After entering Baldur's Gate, some man at the entrance told me about his lost family, so I went go make him whole again. Slaughtered some orcs at the field of the dead, recovered some weird runestone (which I identified), saved some man and two children in the orc stockade, and was told they also had a quarrel with another order of shadow.

I then moved to the wood of the dead, found the tomb quickly after a clairvoyance, killed all the orcs reasonably easily, but now the tomb won't budge? I put the runestone on the altar, on the ground, in my inventory, I tried to eat the runestone.

It just won't open, and the area seems cleared now, what am I missing here? :/

I am stuck as well. From the "walkthrough" you also need the Hand of Helm or Helm Holy Symbol. I can't for the life of me find a "Guardian Stone" from the Field of the Dead. I think it is one of the two Dwarven Runestones but I don't know where to put them.

Double check the readme that comes with the NTotSC package. I think the required artifacts are listed there. It should take the "Rusted Dagger" and the "Ring from the Grave" as I recall.

OK,

I think we are mixing up two quests: Tomb of the Orc Chieftain and Druid Circle.

- Tomb of the Orc Chieftain (Field of the Dead) requires the Dagger and Ring as mentioned in the readme for the mod.

- Druid Circle (Wood of the Dead) is not mentioned in the readme. It is mentioned in a walkthrough. The walkthrough states that the Holy Symbol of Helm and a "Guardian Stone" are needed. It states that the stone is found in a chest in the Field of the Dead. I'm not certain which item this is or where you put the two of them.

OK again,

Did some more digging and the walkthrough in the 171 folder says that the two sets of items are reversed. I might have finished the Tomb quest, as I have been down the stairs and seen the square masoleum and the antechamber to the south. So now, where do I find Haeball? I do not see an entrance to the tower on the Larswood map. Is he someplace different?

FYI... I'd still like to find/fix it so Haeball shows up the next time through, but if you have the right items in your inventory, the ? turns to stairs and you can enter.

Thanks,
Homer

Haeball is in the tower of Larswood map but if you have the Aurora Shoes mod installed, it corrupts the area and destroys the entrance. It reads in the area file but the area is too corrupt. CLUA to AR9001.
