Stuck in the blackness of "Elven Ruins"

[Nerdanel]

After returning from my first visit to Bree and heading back towards Amon S?l, I saw a dungeon entrance appear on the map a few squares southeast of Amon S?l's. Curious, I entered, thinking I had unlocked a new dungeon. I ended up in something called "Elven Ruins" (as I found out later) and the place was completely dark and not even the @ was visible. I couldn't use my talents and "moving" didn't appear to have any effect. I could save and exit though. On loading the save, the effect was repeated. I could not leave the dungeon.

A curious thing was that the game was apparently half-stuck in an eternal loop of some sort. Even when I wasn't doing anything or pressing any keys, the game was busy advancing the time and printing messages about it on the console. Here is a small but representative excerpt:

Code: Select all

[LOG]   Today is the 5th Lair?« of the 123th year of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth.
[LOG]   The time is 00:00.
[LOG]   Today is the 6th Lair?« of the 123th year of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth.
[LOG]   The time is 00:00.
[LOG]   Today is the 7th Lair?« of the 123th year of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth.
[LOG]   The time is 00:00.
[LOG]   Today is the 8th Lair?« of the 123th year of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth.
[LOG]   The time is 00:00.

this is because in mummy.lua they are given a talent "technique/2hweapon" when it should be either "technique/2hweapon-offense" or "technique/2hweapon-cripple"

this causes that level to be unplayable until you correct it in there (found in game/modules/tome/data/general/npcs if I remember correctly)

once you edit it there, go to ~/tengine4/tome/saves/your_save and delete the elven ruins teaz file and it should work fine. (not sure if you have to do this step or no)
