Well, duh. Adventuring there "unlocks" it.

In any case, you have confirmed everything I had already figured out.
Thanks, I guess. ;)

Heh. Welcome. I'll try to update BCA to do the proper unlock, since what we've got there now doesn't do it.

There is no point in unlocking Lady S unless you actually want to USE the poppet, etc. to get the reward. If all you care about is adventuring to get the dissolving ingredients, you probably don't want to be interrupted by babies. But, if you want to adventure in the Storage Room (and then the Laboratory) to get Lady S's reward for finding her babies, that is a bit more complicated, and, yes - you need to get the toys and do the right things at the right choices.

I have confirmed that attempting to visit place.php?whichplace=manor3 right after dancing with Lady S in the ballroom but before seeing the map of the second floor of the manor with the staircase up linking to that identical URL does not work. It says "You can't go there yet.". If you look at the map of manor2 and click on the stairs, it submits that identical URL and shows you the map of manor3.

I guess I'll just remove the code that gives that link. Too bad!

Wha—?

The same link doesn't work unless you click the stairs? What difference could that make?

No. The link does not work until KoL has shown you the map of the second floor again.

And it definitely used to be the case that you could not adventure in the PFA until you'd clicked on the beanstalk at least once. This is similar. And aren't there a few things that KoL doesn't unlock for you until you hit main.php? Ditto.

Oh. Jick's just being annoying now. So, to get a link there you'd have to send the main map URL to KoL, get the reply (skip sending it to the relay browser) and then send the URL for the second level whose reply you'd pass back to the relay browser. Of course if you could do that so easily you'd just continue the chain and send the URL for Lady Spookyraven next. :(

I don't think you need to go to main.php; I just happened to go there because the only link on the "Uh oh!" pages was "Return to Main Map". The ideal link to add to the Ballroom result would:

- Visit the Second Floor
- Visit the Third Floor
- Talk to Lady Spookyraven and show that as the Result.

Do you still plan to figure out how to accomplish that or is this feature as implemented as it will be? (Fingers crossed for the first option.)

I left the method to add a link in RequestEditorKit, although the call to it is commented out.
I'll see what I can do about it. Eventually.
