I seem to be stuck. I went and opened the gate as requested by Kabraxaz and crew. I even got a message acknowledging the gate was open. I went back to them and only got original dialogue with no way to tell them I opened the gate and it was time to go fight. So I went and fought. With that done I went back and it's still the same dialogue. So they're just standing there. Waiting for me. How do I tell them they can go home?

Does anyone know if a character editor/link/script is available anywhere for Avernum 4? I'm playing on easy, but it still isn't easy enough for me (I know, I know) and I'd like to get further in the game without pulling all my hair out. I've tried Shift D and typing in "editor" and I get nothing. Thanks
