First off, thanks in advance for replying to this message. I appreciate the help.

My issue is fairly weird, and I fear game-breaking, so bear with me. When I entered the swamp area of the game, everything was fine. I was encountering some stiff resistance from the Gorkha warriors along with the slime monsters (unprovoked I might add). I eventually came across the Fletcher and Witch Doctor shops. However, they didn't let me trade anything with them since I had killed some of the Gorkha warriors even though they attacked me first. Undeterred, I continue exploring the swamp and eventually encountered a HUGE group of Gorkha warriors (at least 8-9), though I managed them fine. While I was looting everything on the ground, I came across a shiny new necklace. What was this necklace called? Why "The Ruby of Truth" of course!

It took me a minute to realize that I had just found one of the plot central items totally out of nowhere. I checked an online walk-through and apparently I was supposed to talk to the various shop keepers around the swamp, along with doing a quest for the Gorkha Chieftain. Only after doing the quest would you supposedly get the Ruby and you can continue on your way. Like I said however, the Gorkhas attacked me out of nowhere as soon as I entered the swamp. I had no chance to evade them, and therefore I was locked out of the shops and the chieftains hut. Is there any workaround or is my save file F.U.B.A.R and I have to start over again?

That was a mouthful. Thanks again for any help you can give me. This is the strangest glitch I have ever encountered in any game I've played before and I hope there's a workaround.

No, if you got the Ruby of Truth you should be able to continue the game. You miss out on a few items and the ability to buy/sell from the shops (personally I sold everything I could in these shops, because you find a lot of useless/inferior/duplicate items), but you should be able to finish the game.

One thing that's important for solving the game by yourself is that the witch doctor can decipher any remaining ingredients on the Draracle recipe scroll (Dawn and a beggar can decipher two of them, maybe other people can decipher the remaining ones, just show the riddle scroll to anyone you can), but you can get that information from a walkthrough as well, so again, it's not necessary to finish the game.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally hurt one of the Gorkhas with a thrown item or a spell?

I'm pretty sure I didn't hit one of the Gorkhas, though maybe one got hit while I was battling a slime.

So just to be clear, I can continue the game like normal without having the see the witch doctor or anything (I'd just have to look up the ingredients online)? I thought that the sorceress (forget her name) you're looking for is in the swamp, or do I leave the swamp with the ruby in hand and search for the sorceress elsewhere?

A stray arrow must have hit one of the Gorkha sentries standing around, and the entire tribe took offense. You miss out on a cool trident and a vendor that sells very useful fireball wands, along with the warm, fuzzy feeling of having helped the Gorkha community, but other than that, it's no big deal. The only things that you need from the swamp are the Ruby of Truth and an elixir ingredient that you can collect yourself. Oh, and the witch doctor offers a clue about another ingredient, but you can figure that one out on your own. You will find the sorceress somewhere in Opinwood, but only if you have the Ruby of Truth.

Ok. Thanks for the help. I left the swamp and found what's-her-face just fine. Hopefully nothing else like this will happen to me again in this game. ;)
