I have made it to the point in the game wherI need to travel to the spire in Lethien's crossing. I get the mercenary encounter however I cannot cross after exhausting all dialogue. I didn't takea very bloody path on this playthrough so I don't think it's that the group will not me through without violence but it feels like a flag isn't working right. While talking to raetommon there was an option to pay but I didn't click it at first since it looked like a choice that would end the dialogue prematurely and it will no longer show up. Anyone else experienced this or know a way around it. Unfortunately my earliest save prior was around 1.5 hours ago and I don't really want to go back to middle of act I.

No avenue at all? Kind of disappointing. Thought there'd at least be an angle with welby.
Actually I think OP is right - it was hours of gameplay ago now for me, but I definitely got into Lethian's Crossing peacefully. And, I'm pretty sure, without paying a toll. So it's possible there's flag option - or it may be one of those options that you have to take then or its locked away. (IIRC, Raetommon came running up to yell at me while confronting the guards & handling the dispute there - I can't remember how specifically I did it but I definitely promised not to cause trouble and he let me pass. High subterfuge & lore build, which may have had relevance.)
If you did the Lethians Crossing path in conquest, that might have something to do with it
Oh that's a good point from Hopit - I'll add that I didn't go to Lethian's Crossing at all in conquest.
I did and they basically cursed the earth I walked on when I got to that bridge.
I did proceed to smash their faces in of course.

Certain parts of the game are just the way that the people you meet are automatically hostile towards you. This can be because you did something in conquest or even because you didn't do something in conquest. For instance in conquest I crushed a beastman rebellion which led the beastmen to not be open for negotiation and pretty much openly hostile when I had to pass them.
This was also mentioned by the devs that if you do stuff in conquest for instance it can have a big effect like a town being mostly destroyed if you did this or that. Or even because you didn't do that conquest part the "autoresolve" of that section had a worse outcome then if you did it yourself, this part I am guessing a bit at though

It might also have something to do with the faction you've chosen; it seems Raetommon doesn't really like Disfavored. When I asked him about passage, he said that there's no way because I'm a friend of the Disfavored.
Which brings me to another, similar question - I've killed the members of the Brotherhood, now I'm in Lethian's Crossing and I'm not sure what to do. I've talked to everyone, I've found Sirin, I've investigated the Spire. I know I need to get behind the sealed door in order to find the rest of the drawings/rubbings/whatever they're called. I've talked to Eldian and found out he has the keystone to the sealed door inside the Spire. My journal says I need to help him with the bane problem - but I have no idea what that means (my guess would be I have to tell Eldian I'll fight the banes within the Oldwall so he gives me the keystone, but nope, there's no such option during the dialogue).
So, can anyone help me?

You can unlock the Spire without going throuh that door, There's 1 draving in the 1st large chamber, and a 2nd in the teleport room if I remember correctly
Have you talked with the Forge-Bound yet?

Oh, right, I probably could have guessed I don't actually need all the parts of the drawing. Thanks. Still, I kinda want to see what's inside; I guess I'm a bit of a completionist?
Anyway, yes, I've talked to the Forge-Bound, even before investigating the Spire or talking to Eldian. Should I talk to them again?

That door comes into play later on. You should, after unlocking the spire, go elsewhere, you'll return there at a later time

There's a way, though I can't recall what it was. It wasn't immediately obvious to me, but when I returned to speak to him again I saw it.
Great, thank you. I was afraid there might be some bug due to my non-pacifist approach; I guess I'll just wait for the story to unfold.
You should make sure auto-save is always on. For me, the game auto-saves every time I change maps.
