrr......it is not anything of the sort. Either one is an elf or not! May Erevan Ilesere hide me from this madness! ~Exit

7. One cannot become a Tel-quessir if one is not already.
a. What's a Tel-quessir? GoTo 8
b. What about polymorph, reincarnation, shapechange, or any other such spells? GoTO 9
c. Sure one can; just get adopted! GoTo 9
d. Good point Erevain. Let us continue traveling.~Exit

8. (Sigh). Why Labelas Enoreth are we going on The Retreat! These other races are so ignorant of our people. A Tel-quessir is best translated as an elf or "of the people". I am beyond tired of this conversation. Let us move on ~Exit

9. (Sigh) That does not make one a Tel-quessir! The Elven soul and spirit are entirely different from other races. I tire of talking. Let us move on. ~Exit

Erevain: Oh Sehanine! Why did I agree to travel this way! If I didn't despise the cold enough to have these frost giants kill most us! (Sigh) If we barely made it then surely future travelers would surely perish, I suppose we must defend the innocent and find the source of these attacks.

Erevain: This stone fabric truly resembles a Dragon. What a grand sight! However, such ostentatious displays are likely used to mask how weak the defenses are on the inside. Carry on <CHARNAME>. but I do think that I could handle this locale on my own just fine.

16.390 Speech to CHarname before deciding to go home or to Severed Hand
16.390 Outline

Every NPC gets a chance to respond to Hrothgar's request to travel to the Severed Hand. This is Erevain's response

16.390 Content

Original Line Hrothgar: Arundel struggled against the pain of his injuries to remain alive so he could tell us what he knew in the hope that we would continue our mission to save Kuldahar and maybe even Easthaven. Are we going to let all he suffered be for nothing?

Erevain: I admit a strong pull to visit the Severed Hand and to visit a famous locale of my people. However, adventure in <CHARNAME>'s time would be an unprecedented opportunity. Whatever you choose <CHARNAME>, I shall follow you.

After rejecting Hrothgar's offer to visit the Severed Hand, the player can click on the portal and the following will happen.

//The below happens after <CHARNAME> Says : So once again we are destined to take the unknown road. Let us ready ourselves for what lies ahead.

Erevain: Wherever you go <CHARNAME>, I shall go as well. It has been awhile since adventuring has caught my heart racing so! It shall be quite enlightening to see the world of your time period.

//If Imoen is present
Imoen: Oh yes, we'll have so much to share with you. Great foods such as mud pies, butterfly wheels, and pixie stuffing!

//If Imoen is present
Erevain: That sounds most gruesome actually.

//If Imoen is present
Imoen: Oh, don't take everything so literal Erevain. There's so many fun things to experience! You'll love it somewhere warmer

//If Imoen is present
Erevain: Rightly so! Getting away from this Icy Anvil will be most welcome!

Hrothgar: I am sorry, I did not mean to alarm you.

Erevain: What strange magic got us here Hrothgar? Such power is common amongst the most powerful of mages. Of which you do not appear to be.

Erevain: It pains me to see such desecration of an elven fortress. How I wish I could view this place in its prime! It would have been a wonder. Now here it lays. No longer the Hand of the Seldarine, but merely the Severed Hand. A once beautiful powerful stronghold blessed by the elven gods themselves and now just an infested ruin. How I wish that I could transform this place brighter than what it was before and say Hail Beauty, Vanimle Aaye, my heart sings to thee, Cormamin lindua ele lle.

16.2130 Outline
16.2130 Content

After twenty years of travels away from home, Erevain finally returned to his home in Evereska. Erevain warmly embraced friends and family not seen in decades. Here he proudly introduced his famous wife, <CHARNAME>. The Blacksheaf clan was impressed with <CHARNAME>'s deeds and heroism, but behind closed doors expressed that they couldn't help but be disappointed by Erevain's choice of a N-Tel-Quess spouse, further diluting the family bloodline and contributing to the increasing scarcity of elves across Faerûn.

Unbeknownst to <CHARNAME>, Erevain challenged his own clan and vigorously defended his spousal selection. Erevain's pleads were disregarded and his clan's opinion remained firm. Rejected a second time, Erevain left Evereska with <CHARNAME> and continued to adventure for a time before settling for a simpler life in Calimshan. News of <CHARNAME>'s pregnancy wavered Erevain's resolve and the birth of their child broke it completely.

Unable to bear the living humiliation of disappointing his family again, Erevain abandoned <CHARNAME> and their infant daughter. Without a word, Erevain left to wander the outskirts of Faerûn, the foreign lands of Zakhara and Kara-Tur, and later the outer planes themselves. Forever ashamed of his actions towards his family and to <CHARNAME>, Erevain drifted for centuries. Eventually, Erevain disappeared entirely and the name "Erevain Blacksheaf" was lost from memory.

Erevain: It angers my soul to see such a monument to the Tel-Quessir desecrated like this. One day my people's numbers will increase again and we will abandon the Retreat. We will reclaim and restore these abandoned locales and make them ours again. This is Hanali Celanil, goddess of love and beauty. That is Labelas Enoreth, god of time and longevity. The rest are more difficult for me to decipher. Damn the beasts responsible for this.

17.400 Speaking to Pomnab
17.400 Outline

Erevain says hello to Pomnab and notes how Pomnab is a Calimshite out of place. Pomnab makes a remark about how Erevain is an elf out of place. Erevain notes that Calimshan is one region he's never visited before and how he'd love to see the dunes and feel the hot air. Pomnab reflects longingly about missing the feel of the hot sand between his toes, the Memnon wines, and the harems of which none are present in the bitter North

17.400 Content

Erevain: Greetings again Pomnab. You seem to be just as out of place this time as when I first met you.
Pomnab: A pretentious comment from an elf so far up North near the Spine of the World. I have a royal purpose here. You merely have a dangerous wanderlust.
Erevain: I do love to travel it's true. Your homeland, Calimshan, is one region I've never visited. The dunes; the hot sand; what a sight it must be.
Pomnab: Yes, I miss the sand between my toes, the Memnon wines, but most of all the women. There's not a single trollop let alone a harem anywhere up here!
Erevain: Perhaps one day I'll find my way down there and you will have moved on and be able to give me a tour.
Pomnab: Perhaps. *Sigh*. Perhaps.

17.700 Meeting Arundel in Kuldahar
17.700 Outline
17.700 Content

Original Arundel Line: I am Arundel, known to some as the Archdruid of Kuldahar. Though I invite you to dispense with the formalities and just call me Arundel, plain and simple. Titles tend only to serve one‘s own vanity and aren‘t really of much use in this small mountain community.

Erevain Interjection: It is good to see you again Arundel. I wish this visit was under more fortuitous circumstances.

Arundel: As do I Erevain. This mountain community is under more strain than ever. With me as an archdruid or not, we will need this expedition's help.

Return to original CHARNAME Dialogue Options:
You are the Archdruid, eh? Then I assume you can tell me what is going on around here?
OR
Very well. Tell me, Arundel, do you know anything about the reports of disturbances in these mountains?

Arundel Original Line: It was this union that the Archdruid Tolben believed would achieve the harmony that we had been striving for for generations... the harmony between man and nature. As it stands, Kuldahar is a monument to this vision

Erevain's Interjection: It is a great union and vision indeed...for humans. Elves have long accomplished such harmony.

Bill, I've moved this topic and slightly renamed it. Thanks and good luck.

The portrait for Erevain

[attachment=4163:Erevain.jpg]

[EDIT] This is my own art, please don't copy.

Thank you Vlad for the support and the picture. I'm pacing myself; getting some work done every day.

Feedback, positive or negative, is always welcome from Vlad and anyone else. This is all obviously a work in progress.

This portrait is too human I afraid Would be good to add more elfish facial features

Bill, triple multiclass is not good.

Other than being slower to gain levels comparatively (1 or 2 higher numbers vs 3 lower numbers) , why do you call triple class not good?

Because XP would be divided on 3. For example: compare priest-levels by Dar and Accalia. Did you play triple multiclass?

Yes it would be. Which is kind of a bummer that I wanted to help alleviate with this custom thief kit I propose for him.

Yes, I did play a triple multiclass. In fact I've gone through the entire BG1+BG2 start to finish with a Fighter/Mage/Cleric twice! I would say that that is my favorite class combination to play infinity engine games with.

I am aware that some people are not fans of the triple multiclasses and I would like to persuade them to give this concept a chance. There is only one other npc mod that I'm aware of that has a Fighter/Mage/Cleric and there is no other Fighter/Mage/Thief npc that I'm aware of so this would definitely be a plus of uniqueness there.

I could propose to have a custom non removable undroppable amulet similar to Edwin's that grants +20% xp. This would effecively give 40% of all xp earned to each of Erevain's 3 classes which is better than 33.3% and doesn't step on the toes too much of the double multiclass companions. The only disadvantage is that Erevain would outpace potential triple class npcs and CHARNAME (if triple multiclassed).

In fact I'll propose the above because I know that's an issue for some people.

Do you realize triple multiclass for solo or duo?
And you need Triple-Class HLA Tables additionally...

I've done triple multiclass, solo, duo, and in a 6 person party and yes it's more fun leveling a triple solo or duo, which is why he'll have a custom item to increase xp gain.

Triple Class HLA tables and XP cap remover can be installed in other mods if desired. I would recommend those mods, but I'd hate to duplicate them here.

I've added some outlined and written banters for Imoen and a couple of others. I don't know the coding format for the actual game, but I could certainly include this if someone would shoe me how.

Also, is are there any standard number of dialogues for TOB?

Thanks,

Bill

I'll do coding, Bill. Most important, when you write dialogues, make sure they don't end with PC response. Always the last phrase in a dialogue should be of NPC. No definite number of dialogues.

Thank you. Continuing to add outlines and dialogues. I want to verify that the NeJ NPCs are

Shar-Teel
Dar
Accalia
Hrothgar
Leina
Taffic
Melora

Am I missing any?

It's correct. But add banters also for Yoshimo, Kachiko, Sime, Valygar and Keldorn.

Ok. Great. I didn't have Kachiko and Sime so I'll add them in too. I'll prioritize the banters for Yoshimo, Valygar, and Keldorn.

Since we're including Tortured Souls NPCs, shouldn't Bohdi be included as well? She can join you for some time right?

Yes.

I'm trying to edit Erevain's intial dialogue with the player. There's this file: NeJ\Dfiles\DEREVAIN.D At some point I think this is compiled into: override\DEREVAIN.dlg"

I'd like to edit this initial dialogue with Erevain and then immediately test it. What do I need to do to properly compile this so that I can test this ingame? Obviously I could edit the .d file and reinstall completely but that would be a prohibitively long process

Bill, of course you can edit the. D text file, but please don't do that. Just send me the dialogues in the format someone says this, another one said that, the protagonist answer, someone replied, another one interject, and so on.

I'll do scripting myself.

Getting something done every day. I have a lot of respect for people who mod. It takes a lot of time to even put one NPC together. I'm pacing myself and setting this effort up for success.

I've been looking for a dialogue, but I've been having trouble. Before you leave the journey for Kuldahar, Hrothgar informs you that Accalia is willing to go with you on the journey. I want to add an extra dialogue to indicate that Erevain may be willing to go on the journey as well.

Where is this dialogue? I can't find it in HROTHJ or HROTHP

Thanks.

DHROTH

Just finished the initial join dialogue. Need to test this as well as write a kicked out dialogue. Amazing how 25 days have passed and I have still worked on this a little nearly every day.

Good

Bill, I'll make scripts and in-game dialogues once you finish them all. No need to test all separately. It won't work this way.

Thanks.

Thanks Vlad. I'm trying to understand something from Hrothgar's rejoining dialogues:




I see several instances of bracketed code like [HROT_L02] or [HROT_L13]. What does this code do exactly?

Thanks,

Bill

This is sound, Bill.

I have enter and exit dialogue mostly finished. The only piece of exit dialog to be done is the exact coding to return to Kuldahar tavern; I'll leave the area code to you Vlad.

I've finished descriptions for Erevain's custom items. I have 2 banters or banter outlines for most NPCs except Leina, Taffic, Melora, Xan, and Irenicus. I have the travel to Kuldahar interjection done.

Other Major Things to Do:

Finish Charname banters
Finish Remaining Event banters
Change remaining NPC outlines to written dialogs.
Write out Guthic and Yalatheniel dialog and encounter information.
Finish playing NeJ and write interjections along the way.
Write ToB Enter and Exit Dialog
Write ToB Epilogue.

Excellent!

Getting closer to finishing banter dialogues.

Looking through the files, I cannot find any ND.2DA files. These normally contain the epilogues for NPCs. Are there no epilogues for NEJ? No ToB content either?

Unfortunately, no. Jan has come back, but still needs time to get these things done.

Hey, it's Never Ending Journey.

I would hope that name is not literal! The Neverending Story did have an actual ending.

Well, if she is back perhaps she can give some thoughts on improvement for the NeJ NPC banters I've written and will soon finish, when she has a chance of course.

Also, is there a plan to ever implement the Heart of Winter and Trials of the Luremaster content as well? Or is that out of the mod's scope?

Well, back in 2003, the name was actually literal.

HoW and TotL have always been on the list, but since everything takes a lot of time, I'd say no for now. As you understand it would require writing a tremendous amount of new content including dialogues, banters, interjections and to incorporate the new story in the main NeJ plot. I'm open for suggestions anyway.

I will probably add some ideas/suggestions when I get that far.

I am glad to say that all NPCs have at least 2 dialogues with Erevain. I would like to create a third dialogue for those missing it to so that there will be 2 SoA and 1 ToB dialogue. Since there is no ToB content for NeJ NPCs, I will hold off on those. I"ll get to the fabled 3 dialogues for the remaining NPCs later in development.

I also wrote 1 epilogue. Ooh boy!

If you want to see Erevain in action - watch Episode 4 of my walkthrough. Xan is there only level 5/5. Imagine such Erevain at level 10/10 - unstoppable killing machine.

Bill, I made Erevain character as a fighter/enchanter/thief. There will be no kit but I'll give him some cool items with special abilities. Rings, amulets, belts can increase his thieving stats and add magic protection, as well as double the amount of his spells. His personal sword can give him better THAC0 and AC, for example, with some other cool effects. Boots of speed and bonuses to move silently. Check two attached characters and think what would you like to add.

Attached are two Erevain's characters at level 7/7/7 and 7/8/9. Put them into your characters directory and import in the new game.

[attachment=4178:Erevain.zip]

I wouldn't mind a Fighter/Enchanter/Thief as an alternate version selectable at install or as a placeholder until the kit is coded in fully. I'll happily code this myself. I'm fairly firm on this. Some of the points that went into this decision

1. Although Xan is an exception, elves have a long history of being expert Generalists, with the Elven Generalist racial substitution levels from D&D 3.5. Erevain has been written as a Mage not as an enchanter in his dialogues and as a generalist in his Edwin dialogues already.
2. Infiltrator is an Elven Only Thief Kit from the Complete Book of Elves. Although the abilities do not match. It's a nod to the classic 2E kits.
3. Infiltrator sounds better than Thief. Kind of like how Bilbo Baggins preferred to be called an "Expert Treasure Hunter". Erevain has been written to be a little more respectable than a petty thief and already written dialogue references himself as an infiltrator.
4. I'm trying to do something different with Infiltrator, trying to reduce thieving points in exchange for thieving related spells and trying to find out if there's an interesting balance point

Spell-wise I'm ok with what was included. He needs to have the strength spell. The purpose of this was so that his 18/50 can be boosted to 18/00 with the price of a spell.

Stat-wise, I put the following originally:


Knowing that the Mage trials in Harluaa require Wisdom, we could try to pop that up a bit. Perhaps:

Str: 18/50
Dex: 17
Con: 16
Int: 17
Wis: 15
Cha: 11

You don't actually need 18 Int to cast level 9 spells and Erevain won't be able to do so unless someone includes the mod to remove the level cap. Erevain can use a potion of genius, a tome, and/or Watcher's Keep bonuses to get to 18 for that.

I want to try to avoid Erevain impossibly outshining a Fighter/Mage/Thief CHARNAME. I think 18/17/16 Str, Dex, Con is ok. Parting with lower Con is a no go. Triple class has HP problems to begin with. Watcher's Keep can increase all these stats by 1 anyway.

I intend to keep Erevain's alignment as Chaotic Good.

Weapon Proficiencies: The original Erevain started with his Broadsword and his bow and arrows. My intention was to have the starting proficiencies be:

Longsword: **
Long Bow: **
Single Weapon Style: **

That goes in line with the traditional elf who favors longswords and long bows and gives the flexibility to choose either fighting style and is not a pain to switch between melee and ranged (ala two weapon fighting and a bow or sword & shield and a bow).

It could possibly be:

Longsword: ***
Long Bow: ***

The issue with that is that a regular PC could not do that and Erevain becomes more of a Mary Sue than he already is.

Yeah, I noted in my notes the items I want to have for him, scroll there for details:

1. Elven Plate +2
2. Erevain's Broadsword
3. Blacksheaf Family Amulet


I was thinking about him having a Cloak of Elvenkind and Boots of Elvenkind to start out with. These could be boots of Elven Speed. I think it might be nicer to have a speed upgrade via Conlan the Smithy, Cromwell, or Cespenar.

As I also noted in my notes, I am planning for Sword and Armor Upgrades as well.

A final note: I do know that you have graciously volunteered for help and to code. I would like to do some work myself here as I want to learn to mod, and many things can only be learned through the pain of actually doing them. I go into this process, expecting to implement this mod myself, and whatever assistance you provide is always appreciated

Ok, Bill. Up to you. I can make a kit if you want or anything else. No problems. Your baby - your call.

[EDIT] Considering his stats, there will be some tomes in NeJ, so you can boost some stats, as well as different girdles. But what's the most important is to put his dex to 18. There is an internal bug in IE that doesn't take into account the dexterity bonuses when calculates AC in combat. So, dex 18 is a must. Constitution may be any, yes you can roll to get better HP, it's again a bug but it allows to roll as high HP as possible, and you know that after level 8 you stop getting HPs more than 3 for anyone. So, it really doesn't matter if your character has con 12 or 16 at level 7. He can get max other 10-12 HPs and that's all. Strength in NeJ is not a problem at all, as you'll have enough str tomes and items raising str of at least 3 NPCs to 19-21. So, you can start with 16 easily. There is no XP cap in NeJ with Baldurdash, so no worries.

Well, I will admit as far as the coding for the Infiltrator kit, if you're willing to help/implement that I would be grateful. Thank you kind sir.

I did find the following from Baldurdash.org



I did some testing, but I was unable to reproduce any errors for my 17 Dex man test.
The advantage of 16 Con vs. 12 Con is 18 HP. 17 Con vs. 12 Con is 27 HP. 18 CON vs. 12 Con is 36 HP. Erevain is going to remain a Glass Tank for quite awhile. Stoneskin and High AC items will be a must. Let's look at the stats again:

Str: 18/50
Dex: 18
Con: 12
Int: 17
Wis: 15
Cha: 11

This is a total of 91, but his low HP will be a factor in the feeling of his actual balance. I"m ok with that. It is true that there are some more tomes out there, but I would not want the player to use Wisdom tomes on a non-Divine Caster for just one part of the game. Best to let those go to CHARNAME or another Divine caster NPC. Erevain would definitely want to benefit from a Str Tome later on. The rest are nice but not necessary for him which is good for the player.

I did some research, and apparently two weapon fighting is quite good. I didn't realize that +APR weapons like Belm and Longswords of Speed actually increase the APR of the main weapon. Moreover, I did not realize that the game artificially limits you to a base 5 APR except by using Improved Haste which doubles all your attacks, granting you 10 attacks per turn! That's why improved haste exists! I never understood why a lack of fatigue was worth a 6th level slot. Now, I get it! So, if we see the base APR, we get the following

High APR Methods
1: Base
2: Base, 13th Level Fighter
2.5: Base, 13th Level Fighter, Specialist
3: Base, 13th Level Fighter, Specialist, Gauntlets of Extraordinary Weapon Specialization
4: Base, 13th Level Fighter, Specialist, Gauntlets of Extraordinary Weapon Specialization, Offhand Weapon
5: Base, 13th Level Fighter, Specialist, Gauntlets of Extraordinary Weapon Specialization, Offhand Weapon of Speed
10: Base, 13th Level Fighter, Specialist, Gauntlets of Extraordinary Weapon Specialization, Offhand Weapon of Speed, Improved Haste


So, it wouldn't be the end of the world for Erevain to wield two weapons, but I'd like to think of creative ways to allow Erevain to get that blessed 5 base APR with only a single longsword and nothing in the other hand! Would it be possible to code a longsword that when equipped, prevents equipping a shield or other weapon in the offhand slot?

I'm thinking we can create an Artifact Longsword, perhaps a famous Bladesinger Blade of Striking Speed crafted by the God of Bladesingers, Tethrin Veraldé. Give it +2 APR, and prevent another weapon or shield being installed in the opposite slot. This would be ideal as it would be the most flavorful. Yalatheniel would use this against Erevain and would be using these same massive APR tactics. If not, then we may just settle for one of those +4 Longswords of Speed and move on.

Dual wielding is one of the best combat features in BG2, and particularly when you have a multi-class character. Adding AC and save bonuses to one of the weapons creates a shield effect. But the problem is technical. If I make his broad sword a two-handed sword then definitely he cannot put anything in the offhand slot. But otherwise, I have no idea how to block his second hand slot. I think it's technically impossible. But then if you put stars in the long sword, it won't make sense because actually technically he wields a two-handed sword although it may look different in the avatar. So, Bill, I suggest you live with his dual wielding which is great in my opinion.

[EDIT] I can create invisible, non-droppable item, even may be shield which gives him bonuses in his second hand slot, and it will be blocked forever. Is it what you want?

As I'm reading and understanding, Two Weapon Fighting is good because it grants you an additional APR. An offhand Speed Weapon grants 1 APR to the main weapon and 1 APR to the Offhand Weapon. This is an ideal method

In the original BG2, there are only 2 melee weapons which increase APR, Belm and Kundane. In 2E, there are two specific weapons that are similar to these, the Scimitar of Speed and the Short Sword of Quickness. There are no official weapons that I know of that increase the number of attacks other than the Scimitar of Speed. There is however, a +5 version of the Scimitar of Speed in 2E. I would be perfectly fine with there being a +5 Long sword of Speed.

I want to meet your desire, Vlad to get good APR. In my mind, we should not sacrifice mechanical competence for flavor; we should try to get both. We have an advantage in that the max APR that the engine allows is 5 (10 with improved haste)

1. Erevain is written as a fairly traditional-style elf. Traditional Elves are cool. 1 sword in one hand and nothing in the other is cool.
2. We should find a way to make Single Weapon Style Competitive with the extra APR of two weapon fighting
3. The easiest way to implement this is to use a weapon that grants 2 more attacks
4. This allows easy switching back and forth between melee and ranged, flexibility is good and this naturally supports the traditional elf. The game engine does not support easy switching between 2 weapon fighting and a bow.

Disadvantages of a +2 APR weapon

1. Mary Sue-ish, no other weapon in BG2 grants such a thing, and it's really powerful.
2. We can't prevent Erevain from using two weapon fighting. A +2 APR offhand weapon would grant a specialist 7th level fighter 5 APR (1 main hand, 1 off hand, 2 bonus, 1/2 7th level, 1/2 Specialist). This is an extremely easy way to get 5 APR with minimum investment.
3. If other classes can equip the item, it makes them trounce fighters advantage APR wise. A +2 APR sword and anther +1 APR sword will make any character instantly have 5 APR.


Proposal:

1. Make Erevain's broadsword add +1 APR. This will mean his starting APR is 3 (1 base, 1 sword, 1/2 specialization, 1/2 7th level). This is equivalent to keeping the sword the way it is but having Erevain use two weapon fighting
2. Make Erevain's starting proficiencies be: Long Sword ** , Single Weapon Style ** , Long Bow ** . This will not prevent gaining Two Weapon Fighting Pips, but will incentivize Keeping the other hand empty for awhile.
3. Give items to upgrade Erevain's Broadsword to make it +2 APR, or introduce an item in late SoA or ToB that is a +2 APR Long Sword

I welcome your thoughts Vlad, and give that you're the current guaranteed audience for this modification, your opinion matters!

Bill, when time comes, you'll send me the list of what you want I do: cre, stats, kit, items, list of dialogues, banters etc - everything in order, much the same like you're doing here.

By the way, watch Xan's solo in Durlag's Tower. I think this is how Erevain being fighter/mage/thief should act.

Hi Vlad,

I am fine with you coding everything listed above. Truly, having your help would be a bounty and enable this mod to be completed and perfected faster.

I edited the Description For Erevain's Sword and I updated his stats based on our earlier conversation. Erevain should have the outline of Everything needed for him to be codeable and playable even if he doesn't have everything else done yet.

I watched your Xan Durlag's Tower video and I admit some ignorance in how you got Xan's AC to -9, and that seems pretty good against those Skeleton archers. Erevain should be able to tank with Stoneskin up and his AC should be easy enough to raise. His HP will not be good though, but I suppose that's an ok tradeoff. Erevain being usable and useful ingame is important and I'm very open to your ideas.

In some ways coding Erevain might be good since you're close to completing BG1 and a test to see if everything meshes ok would be welcome.

My thoughts/concerns are the following

1. You definitely get author credit for the mod, but I need the freedom to modify it. I want to avoid a situation where I will offend you if I modify / add to the code.

2. I eventually want to try to use some of the more modern coding from the Weidu Chain (such as this from the Branwen mod)


3. At some point after Completion and Bugquashing of Erevain Blacksheaf for NeJ, I'm going to want to convert the mod to IWD in BG2, IWDEE, and BG2EE. I know you don't like those mods, and I can understand that, but I don't want you to be offended by me taking steps to implement that myself later.

4. I don't know about the endgame for mod hosting. Because eventually the mod will work for multiple game types, it probably needs its own subforum. If I can get one on Black Wyrm Lair, great. I may want to take the mod to github at some point for ease of use in updating/downloading.

Bill, I have no problems with you distributing and porting your NPC mod to any game you like. It's your mod, so you can do anything with it.

I use most of the WeiDU coding techniques including CHAINs. If you open NeJ codes, you'll see that.



But sometimes WeiDU handles dialogues improperly, not like I want. I prefer the safe coding and safe modding. That's why, in many dialogues, I still use the original and simple dialogue coding style BEGIN-SAY-THEN-END. There are many tricks I know how to do in WeiDU, and I am aware of many problems in WeiDU, which I have my own coding tricks to bypass. So, don't think that I don't know the modern WeiDU coding style. I simply don't like some of patching things, which are changed from version to version. Once I used one type of wildcards, but then it was changed, and I needed to rewrite a large portion of code. Another thing I detest is that WeiDU automatically updates all the EXE files in the directory to the latest version. Sometimes that causes errors during installations. I'd prefer to stick to WeiDU 185, which proved to be the most reliable for me. Anyway, all this is just lyrics, which have nothing to do with the actual mod.

You can have a separate forum thread here at BWL, of course. Just drop an email to Baronius.

Vlad: A truly a most generous individual. You have my thanks and respect sir. I am even more excited to be working with you.

As as far as progress, I update the first 3 posts to add in new content and I am able to do this nearly every day. As stated earlier, I have written content for up to Dragon's Eye and am working on the dialogues for the first encounter. I organized the mod contents in a way that made sense to me. I'm happy to alter my organization if that makes it easier.

You're free to code whenever you wish at whatever point you feel is best for you. I will continue to write day by day.

I am aware that quality modding is cyclical, going over and over again until the finished product is of as high quality as possible. And, seeing the glut of mods out there, quality is definitely more important than quantity.

Bill, please note that you'll meet Xan in Halruaa. Have you played the second part of NeJ3 already? Xan appears there as a senior student replacing the absent tutor in enhancement. He will give you tests to pass. Since the events take place in the past, he doesn't know you, and you cannot reveal yourself either. You are acting like spies in Halruaa. Think what would happen if he sees Erevain, his own cousin, in the party. Surely, he will recognise him, elves live long lives. Xan will start questioning Erevain, and you need to find a way out of this delicate situation. Maybe Erevain might tell the truth to Xan hoping that Xan would not reveal his own cousin. Anyway, I suggest that you reach Halruaa and decide for yourself how to deal with this a bit complicated situation.

Hi Vlad,

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't gotten to Harluaa yet. I am at the very start of the Severed Hand right now. My initial thoughts is that Xan will consider Erevain to be an impostor and will confront him in some manner. Beyond that, I am not entirely sure.

Depending on the flow and what I see there may be an opportunity to introduce Erevain's former mentor, pursuer, and nemesis Yalatheniel at Harluaa. Perhaps Xan will join the fight and aid Erevain. I'll have to see what opportunities present themselves and where introducing the Yalatheniel encounter makes the most sense.

I finally finished the dialogue for the Guthic encounter. I'll prioritize playing the game and figure out how to write the Xan interaction.

Bill, please no fights in Halruaa, until it is absolutely necessary (like in some quests there and when nobody sees you), and only in the end of your visit there. And you don't have weapons there, only spells. And mages there are pretty tough and many. So, please think about peaceful solution or compromise or even small errand.

Bill, I start making Erevain. I see there is a lot of material to add, so don't expect it will be too soon. Please supplement what's missing in the meantime (essential things like tree of life dialogue etc.)
