Now that I've finished the game (time is limited with work, kids, etc.), I should point out that I found what I had been doing: I was talking to Anaximander from the hallway. I needed to step one space into his office for him to acknowledge that I had fulfilled a mission. I figured I should post this on the off-chance someone else finds themselves in the same predicament and locates this thread. On to Avernum 2 (having won Exile 2 a few times back in the 1990s; let's see how much I remember!)

After talking to Erika and Rentar-ihno, I finally got Anaximander to tell me to go see Levy. Guess I should have explored all of Upper Avernum before tackling Bigail.

Playing Avernum 3, the original. When I speak to Anaximander, the options (summarized) are: 1) What are our orders? 2) Can I return to the Tower of Magi? (note I just went there and got my Solberg rewards for the first two plagues) 3) I've done some exploring. Can you give more instructions? 4) Tell me of the other spies 5) Do you think Erika is to blame? 6) Do you think one of the dragons is to blame? If I do orders, he tells me to explore the surface; I've explored Bigail and the first province and started on the Troglodyte province If I ask about instructions, he tells me to keep finding out what is happening. Hope this helps.

I gathered up the slime pit evidence I missed and relayed it to Berra then spoke to Anaximander. Still no reward; I've given both pieces of evidence. Did I need to speak to someone in Upper Avernum? I only explored the southern half of that area.

Thanks! I missed getting the evidence from the slime pit. I had gotten it from the roach factory before it blew up and turned that in to Berra. I had missed a prior step, though.

I am playing Avernum 3 for the first time (tried Exile 3 after it first came out, but only the free part). I am very confused about getting the rewards from Levy. I have finished the slime plague, the roach plague and gotten back the Orb of Thralni but no rewards yet whenever I ask him. What am I possibly missing? Someone else to talk to?

Thanks for the help. Not really a new face to Spiderweb Software - I started with Exile 2, in the 1990s and also played Nethergate and Avernum before getting too busy with kids. Now that they're older, I have found time to play epic RPGs from Spiderweb again and am doing Avernum 4-6.

In Avernum 5, I was doing the mission for the stone circle by the drake pillars. Since it said the incantor didn't want the magic destroyed, I let the golem live and returned to town. Apparently, this did not complete the mission. When I went back, both the stone column and the golem are gone. Have I blown any chance to complete this mission? And does this prevent me from getting to Solberg's area??
