Help with the mainquest "Season of Bloom"

[Excelsior]

I have a problem.

My group found out that the problem for the monster are coming from seeds and that they are coming from a river. So i send Kesten to search for it and now the quest says i should follow him.
But it says not the name of the river. Just "the river" and i cant see a Quest on my Map.
Also Kesten is still standing in my throneroom and does nothing.
Have i missed something?

You have to find the Shrine of Lamashtu south of your capital and enter it on the first day of a week to meet Keston to ambush some cultists. If you have already done that, you have to follow the river EAST. At least that is what the quest description states. I am actually at the same spot.

[Excelsior]

I have done that.
But where follow?
I was already at the lake. The river is discovered.
You mean the river with the big bridge right?

The river that you are supposed to be following is the "Gudrin River", and it should be in your quest log:

If it isn't in your quest log, then you almost certainly won't be able to find the Tomb (you've been bugged :( )

[Excelsior]

Lol wait...
What is this ♥♥♥♥???

I have half of the quests not that you have here.

I have only 2 Quests...
The first (at the bottom) is "Attend the council"
Than the one above that is "Am Fluss nach Kesten und seiner Miliz suchen"
That is german and means "Search at the river for Kesten and his militia"

All the other quests i dont have... i dont have to defend the capital and other ♥♥♥♥...

How bugged is this game?
This rly pisses me off now...

[mreed2]

Not a bug.

I've completed the entire Bloom quesline, so of course I have more quests than you do. The key thing is the "Go up the Gudrin river..." quest -- you should have it, and it describes exactly what you need to do to find the Womb. If you don't have it (and Kesten has left the Goblin Fort) then you have a bug. If he's still present at the Goblin Fort, make sure that you've completed the Gobli Fort quests (the previous three quests in the screenshot).

Wait wait you dont understand...
Ok i tell now EVERYTHING

I was going to the goblin village where u get nok nok.
After this there was no other quest or whatever. I also made the quest where I search for the cultists. With the little detective stuff. And i made the operation.

After all this the council members gathered and they made the conclusion, that the seeds come from the river. Kesten told me, that he wants to go with the militia so i allowed it to them.
Now the quest says, that i should go search for him.

I dont have a quest for the Goblin Fort. Do you mean with Fort the Village where you get nok nok?

[mreed2]

Yes,that's where you need to go (Golbin Fort should be marked on your map with a little red flag to tell you that there are new quests there -- if you have "always show location names" turned on in the map).

[Excelsior]

Oh gosh now i see the Goblin Fort.
Well there is no flag. It looks exactly like your screenshot.
No red flag and i cant even click on it to see a discription. But hey at least i know now where to go. Thanks.

Btw. does this bloom stuff happen in the original Modules from Pathfinder? Does someone know this?

[Biggie]

It clearly state the name of the river.
Stop flooding the message board with unecessary stuff, sorry to write like this.
But there are so many bugs and what not we are testing and getting tired of.
Its kind of lame when players dont even BOTHER to write the text in the quest.
It dont only state what river, it state direction FROM your capital.
You wrote here before you read the quest text. Dont do that please.

Actually...

If you aren't playing in English, this quest can be a real problem. The map looks to be in English, but the quest description (which includes the name of the river) isn't. And at least for the German translation, they actually tried to translate the name of the river (which is absurd -- proper names shouldn't be translated).

So, non-English speakers may have a serious problem here.

I am at the questpoint where I have to find Kesten at the river, but I can't get to that point you show on that screen. There is just no option for me the go southwards at the end of the lake like you did.

[Smurf-O-Pax]

I stopped playing German versions years ago. The damn translation is always lacking.

If this is the first time that you are hunting Kesten at the river, you are trying to locate the goblin fort, which is slightly west of the left edge of the screenshot (along the northern side of the Gurdin River). This location requires a perception check to find, but there are several ways to make this perception check easier:

1. Visiting the Lonely Mill location will fire a book event -- if you succeed at this event, they will point you to where you need to go.
   
2. There is a wandering monster encounter (unavoidble, I believe) where you will be "ambushed" by some goblin scouts. If you let the dialog play out to completion, they will add the location to your map.
   
3. There are some goblins on the bride over the Gurdin river location (added once you get this quest) in the NE quardent of this map which are trying to tame an Owlbear -- a cutscene will play out when you get close, which will add the location to your map.

The Tome Of Lamashu pictured on the screenshot is where you go after the Goblin Fort. This also requires a perception check to add to the map (which you can't even attempt until the quest had advanced to the right place) and is easy to miss, because it isn't obvious that Gurdin river extends NE past Lake Silverstep. When you are at the right portion of the quest, you should reveal the location when you travel NE from Lake Silverstep VIllage.

How do I tell which day is Moonday??? The calendars only give dates, not day names. So frustrating!
