Hawk's Bug + A question

[486DX2/66 Dragon]

Hi,
I noticed in the FAQ that you are unsure whether the fact that you can not sail with Hawk at night is a bug in the original game. It has happened to me playing it from "The Complete Ultima VII", so I'd say it is a bug in the original.
Now to my question A few months ago I was trying to kill the Leech in the castle, but I could not use the cage on him when he was asleep. I am certain that I did the correct procedure because I double checked through a walkthrough and by asking in the newsgroup. Is that an exult bug?

Thank you,


John

Using the cage on the Lich works for me. Are you sure you used it on the Well of Souls first? (the cage should be glowing blue)

As for the Hawk bug, it is closed with recent snapshots. The problem was that one of the NPCs that are supposed to get on the boat was stuck in the sea when he was on sleeping schedule when you tried to bard the ship. Dr.Code fixed it.

Out of curiousity, is the bug that allowed you to sail with Hawk to Moonshade before you'd actually released him squashed in Exult? That could happen in the original game, and was a showstopper since you were then unable to get back to the mainland.

how did that bug get initiated?

Thank you. I will download the latest snapshop. I hope the saves are compatible )))))))))

Liche & Soul Cage.

You have to double-click on the cage then click on Horance to "use" the cage. Simply placing it on top of him does nothing.

It took me many moons to figure that one out the first time I played through the game.
