Idle hands - where'd the lads go? SPOILER NEEDED

Post by edguy »

After handing the bastard swords and the beer to the young chaps in Imnesvale they wonder off. In a walkthrough found elsewhere on the net I read that they were going to show up at the cave (supposedly the Umar Cave, no?) after a while. So I go have a little nap at the local inn, see, and then I go look for the boys, but they are nowhere to be found! How long does one have to rest before they pop up?

Try leavin the map and returning.

I can't remember how long time it took, but I found them inside the Umar Caves "fighting" (HAH) a monster.

Ok, so I tried that. I left the Imnesvale map and went on a 8 hour trip to Windspear Hills and 8 hours back. But still no kids in sight! Neither at the entrance of the cave nor inside nor anywhere else I look!

So, we are talking about the Umar Cave, right? The one on the Imnesvale map? 'Cause that's the one I've been checking. Time and again.

Just come back in a few days or something, I don't know how long it takes for them to actually get there. They will be scared off by a gibberling, which they think is a dragon. Also, it doesn't matter how long you leave it, if you haven't seen them, they will appear later. And yes, it is the cave on the Umar Hills map, the gibberling will appear when the kids appear.

If I'm not mistaken, you also need to talk to the mother saying "oh my babies, they've gone off" and the guy who abuses you for giving them both grog and swords. I mean honestly, what were you thinking! We're adventures, set an example! :D Just hide korgan too ;) :D :p

Oh, I haven't met their mother. Where is she? I met this guy at the entrance of town complaining about me buying them grog & stuff but I'm pretty sure he wasn't a lady... but then again with all the magic around I wouldn't be suprised. ;)

Honestly, can't remember, she's either near the tavern, or in it. But in that general area anyway. :)

Talk to the Mayor's wife, and the guy in armor near the bottom of the map. I don't know if you need to though.
