Scar's mission to the sewers: How does it end? MILD SPOILER
Kelly Adams
Fist captain (?) Scar wants me to clear the "eastern sewers" of some
threat that is killing the locals.
I've been to the east, found the sewers, and killed the numerous
carrion crawlers. I've also killed the Ogre Mage who, before he died,
boasted that he was responsible for the carrion crawler attacks. He
was using them to drag victims to the sewers: the crawlers got the
meat, he got the possessions of the victims.
After all this, why does Scar say (paraphrasing) "Hey, don't worry,
I'll get someone else to solve that problem since you obviously can't.
Here's another mission..." when I return? I get no money, no
experience bonus, nothing. What did I miss?
Yes, I know the sewers go all over the city: does Scar expect me to
kill everything in the sewers? That seems silly: I mean, the critters
(including the carrion crawlers) keep re-appearing. Or is Scar
mentally defective (I.E.: a software bug)?

tell him about the Ogre Mage. After the battle (with the Ogre Mage), I
took a sword from him and ignored a ring that he had. I'll be danged if
Scar didn't go and ask me for the ring. Dang. Wouldn't you figure.
Maybe you needed to take something from his body as proof? *shrug*

time so immediately speak to him again.)
I've have similar problems myself, and have seen other related posts for
lots of the quests where if you do slighty more than was requested; or don't
ask for the quest first, you have to go through all the talking first, then
again without doing anything in between.
Example:-
NPC: Go to such a place and get my (whatever item) for me.
You: Yes, sure no problem (with item in question already in backpack!)
seconds later, start conversation with same NPC,
NPC: Thanks you found (whatever) here is your reward!
I'm sure I had a similar problem with this quest, but can't remember exactly
how I got round it.

entrance to Baldur's Gate and was asked to find out what is happening in the
Seven Suns compound (does this turn into the sewers?).

Throne). He may have even more but this is all I got from him.

Actually, I *think* (theory only) that talking to him the second time
without having the quest done was what broke poor Scar's little mind.
The first time you talk to him after the Seven Suns quest, Scar tells
you about the sewer problems. I accidentally talked to him a second
time, before I had found the Ogre Mage: he said "come back when you
are done". I went away, found and killed the Ogre Mage, and came
back. The *third* time I talked to him, he said something along the
lines of "Oh well, I'll send someone else to deal with the sewers.
Meet me outside to talk about the Iron Throne..."
I'm pretty sure it was the second discussion that caused the problem,
because I went back to a pre-conversation saved game, talked to Scar
once, and did the whole sewer quest before talking to him again.
Voila! I was rewarded with experience and money.
As part of my victorious conversation, Scar asked me if I found any
evidence such as a ruby ring belonging to some society girl who
disappeared. I couldn't remember finding the ring but said "yes"
anyway. Scar seemed to take my word for it, as nothing was reported
as disappearing from inventory :)

before Scar gave me the mission, killing the ogre, and getting the ruby ring.
Then he asked me to explore the Seven Suns, and I did, killing the
dopplegangers. Now, when I go back to talk to Scar, he's not there! I can't
do anything to get him to appear. What did I screw up?
