3 questions from a newbie. . .

Remove all ads!

1. As far as I can tell, I've cleared out the moathouse (and I've checked the walkthrus to make sure I didn't miss anything), but the quest remains uncompleted in my log book. I returned to Terjon, who I think gave me the quest (my party is Neutral Good), but it doesn't pop up as a dialog option. Was it someone else who gave me the quest? Or am I missing something?

2. I created a halfling rogue/ranger who is now 2d level in each class. Two questions:
a - First, he has the the Two Weapons feat and uses a rapier in one hand and a short sword in the other. But he doesn't seem to get the bonus for using a light weapon in the off hand. Is this because he's a halfing, and so no weapon is "light" to him?
b - Second, I meant to make him an elf, not a halfling, but pressed the wrong button during character creation and didn't notice until it was too late. So I tried the character editor on the Sorceror's site, but that does not seem to make much of a difference -- it tells me he's now an elf, but he still runs at 20 not 30, etc. Is there some way I can really change him to an elf? I'm not familiar with hex editing, but I'm willing to try it if someone can give me some pointers. . . .

Thanks!

For what it's worth, along with all the other problems I've been having, the Moathouse Quest didn't complete for me either. And I checked the walkthroough as well.

 

1. You should be at least level 3 after clearing the moathouse. Did you check the cellars?

2a. I didn't know an halfling could wield an rapier one-handed. It's a medium weapon, he should only use it with two hands. And yes, a short sword is not a light weapon for a halfling. Look here: http://giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=1

2b. Don't know. Never used an editor.

 

1. Yeah, I'm sure I cleared it all out, including the cellars. And my Ego page in the log gives me credit for doing so. It's just the Quests page that says it's still unfinished. Oh well. I was just hoping for some extra EP.

2a. Darnit! Great cartoon, though.

2b. Thanks anyway. Anyone else know how to make my halfling grooooooow?

 

Did you kill the drow priest?

 

You don't have to kill the drow priest; you can accept his offer to surrender and in exchange for his life, he will offer to show you an “unguarded” passage into the Temple of Elemental Evil. If you accept his offer he will join your party. (note: Should you take Lareth into your party; the bumpkins in Hommlet, being daft racists, will attack your party).

Be sure search Lareth's dresser drawer to find his Diary; it will detail the location of Nulb, and so allow you to progress with the game.

*Edit* You must read the diary and not simply have it in your possession. To read the diary place it in one of your character’s inventories and then drag the Diary onto the “Use Item” button. Hope this helps.

Yeah, killed him, got the diary, read it. Still no luck! :-p

 

Yeah my Neutral Good party didn't get the dialogue from Burne either- after I read -not just had- the Diary too, and I'm also sure I killed everything for miles around the Moathouse!

 

Have you talked to Black Jay? He is the one that you need to talk to to complete that quest.

 

That depends on who gave the quest to you in the first place. The Moathouse quest has always been buggy, but the modders at Co8 appear to have finally gotten it straightened out. Download their newest mod.

One hint, though - IIRC, the quest can only be completed if the location of Nulb is unknown, so DON'T read Lareth's diary before you speak to the person who gave you the quest.
