Ok, the thread with this problem and my solution on it was lost, but since it can happen again to anyone, I'm reposting the points...

Note: The problem was introduced by Mason
-------------------------------------------------------------

Problem:
In one of the paladin stronghold quests, where you have to protect the only survivor of a wealthy family and hand her over to her uncle - the uncle never turns up!!!!
I've already done this quest previously in another game and either the fake or the real uncle turns up a short while after you take out the assasins. But this time I can leave the game running for hours real time and nothing happens - I can even leave the house for a stroll, rest in a tavern, return to the house and she is still there!! aaghhhh. I can't start the quest again because I automatically saved it after I killed the assasins, and I don't want to give up because I can't get the pride of the legion armour or paladin stronghold!

The reason of the problem after we found out that spawning the uncle won't help:
I still can't complete the quest.
It appears the real problem is Tyrianna. I've been doing my research and apparently the bug is caused by talking to Tyrianna after you kill the assassins, returning down stairs and going upstairs again before she comes downsatirs, preventing the quest from continuing.

This means even though I can create the uncle, he tells me to tell Tyrianna that he is here. However when I speak to her she says the same thing she said earlier "Go down stairs and make sure there is no more of them" (or something like that)- referring to the assassins from earlier.

The solution:
Ok, RELOAD the screwed game. The one where you killed the assassins - but don't use the one where you forced uncle to appear from console.

Go to the room that is AR0415 (below, where the cat is) and put this in Console:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("PaladinGirlDead","GLOBAL",0)
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("PaladinGirlSpawn","GLOBAL",2)

Then wait for 5 seconds... She should appear.

If she doesn't appear, force her with:
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("PLGIRL01")

But don't type this command unless you waited for at least 5 seconds! Plus, if you force her to appear, she won't start talking to you automatically - you have to initiate dialog then.

You mean, she doesn't go upstairs or her uncle doesn't appear?

Details man, I can't read your thoughts.

/me swears and burns some voodoo dolls

I can't know which one you were supposed to meet.
So pause the game, then use these four commands:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("PaladinGirlDead","GLOBAL",0)
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("HurgisRealSpawn","GLOBAL",0)
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("HurgisFakeSpawn","GLOBAL",0)
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("PaladinGirlSpawn","GLOBAL",3)

Unpause and wait for 2 seconds - uncle should appear.

Man, where are you from? :rolleyes:

Give us some feedback here.

Like: is it working or not.

Someone will surely have the same problem in the future and will like to know if it can be solved and how.

Ok sorry i didnt reply sooner im at a conferance and have been logging on between meetings,
Ok the solution works but the global for spawning the paladin girl is 2, the evil uncle Will appear, but the good one wont, but not to worry because if you go to report the incident you will be told that it all worked out.
Thanks for your help extrimist, sorry for being so poor for explaining

Evil or good uncle (in fact real uncle or imposter) appear randomly and which one will come is decided inside dialogs with the girl. Randomly! You can't affect that.

That dice is never bugged, and it is 50:50 chance to get real or fake.
