Okay, I just went through several hundred 30+ year old conversations on Usenet to try figuring this one out. From what I can gather, there are at least two possibilities:
a) Some players say there is a single rusalki in Dimwood. They believe you need to kill this one too.
b) One player said “Some are hidden so if your stealth is good, you might not get to fight them.” I have no idea what this person meant, and if this is true.
As I said in our earlier e-mails, I’ve never successfully completed this quest in the 30+ years I’ve played the game. I’m eager to hear from anyone who does.
Once that is figured out, I can update the walkthrough at Dimwood.net accordingly.
Edit: some more thoughts on possible quest triggers:
– There’s an old woman in a house in Darkmoor that can only be visited at night. She speaks of the Rusalki. Who knows – maybe she needs to be visited.
– Re-visit Haphra the mystic’s house after you reject her fortune and then kill her rusalki. There is a whole new dialogue with her after that.
