Lake Poet Sam -- One use only?

[Guest Tchos]

After making use of Lake Poet Sam's services to lower my reputation, he vanished. Is this supposed to happen? Will he return at some point, or is each of the three bards one use only?

The bartds go about their business, spreading the word for three in-game days, before reappearing in the same area (though you can visit each individual bard on the same day, if you teleport around via cheats).

 

Sample code from D:\ie_checkfiles\bg1npc-v18\bg1npc\phase2\baf\x#lp1repas.baf

IF
Global("X#LP1RExists","GLOBAL",0)
Global("X#LakeP1RepTalk","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
 RESPONSE #100
CreateCreature("X#LP1REP",[542.592],0) // Lake Poet Sam  Friendly Arm Inn
SetGlobal("X#LP1RExists","GLOBAL",1)
END

IF
Global("X#TT1Deactivate","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
 RESPONSE #100
 SetGlobal("X#TT1Deactivate","GLOBAL",2)
 SetGlobalTimer("X#TroubadorTimer1","GLOBAL",THREE_DAYS)
 Wait(4)
 Deactivate("X#LP1REP")
END

IF
Global("X#TT1Deactivate","GLOBAL",2)
GlobalTimerExpired("X#TroubadorTimer1","GLOBAL")
THEN
 RESPONSE #100
 SetGlobal("X#TT1Deactivate","GLOBAL",0)
 Wait(4)
 Activate("X#LP1REP")
END

Okay, that sounds fine, as long as he'll be back. It just means I can't swap Viconia for Branwen yet if I want to keep Viconia around, since even with Sam's maximum 3-point reputation adjustment she's still unhappy enough to leave for good if I remove her from the party.

 

One more point is all I need, so I guess I'll have to hunt down the one in Nashkel...or is it Beregost? I expect I'll be needing their services again by the time three more days pass, the way things are going. ^_^;

 

Excellent mod, by the way.

You'll find the Lake Poets in Nashkel, at the Friendly Arm Inn, and in the Elfsong.
