Modified Rannos & Gremag scenario, part 1

ok sorry to raise this thread again but ive a question about the new traders plot. now i havnt been actually playing the game in sometime but i just downloaded the new stuff the other day and decided to try it all again. well now im not sure how to trigger the target of revenge. i uncover the agent in the keep and got a 100 gp from the traders to keep my mouth shut then got the short sword for confronting them about the courier. went off adventuring and finally killed of lareth. came back and sold the necklace to trigger the assassin ( i still hate that the only way to trigger that is selling the traders lareths gear). i go tell burne about them and they will no longer talk to me. i get hit by the assassin beat him and go back to talk to the traders about him. they still dont want to talk to me, ok no big deal im use to that. i attack Rammos and start the fight. he calls the guards and the badger shows up to break up the fight. before he gets there though i kill gremeg and the man at arms. i leave and come back in the place is empty. i come back later and Rammos is there with 2 thugs. he tells them to attack me. i end up killing all three cause Rammos wont run away he stays untill the end. so how can the target of revenge be activated if he wont leave?

 

I'd like to suggest the encounter being restored to an earlier stage if no one is going to fix it. It's been abandoned twice now. There was a lot of discussion, and all for naught seemingly. It's kinda goofy for it to be broken.

 

i wouldnt mind the changes if at least one of them would run away during the second fight or if when they left the first time it triggered the revenge plot before they came back

 

My advice is to add dialogue options letting players finish the quests
for killing off Lareth, revealing the spy and attacking them for being bad
guys...

 

Hi again. It looks like I won't be able to finish it after all, so it'll have to be taken out of the game, unless someone wants to continue work on it.

 

This is sad news...:tears:

 

Thanks for sharing this Shadow. I couldn't figure out why the traders no longer fled, as I wanted to trigger the ToR.

"The thuggy peril was no more. The quest for the golden orb, could continue."

EDIT: There may be a bug in my version. If I leave, wait an hour, and return with Rannos (fat one) alive, he keeps attacking and doesn't flee. In fact, he locks the game by not completing his actions. If I repeat above with Gremag (skinny one) alive, he flees normally.

 

Fixing the KOS issue is a good start. As for the rest of it, Those two need to make a break for it once their HP get to 50% or less. I dunno how it is now, but they would happily slay any weaker than themselves, and run away if losing any fight. Before combat, they would try to lie, intimidate, etc. to avoid conflict...or at the very least, turn it to some advantage for themselves. Henchmen, etc. are expendable.

 

Just played through the encounter in CMF 5.04. Far too easy to kill the pair of them now - one turned invisible and stood there until I beat him down while the other just picked up AoOs until dead.

Not sure what's going on in the script but perhaps there's something not firing that should be?

[edit: doh! fix not in CMF! Ignore the post of an idiot. This is what comes from having so little time on teh internet aper: ]

 

Will do. Gaear in CMF bug reporting said that I might have old files. Frontend reports 5.04 so will check files across.

edit:

have just rerun an attack on them and then checked files. I definitely have the CMF 5.04 py files installed and have deleted the .pyc files just in case before running the encounter.

What I did was just attacked them with a low level party that hadn't finished clearing the moathouse or taken Spugnoir's quests.

The "we must run" floating line triggers and one of them turns invisible but nothing else happens.

Will reinstall in a little bit as it might be a dodgy install (has happened to me before when
testing something for Blue). But not really sure what is happening without going through scripts to find out whether or not I haven't got a game.state or something similar active for the script to function properly. Scripts were compiling, so that would be my bet.

But time to play the reinstall game.
