    [​IMG] Im currently playing through SoA using the Unfinished Business mod, during the "kidnapped boo" quest, after i have spoken to the pet shop owner who has sold Boo he is supposed to teleport my party to the Government district. However while casting the spell he always says "oops wrong spell" (i have tried this a few times) and teleports me to the Druid Grove near Trademeet. When there my party is immediately assaulted by 3 trolls who cannot be killed. They get to the nearly dead stage and do not collapse to be finished with acid or fire. Even when firing several flame arrows at a nearly dead troll they will not be killed. Has anyone had experience with this? Is there a way to be correctly teleported to the Government district as i do not wish to complete the Trademeet quests yet or a way kill these damn annoying Trolls? Thanks :)

    Edit : Ooops i forgot to post this in the correct board. :doh:

    Have you tried stopping hitting them? Trolls' scripts can be disrupted by repeated hits, so when you're sure you've got their HP gone, leave them alone and wait for them to fall down (move on to the next one). When they do fall down, then you can hit them with Fire or Acid as usual.

    Yep ive tried all the usual stuff like leaving them alone or running away once theyre down to nearly dead but the things just wont fall! Ive been looking on the net and alot of people seem to just be transported straight to the Government district and the only mods i am using are banter pack and Kelsey so i dont think that should affect the quest. :confused:

    The unkillable trolls are a known bug with the latest version of this quest. The shopkeeper has also changed to always send you to the Druid Grove (an extremely stupid change) rather than the Govt District; and the rewards from the quest have been changed in a bizarre fashion: you get better rewards for giving worse answers to the riddles.

    In short: avoid the current version of this quest. It's a complete mess. (A pity, because it was perfect as it was, and needed no further "improvement" from its maker.)

    Really, I have the old version with no bugs and smooth play, it does not really give me much headache and it is a fun little quest. I like it the way it is now.

    Invisibility andrunning away would probably work. No shame in running when the battle cannot be won :)
