I am at the point where I have returned from the Hall of Echoes to the Lady Vengeance. My quest log says "The Lady Vengeance seems to be empty. I should look for signs of others."
Malady and Gareth are on the bottom deck of the ship. According to the IGN Walkthrough, Malady is supposed to talk to me, but she behaves like she is still in battle, saying "Just You Wait" and swinging her weapon around. She completely ignores me.
I read on another forum that casting a spell on her will help, but it does not. When I cast a spell on her, it sends me into a combat with a Silent Watcher, a Silent Monk, and a Weaponized Monk that appear to still be back on Dallis' ship. I guess the game wants me to go fight them, but I can't. They are in an unreachable area.
I tried sending my characters up to the top deck of the Lady, but all that does is break them out of combat. I sent my whole party up there and it booted them all from the combat. But when I returned back to the bottom deck, Malady and Gareth continue to ignore me and behave like they did before, as if they were in combat.
Is there any way to progress out of this stuck state? Any help would be appreciated.
