I have some quests that I am stuck on / things I can't figure out, that have changed since original vanilla status in 5.6.1; I hope someone could help me find out how to solve it. 1. Black jays sheep... someone is killing them, originally you find a hemlock near them, take it to jaroo who says it is poison, and then ambush the guy at night... I could not find anything there, I waited in 1 hour increments for a whole day, including going in and out of buildings, no luck 2. there is a rusted dagger in the ravine in emerdy meadows, what is that all about? 3. I remember there being a way to turn in the merchants who are spies for the temple AFTER accepting their bribe to keep silent, I can't find it... (I just lied to get a magic item from them...) 4. welkwood bog... supposedly a psudeo-lich and his undead... I say supposedly because I can't find them, I combed the area and the only thing I found was a child, and two adults (one of them an orc I think) who spoke oddly and then disappeared... mentioned something about the night... i tried sleeping outside several times, I just get random encounters (nice place for random encounters though)
I wouldn't worry too much about the sheep; that and the labor camp scenario will probably revert to vanilla in the next release. Still, for your current game: 1. You have to talk to a badger. If you've already met one, he'll point you to Corl right off the bat, but if you haven't, you'll have to talk to him twice to get info on Corl. Then you go talk to Corl and go from there. 2. No idea ... it might have been left behind somehow. I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything though (no quest hook, etc.) 3. Don't remember either. 4. There's nothing at Welkwood Bog yet. The maps are basically a placeholder for a mod that had been planned. Interesting you saw the trio there though - no one's mentioned that yet.
Thanks for your help. 1. I talked to them before starting this quest, I didn't think they will have new info... 2. to clarify the rusted dagger is floating in the middle of the canyon and is unreachable by any characters... so it looks like a magic floating rusted dagger. 4. thanks for letting me know. I'll just pretend it isn't there then.
My personal feeling is that Emridy Meadows should have lots of rusted and ruined gear lying around. And someone at the village willing to polish it up and make it usable, for a fair price
