I was walking through the army camp near where you find Mitox when there was a cut scene with a mage named ?Cornelius? (I think) and he said something about them being tired of my snooping around, and he summoned 2 more people and the did a spell to control the guards. Now the guards attack me. Run or kill the guards? Will killing them affect the guards from areas behavior towards me or bust a quest somewhere? It's only the guards in that fence enclosed camp that attack me.

Another thing: I found out that it was the vamp that killed George and I reported that to Kratus, but when I go to talk to mardaneus, that speech option doesn't come up. Bug? Or is there something else I must do before I can get that quest completed? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

You can kill the guards for the experience points with no loss of reputation or negative consequences, or wait until after you run into one of the three mages later, after which the spell will be broken. You can not help the soldiers other than waiting it out, and that area is not involved in any quests.

Did you refuse to get George the Drudanae herb at the start of the game? That will break the murder quest, even if you later bring him his fix. Is Mardaneus still in Aleroth? Some people have had problems reporting on this quest after he moves later in the game.

I didn't refuse to bring him the Drudanae herb, and I remember bringing it to him. Mardaneus is still in Aleroth. At least he was the last time I checked to see if I could report it to him. He might have moved because I just exposed Elrath as being a fake.

KILL KILL KILL! *evil grin* Time to slaughter the guards and rack up on some exp!

Nope, he's still in Aleroth until you have been in the Castle and freed Zandalor - but did you use ALL speech options with vampire Tutamun before you killed him? Check your conversation dialogue, please.

The only speech option I remember that I didn't use with Tutamun before killing him was "Of what nature are you?" or something like that pertaining to what race he was or what kind of creature thing. Other than that one I believe I used them all.

Check you conversation log, please. Did you ask him about him murdering George?

When I met Tutanum he asked if I knew who he was and I told him that he was george's drug dealer, and he admitted that george was addicted to his drugs but couldn't pay him no more and he admitted to killing george because he couldn't pay no more.

Then I'm really out of clues now, sorry - this quest has 3 problematic spots for not solving it:
1.: Refusing the Drudanae plant quest (as Raze said)
2.: Killing Tut too early
3.: Talking to Mardaneus when he's not more in Aleroth.

I'm sorry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> - these spots don't seem to apply in your case <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I can't solve George's murder either, and here's why: after George was murdered, I didn't speak to Mardaneus about the murder. I only spoke to him AFTER I killed the vampire and reported to Cmdr. Kratus, and I believe that's why I didn't have any speech option to complete the murder quest. Maybe that's also the case with you?

No...I figured out what I did. I forgot to talk to George to get the Drudanae herb quest. But, when I went back to his house after I killed the vamp the drudanae was there. But I didn't have the completed quest or convo with george in my diary. Unless that was the drudanae plant that he had already and I had went to talk to him when he was already dead? But how is that possible? The vamp should have just been leaving his house when I went to see him. I don't know...it's confusing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
