There should be a note from Ployer that you find through your adventures - but it's not critical. When Jaheira gets cursed, she will talk to you. You have some choices that she poses as likely avenues to resolve her problem. I think the one you want sends you to talk the Bernard, the barkeep at Copper Coronet - so pick that one in your discussion w/ Jah. Read your journal - you'll have a couple of entries. You should be able to take it from there.

The curse progresses rapidly. I'm not sure, but if you booted her from the party, I think you need to reload that game.

I'd talk to the mages first, go to the government building and talk to Corneil. Go outside afterwards and a mage will pop up and talk to you. Bribe him. The fight with Ployer becomes a lot easier.

Lord Lothar next time you choose to post such quest critical info stick a spoiler tag on the beginning then leave close to 20 lines before the actual message.

20 linebreaks is a bit excessive. 8 will do for major spoilers, while 4 is sufficient for minor ones.

I am going to try and save her today.
Is there a time limit, how long does it take before she dies?

Once you start with her getting cursed - don't delay. You'll know your time limit by checking her stats upon occassion.

I checked both walkthrus and can't find any answers.
I went to government to redo the bribe, but didn't see any mage anywhere.
Can you spell it out for me, what do I do?
How do I cure her?

One other question-
Can I recharge wands? where, how?

1) Go to the Slums and enter the area marked Empty House( or Derelict House).

Quote:

(4) Jaheira cursed: If Jaheira is in your group, a man named Baron Ployer will curse her when she enters the Sea's Bounty Tavern. To remove the curse you will need to visit the Slums and enter the home to the left of the Slaver Ship (north side of the area). In the home you will find Ployer and his 3 hired wizards. You will need to kill them all and then loot their bodies for a "Lock of Jaheira's hair". You will gain 21250 exp for the trouble. You will need to sleep 2 times to completely remove the curse icon from Jaheira's picture.

Also, from inside the Sea's Bounty Tavern, you can locate a secret door that will lead you to the "Pirates Hideout". Kill the Pirates, and then check the water puddle for 1100 gold and a few gems.

User Added info:

You can make the hired wizards leave Ployer alone to fight you before going to Slums. If you visit Government Building and speak with Cowled Wizard selling licenses (not sure of his name... Corneil?), you can ask him about Ployer's mages. He won't help you but when you leave the building, you'll meet Terrence, one of Ployer's mages by the entrance. Terrence will offer you to pay them 1000 for leaving baron to fight you alone. 500 gold is ok for him too [img]smile.gif[/img] On bribing the hired mages, you'll get about 10100 exp and they will not appear in fight with Ployer.

Later, when finally meeting Ployer, you can simply kill him or make a deal - demand Jaheira's hair lock for leaving him alive. If you'll kill him, you'll get 6000 exp plus 21250 exp for quest completion. In case of deal, Jaheira screams "No quarter to Harpers killer" and killing Ployer on her own will. In this case the script writes something like: [Ployer is dead... Party gained 21250 exp... Jaheira: "I'm feeling better bla-bla-bla"... Party gained 21250 exp.] Does it mean the party gained 21250 exp TWICE? I haven't wrote down my previous exp numbers so cannot make sure of it... - Thanks to Tortikoff for this excellent alternative!

2) Sell and buy/steal it back.

You could even try what I did.... when bribing Terrence (sp?) he offers to kill Ployer FOR you. I don't know what that does to exp points though.
