Mongrels?

[silverpanther34]

Ok, I feel I am missing something here -or- the story line is broke/not implemented yet.
While exploring the Market Square you run across a group of Mongrels, you have several conversation options. 1 is to tell them you have a plan and they should wait at the exit to the shield maze. 2 is to do whatever they need to do. <--- This one (2), is not as interesting as 1. However neither led to me seeing them again. I thought they were supposed to help. They never did, not in the underground, not in the city, not at the tavern.
They just vanish. I thought they were a group I needed to recruit for the "Gather Allies" quest. But no option for that either.

What am I missing?

The “gather allies quest” doesn’t need you to get anyone it’s just easier with the extra groups.

They are found again in the basement of the castle but don’t actually follow you up. So I gotta assume it’s a bug.

I realize its not needed, I just like to explore everything the developers worked on. Gather allies quest was still active after I had the Theiflings, (The new mages, name eludes me at the moment), and Harens? Inquisitors. If that were the only allies you could recruit it would make sense that the quest would complete.

They may be adding more on the full release or your right and they are bugged who knows for real.

I believe it's tied to Wendu\Lann personal quest. Troops are not implemented in the battle mode however.

The mongrelmen are bugged and don't currently assist you in the Garrison assault

[Scion]

I think its still bugged yes.

Thanks, all of you, for your comments.

If this is a bug, then it's still bugged. Trying out different characters and told them twice to help now, they never showed up...

you should be able to send them back to guard the underground tunnels

[Cutlass Jack]

They don't join you on the garrison assault. They appear in the garrison basement guarding the hole you exited out of during the intro. They'll help you fight the other things in that basement, but wont follow you during the rest of the garrison. They keep watch at the hole.

One additional thing though; they wont appear in the garrison basement if you chose the Demon path in Shield Maze, even if you pass the skill check to tell them to go there. That is probably a bug.

I just met the mongrels and everything seems to be as people stated above in this thread two years ago. ie, it seems neither of the two available options currently have any use. Or am I missing something? Did people discover these options' uses in the past two years? Or is it confirmed as a bug that remained untouched for two years?

I was under the impression, from the dialogue given, that the mongrels would guard the other entrance, so that the cultists couldn't escape down into the tunnels under Kenabres once the battle was joined (and it turned against them). Obviously the demons could teleport out, but the mortal forces would have to do it by foot, at which point the mongrels would be waiting there for them.

Do you remember from where you ended up when you exited Shield Maze? That is where mongrels were every time I picked option to make attack from 2 sides, Dretches in stealth also were there.

Is there no upside to letting them stay on the surface? (As opposed to asking them to guard the underground entrance)
