I levelled a couple characters past the first few skirmishes when I first started playing because I didnt know they existed. There was no quest over the skirmishes NPC (which has been removed from the Blacklake altogether now), and no indication at the level the skirmish became available that there was one, such as the "U"…
I've played DnD since the late 70s but I also dont really know the Forgotten Realms lore. Neverwinter is a book in a series starting with the GG. I would recommend going to your local library and borrowing any of the Forgotten Realms books. Also theres a Forgotten Realms guide someplace apparently. I havent done much…
Until today I wasnt sure about the Cantankerous Mage but this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qTHcndSgCw&list=UUsIghHd1VyG2TEjIKCRU2gw makes me reconsider, I've gotta get me one of him. He's also a companion you dont see around The Protector's Enclave much yet, though there are lots of the Clerics and Guardians.
