Is there supposed to be a quest showing up in the journal or a note that tells you where to go?

No, after Read Between the Lines it just becomes (for now) a Captive hunt.  Immediately after getting the ring from Dris, two additional camps are placed and each camp resolved spawns two more up to a limit of 10 Captives in world at any given time.  You should be getting notice from the Innkeep/Steward chain.  No idea why you're not.

 

From the console, enter:

Help SBCInit

It should return an integer.  What is it?

I'm using v0.98e for LE and having a problem. I have completed The Plot Thickens and Read Between the Lines quests. I spoke to an innkeeper and was told to investigate Hjaalmarch.

I go to Morthal and speak to the steward Aslfur. His reply is "I hope that helps" I don't get the note of the bandit location. If I speak to him again His reply is about not trying his reports. I loaded a save that was before going to Morthal and it's the same.

 

That is the very same problem that was addressed in the post just previous to yours.

 

Lost Kitchen Utensil Hideout

Again.  Not getting the notification that I have found the large cavern area, even though there are no longer any living bandits anywhere in any part of this location.  I am not sure what was going on, but it sure seemed as if I had several waves of those Daedric Wisps spawning one after another.

This is a different problem.  Try this:

Help SBCSN

If it doesn't come back as 0, set it to 0.

 

No idea why it would do this for you but this may help us deduce it.

Innkeeper sends me to Falkreath.  Talk to Nenya about disappearances.  It seems as if I get the quest but no paper, no location, no quest/map marker, and the whole quest line disappears from my journal.

 

Solution:  Walk around until you get close enough to the target camp and you will get the quest and questline back.

I get global variable SBCSN=0.00

 

If I load a save that was before I talked to innkeeper and talk to a different innkeeper I keep getting sent to Hjaalmarch to investigate. Should it be that way?

Not a solution, really.  More of a work-around pending a solution.

 

Question:  When this occurs, does the entire Questline/Journal come back, or just for that camp?

Yes, because that's where the Captive is.  It has no bearing on which innkeeper you talk to.  You've got a Captive in Morthal, but right now, short of wandering to the respective camps, there's no way to tell which one.

 

For Hjaalmarch the likely candidates are Orotheim, Mzinchaleft, and Robber's Gorge.

I got the rescue notification when I got to Mzinchaleft, thanks.

What portion of your Quest journal returned at that point?  Just that location, or others too?

Just that one location to rescue Sabrina.

But was this the first Captive, or are you on the other side of the two Quests?  If the latter, then hunting for the camp only restores that camp, not the whole journal.

[thesteve812]

After the rescue my journal has speak to an innkeeper quest. I've been to 4 different innkeepers and none of them know anything. Should I continue asking other innkeepers or is something not triggering?

Something's not triggering.  What does SBCInit yield?

Sorry if I don't understand. I've completed the 2 quests and have the ring of Uvani. Now my journal wants me to talk to an innkeeper.

You should have 4 active camps somewhere.  Still trying to get the root of the journal issue; this is a new one.

You're after the first two linear Quests, and have Captives placed in two camps.  Nothing in your journal or info from innkeepers?

Innkeepers all say I know as much as they do or heard nothing. I have nothing SBC related in my quest journal. Using Large cheat in the MCM just tells me no captives placed. I cleared the Camp behind Bleakfalls Barrow (Bonefall Slope) and Aspen Creek trying to get something to trigger with no luck. I got the ring about a week ago and I can't progress.

That only governs the amount of information you receive upon finding the camp; it has nothing to do with finding it in the first place.

 

This issue is perplexing; starting to build an auxiliary Quest as a diagnostic tool to shed some light on things (maybe).  It will at least show what is (or is not) in the "undiscovered" list.

[Blackbird Wanderer]

Diagnostic pack here for those having Quest journal issues.  This inserts several MessageBox debugs at key points, plus there's an on demand script you can run that will show you exactly what is either the unknown list of camps, or the known list, depending on how you set a certain variable.  The Quest that starts the script is self stopping and automatically resets.

• To show the hidden list, console: "StartQuest SBCRecovery"
• To toggle to the known list (to compare to what is shown in your journal), console "Set SBCKnown to 1" and then "StartQuest SBCRecovery"
• Toggle back to the unknown list with "Set SBCKnown to 0" then "StartQuest SBCRecovery"

Feedback for 0.98eSE with a new profile. I turned down the number of "conviniance mods" and it seems as if it's running much better.

I was able to finish the Kahjit quest now.

Two minor things:

1) My first captive was in Riften Watchtower. I killed all bandits and Fus-Ro-Dah-ed the Orc on the top level off the tower which killed him. AFAIR there is code in the game that kills on fall obove a certain height.  The captive refused help saying not all bandits were dead. I checked with "detect life" (and "detect dead" for potential vamires), nothing. I was able to solve this with setting SBCBanditsDead to 1.

2) The leader had no Journal, maybe because this particular location doesn't really have a leader? It's Orc hunters and bandits. IIRC the Journal should be in the second camp in this case?

 

All in all everything runs much smoother now, even SlaveTats works though I do not use it on the captives.

Same, the latest patch seemed to fix the journal issues, the quests work now. Thanks!

I don't know if this helps but my first captive was in Trevas Watch, there was no bandit leader journal.

[thesteve812]

When I use diagnostic and set known to 1 I get 0: Valtheim Keep and 9: Mzinchaleft. I have been to Mzinchaleft and rescued the captive and is greyed out on the list.

Valtheim Keep is not greyed out on my known list. When speaking to innkeepers they still don't know anything about missing women.

 

Edit: I tried loading a save that was before going to the Morthal steward. I spoke to him and told me to go to Mzinchaleft. In my journal sexy bandit captives was not showing anymore. I went to Mzinchaleft and get quest notification for going there and new quest to rescue the captive. I kill the bandits and wisps and rescue the captive. New quest starts of talking to innkeeper. I go to 2 innkeepers and get they don't know anything dialogue. The diagnostic shows I cleared the area.
