Tenderfoot Thahd bk23 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I am doing the Saving Fort Dranlon Quest and have encountered the following problem. When I pursue Ozimus through the barrier so he can go downstairs, he gets stuck just at the top of those stairs and doesn't go down. If you click on him the message says that he is too busy trying to flee to talk to you. I have tried leaving the area and coming back, but he's still in the same place. I cannot use the autosave as it does not go far back enough in time. Any ideas guys? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Have you tried killing him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd bk23 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have tried killing him, but it only gives the message about him trying to run away - he does not go into fighting mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 So? Keep hitting him until he dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd bk23 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Lilith - he DOESN"T go into fighting mode. From what I understand he is supposed to go downstairs where you corner him for the final fight. In this case he's just stuck outside.

Garrulous Glaahk Rionep Ecnirp Etlevs Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Sorry. I know I'm just reiterating Lilith's suggestion, but have you tried attacking him until he ... dies? The fact that he doesn't enter attack mode himself may not prevent his death.

Tenderfoot Thahd bk23 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 You can't touch him - he's stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Have you killed the 4 firecasting/demon summoning mages in the area before the barrier? Sometimes you have to complete all the previous steps before the script triggers. If you have killed everything upstairs, then email Jeff for suggestions.

Tenderfoot Thahd bk23 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hi Randomizer. Yes, I got the 4 mages. Even a reload of the game has not helped. I've sent an email now to Jeff mentioning what has happened. Thanks for all suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 You know that it's possible to attack non-hostile targets by entering combat mode (by pressing F) and clicking the attack button, or by casting a hostile spell on them, right? That will allow you to attack him even though he won't go hostile on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd bk23 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 I did try and attack him in the way Lilith suggested, but it did not work. Funnily enough, I went and completed a few other side missions and then thought I'd come back and try again, and when I got back to the area where Ozimus was, he was actually waiting in the middle of the camp and this time when he fled, he went down to the next level as he's supposed to do and I was able to defeat him. Interesting that he got stuck in that way, but I'm just happy that it seemed to "reset" itself after a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Honestly, I never ran into this problem because I was always able to kill him as soon as he started running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Demseinwetter Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I had a similar problem the first time, I played through, Ozimus was just waiting, supposed to be fleeing as the message said. As I was puzzled, I saved the game in a different slot, killed him without any resistance and got the quest completed when I reported back to the Commander.

Fledgling Fyora songsforthebroken Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi, first-time poster. This happened to me as well. He got stuck right near the stairs. When I went downstairs, it gave a message about him fleeing west, but he wasn't there, and when I went back up he was still stuck there. When I clicked on him, it said: "You can't talk to Ozimus, he is too busy fleeing" or something like that. So I forced a fight (using "f" key) and killed him with no resistance. It then gave me a message like, "You'll never know how this mild-mannered man... etc" and the quest was completed. No big deal but it is a bug...
