    I've got a nice 8-th level party, and I'm in ToEE, second level. In the prison I've found two women which, from what I've gathered on the net, should enable me to go to Verbobonc via dialogue options. The problem is, I don't have an option which allows me to do so. I can offer them an escort to VB, and they join my party, but then it's nothing. VB doesn't appear on my map, and the only option I have when engaging in dialogue with them is "No problem, glad to be of help" or something like that, after which they disappear... While still being in my party, so I've got two phantoms.

    Can someone tell me what should I do to get things right?

    Did you install ToEE + the Atari Patch2 + the Co8 5.0.0 MOD followed by either the Co8 5.0.2, Co8 5.0.3, or Co8 5.0.4 CMF?

    Yes, I did, I have Co8 Mod v 5.0.4 with Atari patch v2, though I had the mod installed without the frontend. Could that be the cause of my problems?
    So far everything worked well, I haven't encountered any bugs.
    Anyway, what should happen if the game worked correctly?

    Update: I got to the next level of ToEE dungeon, and I've found these weapon merchants. Again, instead of transporting me to Verb, they just join me.

    Something is broke. Is there a command I could type in the console to transport me to Verb? Or anything that I could modify to allow myself to do so?

    Open the world map, and look on the list on the right.
    There should appear "Verbobonc".
    Click it.

    They used to guide you there, now they'll mark it on your map and you can go as often as you want.
    escorting them it's a quest.

    Nope, still no Verbobonc. I've checked the world map with or without the merchants in party, and it doesn't appear.
    Other parts of the mod (fe moathouse respawn and gnarley woods) work correctly for me. I don't know what can be wrong; maybe I shouldnt've killed Otis and Elmo?
    Anyway, if there's a workaround in form of a console command, or modifying a file of sorts please, please, tell me :(

    you could teleport there via the console, but it sounds like your install may be a little funky, so re-installing may be a better option, anyway the console command to teleport is...

    game.fade_and_teleport(0,0,0,5121,490,490)

    that will pop your guys near the centre of the town.

    All right, now I'm in Verbobonc, killed the dragon. The problem is, I can't use the world map and so, can't get back to Hommlet/Nulb :D What's the command for transporting to Hommlet, or anywhere else where I could use world map with ease?

    PS. Maybe you should put these commands somewhere in the readme in the future releases. I bet some people can get the same bug I did, and can be too lazy to do a reinstall, as I am :D

    I wouldn't have asked for a console command if it were that simple ;> No travel agent altogether. I've found a transport command on some other site, and it worked - glad to have done Verb without tedious reinstallation :)

    might need to adjust the numbers a bit not sure if that exact location lands you in an area the PC's can walk in, could be on the roof of the inn.

    5003 is the Moathouse Tower, Al - and I thought I was sleepy ;)

    game.fade_and_teleport(0,0,0,5001,624,301) will drop you outside Frank's house.
