    Possable spoilers!!

    I usually attack the traders and let romag(?) run away so I can get the revenge encounter, but in my latest game, when I attack them, they just stand there. I usually get one attack out of them, then they just skip their turn. I can't flee combat, or otherwise disengage, and I can't get them to do anything.

    I am running patch 2, co8 5.0.4 with toffee (the latest version). except for the underdark crash (which I avoid now), this is the first major problem I've encountered.

    :help:Anyone have any tips? I even tried clearing out the py files (i have toffee set to do so automatically, but i did it manually as well, with that .cmd file). No help there...

    I look foward to your responses! :biggergri

    Try it with only 4 people in your party. This was mentioned somewhere else, but I can't remember where.

    I levelled up my post-count again. Sweet!!

    That's been popping up lately. Old Book has said that the problem usually happens when your party is large, and I know I had that issue with a party of 7, but not with a party of 4 on my current run.

    Check out this thread: http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4365&highlight=Rannos+Gremag

    I think Allyx put a fix in the latest CMF, but it may not work with large parties.

    I'm running 5.0.4 and I usually have a party of 4 + Meleny, and I have to leave Meleny at the Inn to get the Rannos and Gremag thing to work right.

    well, that didn't work. I think the problem occoured prior to my latest save.

    Oh, well, part of th efun of this game is doing it over again with different race/class combos!

    thanks anyway!!

    Yeah, being worked on as I type this. Problem is, as Erkper says, large parties break the script. Am playing with it now to try and find an optimal solution.
