Hmmm. Good god, I think that may be it. Of course now I've tinkered with it so much that I've got it crashing, but I do have an older version saved. I'm going to go try that. Yeah, uninstalling and reinstalling items unfreezes it, and that is something that moves the clock along. I'll try it here in a little bit, and if it works, then I've got one other issue to work out, and then I'll have a new, and I think sufficiently interesting mainquest...which involves some cleverness on the part of the player. Well, the first time, anyway. Maybe I'll make variations to keep it from getting stale as fast. But I do like to think that at least one aspect of this quest will really make some people have to think outside the box.
