So I really never did the grove stuff. I broke the raid and traded with the merchants. I recruited Wyl and rescued Sazza and thats it. I wanted stuff in the goblin camp so I went there and bought my gear then poisoned them. I rescued Halsin and agreed to let him help. Then I camped and when I came back I forgot about him. Apparently he just stood there in human form in his prison area. I killed all the goblin leaders and returned to the grove and even had the party and romance. I then went on to complete most of the above ground content. At 4th level I realized I hadn't been told to go to the underdark yet. I looked for Halsin and found him hanging about in his prison area. I spoke with him and he said he'd meet me in the grove but he never showed. I went back and he was still standing in his area. I repeated the conversation and this time he left the area and was never heard from again.
I have rested dozens of times and searched the entire Grove. Initially Kagha was waiting by the ritual site as if she were with Halsin but I spoke with her and later she was standing on the cliff above the site. I found her letter while searching for Halsin so when I spoke to her again she gave me the speech related to that.
The quest has not advanced past meet Halsin in the grove. He isn't there or anywhere. I tried killing Nettie and I stole the wolf rune from Rath to open that area. After I killed Nettie he attacked and I killed him. No other hostilities.
I finally just searched the underdark. I never did get any guidance. I failed every skill check in the place so I had to kill basically everyone except the robots. The cleric never appeared either. I only found 2 merchants in the UD and both were in the mushroom guys' area and were hostile. No extra magic missile damage of helm of blasting for me. I made a greatsword and since the only enemy left was the kua-toa and the spectator (the poor hook horrors and minotaurs all got pushed off giant mushrooms and the bulette is easy to kill) I took the raft.
I even failed the check with the duergar on the raft so I had to fight them there. Easy enough fight. I did get the bug where one of your guys gets killed and ends up back in camp while the fight continues. I won the fight and my active party were all in the ending cut scenes so IDK if they self-rezed or are even with me.
Anyway I'd appreciate knowing any tricks that might get Halsin to re-appear. I'm not sure you could really go on to act 2 without him.
