Damn Clair Larrouse quest

Everyone else has probably done this quest really easily <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> But I'm stuck <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> I've got the gold and the quest entry where it says I should send one ship to the bay while the others load the gold. What the hell do I do now? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
Ah, tis a confusing quest, this one. What you do is walk through the jungle and attack the convoy. I wont spoil the rest for you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
You know, I got stuck there too, but I think it's because I did this quest before I liberated Oxbay. You need to go to Oxbay's port, I think.

I actually did this quest through once and got to steal Larousse's ship and keep all the gold... Thing is, I think you don't get the dialog to doublecross him unless you have a less than sterling reputation... When I did it and it worked, I got the dialog, but when I went back something was changed (maybe my rank as a leader?) and I couldn't get the dialog again. I decided to go back to before the quest started and just forget about it for the time being.

I'm going to try going back to it when Oxbay is liberated. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I love this quest! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
I guess the idea presented by the dialog is that the gold is too heavy to move far so you send some crew ahead back to the lighthouse beach to get the ships and bring them to a beach closer to where you are.

Anyway, what you do is this:
After you've "liberated" the gold, leave that section of jungle and go back the way you came, to the next section of jungle.

There, the road splits, one way back to Greenford, and the other to a beach.
Take the one to that beach ... your ships will be there.

Cat, you just have to go near Oxbay for the landing at the mines to take place, even if the French own Oxbay.

If however, you are using "stormy start" you won't actually get the quest from Larousse until after you have triggered (by sailing near Oxbay) the French Invasion.

CCC added that quest check after I found the bug where the Invasion prevented the landing from proceeding.
 
You have to kill EVERYONE in the convoy and then Larrouse will talk to you saying that you need to get to the ship, which your crew have sailed around to the nearest shore for you! How handy!

Ah, so you go to the other beach, hm? Okay. Cool. I'll go back and do that...

I wonder why it worked before. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I think what I did was sail to Greenford from the lighthouse... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Ah well, I'll try it again.

Yes, that quest is fun, I don't know why I didn't do it before. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
The only problem is like the one in the Fred Bob quest, there are so many redcoats that you cause collateral damage and kill townguards instead, lowering your rep.

I didn't e-mail it at all; I added the quest check to PotCMods.zip. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I got that one confused with the "Stormy Start/Silehard/French Invasion" bug I also reported which CCC did fix.

But by that time I already dropped a load of rep for attacking townguards by accident, rather than the people that your supposed to attack.
