V1.1.17 multiple staffs from Lady Strom

[mikelrysk]

So, went and found caravan, went back to talk with her and rest, started back up today and found the loot she wanted back, went to go talk to her and the prompts go through as if I never talked to her before and I get the staff, then the prompt shows that we went back and found the loot, and I get another staff.

Yup, just came on the forum to report this and was beaten :-)
It seems there are two dialogue options after you come back with the important papers, both of which give the same info and staff

Interesting, having a hard time seeing how this is possible, but I will try it out and see if I can reproduce and fix.

Did you find the caravan and the hidden chest in one go, or did you go out and do it in two steps?

I can't reproduce this here ... any help on how you got the situation would be really useful! Thanks, will keep the issue open for a bit longer.

Unfortunately I didn't think to screenshot the options available from Mariah but this is what I did to get the problem

1) Go to Merchant Mariah Strom, accept the quest
2) Go out west gate, find the caravan (Optionally return to Mariah and she says she really wanted the documents)
3) Go down the muddy caves and find the documents in the chest.
4) Take the documents back to Mariah. You should see two new dialogue options that were something slightly like this:
- We found your documents
- There were some documents we found

Selecting the first gives you the appropriate dialogue from Mariah + the staff as reward. However the second dialog option still remains and chatting to her the second time repeats the original dialog AND gives you a 2nd staff as reward.

This was in v 1.1.17

It must be the "2) Go out west gate, find the caravan (Optionally return to Mariah and she says she really wanted the documents)"

I will test more in that area. Also, perhaps I fixed this for 1.1.19. In the meantime, enjoy the extra staff you lucky buggers! I wonder if you noticed that upon equipping it, you gain +40 SP max? We still have some work to make magical weapons display properly (ahhh small phones!)

[slayernz]

Woah I didn't know the 40sp! Can the cleric use the second staff? :-)

I too have just acquired a pair of staves.
I found the caravan, but due to injuries returned to the inn to rest rather than explore further. After resting I reported in that I had found the caravan but nothing else and was paid 500 gold.
I then returned to complete my exploration of the caves and found the goods from the caravan.
I returned to town and spoke to Lady Strom again, at which point I was given two options:
1) We have found the caravan and the goods;
2) We explored further and found the goods.
Choosing the second (accurate) option first resulted in me getting the staff.
The first option then remained in the dialogue for the store so I selected it and the resulting conversation seemed to be what you should get if you had found both before returning. My pay was increased to 600 gold and I got another staff.

I hope this helps.

PS slayernz - yes, the cleric can use the spare staff!

Just checked, I forced a close immediately after the conversation and when I reloaded I had just arrived in back in town. I tried choosing the 1st option first, I got 600 gold and a staff, the second option remained (albeit now as option 1) and choosing it gave me another staff.

I presume the key is reporting back before finding the goods.

@drdave - thanks for the extra details, that's a great run down on how it happened and I will fix this bug. Enjoy the extra staves!

[fallen]

Fixed!
