ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Took Milanda to beach (think thats her name).

So, enemies are not attacking and it wont let me leave the area. I have dug up all the trees, wrecked the umbrella with a quake spell, tried to use swallow on the lunchbox, tried giving gems to her, tried putting her to sleep (no, i'm innocent, really...), tried taking off clothes and going into water even using a belt that makes me not have to breathe, ran all over the place, auto-searched, eventually used swallow to eat Melinda herself, tried many other things. nothing happens. yeah i ctrlaltdel after eating her i was just nothing else to do. So my game is stuck.

Other times some passives kill people I try not to kill. I turn off any sustains that can kill, but somehow, I still kill. slaughtered the defenders of Derth, killed the enthralled slaves I tried to save, killed the merchant, killed the one that Z was attacking (actually thought they were both my enemies but still), so I can't get into the tunnel. There are at least two that look like they do this. One spreads poison, but I did not get that because of this issue because I am already stuck with, its a 4rth slot magic passive I think is doing it. Might be some others. Maybe these should be sustainables.

For all sustainables that can kill people we should not kill, a setting to auto-not-use them when such targets would get involved would fix this.

So then I have to use ctrlaltdel or just leave them dead, which is stupid because dumb stuff happens and the only way out is to crash it. A way to exit game without saving would help.

Swallow the lunchbox hahahaha. I can fix this if you open a ticket and send me your save - http://tome.gatheringspot.org/hesk/

Try the rod of recall. That worked for me. I haven't checked if it breaks the quest though.

what file is the game file?

--

yeah I did the rod finally though I didn't want to mess the quest. when I went to the house after, I asked to see her and then the only thing it let me say is that I am still waiting for an explanation of what happened on the beach, and that is the end of the conversation. i dont know how much it wrecks it but i dont get to kill the enemies have whatever happen. Techically the rod should give some text saying "you will be abandoning Melinda!" or something.

Also, the cause of this goes back to a passive ability killing people that I do not want to. in order to save her, my powers were about to kill her, and that has happened too often (happened in the dungeon I rescued her from too) so i did ctrlaltdel, which is annoying, and so i reloaded the save and it should have let me try again like with merchant and some others I killed, but these enemies never showed again.

Maybe I will start over and be more careful what abilities I get, but I played some characters that died permadeaths and i lost interest in playing the game the same part of the game over and over so I made a powerful character. I had to do that in infinite dungeon also because I was lev 2 and then a 36 or so boss stalked me and I couldnt escape and then a lev 45 boss cheater on the next level. I cant go from fighting lev 2 opponents to lev 45. either the high ones kill me or I have to make a character so powerful I walk through the others like they are not there. Game needs some adjusting?

Try talking to your friend in the Shertul fortress, he may have an answer as to what happened on the beach.
