ZeusIV

went there and loitered for a good long while

didn't get any message (which isn't surprising, i've already spoken to her)

ran in and out again

loitered a long while after

SNAFU

i'm stuck there too

went in the portal

set the 3 scrolls

went to the top of the hill

some magic

meteors falling from the sky and elementals all over the place

ran like hell out of there

fermi won't talk to me when i get out

tried going back in and am at the top of the hill

clicking on the guy there starts the meteors falling 

run like hell out but fermi still doesn't talk to me

the 4 guys in there all died right at the end of the path

do i have to get them out alive to complete the quest?

i clicked on the door and it requested the key

gave it the key

the door is now unlocked

click the door again to go into the unlocked door as many times as you like 

it pretty much does work like that

there are a few bugs where you can't find the main so have to search for an alt to find them and there are a few which seem to be orphans but in a lot of those cases the player did a name change so that is a bit understandable

 

If someone is nasty one one character then do you really want to be friends with them on the nice character? I find it pretty false behaviour.

i agree

there should always be a way of finding all the alts of a character for this reason
