I'm in the Shadow Theatre and have killed everyone there. I'm supposed to be greeted by 3 witches when I exit the theater, but they're not showing up. What can I do to progress the story?

[I_Raps]

Did you go through the portal into the shadow plane? If you did - did Safiya talk to you after you killed the last group there? That conversation it needed to advance the plot, and it is prone to fail sometimes.

[Duke Mathias]

I went through the portal, killed everyone there but Safiya didn't talk to me.

[I_Raps]

You should replay that. Hopefully you can load a recent save - it autosaves when you go in through the portal, but that might have been overwritten. MOTB uses autosave a lot more often than the OC, but it might be too often (for example, that portal autosave overwrites the autosave when you entered the theater not ten minutes earlier).

[Duke Mathias]

I don't have a save of that. I saved right after I had killed them off. Then I went in and out of the portal because nothing happened. So now I gotta start all over. But thanks for the quick reply.

I am in the situation.  Is there no other way to get around this than a complete restart?

what does your journal say for An Ally at the Veil ?

what does your journal say for An Ally at the Veil ?

It still says that I need to find Lienna.

[kevL]

here's what my researches found.

it should read, when exiting the Veil,
"Lienna, proprietor of the Veil Theater, has apparently destroyed herself ..."

If instead it reads "Upon entering the Veil to seek ..." then Safiya's dialog didn't update your journal. Try consoling inside the Veil, then exit to town:

`
debugmode 1
rs ga_journal("q20_veil_ally", 300, 1, 1, 0)
debugmode 0
`

witches will hopefully be there to start a dialog auto.

background: It looks like, as _Raps pointed out, a dialog with Safiya should happen after the battle with Khai in the Shadow Theatre. Lienna's remains are found. (I'm going just by what i see in the TS, so details might be different.) This is when the journal updates to "Lienna, proprietor of the Veil Theater, has apparently destroyed herself ...". Here are the commands that were executed in that dialog*:

rs ga_door_open("b04_veil_exit")
rs ga_global_int("00_bSafiyaCanLeave", "1")


* only those that potentially stop the plot

You seem to have gotten those last two okay, so try *only updating your journal* first.

technote: the Journal should have updated along with the two latter functions; the alleged fact it didn't, causes me to look even more askance at the automatic dialog thingies like auto-quest update and auto-mark-node-done ....

[unclejoe1917]

Awesome, thanks.  Let's see if this works. 

[unclejoe1917]

It worked like a charm.  Thank you so much.
