Finding Garron Options

[cheeseberries]

Finding Brial's letter, stealing Kalinor's body, and confronting Garron will equally start the time trigger which is exactly ONE_DAY, then you'll be caught and revealed.

I stole Kalinor's body, gave it to the necromancer, and denied any knowledge of it as I left his room. Then I went into Brial's room and read the letter. Oddly, Hrothgar had nothing to say about the letter. Upon leaving Brial's room I ran into a mage who questioned why I was there. I lied to him and he left.

The letter made me think finding Garron is the next step. I thought I looked all over, but I can't find him. While looking for Garron, I ran into Jiri who said Brial could be found in the Senior apartments. No one is in those apartments.

Three of the outside buildings are locked (and warded against simple spells). Is Garron inside one of them? How do I open them?

What must I do to finish Halruaa?

When searching for a person cheeseberries, would it not make sense to try and
ask other students if they know his whereabouts? There's a few wandering the grounds.
As with a lot of BG. NPC's any named character generally has something to say to you. Maybe it's a case of finding and talking to the right someone who'll point you in the direction of Garron.

I spoke to everyone in Halruaa. The only mention of Garron was Brial's letter. After finding the letter no NPC pointed me in the direction of Garron. NPCs who had something to say only told me where Brial's room was. Since I already had Brial's letter, telling me where Brial's room is seems to be a mute point.

Perhaps I did something out of order and some strings got messed up. Hrothgar did repeat the same dialogue at 2 different points. The dialogue which repeated was the one you get upon entering the statue room, then again after finding the letter in the lower right building. It might have something to do with adding patches halfway through Halruaa, so I'm doing it all over from the beginning.

BTW I never got a hint to look for Brial's room until AFTER I found his room. So yeah, I must have done things out of order.
