God, this True Soul playthrough is harder than I thought. Act 2 spoilers below

Today I completed the Gauntlet of Shar. I told Balthazar to fuck off so that Shadowheart could kill the Nightsong and become a Dark Justiciar. My skeleton army bested his skeleton army easily.

But in the lead up to that fight, I was a bit conflicted. True Soul Gale wants to side The Absolute, and thus he should be helping Balthazar do whatever it is he wants to do with Aylin.

But Evil Gale also wants Shadowheart to become a Dark Justiciar, because I had her as a Selunite on my last playthrough. And you can't do both, I think. Hmmm decisions,decisions.

So Shadowheaet killed the Nightsong, which caused Isobel's magic dome to fail. I had not even spoken to Isobel yet because I didnt want to trigger that cutscene until later. So now Last Light Inn is all zombified. Oops.

I helped Yurgir complete his contract (sorry Astarion) because Yurgir was just automatically attacking on my last playthrough, so I never got to see any of his quest. I finished up the house of healing areas, and decided to head back to Moonrise for some trading before clearing out Last Light Inn.

But oh yeah. I destroyed the source of Ketheric's invulnerability, so they want to fight me. Crap.

Okay, let's go to Last Light Inn to maybe see if Jaheira will help with that at least?

I fast traveled to the waypoint and fought the undead harpers. I noticed that Jaheira was inside fighting a few herself, not even in our Initiative order. I finished the fight and went to talk to her, and all she has to say is "Isobel is in her room upstairs. You should go talk to her." Ooooooookay? Yeah she's not there.

So now I'm not sure how to proceed. I still have a save from right before I went to the Shadowfell. Should I reload, side with Balthazar, and tell Shadowheart to give up on her dreams? Should I go back to Last Light and at least TALK to Isobel and Fist Marcus before that?

I guess I'll sleep on it and figure it out tomorrow. It's only 3 hours of playtime that I would be losing
