Neera permanently a squirrel now?

thespace · July 2016

Right at the beginning of the big bandit camp fight (on insane), Neera turned herself into a squirrel. Rasaad has been carrying her stuff, but we've rested a couple of times, and she's still a squirrel. I then kicked her out of the party, and she's still a squirrel. Kind of a problem, since she's my character's girlfriend. Anything in game that can be done?

She's in the above picture, however, can see her clearly here,

Polymorphing into a squirrel has a permanent duration and needs to be dispelled. If Viconia is high enough level she can cast it - if not, the temple can also dispel it.

I tried dispel via the Friendly Arm Inn's temple. Didn't work.

AionZ · July 2016

Dispel doesn't always work. Try buying it multiple times?

Maybe she is enjoying being a squirrel?

thespace · July 2016

Multiple dispels at temple didn't work. Vicconia got fed up and crushed Neera's squirrel body to death via hammer. Then we paid the priestess to resurrect her, and she was half elf again.

Oh yeah, well maybe I should pick up Minsc so boo can play with her

thespace · July 2016

The funny thing is that she was wearing Adoy's belt when it happened.

Boo does have a way with the ladies....

So you effectively invented your own anti-squirelinator spell

Yeah, I kinda assumed that Thalantyr (sp?) can't handle going through that again. I do think you should be able to put Neera in your inventory when this happens. Squirrels move very slow.

The question is, in squirrel shape can you continue the romance?

Likely

She couldn't cast or attack, or carry more than 5 pounds, but it looked like she could still use wands. Maybe if hasted, the squirrel could keep up and just use wands.

I remember being stuck in ooze form myself, from a Polymorph Self bug. Now that wasn't pretty.

DregothofTyr · July 2016

Haha, You should now transform everyone and beat the game as a party of squirrels with wands.

@Kamigoroshi might think differently there.... :-)

So would Boo be Neera's familiar, or would Neera be Boo's familiar?

Fardragon · July 2016

I once had Nalia stuck as a gnoll.

chimeric · July 2016

You know, role-playing wise, it wouldn't be so bad to be stuck in some of the forms. Like a Flind. They aren't slain on sight or anything. It's too bad polymorphed characters can't use items. Anybody wanna change that?

Polymorph self : squirrel form

Squirrels can climb tree like objects very quickly, and they have a bite that can crack nuts.

You may want to invest in bicycle clips. (For those too lacking in years to know about these, they are worn at the bottom of the trousers when riding a bike to stop the trouser leg getting caught in the chain which would otherwise provide considerable amusement for passers-by.)

It is said that they are also used up North (in England) to stop ferrets escaping down your trouser legs.

There is a wand of polymorphing in BG city that turns people into squirrels. Unfortunately for my Neera, she went crazy throwing off all her gear and tried to turn one of us into a statue, but it backfired and now she is herself a stone statue in the friendlyarm inn.

BelgarathMTH · July 2016

Too late now, but I think polymorph may count as a curse, so it may take Remove Curse to undo it. I'm not sure, though. Maybe one of our resident Near Infinity experts will be interested in this topic and can look up the opcodes.

I know I'm really late to this conversation, but here's what I discovered after Neera turned herself into a squirrel:

Dispel Magic doesn't work--either from a caster or from a temple. I tried many times.
Remove Curse doesn't work.
Polymorph Self, which Neera can cast from a scroll, will turn her into the various options, including her human form, but she keeps the squirrel hit points and strength of 3 permanently.
The only way to cure her is to kill her and resurrect her. She then comes back with normal hit points and strength. Many thanks to thespace for thinking of that!

I believe Wild Surge effects are supposed to fade with time. I've enver been able to dispel them, but they fade eventually.

JuliusBorisov · March 2018

Ctrl+R if the console is enabled should bring her back again.
