Greetings! My first computer game was Wizardry I. It's still my favorite game of all time. I also finished II, III, V, and VII. I played, but did not finish IV, and for some strange reason did not play VIII. But, on to the questions. I'm having trouble completing two quests. The toad quest is driving me crazy...is there someone or something I need to do first? I climb the ladder and the toads will not talk to me. If I approach they fight.

Even more frustrating is Scabban. So far, I've completed the crypt part, gotten the signet ring, talked to Scabban and let him live, and talked to him and then killed him. I still get no credit for the quest. Am I screwed 'cause I spoke to him once before I initiated the quest? Any help will be appreciated.

Regarding Scabben, I am not sure. I got on the quest, then went down and found and killed him. When I returned, both characters that were on the quest got credit upon returning to the guild (and after selecting them each, in turn, as the active character).

*minor spoiler*

As for the Toads, there is a priest quest you need to complete first, then the toads will warm up to you, warm-skin

Well, over the weekend I "restarted" the whole adventure. I got back to Scabban, spoke with him, and was on my way out to see if this would complete the quest when my computer locked up. So, I need to go back and see him again (with a few more save games included). If my mages get credit for the quest then my theory that you need to implement the quest prior to speaking with him will be proven...probably. Regarding the toad quest, I think I've also found the answer. I had not met the toad guy down around Nymph Lake prior to going to the toad village. Simply saying Uktabi (or whatever) without first meeting the toad at Nymph Lake will not work. Hopefully, the restart will help me accomplish both quests. Between Diablo 2, Everquest, Crimson Skies, and WW, I have a lot of work to do this winter!

Ok...last nite I completed the Scabban quest, which means that my theory was correct. In order to complete the quest you must initiate it prior to speaking to Scabban the first time. This is a pretty serious bug in my opinion. I also completed the toad quest, which proves my other theory that you must actually meet Mekada (or whatever the toad guy's name is). You cannot simply go to the village and say Uktabi (or whatever). So, onward and upward.

Others have reported not doing it in that order, and that the actual trigger to completing the quest is entering his lab. Thus it can be started and completed even after you kill him.

Well, it didn't work that way for me, but that's certainly the way it should work. I was in his lab at least three times. However, he was only in it once...the other times he was down the hole in the water. I actually had to re-start the game to finish the quest. Wierd.
