So I rolled with Kar'niss to get to Moonrise Towers, then he clumb up the side of the tower, cya!
Later, I clicked the red door inside leading to the rooftop. I got frowny-faced by the locals. I clicked it again, now I'm getting in deep, at this point they probably didn't want to sell me a McRibb. Now I was irritated.
I decided to keep clicking it until they attacked, or at least gave me a go to prison option. Click, frowny-face. Click, boom, on the roof!
I made it through. For the fun of it, I tried to solo the roof. I had clicked separated down below, so no companions were companionating.
Lo and behold, success! Not counting Kethric of course.
Got Kar'niss' moonlantern and left.
Now I had 3 moonlanterns. This, the one from Balthazar's room, and the Shadow Lantern, which now provides moonlantern protection, thanks Patch 8!
But Kar'niss' no longer had a pixie whining in it to save and get the protection buff.
On examination, according to the "Examine Lantern" spell thing that appears when you hold it:
Balthazar's: Dead pixie inside. This is illogical because it's a proper moonlantern, not a broken one.
Shadow Lantern: Dead pixie inside. This is logical because we made it with a dead pixie, and it's the shadow lantern, with different properties.
Kar'niss's: No such examine lantern power. I even checked the list of powers from 'i' key, all tabs. It does appear for characters holding the other two.
Did I find a path the famed failsafe devs didn't consider? I'd at least expect the Examine power to appear, even if it gave some technobabble as to why the Pixie was done with me. Also, a dead pixie seems wrong for Balthazar's, that's a lame excuse to not have a secondary one to free. If you don't want that, come up with a better technobabble than contradicting your own lore!
Anyway, I'm not gonna cry as I now have 3 people carrying bright Moonlanterns, and I put Light on myself, so we're running like a supernova through the Shadowlands.
