Just started a game and thought i would try a warror along with my Favored Soul of Kord. to get Kobart, Turuko had to fall down the back stairs at the inn. Just cleared the Moathouse, and Zert and Kobart stayed loyal without any fuss. Anyone else try a party like this? Or at least recruit Kobart withot Turuko?
Kill Lareth, do the encounter, return to his cave and ressurect him with the scroll from the St.Cuthberg church's shelf.
I don't think you can have Kobart, Turoko, Zert if you plan to do the ambush. Kobort or Turko will only potentially turn on you if both are in party. Kobort can be made into a very good Abjurant Champion, as he can really profit with that 2H hammer focus. You might need to use a number of his stat boosts for charisma and will go sorc. Although you could use a cloak of charisma, too. And look at Abjurant Champion to make sure he has all the correct requirements (iirc will need combat casting feat).
