need a specific CLUA affect achieved (not covered yet)

I have played through the part where you get ambushed by thugs and you need to take a guy Renfeld to Rylock to start the series of harper's quests... i think pretty much everyone knows what i'm talking about... however I think I ran away when the thugs attacked and therefore did not get Renfeld... I tried putting his body into my inventory but it won't work... I was wondering if anyone here knows how to get the game to trigger the thugs coming once again with the CLUA console or any other reasons. Any help would be such a lifesaver.

if this helps i was poking around in the infinity explorer and found in the Renfeld area of the dialogs section this...

IF
Dead("rethug01")
Dead("rethug02")
Dead("rethug03")
Dead("rethug04")
See([PC])
NumTimesTalkedTo(0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
StartDialogueNoSet([PC])
END

IF
GlobalTimerExpired("RenfeldDeath","LOCALS")
THEN
RESPONSE #100
DestroySelf()
END

ok i know i'm pretty much talking to myself here hahaha no i'm not crazy you are!!!! oh wait i guess that means i am crazy... no wait a minute does it? phew i'm not crazy yet....

anyways... I think i found the solution... i found that when the thugs appear and you beat them then you get to talk to Renfeld and you have the option of helping him or not as like most things in the game and if you do it sets a timer for 10 days in which you have to bring his body which is an item named MISC5F to Rylock. So I checked out Rylocks dialoge options... one of them is him being surprised and grateful for bringing Renfeld to him... it says the conditions for this dialogue option are the following...

PartyHasItem("MISC5F")
GlobalTimerNotExpired("RenfeldDeath","GLOBAL")

checking out further... when you accept the quest the following things happen...

GiveItemCreate("MISC5F",LastTalkedToBy,0,0,0)
SetGlobalTimer("RenfeldDeath","GLOBAL",TEN_DAYS)
DestroySelf()

Soooooooo my conclusion is you get his body... his self as a character in the game gets destroyed and it sets a timer for ten days.... so all i have to do is go into CLUA Console: SetGlobalTimer("RenfeldDeath","GLOBAL",TEN_DAYS) right beside that rylock guy and talk to him and that should be it... going to try it now and will report back when tried. Thanks alot myself for helping me out lol.

ok i don't think i know how to use the console... i got the debug thing on and the ctrl-spacebar thing too.. but when i enter...
CLUAConsole: SetGlobalTimer("RenfeldDeath","GLOBAL",TEN_DAYS)

it says
CLUAConsole: SetGlobalTimer("RenfeldDeath","GLOBAL",TEN_DAYS)
lua: call expression not a function

once again, more proof i'm crazy....

Followed the series of events a little more cause i couldn't figure out how to set a global timer ... sooooooo.... i followed the story and by giving the body to him alive you get the quest erased, he takes the body and destoys it as an item, adds experience (14,550), puts a nice little done quest entry in your journal and then you talk some more... and nomatter how it ends he takes the item again somehow... gives you 200 gold... and sets a variable called "LyrosSpawn" which upon looking up ... is the variable that is checked to see if Xzar appears. So Basically all I have to do is insert the Journal entry for done quest, add the exp... add the 200 gold and set the variable and that should start the harper quests in motion right right right??? hopefully

. Ok trying that out now lol.
