I'm currently playing through with a mostly good party, and decided not to take Xulaye(she's very insistent, but I kept refusing until she gave up). My party is PC, Amber, Auren, Angelo, Yasraena, and Branwen.

All seemed to go ok in Ust Natha until Phaere ordered us to kill Solaufein. He responded with nothing but "I have no interest in speaking right now. All I desire is to remain here and drown myself in black mead until I forget I ever met that witch".

I poked around with NearInfinity (I don't really know what I'm doing, but it's fun ), and it looks like he gives that response if global variable SolaufeinJob hasn't reached 8.
I checked with the console (GetGlobal("SolaufeinJob", "GLOBAL") and it showed 7, then I used SetGlobal("SolaufeinJob", "GLOBAL", 8 ), and then I got the dialogue options where I can kill him or get his cloak and let him go.

Note that I have Weimer's Solaufein mod (version 103) installed, as well as Xulaye v1 - although at this point (i.e. before dealing with the eggs, etc), Solaufein is probably the original one, not the Weimer version.

Anyway, not a serious bug, and I'm not sure if it's caused by Xulaye, Solaufein, or some weird interaction between them when I didn't take Xulaye, but I thought I'd mention it here ...
