Temporary Bug Thread - No, it apparently can't wait.

[Shax]

I really hate to do this, but I have to. I'm tired of losing points. I've done the task several times, and searched the entirety of the alley, including all of the shops. I cannot locate a merchant. I see no merchant. There is no merchant. -exasperation-Am I missing something here? Is the ingredient stocked in an actual shop? I just don't understand...
(Sorry, sorry, sorry...if you wish, the thread can be deleted once this is cleared up. I'm just immensely frustrated.)

ask kargoth task
You ask Kargoth, the Crafter about task.
Kargoth, the Crafter tells you of a famous travelling merchant that's come
across a special ingredient. Sending you off to Valtor Alley, Kargoth, the
Crafter instructs you to PURCHASE INGREDIENT every time you see a merchant
near that area selling that ingredient. He hands you a small pouch of gold
for you to purchase the ingredients with.

Large entrance hall
Passing through the great double doors of the Crafters' Guild, you have
entered an immense entrance hall, its roof vaulted high overhead and lit with
huge chandeliers. Massive buttressed columns inlaid with gilt mark out a
broad carpeted aisle through the middle of the hall, and the wealthy senior
members of the guild pass along this, completely ignoring the apprentices and
slaves who toil, heavily laden, along the dimly-lit outer reaches beyond the
columns.   You can progress northeast, southeast (an open door), southwest
(an open door) and northwest (an open door).

Before the Halls of the Crafters
You stand in an open area before a large granite building, its vaulted roof
towering far overhead, while the front wall of the building stretches away to
the northwest and southeast. Before you, a pair of enormous double doors
provide access to the interior of the building, while further to the
southeast a further gate can be seen that seems to provide access to a yard
of some form. Worked into the stone above the entranceway is a large gold
disc, worked so as to resemble a gold coin of Golgonath, right down to the
demon's head at its centre. To the southwest a further gate leads through a
low outer wall onto Valtor Alley. Hung on a nearby pole, a basket of flowers
sways slightly in the breeze, filling the area with a sweet scent. Firmly
planted in the ground, a large wooden pole stands tall here. You can progress
northeast (an open door), southeast, southwest and northwest (an open door).

Valtor Alley
To either side of Valtor Alley tall buildings tower above you, their upper
floors almost touching overhead. Along the alley in both directions this lack
of space is greatly reduced however, the northwestern route opening out as
Valtor Alley meets with another street, while to the southeast a large
building is visible to one side of the road, its front rising straight up
from the street without any trace of the overhang common to nearly every
other building along the alley. You can progress northeast, southeast,
southwest (an open door) and northwest.

Junction in Valtor Alley
As it continues to wind its way through Golgonath, Valtor Alley intersects
with another street here, seemingly even narrower than Valtor Alley itself,
the buildings to either side overhanging to such an extent that they all but
meet in the centre, turning this side alley into little more than a gloomy
tunnel. The main thoroughfare of Valtor Alley continues to the west and
southeast, twisting as it does so, blocking any chance you had of seeing what
lies ahead. You can progress north (an open door), northeast, southeast and

Weaver's store
Hanging on mannequins in this shop are clothes of the finest cut, fashioned
from both common materials such as wool and more exotic materials such as
silk, perhaps imported from some distant island by the merchants that ply the
oceans of Akanbar. The clothes themselves seem to cover a wide variety of
needs, from evening dresses for the women among the ruling classes of the
city to the black robes of the Pyromancers. In the rear of the shop a small
man sits on a stool, his fingers busily working at a new garment, whether for
general sale or to meet an order from a rich client you cannot tell. You can
progress south (an open door) and down (a closed door).

bearing the emblem of a hammer and anvil. From within comes the continuous
noise of metal ringing on metal as the smith inside labours to produce
sufficient arms for the forces of the city. Elsewhere, the alley continues to
the southwest and east, more shops visible along its length. There are two
guards of Golgonath here. A Pyromancer stands here, his face hidden by the
cowl of his black robe. You can progress east, southwest and northwest (an

Blacksmiths of Golgonath
This shop is considerably larger on the inside that it appeared from the alley
outside, its rear wall having been removed to give access to a wide yard
behind. Lining the walls of the shop are the various weapons needed to equip
the armies of Golgonath, great suits of black armour arranged in preparation
for a call from the blacksmith's master, while various blades line the other
wall, many carrying additional spikes along their length designed to cause a
more slow and painful death than a conventional sword could provide. A large
forge stands to one side. An anvil sits here. You can progress southeast (an
open door) and down (a closed door).

End of Valtor Alley
Valtor Alley terminates here at the entrance to the Victory Square, its
enclosed space standing in marked contrast to the openness of the square to
the southwest. To either side of the alley the various buildings have been
constructed close together, so that only a narrow strip of skylight is
visible overhead. Hanging from many of them are signs proclaiming various
goods for sale, marking this as the closest thing to a merchants district as
Golgonath has. You cannot see how many shops lie along it however, for the
alley soon twists away on a new course, passing out of your field of vision.
You can progress northeast and southwest (an open gate).

The twisting form of Valtor Alley is suddenly interrupted here by a building
that seems surprisingly out of place amongst the narrow shops that flank it.
Rearing above you, this structure has been constructed out of solid obsidian,
statues of demons flanking the entranceway, and you can only assume that this
grandeur must mark a government building of some form. The doors stand open
however, seeming almost to invite you in, something you cannot help but feel
wary of. You can progress northeast (an open door), southeast, southwest (an

As you arrive at Valtor Alley, a nearby consumer excitedly tells you about a

Smoke filled shop
This small shop is dominated by a large cauldron, that bubbles away in the
centre of the floor, the multi-coloured smoke coming from it a sure sign that
these are the premises of an alchemist. Chained to the cauldron is a wretched
looking man, clad only in rags who stirs the glowing contents of the cauldron
continuously, only pausing to let out a wracking cough, perhaps an indication
that prolonged exposure to these fumes is not in the interest of one's
health, and perhaps the reason that the alchemist himself delegates the
stirring to a slave. Lining the walls of the shop are glass cabinets, each
one filled with small bottles, their multi-hued contents standing out against
the dark wood, from potions as black as night to others that glow with a
strange inner fire. You can progress northeast (an open door) and down (a

Golgonath Trading Centre
In contrast with the outside of the building, the inside of this structure is
small and cramped, the ceiling so low that you would be wary of standing
erect lest you hit your head on it. It is almost as though the designer had
felt a need to impress those that pass by, while having little regard for
those that actually worked here. Stacked around the walls are crates and
sacks of various size, containing the various raw materials for sale here and
each marked with the seal of the Master of Golgonath. Situated near some of
these crates is a wooden table, a small wiry man sat behind it conducting the
business of the trading centre, several assistants standing nearby to carry
any goods sold to waiting carts outside. It is only on closer inspection of
them that you notice chains around their ankles however, suggesting that they
are not working here willingly. There are thirteen mercenary guards here. You

Between the assorted buildings that line the alley, you cannot help but notice
what appears to be a shop of some kind squashed between two houses on the
southwest side of the street, its windows covered in a thick layer of dust
that makes it all but impossible to see inside. The alley itself stretches
away to the northwest and southeast, a particularly large building visible

Small store
This tiny shop is filled with all manner of items, from tin cups to
tinderboxes, its goods stacked in haphazard piles on both shelves and the
floor, many stacked up to block the windows in the northeastern wall,
although given the thick layer of dirt coating the glass you doubt that
moving these items would provide any more light. The rest of the shop seems
to be no cleaner than the windows, the layers of undisturbed dust suggesting
that the owner of this shop does not receive many customers. In one corner of
the room a narrow spiral staircase leads to a wooden door high in the western
wall, while a further door to the northeast provides access to Valtor Alley.

weapons, while some raw ore has been set on a table near a whetstone, small
slivers of metal embedded into the floor beneath it. An iron-reinforced door

i shored it... but somehow it still caved? I know I got into the mine room a little late cause I was running my telepathic mouth, but still... I didn't think it would crash once it was shored.

Jaethor Note: Not a bug

[Dimetrius]

It looks like it was your entrance that collapsed, which destroys all further rooms.

Or was that still there when you were done being dead?

I didn't check. that is possible though. didn't know that the entrance collapsing killed the whole mine, but it makes sense. I usually don't stay in mines that long but I was running my mouth so... just need to remember to shore the entrance so it last longer than a day. so I guess this isn't a bug after all. :/
thanks though!

Pretty sure the following is a bug, since my memory has this never being able to happen. Could certainly be wrong! In brief, August started using the intonation shield and Mordikhan stopped attacking. Included where it was hitting me, switched targets to him.

Bug - It has been confirmed to me that Shadow Gating is now possible in the presence of a Warden. It 'used' to be possible back when I was a Forsaken to shadow slip away from a Warden as well. However, after a very short time (less than a week) this was fixed, as well as the Shadow Gating. So, I beg the question, Is Shadow Gating being returned so that one can now escape with that? Or, is this a bug.

I'd Also request a Divine speak to me about my post that directly relates to this Bug which is posted in the Guild Forum.

Jaethor Note: Fixed

Random oddities while watching people gate and fly:

Your shadow watches: August intones the words 'Procul eo ire Itum', he
conjures a shimmering gateway in the air before him.

Your shadow watches: A shimmering gateway opens before you, Black Widow Shax,
Angel of Ruin suddenly appearing through it.

-

Your shadow watches: An ice dragon beats its mighty wings as it launches
itself toward the skies.

Your shadow watches: An ice dragon flies into view carrying Black Widow Shax,
Angel of Ruin.

I've seen heretics, skeletons, even those weird acid things from Blood Island.

[Pyrok]

That's not a bug. Shax was able to do the impossible and tamed (read: beat into submission) an ice dragon.

When more than one tree is cut in a location, the kindling changes. Each time you cut a tree, it swaps to how many you got from that tree, instead of stacking on what's already there.

here. A piece of kindling lies here. There are three pear trees here. You can
progress northwest (an open gate).
