The Possessed Child quest does not always spawn a daedroth and it is never the goal of the quest to kill the daedroth.

I found the problem. I tried to spoke to the priest and the quest give but not the guardian. Then this one is solved. What about the problem that I can not get that quest? Does it have some requiements?

Open a Chest requires a pawn shop in the same city you're in, so I'd assume that's the reason the quest is failing.

But there is a pawn shop in the town.

Which region and city are you in?

Issue with Open a Chest (N0B00Y16) is that it currently needs 2x local pawn shops in same town. Here's the breakdown.

First, quest Person logic assigns a pawn shop for the merchant's automatic home based on the resource parameters.

Code: Select all

Person _merchant_ face 87 group Pawnbroker female local
// Internerally the above line generates an automatic Place resource like below
Place _merchant_home_ local pawnshop

Then quest logic tries to find a pawn shop to set the quest, which it can't do because the Person resource now owns the local pawn shop.

Code: Select all

Place _shop_ local pawnshop

The breaking change here is the one making the Pawnbroker local in Match quest NPCs location scopes and genders to classic

The easiest fix is to just make the merchant's group something other than Pawnbroker, or make the Pawnbroker not local as it was before.

The merchant doesn't really need to be local in this case anyway because the quest specifically moves them there.

Code: Select all

place npc _merchant_ at _shop_ 

I've pushed a fix for this and quest now compiles and plays OK in a town with just one pawn shop.

Thanks for the fix!
