All right, I beat the game normally. Now I have ToB and want to create a party with 3 of my people, and leave 3 slots open for NPCs. I do this. But now, in Irenicus' dungeon, I've noticed two things have changed:

1)There's no Mail of the Dead on the dead Duegar. I can live with this. What I cannot live with is 2) The sewage Golem will not let me initiate dialogue, so even though I have the stone, he will not open the doors for me and I can not progress. Is this a problem with ToB, my attempt to multiplayer with 3 of my characters, something else, or a combination of the above?

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what do you suggest?

If you're playing your custom characters in MP, I suggest moving the saves from your mpsave to you save folder. MP mode has longer load times and more bugs, plus there's no reason to even be there if it's just you playing all the chars.

If you are in SP, disregard the above and try pick pocketing the sewage golem - I don't know what you get (maybe a key, but it's a script that opens the doors, so I don't know..) or if it will even work, but I've heard it suggested before when somebody had this problem.

If you just got and installed TOB, and are running a win2k/xp OS you will get the error "npc Appears Busy" when trying to converse with some npc's some of the time. You need to DL and install the latest patch for TOB.
