Sirmage Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hi,I am doing the DB quests and am having a really fun time but I have sort of run into a brick wall. I became the finger of Lucien Lachance and a few missions in I killed a necromancer called Caldean (sp). It said to go to Chorrol for the dead drop orders that are apparently in a bush under the great oak tree. Well, I've looked there and they are definitely not there. Its really annoying because now I can't progress further within the brotherhood. Do any of you guys have any ideas as to why this is or how to fix it?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 AFAIK the orders are in a bag. It should update once the necromancer is dead. Assuming he wasn't just ko'd there is no reported bug about this quest so perhaps you haven't seen the bag yet. It's in the area outside the guilds. If you are sure there is a problem you can advance the quest by using the setstage command. There are two possibilities as follows:- setstage Dark10SpecialWizard 30 gets 'Celedaen is dead. I must pick up my reward and next contract at the dead drop located in an old sack hidden in the bushes beneath the Great Oak, in the city of Chorrol. ' setstage Dark10SpecialWizard 100 gets I have picked up my reward and received my next contract. However I do not know whether the second one will actually deliver the next contract or not. Save, try it and see. If the problem is that you did not get the update when you killed the necromancer, perhaps he was not dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirmage Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thanks a lot Malchik, I've been trying to get this to work for ages but I did kill the necromancer and I got the journal update but the bag was just not there (anywhere near the oak tree, I mean), wierd, huh. Thanks for the advice though :D EDIT: I tried the first setstage you gave me and nothing happened (I think because I had already done that stage of the quest)I then tried the other setstage and it came up with a message saying I had got the orders but they weren't transferred to my inventory :( ) Do you have the setstage for the next part of the DB quest ie. what the orders would have told me, or will that not work? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 It will be something like 'setstage Dark11 Kin 10'. You can play around with he numbers (which usually go up in 10s but not always) or go into the construction set to find out. TES, Data Files Oblivion, World, Quests, Dark11 and scroll down.

Vagrant0 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Do you have natural environments or any mods that happen to make the trees larger? It might cause the bag to be covered over by the enlarged tree. One of the reasons why I stopped using that mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have natural vegetation and natural habitats installed- does that constitiute natural environmnets if so could I just turn them off and check or will it break my game?

And you'll only have to turn off natural vegetation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirmage Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Thanks for the reply,I turned off natural vegetation and although the tree did appear a lot smaller (in width) I still couldn't find the bag: It is under the bushes right? It will be something like 'setstage Dark11 Kin 10'. You can play around with he numbers (which usually go up in 10s but not always) or go into the construction set to find out. TES, Data Files Oblivion, World, Quests, Dark11 and scroll down. I opened up the construction set but couldn't find the quest section, coul you give me a detailed guide as to how t get there. Yes I am a noob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Oops, I gave you the wrong info. Construction set, click data files and check Oblivion. Wait while it uploads. Then on the line across the top click 'character' (not world my error) and then in the box towards the bottom click quests. You need to know the editor ID of your quest (in this case Dark11 Kin) and click on it. Then go to the list of boxes to the right and click Quest Stages. It will be setstage Dark11 Kin 10. I cannot understand why the bag is missing unless you have it affected by a mod. You could try using the console command 'tcl' to find out if somehow the bag is under the ground. It shouldn't happen but occasionally items can disappear into the statics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sypron Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Simple solution: -Go to chorrol -Find the Great Oak -Type into the console "tt" -Trees dissapear. -Find Bag -Type "tt" again to get trees back. (This works on bushes too, but not plants or grass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
