stuck in stout mines

[Frazlo]

Help, perhaps a better subject would be "not stuck in the stout mines." I've been in and out of the mines several times, and this last time I tried to get in the guard said he was both "letting me out now" and "starting the shaft for me." My computer loaded twice and I wasn't able to get into the mines. Anyone else have this problem? Without the dragon armor I don't think I can get into the dragon spire....

Thanks

Welcome to the board, Frazlo!!

Yes, this problem has happened to others as well and it isn't good. Try reloading your game and see if you don't get the glitch the next time.
If all that fails, do let me know - I can help.

Wyvern, it didn't work. I think I need to reload back to before I went to sturgeon anyway since I "accidentally" killed the guy with the assassin dagger.

Thanks,
Frazlo

Hiya Frazlo and Welcome to the Forum!
Just wanted to let you know if you get the mine thing worked out, Wyvern can help you with the Assassin's Dagger you will want for the quest to become one.
Was your mine problem related to "not having a writ" after the game loaded the second time? Sometimes the guy gives it back to someone other than the character who gave it to him.

You might try this:

This has happened to me, too - as soon as you give the guard the Writ step back two paces and let him finish speaking. It may cycle twice but giving him some room has worked for several folks.

If you have two writs go outside of the current sector (such as to Shurugeon Castle or just inside Dragon Spire), drop all the writs except one, then go back to the Stout Mines and retry the entry following the instructions above (not moving until he gives you the writ back).

An other option is to position yourself to run run outside right after you give him the writ to get out. Once the game finishes to load, you should have a 1-2 second delay before it loads again. Run outside during that time and you won't be stuck in. If you're fast, you can always cast a Call of home during the time gap (but you have to be REALLY fast.

Hope this helps.
