Thank you so much! I finally completed everything in the game, woo! A pity about my sanity though. Oh well, these games are worth it.

Hello there, long time lurker, first time poster. I have played through the Geneforge series, as well as Avadon The Black Fortress, but I have never played any of the Avernum games until Escape From The Pit came out. I have loved the game so far, but I am having some troubles along the main quest lines. I have searched all of the old posts in this forum section for help on these topics, but I didn't find anything. I apologize beforehand if I missed a thread pertaining to these quests. The first problem I am having is with joining Scimitar. I went and cleared the Gremlin Caves before I was given the Empire Orb quest (where you need to destroy some communications orb the Empire uses). I have gone back and searched every part of the cave, but I can't find an orb like the one in the Ruined Fort, and so now I can't join Scimitar, or continue any of Erika's quests. Did this quest rely on something happening with the Empire soldiers in the cave to be completed, or am I just blind? Another problem I have is with Grah-Hoth. The two doors to the infernal realm area of the Abyss won't open no matter what I do or who I talk to. I have talked with Rone through all of his dialogue options after finding his journal, I have talked with Patrick after doing all of his quests, I have talked with Erika, but she says nothing on the topic, I have retrieved the Anathema blade, and I have gone through Grah-Hoth's old fortress and retrieved the Empire symbol from the statue. I keep talking to King Micah and he keeps saying that he has sent people to open the doors, but every time I go and try to get in it keeps telling me the doors are barred. The final problem I have is with the Message To Elizabeth quest, given by the jerk mage in Fort Emerald. I know this one isn't really important at all, but it really bugs me that I can't find her. I have searched Silvar, the other towns around Silvar, and a huge swathe of the map area, but I can't find her! Please help me!
