This will be my first try at this type of test.. It will be a work in progress as I run this trial and error. I have only laid down the begining groundwork but will devote some time to it's completion. In essence what I want this to do is;
When you talk with Eldros Danmor and get his blessing to talk to Nideno she will spawn for a short time in the back of the Bear Caves in Nedaria's landing. If oyu reach her in time you will be able to be transported to the Forgotten Halls. Nideno is not part of the spawn in Nedaria so she will need to be added. Also I never played this game live but as I traversed The Forgotten Halls it seemed to be weak zone for the level of NPC's offerning it. So I am going ot tweak the zone a bit to be a bit more challenging. I am reading through lua scripting and pl scripting as I go so this may take a bit as I have to see how to go about spawning and timers so bare with me. So far just the begining ground work has been laid out as follows..

This is a seperate dialogue in fhalls to return to Nedaria via a_harindi_guide.
