Help! Apprenti failed in making robe Options

[GotWangi]

... even though all three of them were alive when ordered to make the robe Would CLUAing the robe in create any problem with regards to the extended stronghold quest ?

I will change it in a way that randomness remains and reloading cannot help to change the result. If they fail the first time, they will constantly fail even if you reload 100 times. How's that?

Yes, that sounds good to me, although with this approach I think it would be preferable to resurrect your previous idea of something else happening if they fail. Perhaps if they fail you could receive the "Ashes of the Apprenti" or something, which could be incorporated into a quest and/or another different item?

There are other random events in the game - eg. the Deck of Many Things - where I also think reloading should not change the outcome. The Deck is a pretty cheesy item given how easy Aesgareth is to defeat, and by reloading you can end up with a permanent 1 point stat increase PLUS 1 million XP (or permanent +10 HP if you prefer). Either Aesgareth should be much more difficult or the Deck should be tweaked, IMHO.
