I'm not sure what triggers it (yet)... I ran into it in my last run of the prototype mod, and that's when the official version came out.

The steps (as I recall them):

1. Talk to LG in Harmondale, accept the Coding Wizard quest

2. At some point, when you come into Harmondale, LG shows up to greet you and tell you where the next step is on the way to the quest.

3. Follow the steps as given to you by the NPCs along the way. Eat all your apples before talking to the Duchess of Deyja.

4. Once you've talked to her, go to the entrance to the Gauntlet in Harmondale.

To make sure I'm not as stupid as I might be, are you getting past step 2?

BTW, there is an "always run" setting in MM7... my characters have it turned on! Check in Settings within the game... I forget if BDJ activated it or it was always there.
