Host Tower Dialogue Bug (?)

    [​IMG] I am facing a huge problem on the top level (Pinnacle level)of the Lusckan Host Tower and I was just wondering if someone could help me. I have a lvl 16 wiz.

    As those of you know who have progressed that far into the game, the Pinnacle level of the tower features a host of those Lizard minions surrounding Aribeth, Maugrim, and Morag. This entire group is isolated from the player character by a gate and fence.

    Now this is where my problem lies - I had a look at a game walk-through and apparently Aribeth, Maugrim, and Morag are supposed to engage in a discussion over the "Words of Power" and then they teleport away as they see you and then the Lizard minions attack. Well, in my game no one speaks at all! No dialogue is engaged by any NPCs at all, and apparently there is no key needed to pass the surrounding gate.

    So essentially I am trapped in this section of the game - I cant progress in the game any further because the NPCs wont speak to each other. Is there a special key needed to open the gates or perhaps a special item? Must I do something particular in Maugrim's lair? Or am I just facing a nasty bug?

    I have the latest patch, and I have loaded my previous saved games but to no avail - the game will not progess when I come to the host tower pinnacle gate. I have even polymorphed into a red dragon so I could bypass the gate! But when I went to speak to Aribeth, Maugrim, and Morag the game says "Object appears to be busy"! What is the deal?!

    Someone plz help me? Or must I start again and pray that it doesnt happen?

    I had the same problem. All I did was shoot one of the lizardmen with an arrow and the gates open and they attacked me. If you don't have a bow try using an attack spell on them or something.

    Thanx for the advice... but that doesnt seem to work either. In fact I have utterly destroyed all of the Lizard things before with the use of a couple of spells and stll the gates would not open! I guess I really am up shit creek without a paddle...

    A somewhat lengthy solution, but it might work:

    [​IMG] Thanx a lot for your reply Wildfire. Although I did not solve this problematic issue, I was able to circumvent it.

    I merely saved my character and restarted the 2nd chapter with all of my host tower teleport wards. While this was kinda time consuming, I scored a Wail of Banshee and a Wierd scroll/s in the process. When I made it to the host tower and teleported to the top in this new restarted game, the proper dialogue sequence occurred (thank God).

    Ta-ta.
