    [​IMG] Did I miss something in the host tower? I got all the way to the top but can't get the last door open. Is there something besides Maugrim's journal in his lair? I hope I didn't miss a key on the way up cause YOU CANT GO BACK DOWN FROM THE ROOF(grr)!

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I think you use the stone of recall to get down off the roof. If you don't have it anymore ther is a dead body with a stone of recall on them on the roof.

    I had the same problem. Apparently, the gates were supposed to open automatically. I think the way to solve this to reload a previous save where you have not conversed with the trapped wizard. Go through it again and check your journal when it is updated to see if it updated properly. If it did, you're all set. If not, then you're bound to be stuck with the same bug.

    There is a workaround though, but try reloading a previous save first.

    The gates didn't open for me either until I shot an arrow at one of the Lizard people and then they opened and a lot of Lizard people were attacking me.

    Yeah. I think you have the attack those lizard people doing some prayer ritual. Don't worry about the other 3 characters (Aribeth & company), I dont think they'll get hurt. Takes a bit for them to respond. I just cast an ice storm and that made them hostile.

    Well, I just did that, and I just watched them talk for a while,and eventually Morag I think it was noticed we were there, told Maugrim and Aribeth to run away and open the gates setting all the lizard men upon me.

    Hmmm... I couldn't open the gates, so I went into that little room hoping to find the key or something. Unsuccessful, I went back on the roof to find the gates open and Aribeth gone.

    It's supposed to happen like Wildfire's instance. Me, I casted Summon Lightning which had no effect on any of them. Exasperated, I 'debugged' and teleported right in the middle of them, immediately triggering the Morag response. The three of them suddenly disappeared and I the gates opened, leaving me to fight those lizard-men.

    My journal has an entry that says:
    Error: journal entry not written (main_jp25)

    I think this is preventing me from finishing the host tower quest. Does anyone know if the patch fixes this or if I can use the debugger to cheat my way past it?

    Gaidal is right, the blank journal entry is what causes this problem. I don't know if the latest patch solves it, as it doesn't say that it does specifically, but I'd recommend you get it anyway, if only for the other stuff it fixes.

    To get round this, you can try Rhythm's method of using the console to go into debug mode and teleporting in the middle of the lizardmen, or you can try uing the solution I posted here: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000620.html .

    I also had the blank journal entry, but it didn't cause any problems for me.

    First of all, speaking to the trapped wizard does not cause this bug, you have to talk to him to even get to the rooftop. I did have the blank journal entry, but it caused no problems. I simply walked up to the game, Morag, Maugrim, and Aribeth had their conversation, then the gates opened.

    I did have a graphics bug at first, wherein the screen was unable to center on my character, so it was constantly jumping around, but I reloaded and it worked fine.
