Inside Drow City

[Hodor]

I rescued Phaere and was told to meet Solaufein "inside the city gates". I've been everywhere inside the city, fought in the pit, faced some of challengers, slept several days and still to no Phaere or Solaufien. Where are they?

the area right when you enter the drow city, where a couple of merchants are

not there. Just 3 merchants, Imral, Overseer Handmaiden, Githyakiz Capt, and one Githyakiz soldier. Is this a glitch? I could reload a previous save but now It's been about 20 hrs of looking for them

Maybe. There have been much older bugs, such as this one:

However, not everyone is affected. I've never had a problem like that.

After the battle, there is no need to wait/rest or skip time for Solaufein to appear on the platform near the city gate.

reloaded to the very beginning of chapter 5 and he was there.

I need some help here... I have an I5 mac, am of course playing BG2 EE, am in the Underdark, and am trying to figure out how to get Solaufein down to where the mind flayers are-right outside their area, and rescue Phaere, proceed with the game, etc. I'd rather not start all the way over at the beginning of Chapter 5...

I've done the add that one line of code in the baldur.lua file, I've made sure its locked (I couldn't change it to "read only", just locked the file, so the game couldn't change it back, and am still not able to pull up the console commands on my mac (ctrl + shift only pauses the game) to create char: Solaufein, etc.

Any help would be MOST appreciated. Again, I could start over at the beginning of Chapter 5, but I'd rather not.

Also, I'm pretty sure if there is a time limit involved here, that I only rested once (8 hrs.), before fighting those guys before heading down to meet up with Solaufein, etc.
