I'm playing the game with the Circle of Eight modpack (7.6.0 NC release), and I just finished (I think) the moathouse, I cleared every single encounter inside with the exception of the bugbears as I assumed those could be left alive. After killing the "master" Lareth and attempting to leave the moathouse I was ambushed by some monk called Turuk or something and some other guy and an army of brigands; I killed them also and went back to Hommlet. Now when I speak to Jaroo he doesn't acknowledge anyhow that I've cleared the moathouse.

Am I supposed to be able to speak to somebody for a reward for clearing the moathouse? Some of the people in the village do acknowledge that I've cleared it and thank me for getting rid of the bandits, but the quest log doesn't update and I'm just confused what I'm supposed to do now. I do have Lareth's journal with me but I haven't found anyone I can show it to yet. How do I progress from here?

It's been a while since I've played, but I think it's having Lareth's items in your possession that "proves" you finished the Moathouse. If not, I'd suggest checking out the Co8 forums for answers.

I think reading the journal or something puts the next town in the world map. If you see Nulb on upper right, you can just move on and nevermind quest completion.

Could be town meister (in the big house) or the head priest (in church) who aknowledges you did the moathouse, but it doesn't matter. There's no reward anyway.

Apparently it was Rufus in the castle/keep that I had to talk to, once I informed him Nulb appeared on the world map and I could travel there. Although the quest still isn't marked as completed... :P

Even with these mod packs the game feels a bit incomplete and confusing sometimes with the way it handles quests imo...it should really be a lot clearer who to go see for a reward and such just so I won't have to spend ages walking from house to house.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

I just had the same problem and the solution was to talk to Terjon. I think that was because he was the one who gave me the quest to clear the moathouse. That conversation also made Nulb appear on my World Map.
