Spoilers wanted!

And spoilers below

**********************

Stuck in the Lair with the white dragon... no way out. From reading
the walk-through, there is supposed to be a secret door near some
"safe room".

I can't find a safe room in the lair, and haven't found a secret
door.

I loaded the module using the DM client; I can see some corridors in
the south (behind the masoned walls) but no secret doors to them - no
secret doors at all in the lair.

I was also not able to find the town (supposedly, there is a crack in
the wall in the NE after you leave the castle of Raven? Couldn'f find
that either.

First of all be aware that the walkthrough does not exactly match the Mod.
At one point the Author did a major revision that changed several things.
The walkthrough was never updated.

When you first see the White Dragon it will be hostile (red aura). Do not
attempt to fight it. Using
stealth or invisibility get past the dragon and take the path that crosses
the water to the south side of the cavern.
When you reach the south wall you should be able to go to the left or right.
To the right you will find a sealed door.
To the left there should be a passage filled with boulders. If you approach
the boulders the white dragon should appear
next to you (non hostile). Talk to the dragon.

The crack in the wall at the castle was removed. You just sneak out the
front gate. At some point you will be spotted and you run like hell or stand
and fight depending on the abilities of your character.

Must be a bug... I did exactly that (snuck past the dragon, encounterd
the door and the boulders, spoke to dragon). I've tried every
conversation path with the dragon, with Pia and without. Most of them
end up with the dragon saying, "Well, I hope I like it" (the story).
There is no conversation path that points to an escape, they just
suddenly end.

Ahh.... well, that's sort of what happened. I unlocked the castle
gates, walked around outside... found no way to get to Raventown.
Found the cave, rested, killed the guards, got back into the castle,
confronted the wizard, followed him into the white dragon lair.

Oops, never mind! Found the answer at the NWN vault today (some new
posts since last time I looked). It's replicated here:

"After the dragon says: 'Let's hope I like it...' you are supposed to
tell your story. The story you'll tell depends an a variable called
'PiaBaronWay' set on your PC. The variable describes how you've dealed
with the baron. However for some reason it seems this variable does
not exist or isn't set properly (has to be 1,2,3,4 or 5).

To fix the problem you have to set the variable using the debug
console:

##DebugMode 1 (Press Enter)
##dm_setvarint PiaBaronWay 1 (or 2,3,4,5) (Press Enter, click on your
PC)
##DebugMode 0 (Press Enter)"

Thanks!
