Bugs?

.....I have noticed some odd things; was curious if anyone else has run into these.
1) I finished the elemental level of Watcher's Keep. I found the two horns, but the Fire Giant did not drop the Helm of the Rock. Not a terribly big deal, I have more Helms of this or that than I can actualy use, but I could have sold the thing for some cash.
2) Whatever mage I have in the party wakes up after sleep missing 2 HP. I first noticed this with Neera; always she was down 2 HP. I'd heal her with a cure light wounds, and she'd be fine all day, Next day dawns and she's at -2 HP again. At first, I thought this was some weird Wild Mage thing, but when I replaced her with Edwin, the same thing happened! I have no clue what's going on, not does this occur with anyone else. I dropped Nalia a while back, but now I am tempted to recruit her again to see what happens. Very peculiar.
3) It has been more than 2 weeks, and the second part of Dorn's Bloody Path quest hasn't triggered. I have no idea why, From what I have read it's a time sensitive thing. But I tried talking to him, going to the Temple of Helm and speaking to the priests there, and running back and forth between various towns to burn up time but none of that seems to have any effect.
.....OK, forget #3; I got the quest to trigger by resting in place for 2 days and not moving. Maybe the time spent travelling between towns isn't counted as part of the 2 week time frame?

    ....Interesting. Recruiting Nalia seems to have corrected the problem. She didn't get affected by the 2 HP loss bug, and when I switched back to Edwin again, he also remains unaffected. My game is so weird sometimes! And yes, I have done the file integrity thing several times, with nothing abnormal found.
    .....And yet another anomaly arises. I can't transform Edwina (silly Netherscroll!) back to Edwin. The guy who is supposed to show up and transform her back never appears.

    1 : was the fire giant petrified or frozen ?
    2 : do Edwin or Neera worn the green ioun stone giving +10% HP?/

    There are a number of little glitches like these. I most often have Aerie getting the two hit point down thing. Many quest timers are very buggy, I think the Fighter Stronghold quest is the worst. In many games it just never progresses bast the 3rd or 4th event. Jaheira’s quest and her romance are also tricky. Even all the various tweak and fix sort of mods out there never seem to help some of these, I believe Jmerry has commented on this before, the solution is complex and not something readily fixable.

    As Trouveur suggested, missing items *often* come down to how you destroyed the previous owner.

    Oh, yes that Ioun stone ... ok, that would indeed explain the weird 2 HP thing. Good call!
    1) I am pretty sure we killed the Fire Guardian via melee, but it's been a while. We might have hit him with an ice spell.
    2) I found the Fighter Stronghold quest to be rather easy and glitch free, actually. It did take a while to finish Naliea's personal quest, and drag that scum Roenall to his well-deserved end. but I had control of the stronghold well before that. Jaheira's Harper quest line was long, but also went fairly smothly.
    3) So, any idea why I can't transform Edwina back to Edwin? Yeah, he's a risible character in that state, but killing the guy who tansformed him nets me experience, which I value more than the occasional chuckle.

    OK never mind. It's that weird thing where travel time between locations apparently does not count as time elapsed when doing quests that have a specific required time frame. We camped out in the graveyard, and I kept hittimg the sleep button until the requisite amount of time had passed, and Lo and Behold! The quest started up again. I am going to have to keep reminding myself of that. B)

    Oh, and BTW, I have an update regarding the Helm of the Rock. I had no idea until just yesterday that the Fire Guardian is not the only enemy in the game who drops such a Helm. One of the Helmites we fought while doing Dorn's Bloody Path also dropped such an item. So now I do have everything I need for the Helm to be upgraded in ToB. Sweet. :D
