ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hello,
This is my first playthough of the game past level 10 (I unlocked the necromancer by setting a variable to true in a config file, I don't know if that caused the problem) and I got the quest storming the city, so I went to... Derth ??? anyways, I started fighting the elementals and I took one as a minion with that spell that, if it brings the minion low enough it makes it your pet, after I cleared the area nothing happened, I checked the wiki and a villager is supposed to come and tell me to go and do stuff, but nothing happens, I cast the spell again to release the pet and went to the map and back again , and again no villager.
I don't know if the whole pet thing broke the quest , or if I did something wrong, is this a known issue? did I do something that I shouldn't have done?

I'm not sure of the details, but Husking seems to break a lot of "kill them to advance" requirements.

Oh so I guess I should start over? damn, and I was doing so well.
Oh well, halfling necromancer it is then

Storming the city quest chain is not mandatory. Pretty much all you're missing is one dungeon level with a boss.

It can also break Melinda's quest if you husk one of the guys overseeing the sacrifice.

Good thing you can't Husk bosses, then. That could get... messy.

Dominant will used to have a ton of bugs like this, but eventually got sorted out. Might want t look at what its code does to ensure that charmed mobs still count as "killed."

AFAIK, death hook triggers for husks if you kill them yourself afterwards.
