Missing NPC messing up Collector Quest

[Luc of Legends]

Ok we all know Thomas O'Neerlan took a walk about.
Well now Alberta Gaicco is gone on holiday too. I searched the whole town and no Alberta. i sent in my bug report. (yes i can see again to play UO. Reading is ify at times)

My question is this.."Is there a way to code it quest NPC are not change to hatred, cowardice, and falsehood when a town is invaded? Of course this is the old quest style so it might be harder. i say move them but there are only what 3 cities not in involved.

i love the collector quest.. i am sooo close to a complete set. (no i didnt get them all by doing quest. i bought and trade for some)

i just found out the Crimson dragon is still lurking around Vesper. Maybe after he dies the quest NPC will reappear? Either way i am flusterated.

Maybe they got tired of their old jobs and decided to get new ones?

But I think that after the invasion in that city ends the NPC will return.

She's gone swimming just SW of the "Ore of Vesper"

 

[Luc of Legends]

I hope so. Of course no one killing the crimson dragon on legends. LOL at one point i saw 3 or 4 cities with crimmy dragons in them at the same time too.

 

[Luc of Legends]

LOL. maybe. Wish she at least leave a note with Elwood so he know not to send us there.

 

[Maplestone]

No, seriously, she has ... (on Legends). You may need to be right up against the shore to see her.

Sorry, i thought you were making a joke. i look in all the buildings, i even check those 2 islands in vesper. i didnt check the water edges that well. i used all names and ctrl-shift to see names but missed her.

Its no joke, she is taking a swim in the river. just keep hitting ctrl+shift and u will find her. (beware that CD is still around and seems to like her shop for some reason, she will even fight it from time to time.)
(hint to the thieves out there, steal from the crimson while it fights her, won't attack u, but beware area attack. worth a good 1,000gp and the prestige of saying that u stole from a Crimson.)

DevilsOwn found her: http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=122062

You may need a boat for this quest...

 

[Viper09]

Hrmm, maybe the Crimson in Vesper was your local EM trying to rob the bank

...or maybe your local EM just knows how to bank sit in style, lol.

Yeah Moneymaker stealing from the CD is pretty cool. i was messing around on my sisters theif. i stole from it and survived. To maplestone.. TY well make that Devilowns. okay next time remeber to check for post.

i have a hypothesis on the quest NPC problem.
