Cloud Nine

I've never seen the swamp beast yet.

I usually pronounced Drow, with a row sound to it. Like dra-row. I recently found out though its pronounced with an oww sound. dra-oww.

Yeah, which you always know there is. Unless its a named mob.

Well yeah, if you happen to get stuck. Most of the time I hate cheating, but maybe thats me.

Avernum 3, Avernum 5, Avernum 2. I'm playing Avernum 2 as we speak ( Well, I'm playing A2, A5, and E1 [kinda sorta] )

Well, I don't really do side quests, unless I happen to come across them by accident. I accually just entered that area today, made an extra save just now

Sweet thanks Toby. That helped out. So, I think all the problems have been solved.

Well, I figured out the one with the portals. I had to talk to the commander ... odd. Anyways, it says to tell the Mayor, but she has no dialog option for it, nor does she "auto" give me the money. ( I delivered her a letter earlier and it worked, I just stepped in the office and it completed it and gave me a 100 coins. )

I mean, for the rat quest I turned it in to Mother Alice. Then I pulled the job off the job board, then I told the guy in the pub. Now for some odd reason, I have the quest stuck in my log book. Thanks.

So, I love this game, so far. It ranks in my top 3 spidweb games, but the thing is I'm stuck. I've gotten to the part where you can use portals, but the thing is I can't advance the quest. I killed the shades under the portal, but the "star" marker still stays in the fort, saying I need to use the portal. Any ideas on how to fix this? I also can't turn in the Rat king quest to the mayor, theres no dialog options for it, even though I took the quest from the job board. [i told that one lady the area was open, and then the one guy, before accepting it on the job board.] Did I glitch it? I also, so now told .. whats her face ( the one drunk lady thats now near the portals... ) about the abyss or what not. The avernum inside avernum... did I mess something up there as well? Any help would be much apperciated!
