but I did review my own scripts and I wasn't able to find one of the codes, so I'll go back through it and play test it again.

Like I said, I did go back through all the codes and I must apologize. Seems when I redid the weidu'ing code to make the original areas "weidu'ified", I forgot to add in the creature for one of the areas. Sorry, and I did redo it for the upcoming build.

If you are playing the game version 148, anytime you're in the government building---
ONLY IN THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING WHERE YOU CAN FIND BYLANNA!!!!---- use your console and create the creature "CBCWLWRY". That's the one that you'll need to talk with for the quest. If you've done the planer sphere quests and you talk to him, you'll get the quest. If anyone hasn't done the sphere quests yet, you can still talk with him- but the quest won't 'activate' until you do the sphere.

"Miranda" as part of CtB is not part of the Unsanctioned Magical use quest.

If you're looking for CtB's Miranda, try a popular hangout for NPCs.

If you're looking for a trollop, you're going to have to search Athkatla very very "well".

[Blitz]

No longer "Guest." Finally registered.

Anyways...

Checked Copper Coronet...still...can't find...


No problem, though. I'll keep looking.

[Blitz]

Hmmm...maybe in the sewers under the CC? Doesn't appear to be in the CC.

Maybe I should re-check all those other innes...again.

Dang it, CBisson, your sadistic!

Must...find...

[Blitz]

I must be overlooking something...has anyone any suggestions for where to look?

I've checked all innes...roamed the districts at night and day...and nothing.

CB, you've got me stumped. :bash:

[Blitz]

Where the heck is she?!

I checked all inns, went to trademeet and checked the "well" (heh) and searched about every building in Athkatla.

Is there something REALLY obvious i'm overlooking?!

[CBisson]

From the CtB Website:

#  Melynda

    * Melynda can be found in the Copper Coronet.  However, the folks that you have to talk with in order to help her are much more elusive.  As of version 145, there is only a "good" version of this quest.  I had intended to make it a good or evil quest, but never did.  Perhaps some day I will.

If you're looking for her because some Cowls told you to, you're taking the "evil" path and will *never* find her. If you're looking for a mage because *A* Cowl told you to, then you're going to have to look much more "well" than you have and perhaps even look "down" to your feet as you walk around Athkatla.

[Blitz]

Started new game (wasn't that far), and found Melynda again. She needs something to write on...and she points to the bar.

But there isn't anything near the bar, or in the CC that she can write on (she refuses to write on scrolls. *cough* spoiled *cough*).

Is this what you meant by finding the two people that can help her? Will I have to find someone with some paper?

Or did I screw up again and break another quest?

I won't answer that question.

Nope. You didn't screw up.

[radish_hoedown]

maybe a person *near* the bar has some?

[Blitz]

Bernard has none, Lethtinen is his usual grumpy, worthless self...i'll keep looking. Maybe i'm missing someone. I hope I didn't break this quest like I did in my last game...

[CBisson]

Maybe i'm missing someone.

Sure seems like it.

GOOD LORD, I'M AN IDIOT! STUPID! STUPID!

I simply traveled, like any good citizen, to-<spoiler deleted>. I can't believe I never just tried to go out and <spoiler deleted>

You've humbled me, CB. You've also made me feel like a complete moronic fool.


Edited by Blitzerland to prevent giving away the quest. Sorry! Hope that didn't ruin anyone's experience before I remembered the spoiler and edi-nerfed it.

Well, Ceebio, I completed the quest. Nice ending might I add, it was completly unexpected, and well-worth it.

I also enjoyed your Close to Home quest...a true battle, as they say. I also made a fortune from the armor I picked off the ground

I do have a minor bug you might want to be aware of: after Valiant rewards you, you are unable to talk to him (I.E. he has nothing to say to you), and subsequently, unable to purchase from him.

Thanks for the (so far) two excellent quests!

This board is henceforth rid of me now that I know my game wasn't buggered and I completed the quest.

Well, almost. Once more question: what is the difference between Masterworks items and normal versions of items? Is it just a brand name?

Chao!

Thank you. I will look into it.

Yeah. It's the Icewind Dale II Incorporated brand name (shhhhh).

[Blitz]

Oh, and just to be an annoying little weasel, I may have found another bug. Lavok is dead, Planar sphere quests are complete, but no "Unsanctioned Use of Magical Energy" quest begins.

Oh, and I tried CLUAing in that one guy discussed at the beginning of this thread (wasn't that v148 though?), and discovered he was only that one...uh..."odd" cowl i'd already met. Still couldn't get the quest.

I have v150.

Do I have to complete all the mage stronghold quests, too? I just did the "main" kill-Lavok-escape-sphere quest. Or is this a heiniously evil, still-unfixed from V148, spleen-punching bug??

All of the super-class quests require the player to either have a stronghold or near to completion of the original stronghold quests. In thecase of the planer sphere stronghold quests, if memory serves, it becomes "active" upon surviving the ambush.
