    I just completed SoA solo with my sorcerer and thought I would give ToB a try. But when I start off at the grove of the ancients, I can't talk to any of the heads. no matter how many times I click on them, no matter what I do, nothing happens. Does anyone know any console command to force the event to start or am I just being silly and forgetting something?

    last time i played, that was what happened after I talked to them, then illasera or whatever her name is showed up. I am just gonna have to keep trying i guess. or kill irenicus again. not that that's too much hassle, but it is an annoyance.

    IIRC, when you first show up in the grove, you have to wait a minute or 2 for a message to talk to the heads. If you didn't get that, wait. If you did, try reloading from a previous save or the autosave and talk to the heads again.

    Is that the message "check your inventory and spells" or something like that? because I have gotten that.

    I just checked and this is what happened to me:

    - Loaded a character and started ToB.
    - Game auto saves
    - This message appears on the screen:
    - Click on a head and get a big long message about Alaundo's prophecy
    - Another auto save
    - This message appears:
    - You get a minute or 2 to cast buffs and equip things before fighting Illseara the Quick. You'll get teleported to another part of the map to fight her and her goons.

    I just get the message:
    "The Spirits of the Forest await. Check through your possessions and spells. Once you are prepared for whatever may come, click on one of the stone heads to speak to the gods."

    Then when I try to click on the heads, nothing happens. I don't even get the usual "You are too far away to use that".

    I have now even reloaded from before the hell trials and replayed the whole thing, but nothing seems to work. Isn't there a way to skip it or something like that? It would be VERY annoying to have to replay the whole game.
