Amber kidnapped, trouble

[Guest theredlemur]

So I'm in Athkatla, on the Promenade, and the slavers just showed up and took Amber. I killed them and would like to head on over to the slums to get things going, but I keep getting attacked by guards. "Guards approach. Obviously word of your misdeeds have reached the authorities." I've never seen this before, but isn't this what happens when you've killed too many commoners? I've killed no commoners, cast no spells without a lisence, pissed off no guards (that I know of). My reputation is 13. Is this a part of the mod or has something gone wrong? Or is it entirely unrelated?

[Meira]

Not Amber's doing, I'd say. What else you have installed? (Post weidu.log)

[Guest Guest]

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I was away from the computer all day... Just the g3 fixpack, tweaks, and dungeon-be-gone. And Amber, installed last. I've never been too clear on what order is best. Love Amber thus far, by the way.

Gracious, did you really want me to post all that? Hope so... Oh, and "guest" above was me, too.

[Meira]

I don't know... You didn't use any area spells on the slavers, did you? Something that might have killed someone it wasn't suppposed to?

[Guest theredlemur]

No, no area effect spells... No spells at all, in fact, since I hadn't yet gotten my magic lisence. Hrrrmmmm... There was a regular Athkatla guard nearby when the slavers showed up, and he helped out in the fight. Never turned red, didn't act strangely, and after they were dead he went back to just standing there. The "guards" who did show up, by the way, all had names, had a mage with them, and were rather powerful for my level 9 self... Afraid I don't remember the names. Sir-this-and-that. Are those the guys who appear if you go on a peasant-killing-spree?

[Meira]

I have no idea if the guards have names, I've always loaded if I've accidentally killed innocents. However, I have had a non-mod related problem where the regular guards turn hostile when the elf hating guy attacks you on the Promenade. Not quite what you've experiencing, but similar. I'd load an earlier save and try again. I think it's safe to say that it's not directly Amber related, though. Not directly, because even though the fight with slavers might have caused it, it could have been any fight that occurred on a public arena. Not that I'm sure that it's the fighting that caused the guards to appear.

[Guest theredlemur]

I've never been one for bathing in the blood of the innocent, myself. Thanks for the help anyway... The oldest save I have gives me the same problem, even in different areas of the city. That save was outside the city (windspear hills) but not very early at all... Oh my god, wait a minute... OK, this just ocurred to me this very second. I was in the Windspear Hills, and had just killed the disguised knights, and been invited back to Garren's cabin, but I hadn't gone in yet. It was outside the cabin that I had the "look at the stars I named" dialogue with Amber, and I'd read somewhere that the slaver attack happens after that dialogue but you have to be in Athkatla for it to happen, so I went to Waukeen's Promenade. Where it did, indeed, happen. All the while I hadn't gone to talk to Garren. Am I being attacked by the Order of the Most Radiant Heart? I've never wandered off without speaking to Garren before, so I don't know if anything like this is supposed to happen, but doesn't he say that the Order will be gunning for me unless he can intercede on my behalf? And I haven't yet had the dialogue with him that says that he's spoken to them for me. Curses, I'd check this but I already gave up and deleted my savegame.

[Meira]

The talk where Amber talks about stars, Jill and Sasha is a 'floating' talk. ie. it's not tied to the talks-track like the kidnappping quest is. It can occur anytime you're on an non-city outside location at night, after you've had at least couple 'casual' talks with her.
