  @Fishburger67   Thank you so much for the speedy and helpful assistance. That got me back on track I think! As you mentioned you would be looking at this issue in the future, heres what happened in the hope that it helps with your diagnostics.   Setstage 350 - enabled me to talk to Niri and decide her fate.   Setstage 400 - Vess returned to the palace as I had previously instructed and the quest "On The Trail" came up as complete.   The ingame quest log now shows "on the trail" as complete and it is relegated to the completed quests section.   The "Take Niri to Volkar and begin her training" entry for Niri shows as complete.   The "Take Vess to Volkar and begin her training" entry for Vess does not show as complete (still a hollow diamond) (I would have expected to see Vess complete and the Niri item open?)   Vess has returned to the palace but still wears restraints. She has all the new dialog options I expected but there is no option to remove the restraints that I can find. (the options to tease her about the gag are still present...."mmmf!" being the reply....   No new quest has appeared in my quest log but I expect I have not found the trigger yet and have tried to avoid reading too far forward in the plot. (don't want to spoil the fun if I can help it!)   Hope that this is some help to you and again thanks for your kind reply.   (see you like fishing from your prof. so "tight lines" next time out mate and wish me the same.)

Hi, I have exactly the same problem in the On the Trail quest. Made the bond w Vess but cant get the quest to advance from there. Could you please supply the quest ID so I can attempt to setstage to 400? Sorry if im missing the obvious but I don't have the experience to deduce the quest ID by myself On the upside, thanks for some great skyrim shenanigans so far! & regards
