NPC Spawn Issue: Slansin for Inert Potion Quest (again)

[Tecmos Deception]

Well after months of being annoyed that I couldn't get this damn quest to work last time I dragged my ass all the way over into Erudin, I went over to try again.

Real Slansin was up. I turned in the potion from Toresian to depop him. Faction hits and depop as he should have. But then trigger phrases wouldn't repop either the real or fake Slansin. And after I waited over 2 hours and tried the phrases again (used both "I study enchantment" and "I wish to assist Toresian"), still no Slansin of either variety.


Is there a bug here still/again, or am I retarded? Here is nilbog specifically saying I should be able to force the spawn of slansin with these trigger phrases and that he should respawn in ~2 hours even without the phrases: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=73229

I tried collaboration (a couple of times) to try to get higher faction with Toresian to see if that is why talking to him wasn't spawning Slansin, but it was resisted + aggrod Toresian each time. Fortunately it can be cast without LoS so I was standing down at the portal out of the palace with bind sight on Toresian and just zoned out when he started coming at me.
