This is my 2nd time thru the game,playing with a good party this
time.Preparing to leave for Spellhold.I have Jaheira in my party,started
Harper quest brought the bird out to the mage (cant remember his name). Then
went to Windspear forgetting to find the thiefs body back in the house. Now
back in town and I cant get in ,and I believe this is holding back the
romance. Tried checking the door at all times of day no luck. HELP!

Thanks
AL

finding montaron's body is not a compulsory part of the harper quests and
jaheira's romance, just a bit of extra XP.

No, you don't need to find Montaron's body -- the Xzar quest is
done. The door to the Harper Hold will only be accessible once the
next Harper quest is triggered.

Jaheira needs to be called away by a Harper messenger, Meronia,
to set up this next quest; this will happen after a bandit attack
after you rest in the wilderness. Just go back to Windspear (or any
other rural areas like the Druid Grove or Umar Hills) and rest
_outside_, not in the dungeon or the cabin. (Once J gets called away,
rest one more time and she'll return to the party to take you back to
the Harper Hold to meet Galvarey.)

Heh I already have all that happen and Jeheria is in my party... again...
the problem is that the door to the harpers strong hold is locked and there
is no possible way to get in that i know of therefore i can't complete the
quest unless i find a map editor etc. Anyone have the same problem... Is
there some hidden quest to get to door open... again...

You're telling me that J gets called away by Meronia, then comes
back to take you to meet Galvarey, and you still can't get into the
hold? I don't recall anyone ever having that problem; are you sure
you've encountered all the triggers and went to the right building (SW
of the dock district)? (I'd also be willing to take a look at your
saved game at this point.)

DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!!!

<some slight spoilers>


After clearing our the Harper hold after your little witch trial, the
next event in the harper thread will involve you being attacked by some
harpers. They won't do this while you're away at Spellhold, but with
the original Jaheria romance script they will attack you as soon as you
get back. The problem is, if they attack you on that screen, everyone
there turns hostile including a major NPC that you need to keep friendly
to move onto the next chapter.

You can download a third party patch that fixes this problem (and
several other things with the Jaheira romance) at

You're welcome. Note that further on a key event and a crucial
dialog in this romance will also need to be triggered by a wilderness
rest. Take J camping when you get back to the surface from Spellhold
and the Underdark.:) (And Todd Rogers' caution about a potential
show-stopping bug and downloading the patch at the Baldurdash site in
another post is good advice.)

version.Bonus item was uninstaller in prep for TOB.I will also take your
advice on a wilderness rest when I return from the Underdark . Todd thanks
