    I am not getting a finish after clearing out the Moathouse dungeon. I can't find anything else to kill there: I've set the prisoners free, killed the orgre, zombies, slimes, ghouls, crayfish, bribed the knolls, killed the bugbears (including two behind doors), the master's guard and the master himself and got his diary unlocking the Nu-whatsit village. I got ambushed by a large party headed by Zert et Al at the back entrance to the moathouse dungeon and killed them too.

    When I report back to Burne and Rufus they have no dialogue options apart from trade and the Clear the Moathouse quest is still blue (accepted). Any ideas?

    Sorry all, my bad. I have to report to the temple of st cuthbert. Got confused 'cos Burne told me he had nothing more for me to do 'till I finished Moathouse after I exposed Jayfee, so that's the last thing I remembered (no journal etc in this game).

    Gret game BTW., well done for keeping it alive. Playing the latest Co8 mod and really enjoying it, interface & story line flaws notwithstanding. The art work and partcularly the combat system are excellent and make a enjoyable change from the infinity engine games.

    One question while I'm here: The roll results window just shows me hit/miss and damage taken if hit/success (all of which I can see in the main game window), not details of each attack/save roll, modifiers applied etc. Is there a reason for this or is there some config switch to turn on more detail?

    I believe you can click on the blue words in the roll window to see the details of the roll (with modifiers).

    Actually I am running into this as well. I talked with Burne and Terjon, receiving the dialog that now that I have cleared the moathouse... however, the log still shows blue text. In addition, I can't complete any of the following Hommlet quests: Masterwork items, Woddcutter problem, and Terjon's Artifact. In each case, I receive the dialog giving me the quest, but nothing saying I have completed them. I also travelled to Nulb. I am not seeing any of the Nulb quests on my log, nor am I able to complete them. Tried both the Brawl, and Gurd's Fish (Imerdy Run). This is quite frustrating, and I hope I am just missing something simple. Can anyone help?

    Did you guys sell Lareth's specially made custom boots to Rannos and Gremag? That needs to be done. You can sell other stuff of Lareth's there as well but they really rip you off on the price and it only requires one item to be sold to them to trigger the assassin and ambush fight.

    Sell them the boots and the weight of the world will lift off your back.

    Do you have an NPC in your left-most slot?

    THAT WAS IT GAEAR!

    Thanks alot. I was on the verge of quitting. Was this something I should have known or read somewhere here? If it was, I apologize for wasting your time. But I am happily fighting my way toward the Temple!

    I try to finish as many fedex's as possible before I pick up npc's, and I always put Elmo in the first slot. Lo and behold, that is when my problems would start, but I wasn't sharp enough to pick up on it. Thanks again.

    also, when you eventually do fight them, they will attempt to escape, let them :)

    and take your sweet time before fighting them. Don't provoke it too early... talk to rufus (in the tower, the fighter who hangs out with burne)
