I finally figured it out: this error is due to the Fixpack not being installed prior to this mod.
Sorry for the noise.

*double post*

I ran my tests, here come the results.

_PS:T vanilla, both English and French version, both WINE 1.6 and WINE 1.7:
The cutscene play as you enter the Lower Ward for the first time with Morte in your team, Morte gets kidnapped as he should.

_PS:T + FixPack 4.13, both English and French version, both WINE 1.6 and WINE 1.7:
When you enter the Lower Ward for the first time with Morte in your team, the interface is greyed out as usual, but the merchant never comes and the game is stuck at this point.
If you enter the Lower Ward for the first time without Morte in your team, the cuscene doesn't play (obviously) and so the game won't get stuck, but if you come back later with Morte the kidnapping won't happen.

Tests with the FixPack have been done with no other mod installed, and nothing gets logged in torment.err nor torment.log when you "force quit" the game while it is stuck through Alt+F4.

Please tell me if you need any additional information.

Hi!

I'm bringing back this thread because I've been experiencing the exact same bug while playing PST (GOG.com French version) on Linux through WINE 1.6, with FixPack 4.13 installed.
As already said, it can be avoided by not having Morte in the party the first time you enter the Lower Ward, but the kidnapping event won't trigger when you come back with Morte in your party.

I'm going to run some tests with different WINE versions, with French and English version of the game, and with and without the FixPack to see if I can spot what is triggering this bug. It might take some time as I'll need to go through Pharod's quest multiple times, but I think it shouldn't take too long with a stealth-oriented TNO.

Should I find anything that might help indentify what is triggering this bug, I'll come back to report it here.
