Alice's Basement

[LawfulStupid]

When you take her quest to go deal with the rogue spellbooks, and someone has previously taken the quest, died, and logged off, the books don't seem to leave, as they figure they're still quest objects, and the person with the quest never turned it in or abandoned it. I went down the ladder  and my character was attacked by 4 to 6 living spellbooks, and a fresh spawn of 2 from having stared the quest. I was fear locked to death and really didn't have much of a chance to do anything. Normally you get enough time to rush the Ghostly Visage bookpile before the enemies actually begin to spawn.

I've done this quest three times and have never seen an enemy. Would not have known it had enemies if it weren't for this post.

Well, there are three variants of the quest, one doesn't seem to have combat, one can rarely have combat, and one always has combat. But Alice has been bugged for awhile and not telling you the correct thing that you're actually going down there to do most of the time.

I have attempted the non-combat version, and you cannot finish it once you find the book. Alice doesn't give you the dialogue option to do so.
