English is not the 1st language of this user so I've tried to interpret what he is saying to make a better bug report in English. I never tried to recreate this bug.

In Newlake Baron Karsten reacts to the Keyword "TROUBLE" and gives you information about the CRYPT After you finish the CRYPT mission Baron Karsten still reacts to the Keyword "TROUBLE" and says the same thing. This behaviour is different to other NPCs (such as PELANIS) after a mission.

It is possible that this is normal, and that there is no event that stops Baron Karsten talking about this mission after it is completed?

What a coincidence. Yesterday when I checked unused map events I found a disconnected event in the Crypt of Newlake which would normally set global var 193. I already added a todo for myself to check where this is used.

There is no usage in the NPC data of Baron Karsten but maybe it was intended exactly for that. So after reconnecting the event in the Crypt we could add a different reaction as well based on that global var. But we would need some text as there is none fitting.

Hm after looking a bit closer I have to change my mind. The reaction to "TROUBLE" is all about the brotherhood and not about the crypt. The crypt reaction comes from the word "CRYPT KEY" instead. After you give him the Ambermoon picture he will give you the crypt key and from there on use a different reaction text for "CRYPT KEY". The "TROUBLE" reaction is never changed.

He says the following in reaction to "TROUBLE" at the moment:

"... PERHAPS YOU WILL SUCCEED IN REACHING THE TEMPLE. I WOULD BE VERY PLEASED TO HEAR YOUR REPORT ABOUT WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON THERE. THE FACT THAT SUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE BROTHERHOOD IS OF GREAT VALUE TO ME MAY PERHAPS MOTIVATE YOU ..."

The question here is if there should be some reward or reaction if you explore the temple or kill the Moranian in the temple basement. But it has nothing to do with the crypt at all.

In the original bug report prophesore used the term "Vault" which I thought was the CRYPT. Sorry.
