with penny. it's an event that just happened, i'm on the day after her husband wakes. (I stopped playing, because tia being missing is tying up too many other objectives, and I can't find an efficient way to progress until she's back. feels like i have nothing to do but slaughter bandits, hunt, or other grindy, pointless activities. and it's harder to level without her).
and no, she isn't in my party. i just re-checked. and so far i have not used any cheats(i have cheat mode disabled), save editors or mods.
just incase this will fix it. whats required to retrieve the chief of rumah's body? as i said. the well just says, something about being "dark". and that's it. i have 2 ropes, a torch, etc. checked everywhere else near orc camp. worst case. i will have to open up rpgm, and see if i can grab the map files, and place an object that removes, and adds her to party forcefully. i don't want to have to do that though. do i need to do another quest line first?
