Howdy everyone, I'm posting this in the hopes that you can help me with a problem I've having with my BG2 game, modded with The Big Picture...

The problem has to do with getting into Spellhold. I decided that, since I've played the game before, once I got to Brynnlaw, I would just go straight to Perth's house, get the Wardstone, then head straight up to Spellhold (avoiding the whole Galvena subplot and such)

However, once I got there, I get a message telling me I should remove all my equipment before I proceed to avoid upsetting the other inmates. Now, I believe this is an addition from TBP, because I don't remember it from my previous time through the game unmodded...

I do so, even going to far as to drop everything... But no go... Both doors out of the room are locked and barred from spells/picking/bashing. Irenicus doesn't appear to greet me... nothing.

So, I reloaded my saved game (saved right after I got the Wardstone from Perth), and went into town, and did the whole 'watch the guy get iced/save the courtesan' quest. Back to Spellhold, still nothing...

So, I reloaded again, and decided to have myself comitted to Spellhold the old fashioned way... Strangely enough, people weren't that disturbed by the fact that I was casting Comet in the middle of the Vulgar Monkey, or Magic Missile-ing various people around the town... So, I decided to take it right to the source, and go after the Pirate Lord... Unfortunately, I can't even get inside his home, and his guard doesn't have a key...

So, my question is this: Is this a known problem with TBP, or it's related Mods? Do you have to do something else before you head to Spellhold? Am I missing something obvious here?

Alternately, does anyone know a CLUA code to make Irenicus show up when you get there, and begin his little 'Tour'?

I have a full install of SoA/ToB, patched with 26498, along with The Big Picture, and all it's related components (installed using the manual installation instructions to the letter). Also, I have a couple other mods installed (BanterPack, FlirtPack, and DungeonBeGone). I've been playing this modded version for about a week now, with no other problems, other than a chuckle from the fact that Shadow's now apparently know Mantle!

I'd appreciate any help with this issue, and if this is not the proper place for these questions, please let me know where I should take this issue...

Thanks!
