Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks prisoners in hunters edge wont come out

the prisoners in hunters edge wont come out til it's safe. i have killed the guards. i have killed all (or most of the orcs in town, including Grutilda)... who/what do i have to kill so they will come out of the prison?

There's a secret entrance out of the basement, which also needs to be cleared. That's the way they're supposed to escape I bet.
But even after I cleared that route, the prisoners wouldn't leave, still complaining about it not being safe.
I gave up at some point and consider it to be bugged.

I do not believe you can complete this easily after you start the racial war.

I completed this by murdering the human guards, then opening the secret door - but the first time I was here there were no guards to murder as I'd spoken to the human leader at the time.

So yeah, I think it's one of those "order matters" and I'm sure the only way to complete it is to murder the human guards up top assuming they haven't already run away (even if the war has begun).

I am sure he's talking about the prisoners being held in the basement of the Jahrl's house.

thanks for the replies.. i took care of any remaining orcs. wizard's house had already been cleared. i found the button in the cobwebs and finished any remaining requests from nolan.. all is good..

oops. prisoners, not fugitives lol
