My party was going to put off searching all the Beregost houses until later, because they wanted to go back into the wilderness to kick some butt. When they entered Feldepost Inn to get a night's sleep, however, Marl attacked them. They went ahead and killed Marl, but I am worried about how this will affect later events. They did not receive a reputation hit, but who knows. Note: Apparently, if you choose to speak with Marl nicely, he will not attack. I was not able to do this, but you should give it a shot. At any rate, I don't think killing him has any deleterious effect on your party.

There is no real need to kill Marl, just follow these steps :

• "you go where you want"
• "You do what you think is right, solving more trouble than you cause"
• "You won't be held accountable for what the fates deal"
"Ask him if his son wouldn't of gone anyway"
Buy a round of drinks to toast his son's memory.

1. Before you go down, you will probably run into the undead Icharyd. He is a very tough warrior. Take your time.

2. The basement of the school is filled with dire wolves, dread wolves, vampiric wolves and oozes. The dread wolves especially respawn at an alarming rate. If you want to stop the respawn, simply leave one character in that room. You will know what room I am talking about when you come to it.

3. The book is found in the SE corner of the dungeon (work yourself counterclockwise along the dungeon to reach it). The area surrounding the book room (it is actually a pile of refuse) is filled with traps and dread wolves so be cautious.

1. Kill the halfling in the basement of the hut. The secret door is behind the western bookcase.

2. Kill the ogre mage.

3. Next, you will need to kill the wizard. This is made especially difficult because of the nature of the terrain. You will see what I mean when you get there. The wizard is also surrounded by ogrillions and at least 30 or so kobold commandos. To make things worse, the wizard is a master of the lightning and fireball spells. Fortunately, he also ends up hitting most of his minions as well, so this can be helpful. The biggest problem with this entire dungeon is its tight hallways. It is very difficult managing your characters in here. And as you fumble around, the kobolds will be firing 5 to 10 fire arrows into your party. Proceed with caution and use fireball if you can.

4. A note on respawn: respawn in this area is massive. If you leave an area for just a few seconds, that area will refill with kobold commandos again. These kobolds may be weak, but their sheer numbers and their fire arrows make this area quite a challenge.

5. I made the mistake of thinking I would have to come out the way I came in. This is not true. As you move from area to area, keep on moving forward or else you will be faced with respawn on both sides. If you have the fireball spell, or the fire wand, it is very effective in clearing out all the kobold commandos. Just keep moving.

6. Be sure to find the skeleton in the SE area of the dungeon and take his armor. Return the armor to some ghosts in the same general area. They will give you experience points and will disappear.

7. You will come out at Firewine Bridge. For the purpose of this guide, however, I returned directly to Gullykin to finish up there. See below for Firewine Bridge quests.

That pretty much says it all. You should easily defeat Tranzig. If not, you may run into serious problems later on in the loop.

Note: Be sure to SAVE before you encounter Tranzig. After your encounter with Tranzig, be sure to check your Sword Coast (world) map to assure that the Bandit Camp area has appeared. If it has not, then you may have encountered a game stopping problem (see Q & A, Hints - Game Play - The Bandit Camp does not appear on my map).

Folks, use the fireball on these guys. Any group of wizards willing to stand in a nice neat clump is just begging for it. Sure, the fireball may not be effective later on in the game, but it sure is right now.

If Edwin is in your group when you meet the red wizards of thay, they will greet him and leave. You never fight them and you get no exp or anything from the encounter.

After you kill Osmadi, his friend tells you Osmadi was insane. Gee.

His 'friend' Corsone is actually a shadow druid who wanted Osmadi dead, and will confess this and attack you if you keep questioning his motives (he's worth 1000xp)
