Calm all Ust Natha Drow?

in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition
Long story short, summing up a previous post I made, either I goofed or there's a bug and all the Drow in Ust Natha have gone hostile. I would very much like to reset that variable and make them all neutral without having to CLUA code them one by one. Anyone know how to make a universal change like this? maybe with a script?

Thanks!

    Once they are hostile, a simple variable change will not help. You will need a script of some sort. Find all the NPC codes from that location and set them all to neutral. I could do that, but it would take a day or two, perhaps, to do and test to ensure it is working as intended.

    That seems a little too involved to ask someone to do! :-) The only other suggestion I have received is to fight my way out, return the eggs to Adalon and just add the quest XP that I would have received, otherwise. Not as fun, but…. I suspect this is a bug, as I was hidden in the treasury when everyone went evil.

    Thanks for the offer, though!

    There is a timer, if you don't complete the drow missions within the time limit they all go hostile.

    Not a problem.

    Kill them.

    Kill them ALL!

    LOL!
    It was definitely not a time issue. I guess I have no choice!

    This is not a bug. The drow DO turn hostile if you don't exit the city asap as soon you get adalon's eggs back. The timer is exceedingly short as well.

    If it's just not wanting to simulate the quest xp that's bothering you I'm sure you could edit the quest progress with a few choice clicks in EEKeeper.

    There's a whole section of the quest that involves switching out fake eggs, allying with Solaufein and fooling Phaere that I can't do, once everyone's gone hostile. I know it was not tripped by the timer. Also, the guards in the immediate vicinity should be hostile, but not every Drow in the city.

    I'm going to try using a script that someone wrote for me when I accidentally made Cromwell angry and see if I can re-write it to calm Phaere, Solaufein, and Mother Ardulace. That should allow me to complete the quest.
