Yeh, I think I've solved most Rivertown and Verdistis Quests, except for The Brooch and Shrimpo. I did clear Iona's Dungeon already and I retrieved the branch from the Dark Forest Tree.
Edit: Right. I removed the shroud.x2 from the Dynamic-folder and the world.x2 from the savegame folder. When I loaded the savegame, the shroud has returned, entirely covering everything. So that's ok I guess, don't think much else has happened.
Went to the Meeting Hall, killed the Succubus but again, there were no Crystal Balls.
That seems to be the big problem, no crystal balls, and thus no Bronthion, no evil persons on the Elven Burial Grounds, no stolen Axe...
I don't think I killed any of the Council Members...
