Rare Elven Chainmail
In level one of the temple dungeon, you may have freed some prisoners, one of whom was Princess Tillahi (probably identified as "elven prisoner").
From that point on, there are bugs:
Sometimes her reward party doesn't show up period.
Sometimes they show up but the blue(?) elven chainmail you're supposed to get isn't given.
I think I got a unicorn ring from her once, but never the chainmail.
If you do a search here and on the Atari ToEE forums you'll find a fix for not getting the elven chainmail, although IIRC you will have to edit a game file to do so.
I have the Co8 patch and still get bugs with the rescue reward, so it has not (AFAIK) ever been fixed completely.
I'll see if I can find the thread that has directions to fix the bug, but meanwhile it is worth noting that the woman (Smigmal Redhand) in Falrinth's section of temple dungeon level 3 has a set of blue elven chainmail, too.
Here you go, courtesy of Auldar's response to the issue on the Atari forum:
"To fix the Blue Elvish chain armour missing from the reward for Spoiler: rescuing Tillahi, edit "Elven Maiden" NPC inventory in data/Rules/InvenSource.mes.
The reason for the bug is that the dialog with the Elven maiden calls a function to transfer the Blue Elvish chain from her inventory to the PC's, however she doesn't *have* the blue elvish chain. She was mistakenly given the *green* chain, twice. As such the transfer fails.
Change this:
{138}{Elven maiden: 100,6214 100,6214 100,6126 100,6057 100,6058 100,4081 100,6027 gold,2-12 silver,4-24 platinum,2-12}
to:
{138}{Elven maiden: 100,6214 100,6125 100,6126 100,6057 100,6058 100,4081 100,6027 gold,2-12 silver,4-24 platinum,2-12}

I don't think so - IIRC, when they intercept your party a dialogue is initiated immediately - with no chance to attack and loot - they give you their stuff and vanish. I mean, I could be wrong, but that's how I remember it - even though it only happened twice for me. But maybe there was a dialogue route to start a fight...?
Can anyone confirm or deny?
Thanks.
