ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

This seems to be a recurring bug with my game now. Every time I save Melinda, I go talk to her and go through the dialogue to the point where she asks about moving. After that nothing ever changes. No one else ever has anything to say and the dialogue never progresses. I only got to the point where ...

If you're talking about the Sher'tul butler, he doesn't have anything to say about it. I'm not at that point in the quest yet.

I think you're misunderstanding the problem. I've gotten through the conversation to the point where she says she's thinking about what to do next. I have the option of suggesting Derth or Angolwen as places she could go. Either answer just has her say "Thanks!" The conversation never move...

I rescued Melinda and talked to her until she says she wants to move somewhere. Derth and Angolwen are options but no one in either place says anything about her and nothing changes when I continue talking to her. Is there a trigger missing somewhere?
