Went through the talking spider caverns, cleaned out the nests, gave the eggs to chief spider (the "you're cute" messages kept cracking me up. The worst was Angry Spider) and he told me to look through the rubble for the pretty stone. I did, got the message that told me that I've spotted it, pressed "take it" and assumed I could now open the glowing portuli. I go to the library to test the rock out, but nothing. I check my quest items, and I only have three of the stones you need to get into the magery dungeon in the first place, and a number of other items that do not partain to the glowing portculi issue. At this point, I suspect a noget bug. I travel all the way back to the spiders, go through the dungeon again, still, no go. Sadly since I like to play rpgs pretty purely, I keep only one save game, to which I return only when I've lost a battle (if you save every step of the way, where's the excitement? being my primary reasoning and everything) and this means I've saved over my pre-spiders quest state and cannot replay the segment in hopes that I'll get the item. Anyone else run into anything of the kind? Anything I can do to save my 10+ hours party? If really really pressed, I might consider leaving the scenario and then restarting it (assuming my characters retain their status) but that'd still really bum my out.

Unless the crystal is not what I must use, in which case it's still a noget and paint me puzzled on where I got the crystal of power in the first case.

*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Saturday, January 1 2005 08:53 Profile #2 The crystal of power is used in the waste controls. The glowing portculli: you should have an item in your inventory that reflects this. Use it. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Lots of people trip up on this, since it was a special item in BoE. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
Helm Apprentice Member # 5344	written Saturday, January 1 2005 19:04 Profile #4 It was indeed a noget bug. I did not possess such an item. I managed to get it back using the character editor, however. Deed done, scenario finished, moving on. Thanks for your help. Posts: 3 | Registered: Saturday, January 1 2005 08:00
