How to drive off group?
« on: September 23, 2015, 06:21:51 pm »

I recently started a game in adventure mode as a hearthperson. The first thing I do is ask the Lord for an order. He said to drive off a group that was skirmishing with my group. Their hamlet was right next to the town I started in. So I go there, kill the lady, and tell everyone I see that I killed her. I go back to my town, and tell the Lord about it. I check the agreements tab in my quest log, it says the order hasn't been completed. What am I doing wrong? Should I wait more? Was I not supposed to kill the lady?

I'm not sure if anyone has figured these out yet. I recall asking Toady about it at one point and he mentioned fist-fights I think?

So I should just start punching everyone in the mead hall?

Try it, can't hurt... well, I mean, it can hurt them, but they're your enemies anyways right?

Maybe what you need to do is murder someone in front of them all, and make them run away.

(Maybe bring a part of the corpse over? In Dwarf Mode, at least, there is a bug where seeing just a part of the corpse makes dwarves think they saw the death itself. Might apply to Adventure Mode as well, but I don't know; can't check when I have an active fortress.)

When in doubt, murder the crap out of everyone.

Nothing worked, except for one thing. I claimed the site for myself, killed the lady, became Lord, gave Lord to my companion, and the order was listed as completed. I reported this to my lord, and he said my service was undeniable, blah blah blah. I ask for an order, and he gives me the exact same order.

Try making this lord the lord of the other place?
Maybe he wanted it conquered.

Well, sorta. Whenever I report back to the Lord, he says my service is undeniable blah blah blah. When I ask for an order, he gives me the same order.

That sounds frustrating. I recommend stabbing the Lord in question.

to drive off the same group?

Kill the leader, and his/her leutenants.
Should work.
