Help with pine woods (SPOILERS)

[Jadefang]

In the pine woods, I heard the merchant calling out, but had no rope, so I went back to town to restock and then came back.

When I use a rope though, I really have no idea what's supposed to happen. I know that the rope's doing something because it actually consumes it rather than give a Not Here! message, but I have no idea what it's exactly doing. From some other posts I read, you're supposed to find a hidden cave/pit, but I have no idea where exactly on the map it's located.

Did you try a concentrated search?

Hmmm... rope should NOT do anything on that map: if its consumed its a bug. I'll check it.

been there yesterday and my rope wasn't consumed in the process of climbing down

[Shiningted]

Did you get the floatline about getting it back? Or any floatlines?

[Zero]

yeah something like "falling damage" :doh: but nothing about retrieving it

[Shiningted]

Ok, I looked at the script and it seems sound but I can test that easily enough :)

Concentrated Search is supposed to find it? I tried a lot around the area where I heard him, but didn't find anything (although granted, I did sort of forget where I last exactly saw his dialogue pop up).

You may have to bring the whole party near. You shouldn't, and I don't know why you would, and i know that contradicts what it says about using the Concentrated Search at the beginning (about all party members searching the area where the initiator is, automatically) but I tested what you described and I didn't get a 'found' result til I brought all the party members over and the highest one was in range. Which sorta makes sense :)

O and I fixed the 'rope getting consumed' thing in the latest patch.
