I have played DiD up to the point where I have all five pieces of the broken sword, killed off Ratnest's guards, but then I can't find any more information on what to do.
I have tried talking to Harold, gone back to the hag, tried to talk to the smith byy the taros river, etc. nothing.

In checking this board, I noticed a thread discussing fighting Ratsnest in the guardian chamber, so I decided to go there as I needed to finish the PoG storyline anyway.

Killed off the guardian, no ratsnest or missing princess.
Jumped down the hole to return the shield on the toe of the foot but can't do it.
The game wont let me put the shield on the toe.

My last save is just prior to entering the guardian chamber.

Any ideas or suggestions anyone?

Hi Christopher Herrick. Welcome to the PoG board. When in doubt, check your quest scroll. (Open your inventory, select it, and click on use.) It should tell you that you have to find Loogor and get the pieces of the sword re-forged together. If you returned to the Hag after getting all five pieces, she would have told you that. If you haven't gone back to see her, you must do so. She will tell you where to find Loogor. There will be a quest or two before you are ready to confront Ratznest. Good luck with your game. ~RD

Hmmm. Something seems amiss. I had three of the pieces of the sword when I first went to see the Hag. Rescued the princess from the cave as she directed.
Delivered the princess home and went back to see the hag/joyanna. She then told me about the smith Looger and about the sword. She mentioned the pommel stone and its approx. location.

I found it , went to Troll Central and talked to Jimmy again and got into the trapdoored storage room and got the final piece of the sword. Went back to see joyanna and she wont talk to me at all.

So then I Went up to see the smith looger by the taros bridge. He just gives me the dialogue you set for him to say to someone after the first visit has taken place, something like nice to see you good luck etc.

Please note that this is the second time I have played the game up to this point.
The same thing has happened now twice in a row. Frustrating as heck cause I
really like your work on this plug-in. I want to play it through to completion.

I have repeatedly checked my quest scroll like you indicated I should: It now states that I should pay Ratsnets ransom as the second item on the scroll.
The first item is about the hag telling me to find the sword pieces which I have in
my possesion. I even tried in the second game go around to write the dialogue
from the dialogue boxes into my journal when I got the pommel stone and the
sword handle from the storage room as the quest scroll for your plug indicated I should do.

Hope this all makes sense to you now and you can give me some suggestions on what I may be missing or not understanding.

There is one possibility concerning Joyanna's silence. A friendly NPC will not talk to you if there are hostile creatures nearby. If there's a Cyclops or Azarath on the other side of the stream, she may be clamming up if they are too close. This is not a bug in the plugin, but rather just the way PoG works. Try going back to her again and clearing away any creatures which are in the area on either side of the water before you jump over to see her. If this doesn't work, I would like to look at your game file. Would you be able to email it to me?

I bow down to your superior wisdom. I used the awareness skill to check that I got rid of all the monsters on all the areas of the screen and jumped over. Joyanna opened right up and told me all I had to do.

Thanks so much for your help . I feel like a bit of an idiot for wasting your time with such a simple problem and for that I appologize most humbly.

If I haven't said so before, I really am enjoying your plug-in, the humour as well as the challenge of the quests.

No appology is needed. I have had that happen to me too. And thank you for the kind words. I can only hope the enjoyment carries through to the end.

I finished the plug-in. Yes, the enjoyment carried through to the end.

Now I get some time to decide if the devil is forge or Soviet Mikee!
