Good day all..I have entered the Drow city while in the disguise provided by
the Dragon who wanted her eggs back. I had been doing the quests as asked of
the party by Phaere the Drow. I faked killing the Gnomes, I didn't kill
Soulafien, I got the brain for the Aboleth in the tank, I killed the Lich,
attacked the tower of Jelerat and stole the eggs from the temple. However
during one quest the Drow were able to see through my disguise. Everywhere
the party went we were attacked. To make a long story short we killed every
Drow in the city; at the bazaar, the temple, the inn, the upper levels and
so on. Their is nothing left to do or kill, three of my party are dead.
Problem is the way out of the city is still closed. How do I leave?

Any help would be appreciated
G/L

In the Temple you should have killed the Matron Mother, you should be able
to leave the city after killing her. Make sure you pick up the Dragon Eggs
before leaving!!

Exit the Drow city. There should be an exit to the Kua-toa dungeon to the
west of the area map. Just to the north of the 3 mindflayers I think. It's
easy to be missed, just search carefully.

Thank you for replying, I have the eggs and have been over every inch of the
temple, upon first entering I killed a Handmaiden of Loth, but I can't find
the Matron Mother. I killed her guards and the egg guards and the golems,the
Matron Mother just doesn't seem to be in the temple. Is there a secret door
somewhere?

Thanks for any help

You have run into one of the gamestopping bugs. Copied from Kevin Dorner's
FixPack readme:

If either has already occurred, do the following: quit BG2, enable Debug
Mode by adding Debug Mode=1 under the [Program Options] line of BALDUR.INI,
then run BG2, load the savegame, then type Ctrl-Space for console.

If you are experiencing the bug of being stuck in a hostile, sealed Ust
Natha, type the following exactly into the console:
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("UDARDUL")
then press Enter, and kill Matron Mother Ardulace. Don't forget to pick up
her goodies. :^) Verify you can leave Ust Natha by placing the cursor over
the exit and looking for it to change into an exit cursor, or leaving...your
choice. Make sure you have Adalon's eggs if you were questing for them
before leaving.

Thanks for the info. After following the instructions, the Matron Mother
would appear but only for a split second then she would dissappear. Not
staying long enough to be killed. I would like to kill her now more than
ever. Any more thoughts would be appreciated.

_That_ is a new one. I'm not sure, but you might have to spawn her in the
temple. She will also destroy herself if a certain timer has expired. Try
entering this into the console:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("ADrowTimerHasExpired","GLOBAL",0)
and then creating her again in the temple..

If it still doesn't work, try entering this into the console:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("SPRITE_IS_DEADArdulace","GLOBAL",1)
This should make the game believe she is dead and open the city. Or try this
to move you out of the city into the Underdark:
CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR2100")
If you have to do it either of these ways, you'll miss out on some gems and
the Gorgon Plate :-( At least, you can continue your game.

After playing around with the console for a while just after entering the
("UDARDUL") command I hit pause before the Matron Mother could disappear.
Then before unpausing I would initiate the dialogue sequence. When the
Matron Mother began speaking she no longer disappeared. After that It was
just a matter of slowly killing her, which she richly deserved after pissing
me off. In fact I may load it again just to kill her once more;)
Thanks for the help Glenn..Much appreciated
