Leave the "3 Artruhns" where you found them and go to see Mmehepsala. She should give you a toy drum.

How did you get the three Artruhn's to Mmehepsala?? :shock:
Did you happen to use the VTA travel agency?? Don't do that!! Just walk out of the shack with them. Something should happen right outside...
(There is a warning in the readme for VTA that it can potentially break many quest mods, including Lost Heir - I hadn't made VTA when I made Lost Heir...)
If you haven't got any saved game from before you left Gnaar Mok, read spoiler below...
WARNING!!!! TERRIBLE SPOILER COMING SOON!!!!
WARNING!!!! DON'T READ THIS SPOILER UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!!!!
Spoiler backwards: (seidob rieht hcraes dna meht llik)
(don't do this in Mmephepsala's cave or at the Zainab camp)

Thanks for the quick comeback
After walking out of the shack in Gnaar Mok with the 3 Artruhns behind me got into a little fight .After this I cannot speak to them as if I do they just each say they are badly injured and then just die.So I don't speak to them and they just follow me to see Mmehepsala but when I get to her nothing happens.Feel I have gone badly wrong somewhere and I so want to finish this mod
Oh, I see... but the dialog is put that way because... that is what is supposed to happen!! If they survive the battle, talk to them, let them die and search their bodies.

Where is Mmephsala?
That depends on how far the quest has proceeded. Initially she is in her cave Hepsatum, which is on an island south of Tel Aruhn. Don't go there until you have received instructions from her niece on where to find her!
Later on (after she has told you so) you will find her at the Zainab camp.

The three wonna-be heirs a dead an I have found Artruhn's message, but neither Mmephsala, nor my dear friend Jolende (or what is her name?)say anything! What am I supposed to do now? Mmephsala also stubbornly refuses to leave her cave. She says that she wants to return to Zainab camp, but she does not do it!
I have an entreaty for you Emma: bring a "Lost Heir"-Walkthrough online, I know it is spoiler, but it would help a lot!
Let me just say that I really Like the looks of the Blades agents. The designers have done a great job!
Have you told Janicia that you have found the message? The script that moves Mmehepsala from her cave to the Zainab camp is in the resultbox of Janicia's dialog from where she acknowledges that you have found the message.
Did you by any chance download this mod veeeery long ago but haven't played it yet? In the ver 1.0, there was an issue so that you needed to throw the message on the ground and read it there in order to get a certain journal entry and have Mmehepsala moved to the Zainag camp. This was fixed in ver 1.1, like 48 hours or so after the first upload in november 2003, but if you could possibly have the older version this would explain your problem.
If so, simply throw the message on the ground and read it there. You should then get a new journal entry.
If this isn't the problem, I would need to know what greeting Janicia gives you in order to sort this out. I haven't heard of any problem like this before, except for the problem with old ver 1.0, which has been sorted out for a very long time.
