Wow, what was that. How did you manage to kill both beholders. My beholders just died, cos the green one farted and the orange one died on the spot.

I ended up killing them off with a wand of fireballs

Hehe nope, I would hope not. However, it definitely IS an SMM bug

That is definately NOT a Bonehill bug.

Hey guys I figured out what the problem was.  I looked up the area in NI and found that you needed the key item "key10.itm".  Funny thing is, is I KNOW I picked up a key from some dudes when I was fighting on the outside part of Bone Hill, but after searching my inventory, it was nowhere to be found.  I just CLUA'd it in and I had access no problem.  Not sure why the key disappeared though... must've dropped it somewhere without realizing it.

Hey guys,

I'm just doing the Restenford quests and I'm the castle at Bone Hill. I cleared out all the guys on the first level, headed up the stairs to the second, and I can't seem to find my way into the middle rooms after clearing out the perimeter. All the doors are weirdly sealed (can't open with lockpick or anything) and I can't seem to detect any secret doors with my thief. After reading BigMoshi's readthrough, it seems I SHOULD be able to get in here somewhere. I've posted a screenshot to show how I can't get in to the middle rooms. Not sure if this is a bug or what, so I posted it here.

Please post your area file as well as your WeiDU log. should be BH1xxx.are or something like that. You should be able to open most of the doors.

That is really weird. Can you post me the saved game? Thanks!

UPDATE: Hey Daelric, I just installed a clean copy using the autoinstaller last night, and tried both the scroll & the spell. Can't seem to get the problem yet. I used the scroll "scrl63" and Vicky's level 5 raise dead spell. I CTRL+Y killed dynaheir and a few other npcs. Then used the spell on them but it works fine for me at the moment.

Alrighty I have an update too... forget about the weird Petrification crap. I used Shadowkeeper to give Viccy the Raise Dead spell and the slot, and for some reason that must have messed up the game. Is it possible that Shadowkeeper for whatever reason might not be compatible with an SMM game?

I loaded up my savegame and did the same thing as you... I CLUA'd in some scrl63, and they still didn't work. Put 'em in the Quickslot and when I click on them, the casting icon is greyed out over the dead person's portrait, but not over their inventory... but when i click on the inventory, nothing happens after the spell completes.

In GOOD news though, instead of Shadowkeeper'ing Viccy some bonus spells, I CLUA'd her XP to 1,000,000 to get her high enough level to cast Raise Dead, and doing it that way WORKS as it's supposed to. Just really sucks that it appears the only way I can bring back dead chars before Viccy can cast is to go to a temple.

Daelric

Hmm... that didn't work for me, BigMoshi. It still didn't bring Dynaheir back. What's more, to I used Shadowkeeper to give Viccy some more scrolls to see what's up, and I found out something rather interesting. With the scrolls in the quickslot, this last time when I tried to bring back the dead person, the casting icon was greyed out when held over the dead character's portrait. I was only able to attempt the raising by clicking on the dead character's inventory lying on the ground... Viccy cast the spell after clicking here, but the character was still dead.

Another disturbing thing? After this, I decided to try something out quick... I used Shadowkeeper the give Viconia a couple memorizable slots of level 5 spells, added Raise Dead to her spell repertoire, and tried to raise Dynaheir that way... still didn't work! What's weird though, is that it actually brought Dynaheir back to life with 1 hp, but she was petrified! What's up with that?

Daelric

Hey! First time I ever used the scroll haha.

Anyway, I realised that the scroll doesn't work if you are too far away from the place that he died.
Try to stand beside the spot the person died and cast that spell. Or cast the spell on the items that the NPC dropped when he/she died. Does it make sense?

Cheers
