I'm playing as a thief imported from QFG2 and can't get the leopard prisoner to show up. I started the game with perfect QFG2 stats (thanks to the "blue frog" cheat), I've maxxed out my Throwing, and I tried setting DOSBOX cycles down to 3000.

I'm not sure if thieves need to challenge Uhuru to get the prisoner to show up, but Uhuru is certainly not challenging me. I can get her to show up and teach me to throw spears and to cross the bridge, but she never challenges me.

What now?!

As a thief, you only need to go to the fourth world map (waterfall) screen. You can leave immediately after that and go back to village. The prisoner will be there.

@mrprmiller: Thank you! That worked perfectly.

By the way, you can always check the sierrahelp.com pages and download patches for the game, and see if it works for you. :)
