Stuck on Main Quest - Can't get dialogue going

When working on the quest I triggered the next step - step 3 : Insight and step 2 : optional.

I began working on both parts, doing step 2 optional while waiting for chance to catch the spectres, but not getting to all of the npc's.

I then worked on the part of the quest where I help the Priestess finishing the part where I kill the spectres of corruption, my cleric hammer pet did the killling but I did get a message that I had done 1/4 - 4/4. It was after this that I got to the last npc I needed for the previous side quest.

I went back to the seeker, she summoned the elemental, I killed it... but now she won't trigger for the next step. I went back and killed spectres by hand, but no change. Any suggestions? Could the fact I did them out of order break it for me?

I need to trigger the next step where I find out about Kaezul and what he looks like. Tried going to the npc in the sewers of Freeport but he won't trigger anything either.

I have really enjoyed the quest and hope to get back on track with it soon.
 
A friend has the same problem.
The SoS woman also already turned into Seeker (she gives only side-quest for him), but Kril won't talk to him and the Priestess Adrenia only says: "I sense the corruption wandering away, but there is still much to do." or something like that. She never says:"You have learned the corruption of Badlands".

:?
 
I'm stuck after the 2nd part. She gives me the text to continue the path, but when I repeat the text back to her, she doesn't respond. She also doesn't give the alternate option for the side quest. My husband got the continue my path part, so I'm wondering if there is a level restriction. I'm level 17 and he's 22. But he did not get the side option either.
 
Any official reply?

I think I've tried pretty much everything I could, even killing the spectres 3 more times..
Also talked to Seeker Tresaria and Kril (Tresaria would only give me a side quest). They wouldn't give me any further info on how to continue the quest.
 
Any official reply now? :)

I believe it can be annoying for clerics, who need the Erimal symbol for their Lifeward ;)
 
still no response.

Any suggestions from anyone else?

Can't get npc to give next section of quest... old npc's done with dialogue.. all seems ok.. 'cept can't trigger to go to next step.

Anyway to backtrack and begin before last section?
 
I thought that it was level restricted (and there might be some still), but she didn't talk to me about the optional quest until I had the Gemstone of Insight from the main Part 3 quest. Once I had the gemstones she gave the text for the optional quest on both my characters, one was level 34 and the other 35. This probably doesn't help Xykscyr, but I don't recall you mentioning your level.

You said the "old npc dialog was done", which I assume is Priestess Andrenia in North Badlands? And you got the experience for her portion of the quest?
 
Can't remember if I got the exp for finishing off the part with the Priestess in NBL, but the Priestess did finish her dialogue with me after I killed the shadow guys (got credit for 4/4) and saved her from the mean gnomes. I then finished the last npc chat to wrap up the optional stuff from the last major section and when I got to the Seeker she summoned an elemental for me to kill. I did so.. then she clammed up and never got to talking to me about the next major step, finding out more about Kaezul by going to see the guy in Freeport. The guy in Freeport won't respond to me either.

I really have enjoyed this quest, and want to take my Lawful Good Dark Elf to the next step in the grand adventure.

We needed to hail her once right after killing the gnomes, then went back to her after she popped in the tower to get the exp and complete her part. She took a few minutes to repop in the tower.
 
Yes, I did get the exp from her at the tower after she went back after finishing off the gnomes, but that was a good suggestion to people to be aware of.. I just don't remember the first few things the seeker said/did after I went back since I was just assuming it was all ok and I followed the dialogue to the elemental killing episode.

Is there any way to restart this quest, say at the point I received my last stone the - Gemstone of History -? I would rather redo extensive parts of the quest than not be able to go forward at all.
 
gonna try again to chat with the Priestess and the Seeker.. see if either will respond... would it do any good to petition while ingame? :(
 
The /petition function exists for a reason. Do not OOC asking if GMs are around. Ever. Petition your problem with all relevant info. A poorly written petition is one that requires more work on both the petitioner's and the GM's part.

Do NOT petition the following:

1. Quest bugs. GMs cannot solve these problems with the tools we have. These should be posted -- again, with relevant information -- in the Quest forum.
2. Bugs. GMs cannot magically fix a droprate or make the paladin initiates not agro the guards. This is stuff for admins and devs. It needs to be buglisted. The exception is where you need help from a GM in a direct way because of a bug (such as losing an item to an inventory bug).
2b. NPC Spawning issues. Do not petition that NPC X isn't spawning. If you truly feel it is a BUG, then BUGLIST it.
3. Name changes. We cannot change names upon request.
3b. Name nerfs need to be in a concise fashion. /petition the charname and why you feel it should be changed. Doing so out of spite or with a lame reason will get you jailed.
4. Character account moves. We have suspended this feature for the time being.
5. Jokes. You might think it's cute to petition a hur hur funny joke, but it's not. Most times it's just annoying.
6a. Direct tells to a GM. You cannot OOC for a GM, so it follows that you cannot directly send them a tell. Replying to a GM, is, of course, allowed.
6b. Direct tells to a GM on their non-GM character. If you ever EVER send me a tell about a petition on my player character, I will log on my GM and jail you for a day. I'm serious. (this includes real life)

Petition should be used for things like "I'm stuck below the world in zonename" or "I used a 90% rez on my corpse but no debt was removed" or "I lost my Giant Crown of Kings and it said 'could not find item in slot 22 deleting item." These are things GMs can fix. Petition should also be used for guild-creation. However, GMs cannot form guilds; only admins can, and they are not around doing clerk-work as often as GMs. Be patient on guild creation and have your 10 people ready when you do petition, but do not be discouraged if an admin is not around.

That should help.
 
Just getting very frustrated... posted here on Mon Feb 27, 2006 3:17 pm... and have not heard anything to help.... one of the things I have most enjoyed about SOD is the questing... it's sad to be stuck in the Main Quest and not able to go further... actually posted in the main quest feedback quest about this on Fri Feb 17, 2006 1:13 am...
 
Dumb question but did you try just handing her your old gem? I got no dialogue from her until I did that, and she didn't ask for it.
 
yep.. she handed it back.. didn't want.. ;(

Been a couple months.. maybe it was a bug that has been fixed.. gonna try again in the morning... *crosses her fingers*
 
i'm actually having this problem on one of my characters. i "think" it has to do with you actually killing the shadows. they only have 1hp so it's not really a prob
