Quest Problems

**DM_Kev** · 27-01-2006 15:15

Yup, checks only apply to the character taking the quest.

If a high level can take a quest, it goes without saying he will need the company of characters of similar reputation.

If you do one of my quests, it also goes without saying that you will run into trouble

**DM_Kev** · 27-01-2006 16:25

Not much you can do there. Death or glory I say, regardless what my OOC knowledge may be

When poor Tom blackmailed Bill Ferny for an agreed 300 gold, the sneaky so and so only handed over 100!

Methinks an unfortunate "accident" is coming Bill's way....the orphans demand it!

regarding min level:
I got the quest at lvl 17

regarding retreat:
Has nothing to do with levels. In fact you can retreat from this quest (or so i believe). But you cannot get in again. Quests this level were designed for well mixed parties. If you get the feeling that you may need more help, you should be able to go outside the tomb, hire one more knight of Gondor and enter again.

regarding tactics:
Our party was very well mixed and would have been able to handle the quest. I know very well why we were slaughtered nevertheless (but i won't discuss this here). I have no problems that we failed.

I wanted to point out that there may be a bug regarding the key. If you want the quest to be a one-shot try, then the bug is that you can get multiple keys. Otherwise there should be an option to reenter the tomb.
It is quite disturbing to gather a party for a quest but suddenly find the door before you slams shut and leaves you outside with no way to join again.

Quest:
The grainsacks for the miller - Shire

Problem:
The 2 farmers (one is Jobe goodman cant tell the other one's name) who sell their grain sack dont need money. If you dont have any gp you can still 'buy' them.

**deeske** · 01-02-2006 06:24

Quest:

Stolen golden harp in Bree

Problem:
When you decide to kill the thief you find a letter refering to Bill ferny. When you confront him with it you can decide to accept his bribe. He tells you that hell give you 300gp if you give him the letter. When you do, you only get 100gp.

Everything up to here has been added to my workbook - hopefully it should be sorted in the next round of fixes. Only re-report these if they are still there after the fixes update has been announced and gone live.

Many thanks

Lorien

There are no bugs in the convos.

**DM_Kev** · 14-02-2006 09:36

I've taken a look at what you've mentioned, Eddie.

The prison walls do seem to be crossable, though i swear we fixed this some time ago during tests. I'll use a non cep wall I think as it seems CEP team don't understand the concept of impassable walls.

The double xp reward is obviously an error so either I or Lorien will hunt this one down.

Again, no sign of 'bugs' in the conversations. I'd need more information to action these. Unless you are referring to grammatical errors, in which case are errors and just require you to give us the exact whereabouts of them.

No fire arrows in stores?

An unfortunate slip of the mind, they will be added to stores by the player liasion team.

**DM_Olórin** · 14-02-2006 20:12

Kev use fallen timbers at barriers and put the walls on top of them. Fortunately (although strangely) the plank is uncrossable.

**Djihesse** · 24-02-2006 22:28

Dragon quest in Isengar: Even if complete and if I have the white hand token, the marshall still want to hire me to hunt the dragon down. Though I shouldnt be allow to make it again since I prove myself already. The next quest, moria, can be taken as well without any problem.

Here is what i observed for that quest... if you only completed the postal delivry quest you can't take it again, but once you have done the one with farmer maggot, you can take it again. So i think it means that the second shirrif badge will not be detect when trying to take the letter delivry quest.

**DM_Olórin** · 09-03-2006 13:17

Indeed that is the case. Its on the list of things to be fixed at the moment.

In the meantime if you know a quest has aleady given you a token then avoid repeating it. The shire quests provide enough xp to get you started without the need to do any of them more than once.

**karakedi** · 09-03-2006 15:55

I'm sure you're well aware of this one, but since I saw no mention of it in this thread, I'll add it anyway. The first Rivendell quest: the transition out of the quest area does not work, and the quest cannot be completed until next reset, when others in the party may no longer be available to join in the reward for their efforts. This has proved to be a handicap for players in timezones that are often without DM coverage, since they cannot move on to the other Rivendell quests until this one is completed.

Quest : Frodo baggins letter delivry

If you try to persuade him and fail, you will not get the quest and need to talk tohim again... so you can or take the quest without try to persuade him to try again to persuade him until you get a succcess...

**Kyle Morgan** · 28-03-2006 21:53

Minas Tirith - The old guesthouse

A persuaded Mathas of the greyflood inn offers to sell the vintage Tharbad ale for 2000 but takes 2500 from your pouch. Obviously just a minor error in the conversation.

**Mhyradin** · 29-03-2006 02:03

I'm beggining to take the veiw that his quest amounts to 'buying' 200 xp for 500 gp, the dc to get Mathias to lower his price is 30.

From the point of view of a bug the convo could allow that you accept or decline his terms after a persuade failure rather than have the dialogue simply end. I havent looked at that convo as its not one i did, but no harm in checking.

In general, when we include a persuade option, we dont add extra variables and checks to prevent repeated attempts. The answer is to simply not select the persuade option repeatedly until you get a success when you have already failed.

We thank you for your co-operation.

"A Worried Grandfather" quest:

When speaking to Odo after finding Sancho, if you choose to return the reward, the gold he gave you still remains in your pockets.

**Yaqub Abdain** · 14-04-2006 15:31

Laketown/Merchant's daughter quest. Daughter died on journey back, but when we arrived in Laketown she was there? I inadvertenly exploited this by talking to the daughter and then the merchant - I was reading the conversation and missed my parties warning while reading the conversation/not paying total attention - apologies, responsibility is totally mine, not other members of party. However, the fact remains this is bugged.

**ghost81** · 14-04-2006 15:40

Yeah the Laketown one is bugged.

There have been many attemps to fix it to no avail yet.

**misterroboto2** · 14-04-2006 16:21

Have her suddenly explode at the end of the quest. Like "Oh crud, it looks like the spider queen laid her eggs inside claret. Oh well...we got our reward anyways".

**Canuck** · 14-04-2006 16:25

I let her follow me away and quietly dispose of her in a OOC fashion. Keeps multiple Clarets from building up in town and stops players from accidently completing the quest without rescuing her.

**int19h** · 14-04-2006 17:00

Doesn't that give evil points though? And thus is unsuitable for good/neutral aligned characters?
