Hi,

I finished "Indecent Proposal" and just get the kayran quest where I must talk to my friends in the tavern to get some informations. I must precise that I did not talk to them just after saving Zoltan and Dandelion in the tavern to finish (correctly) "By the Gods - Stringing Up Sods" quest. I gone in the tavern after losts of other quests.

And now, I must talk to my friend to start kayran quest but I can not talk to them (or just banality with Triss, nothin with Dandelion who is sleeping on the table, and Zoltan who saus is borred...). Is it a bug because I did not talk to Zoltan, Dandelion and Triss to finih correctly "By the Gods - Stringing Up Sods" quest ?

How could be it fixed please ?
Thank you.

It's a main quest, so it's unlikely you have done something that will stop it completely.

Are you sure that it's your friends you should be speaking to?

If you're going by the quest marker, try a different floor in the tavern. (You've probably already found the basement, but there's also a staircase leading upstairs on the outside of the building).

The marker is in the middle of the tavern.
=yes I am supposed to talk with my friends...
I tried to find someone in the level 0 and level -1 of the tavern but nothing.
Upstairs, I found Sheela in her bedroom but she doesn't want to talk with me.

TO start the Kayran quest you need to go to the ship docks or jetty where there's man injured on the jetty from an attack by the Kayran and is affected with the kayran poison...investigate...this starts the mission on the Kayran.

Note: But also you MUST talk to Loredo beforehand after saving Dandelion and Zoltan so you can talk about the Kayran and that if you defeat the Kayran then Dandelion and Zoltan will be free to leave Flostam.

The sorceresses Sile and Triss will be at the jetty, there to start the questioning on defeating the Kayran.
So from there on you need to investigate and it's pretty straight forward from there.
Which unlocks The Kayran: The Matter of Price and The Kayran: Ostmurk missions.

Someone is not supposed to rush in the tavern to alert on the kayran attack ?
I already go on docks but nothing append

I'm not remember how "By the Gods - Stringing Up Sods" quest was closed but i think it is marked as completed.
I need to check it again.

Thanks.
I hope I'm not blocked because I did not talk to my friends in the tavern after saving them...

If you got "Indecent Proposal", then you have finished "By the Gods - Stringing Up Sods", so you must have met the requirement to speak to Loredo.

No, it won't be Sile yet. You're right, you need to be speaking to Zoltan and Dandelion.

All I can think of is time of day? If you've already done Indecent Proposal, then is it the middle of the night? It may be a requirement that the interruption occurs during the day. Try leaving the tavern, meditating until the next day, and then going in again.

I've never done Indecent Proposal first, but it ought to be OK from the quest viewpoint. I've often delayed speaking to Dandelion and Zoltan for quite a long while.

Right, I was in the tavern during night, wait until 9.00 AM but leave then to finish other quest.
Perhaps I waited not long enough. I will try it (this week-end, can not play during week) and let you know if it works.

Thanks.

You actually have to talk to the TABLE where your friends (usually just Dandelion and/or Zoltan) are sitting. As in, target the table and press the key for talk instead of targeting one of the characters specifically. You'll know you're targeting the right thing when the option to talk pops up but no character names are highlighted.

It's messed up, I know, and the game gives you NO hints about this. If I hadn't stumbled onto this on my first playthrough, I'd still be stuck in Ch. 1.

Talk to the Table
I will try this, thanks aznricepuff

Ah Yes, After saving them you must talk to both Zoltan and Dandelion about how they got caught up in this situation.

Then go to Loredo's invite at 21:00 and he will talk about clearing there names for defeating the kayran.
During this time you can 'disable the ballista' and also spy on Sile and Loredo talking (if you didn't get caught by the guards while sneaking out the back of the mansion).

After talking to Loredo you must go back to the inn and a villager will run in about an attack from the Kayran.
Triss says to check it out which is on the jetty.
There's an injured man on the jetty and Sile and Triss are there so just walk up to them and the dialogue should start about the kayran...this starts the three kayran quests.

Thanks aznricepuff for the tip. I taklk to the "table" and it works fine !
I could start the discussion with my friends and someone rush after into the tavern to alert the attack in the port.
