ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've searched the forums and seen a couple of similar messages, but no solution. In the "Trapped!" quest, when I enter the level with the Merchant, there is no Assassin Lord to speak to. The merchant is there, and 3 guards. I can kill them off (and a few others that appear) but cannot get stairs out. Recall fails too, so it seems I am truly Trapped! Do I have to start over?

Thanks!!!

It is better to move on with another character my friend.

There's a way of enabling cheat mode to force teleport yourself out. Still a serious bug though.... why doesn't Recall work in there?

Thanks for the feedback.
Is there any way I can avoid this issue in my next game? Is this a b34 issue? I was able to do this one in earlier betas...

One more dumb question - I know how to enable cheat mode, but don't know any commands. How can I teleport out? Is there a command reference somewhere?

Thanks!

Once you have activated cheat mode, go to the keybindings, and assign a key to the cheat menu (I'm not quite sure what the binding is named; you don't want the debug console). I use Ctrl+A, since it's what it was in previous versions. Hit that, and there should be an option to move you to another zone. I think.

can you list how to activate the cheat mode in B34? thankx

Bumping this bug. I just ran into it in b38.

Playing a Shalore Archmage. The assassin lord didn't spawn, just the merchant and three of his buddies.

I'll keep the save file around for now.

<Bump>
