Quintara problems

ive seen to have backed myself into a wall with the quintara quest to get the loggers out of the sacred woods..

heres where im at

ive talked to the leader until the only thing i can say is..
Talk to me man!
and
insult him

i figured if i insulted him enough he would attack me and die from the spirits or whatever,.. but whenever i do that the spirit comes out and kills me instead..

perhaps i can still convince him to leave but i just cant see how i could get the dialog to do so,...

is there another way around this quest or am i doomed to restart my damn game.

any help would be appreciated
thanks.

 

With persuasion there is another way.

Without persuasion, have your followers wait. Get into turn based combat mode rather than RTC. In RTC, you can hit back without knowing it. Get out of combat mode & talk to the surveyor. When the surveyor hits you, walk off your turn or use the little green arrow to pass.

 

i guess wrighting your problems out does help,.. because as i was wrighting this i came up with why i was being attacked by the spirits...

dumb ass freinds always attackin on there own...

so if someone wants to delete this thread go to it..

 

Well, put it in turn based combat. Then insult the guy and make him attack you. Tell your followers to back off (f5), don't attack them and they will be killed by the Quench life. Edit: I started this post right before Shadygrove answered.

 

LOL.

The spirits will attact you constantly until the game ends or you die .

Ignore this man advice

 

Either make them attack you by insulting them or attacking without inflicting damage (by the Disarm spell, for example), and let them hit you first- or have high persuasion and get the dialog right.

 

I played an archer and just snipered them.

Also, if you're a thief, dynamite doesn't count as killing them, but it does make them very, very dead, so...
