Turned into squirrel

So, I rarely play, once every few weeks. Too busy at work all the time. Neera and Minsc turned into squirrels when on Neera's quest. Polymorph other, remove curse and remove magic will not reverse it. My last save game is hours back. Just about ready to pack it in. I truly did not expect such final consequences when playing, and I just don't have time to figure it out or re-run the last couple of hours. Help, help help help! thank you!

Try Ctrl+R when pointing a cursor on your squirrels.
As far as I know, when you're turned into squirrel you are controllable, you get a huge penalty to STR, lose your attacks, and spell casting - but only for some duration. So after some time it should be cured.
Okay, I just went back to a save file and tried having CHARNAME memorize Remove Curse and cast it on Squirrel-Jan. No dice.
if you are level 10 and you are trying to dispel an effect on someone else is level 10 then you have a 50% chance for success, but for every level higher you are than the person you are trying to dispel you get a +5% bonus to the check, for every level lower you are you get a -10% penalty to the check
I wish I could do that but I'm the one who is cursed. I'm a bear at least it's better than a squirrel.
(I have a fix for this in my tweak mod, replacing "Dispel Magic" in temple shops with a single-target version that doesn't have a level check.)
There are alternatives. Another spellcaster in your party can cast "Dispel Magic"; it's on both the priest and mage lists. Or you can hit them with a dispelling weapon; arrows of dispelling always dispel, while Carsomyr and the Staff of the Magi use fixed high levels. Of course, the damage that weapon deals might be an issue...
