ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I'm at the beach with Melinda, everything was going smoothly, until my computer suddenly shut down (probably unseen update). When I come back, the Yaechs won't show up. I also can't leave the beach, and the only way out is to kill her myself. Is there any way to trigger the dialog again?

this just happens for some reason when load the game at the beach before the yaechs show up for some reason; I don't know how to help ya man
