Drakensang Blood Mountains

Blood Mountains (spoilers!)

This area is full of quests.
Now my question.

I don't know. But I would use the spoiler tag for most of your post.

I agree. I modified my previous post to hide all spoling infos.
Also, I'd like to know which are the rewards for the different quests.
Is there anybody who completed the Priots quests and can give us e smilar list?

I cannot help much wth the question, except that I avoided the Praiots at all costs.

Just don't enter their area anymore.

I killed the priest. And old witch told me that because of that i can't go to the camp.

So IF you let the priest live you will be able to visit the camp AFTER certain evil person is defeated.

Now my question is if i ever get another melee trainer other than the camp one. Or i am screwed for good.

They just wont attack you on sight anymore, if you handle the situation with the toad peacefully. But they won't let you into their camp.
If you want the special benefits of the Inquisition you MUST work for them.

There will be no other good melee trainer for the next few parts of the game.

It seems that if you don't kill any Ray of Light (starting from the recovering witch's pot quest) you'll be allowed to enter the Priots camp.
In the German forum they say that you can wait till the guard flee from the encampment where the with's magic pot is located.
If you set every character on defensive mode and avoid combat with Ray of Lights, the priest at the will let you in.
They say tha, if you finish all the quests in non-violent mode, you'll get two pieces of magic armor.....
I finished the wirches quests without killing the priest but I killed some guards and I can't enter the camp.
Anybody knows which rewards you get working for priots?
Which combat skills can you learn?

They called them "Ray of Lights" ... The original term for this group is "Bannstrahler", a special group (parts fanatics) who kind of work for the Praiots.

dict.leo.org (no www) translates "Bannstrahl" both as "Anathema" and as "Thunderbolt".

The Bannstrahler are in fact a sect of Praiots, which is quite aggressive against anything that has something to do with magic, thus witches - and even magic users, too ! Because Praios is also a god who bans magic in general (you can't use magic in his temples).

This rather fanatic sect wants to eradicate the witches there ... So, "Ray of Light" is quite an understatement/Euphemism of what this group really is and does ...

Yep, I would never help a "ray of light". They are the inquisition in Aventuria. Bunch of self-righteous idiots.

This is the reason because I've helped the witches.
Well, I think I've finished almost all the quests:

The reason i failed the "pot quest" is that my group kept following my sneaking rogue.

Is there any way to keep the rest of the group still?

Even with one char selected the rest start following after you reach the end of the "leash".

In Realms of Arkania 2 they are called "Anathemizers" if I remember correctly. For those of you who played the game you may remember that part in Gashok.

I had the problem with the pot quest that my characters ALWAYS followed the "sneaking" person. There is no way to change that.

Even worse, in my case I found a whole detatchment of Praios-Warriors at the site. I read that at one point in the game there is a single one, who calls additional warriors for protection if he is attacked - maybe even if he is attacked by creatures/monsters ?
Well, I had a whole group of them there.

This is how it worked in my case:

I put quite a lot of points into sneaking, and put ALL metal things off ! No party member must wear any kind of metal armor or so ! Because it decreases the successful skill checks of sneaking drastically, I heard.

I let the character with the highest amount of sneaking points sneak to the pot - always behind the tents !

Only very, very shortly before getting to the pot the group was discovered.

I instantly presed pause, gave instructions fot the one character running to the pot and grabbing it, released the pause, and let the pot be grabbed.

Then pause again, and giving the direction to run out of the camp with the whole group !

Releasing the pause, and then they ran ! With the pot, of course !

They came across a group of friendly wolves, which attacked the Praiots.

They ran all of the time away and around, until the Praiots were too far away and lost interest.

That running around was quite difficult, because it was possible to "meet" other groups, but in the end they lost interest and went back to their camp, the remaining ones.

This is how it worked in my case.
