DH / Hommlet quests

I have a Neutral Evil party and I am wondering why I am having trouble with some quests.

I can't find Sunom's tenants upstairs day or night. The logbook shows the quest as activated.

Corl just stands there after I catch him in Jay's yard. My only dialog choice is to send him home. Is killing him the only way to complete the quest? It seems that there should be some way to uncover his motives.

I followed the DH walkthrough and caught the courier who simply says I should barter with Gremag and Davl. I have no other real dialog options to "strong-arm" him. But, if I kill him for no reason, the party reputation is something like "Purveyor of Justice".

I have no dialog options with Fruella - day or night - except for her "what do you want?" Is there someone else I have to talk to first so she will lighten up?

Thanks for the help.

 

Does the person you have initiating dialogue have the appropriate ranks in social skills, and a decent charisma modifier?

 

My front man has +6 Diplomacy. He almost always does the talking.

Map cache?? I don't use Front End. Do you mean the map1-int10-weaver-upstairs folder? There are 22 MOB files - delete all of those?

Thanks for the help.

 

Try using FrontEnd

 

No ideas about Corl, the courier, or Fruella? Strange that she's the marrying kind if there's a dude cohabitating with her.

I deleted the MOB files in the aforementioned folder. You said "Go up one level" but there are just other folders, which you said not to delete.

As for Sunom, I passed time until evening downstairs, checked upstairs - nobody. Then I killed her family to see if the tenants would come down and join the fray - nope.

 

OK. All seems well with Fruella now - just waiting for the right time to tame that shrew.

I also deleted the correct files this time but Sunom still has no tenants. The quest has definitely been activated and I checked out the place early evening and before midnight. Is there some requirement I need to meet first? Should they not be there during the daytime?

Also, I approached Corl (hemlock) and Rocutio (Trader's messenger) with my +5 Intimidate Sorceror. What kind of conversation should they have with me.

Thanks to any who assist.

 

I should also have said that I also approached them with my +7 Diplomacy Cleric - No diff.

Could the problem I have finding the tenants have something to do with the fact that I am using 5.0.5 without Front-end?

 

Let me double-check something: you said to clear the strange named files in modules / Co8 5.0.0 / maps; shouldn't it be those in modules / TOEE / maps because I am not using Front-end?

There aren't any strange files in that Co8 / maps folder, only in the TOEE one. I think this may be the source of my earlier misunderstanding with you.

Since the TOEE maps folder gets refilled with those files after I delete them, I think I am deleting the correct ones. Or am I not? Do tell, oh wise one.

 

Limited Success!! I moved all the MOB files from Map 10 (Weaver's) from Co8 to TOEE. I found one small red dude upstairs doing summersaults. No real dialog options. Killed him. Took a light crossbow. Went downstairs and nobody mentioned my reward.

Were the above details of the encounter correct? What do I do now?

Also, the group subdued Corl outside Jay's place, took his stuff and went to his house that night and the following morning. Corl denies everything and his father wants proof. His son's armor and the hemlock isn't good enough I guess.

May I ask if Corl is part of a larger conspiracy? Yes or No is fine (hints welcome too). I just hate wild goose chases, which is what I am afraid it is.

Thanks.

 

That one is, unfortunately. The Corl line seemed like it was destined for something more, but it does fizzle where you're at.

Maybe the project to ramp up Hommlet will finish up the Corl line
