Tenderfoot Thahd TazinSpiderweb Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I seem to have a problem with one of the quests in Avernum 5. The quest is the Pylon lesson. I talked to the general and got the quest + the crystal. I then activated the stone portal and teleported to the magic portal nexis thing. I talked to the gatekeeper and killed his shades. (and talked to the sergent whatshername) I then teleported back to the general and talked to him. asked for orders and was told AGAIN to find out about the pylons! What did I not do to finish this quest? I am stuck and need help. I do have a registered version by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Did you get a satchel of activation crystals from Pirro the guy with the shade quest? Check your special items list (click the book symbol on the right and then special items). That should be what you need to finish the quest so that General Redmark lets you leave the demo area. Also the golem that guards the goblin filled tunnels responds to that satchel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd TazinSpiderweb Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I do have the satchel of crystals. As for the golem(the one near the giant controlled goblins)... well... Taz's group felt the need to kill something and he was in the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd TazinSpiderweb Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Does anyone have a possible solution to this or do I have to restart at the beginning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Try shift-D, when a box opens up type 170 1 2. This is the code to set the flag that you got the satchel and should now allow you to go and talk to General Redmark to continue. If this doesn't work, then you may have a corrupt file so try removing the game and reinstalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd TazinSpiderweb Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks Randomizer! That code worked. After I went and retalked to Pirro, I was then able to get the General to give me the next missions. Hmmm, I hope the golem I killed wasn't necessary for any reason... Anyway thanks for saving my game! NOW ONWARD TO ADVENTURE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Mystan Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Nope cuz I have the same problem and I didn't kill the golem but showed him the satchel to show that I had authorization to pass... although why it would stop me from LEAVING the area I don't know. (since I came through the downstairs of the fort rather then up through the tunnels). Dikiyoba gave me the link to this thread and I'll try it out to see if this solves it and it does! I'm thinking that getting the satchel, killing the shades and leaving the fort via underground, and running into the golem (killing it or choosing not to) triggers this error. Thanks again Dikiyoba for helping me find this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Nightowl2 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just one little question: When you went back to Redmark, did you just ask for orders... Or did you TELL him first you learned the pylons? Gotta tell him you know how they work. Then he tells you to move on. - Nightowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
