Please help, I'm stuck with an apparent bug. I've just received the shrive and the staff. Now I need to speak the words of power and go beyond the huge statue blocking my way. However, I never get a prompt to either "Stay Silent", or "Speak the words of power". Can anyone explain why or help me around this?
For a clear example of how easy this should be, please consult the Youtube video 'Let's play Realms of the Haunting part 2 : dat shrive", at 19:50.
The attached screen shot shows what should be happening but isn't. Should be mindlessly simple. All the character keeps saying is" This isn't gonna move in a hurry."

Thanks to all who try to help! I was so excited and now feel ripped off.

I don't have the old patience anymore! Sorry!
I figured out that I'd missed something.
