1. The only stat that matters for this is charisma, correct? My charisma 8 character was unable to talk them out of it, while a charisma 12 one had no problems.

2. Is there any way you could set things up so that Elyce doesn't bother you with her problem if you are in the middle of killing hive thugs, for example the ones who stole Poriphon's necklace?

1. I believe that's correct.

2. Good idea, I'll see what I can do there for the next version.

If you talk to Elyce your dialog option is something like: 'I will go talk to them right now.' But you need charisma 12 to talk them out of fighting. (At least if you talk to Tarin. It had not occurred to me until right now that talking to the other one might need a different value in charisma, which is possible.) Thus my poor charisma 7 character had to save up the coppers for 2 charisma tattoos (worth
+3) and go up two levels putting the resulting stat point into char. Which meant that the two hostile characters spent _6 days_ insulting each other, waiting for me to talk to them.

Now this was certainly convenient for me, but I am not sure this is how we would like the quest to run. At the very least, I think that saying that you are going to talk to them 'right now' and then ignoring them should make you more chaotic. But surely they should go after each other with knives after a certain amount of time has passed?

They should attack each other if you can't resolve the dispute after min or so. Sounds like there is problem with certain dialog path/script trigger, something Qwinn would know more about. Also, I believe that Tarin you need CHR and other guy you can intimidate with STR.

testing -- 18 str wasn't enough to intimidate Ma'eth.
