Thank you all for your help. Talking to the Elf worked - eventually - and I have progressed. Thanks agian.

Thank you. However, all the characters, including the Muscleman in jail, are "blue" icon - and he wont fight me either, all he says is "relax".

I'm on my PC, Windows 7, playing the TW Enhanced edition. The mouse icon when over a npc character highlighted in green turns to a mouth. usually this kicks into a video clip - but at this point Jethro simply will not reply. Hope that helps, and sorry for the spam ..

Wow, a reply, thanks so much - I'm old and not good at this chatline stuff !!
I've just arrived in jail at the start of Chapter 2. The quest says talk to the jailer Jethro.
When I click on the green icon to chat the little mouth moves, but Jethro doesnt speak - how the heck do I get out of the jail ?

I'm stuck at the start of Chapt2 - Jethro wont respond to talk - any ideas ?
