    I received the medal after dealing with Billy. It was a long strange conversation with the Bailiff, though.

    Yep, I got it after subduing Billy. I gave the magic arrows back too and got extra kudos. Hopefully, that will play out well. I'm still trying to figure out how to get in the keep and guildhouse. I won't forge anything, because my Paladin is party leader and stronger than the rest of us anyway. Same with disguises. I have to get in on good deeds :)

    Sent $20 to show my appreciation of the effort. Thanks!

    Glad that part is working. Now, on to other bits no-one else has mentioned...

    - are people having fun in and with the Thieves' Guild?

    - is Lady Maeri showing up ok?

    I am trying to get the thieves attention but i might have forgotten exaclty how to do that.
    Lady Maeri quest worked perfectly for me.

    While in a spoiler thread i have a question.

    I,m in the Caves and did not want to run errands for goblins and hobgoblins so i killed them and did not get the mark, have i ruined my chances this early on ?

    chano, you can gain access to the Shrine of Evil Chaos (which is the final dungeon in the game!) in 1 of 2 possible ways:

    1. the "good" way - you kill all of the humanoid chiefs at the Caves of Chaos and then
    loot their respective branding irons - looting a humanoid chief's branding iron automatically causes your character to have their skin marked with that humanoids' branding iron.

    2. the "evil" way - you do all of the quests for all of the humanoid chiefs at the Caves of Chaos, in which case
    each humanoid chief will mark your skin with their respective branding iron.

    Spoiler thread or no, I'm gonna slap spoiler tags on that: it's one of those things the player only gets one chance to find out.

    Chano: to clarify (or to enhance what Gazra said)
    you should have gotten the mark from the bodies of the Chiefs, they have branding irons in their inventories.
    Again, if in doubt check your IQ&P set which should tell you how many marks you have.

    IMPORTANT NOTE!!! You start the game with 2 marks to take into account the 2 (yet-to-be-done) orc tribes!

    EDIT: Thieves' Guild? Anyone?

    I've run through twice now (nearing the end of the 2nd time) and have yet to get the Thieves Guild portion going. Good party both times. I have a character with 10+ on all the social skills like Gather, Bluff, Sense Motive, etc. and talked to everyone. It's the only arc that has eluded me. Although there is an option with the Gypsy woman which says "Testing Menu Please" and allows you to join that way. I'm not sure if that's a bug or the proper way in.

    Regarding the Shrine... So as a good party if I
    make a deal with the Kobold Chief and let him go early on, I'll never get into the shrine becasue I won't get his
    mark?

    SPOILER

    I got the raiders camp location, went there, met Mia, but then got stuck, searched (14), tried the search secret door tool, saw nothing... I know the map is bigger but can't go pass Mia

    Okay, I'm at the raider camp too. You use a rope at any rock face, as far as I can tell. You'll eventually get to a large torn tent, but I haven't found a single clue here and I've used tab to highlight, my rope everywhere I can think of, the search function, and the search tool. Zero.

    Need a hint.

    The guy in green attacked me immediately, so I didn't get to talk to him. I also killed Mia, after she proved herself evil.

    Up near the tent there is an item left behind by the raiders, <tab> should highlight it if you can't see.
    Hmmm, that needs an overhaul then.

    Thieves' Guild, anyone? The first encounter is in the Outer Bailey and I'm starting to think it may have been broken in the recent art overhaul (which requires re-positioning a few things). Anyone?

    In the demo you had to do something to get their attention, is that still so or is your partys progression enough for them to notice you ?

    Gazra seems to have gotten to the bottom of that - it's meant to take place outside the pub but the cat is now too far from the door on the reworked Outer Bailey map to trigger it.

    Pretty stuck in the caves, i have been to the goblin,hobgoblin,gnoll and bugbear caves, i have met some other cool stuff but is basically wandering around in the cavesystem with all the doors.
    How many marks is needed and exactly how do i see which ones i already have?
    Ted you wrote something about IQ&P ,, i did not understand what you meant. Do i need a knock spell for the locked doors or are they magically sealed ?
