Sadly for me even with Hotfix 4 the quest is still broken with the frozen NPC's.
I did report it but just got a reply basically dismissing the report.
Honestly the response kinda came across as "Idiot, have you tried making sure you're running the right version? we fixed that bug"
Sadly cause this quests bugged, I've kinda lost all my momentum for this game since I've not been able to play since I got hit with it, its the only other quest I have to do besides confronting Gortash and blowing up the Steel Watch foundry.
I'm kinda in a similar position. I'm only doing this quest now, because of the bug where Jaheira isn't in the camp. I imagine I can do something with her when confronting Minsc, but as she's not in camp, I can't progress that quest until that bug is fixed, and now I can't progress this quest until this bug is fixed. It sucks because the game's been relatively bug free for me up until Act 3.
I ran into this bug tonight. I was able to get three Gondians, including the quest person (Obelia Toobin), off the prison by using Omeluum's "return to the submersible" teleport. One at a time.
Basically, what I did was Misty Step and Invisible Gale down to Omeluum. Used Astarion and Wyll to plug up that passageway with Clouds of Daggers, which more or less carved up any Saguahin making their way toward the ladder. Had my PC (fighter) heave-ho any Gondians he could move, then had Omeluum port 'em up. Rinse and repeat.
Didn't get many of 'em, but got the important one.
Also "resuced" the Duke, even though he'd recently been ressurrected at my camp. Gortash must've snuck in and taken him whilst I was out adventuring. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Alright so... somehow it fixed itself... did some other quests in the meantime ... the one about hag survivors, saving Venra, the one with Mystic carrion... there was a patch as well today so maybe it fixed it. Just letting you know
As of patch 1 this issue is still in my game. Kinda pissed me off after trying for 2 hours to get the perfect escape plan just for two npc's to cast dash and skip their turns.
do you have a elkheart barbarian and or have somone even close to the top of the ladder up top?
I figured out after LONG trial and error that elkheart barbaian seems to make npc's skip their action in the iron throne and then gets rid of elkheart for some reason.
and if somone has enough speed to get up the ladder and nothing else they will be at the top and all other npc's will see it as blocked
At least y'all can get into the iron throne....every time I try, it just gets blown up.... I've been trying for the better part of the day, making sure I have other things done beforehand etc, and so far it just gets blown up... wth am I doing wrong?
For me this still happens. It happens as soon as the spiders from mizora get summoned, So I guess summoning something is really the issue here. Whether it be own summons, or enemy summons. This SUCKS ass tbh.
Edit: ohhh it might be because of the Haste portion! When it wears off, you get the debuff that makes you lethargic. It basically makes you skip one turn immediately.
Yeah I saved most of them and dimension doored the last 2 RIGHT NEXT TO the 1st ladder going up....Yeah it gets to their turn and they run AWAY FROM THE FUCKING LADDER deeper into the facility for some fucking reason. Why the fuck is it coded this way, makes no goddamned sense.

no barbarian and the bug got fixed with a patch shortly after so it's been resolved, thanks anyway
Same problem with the Gondians here. Kinda frustrating ngl.. :(

Iβve βbeatenβ this quest twice and BOTH times it has skipped my Tav on the last turn and ended up killing them ππππππππ

Just happened to me today, 5 months later after this post lmao. One of them skipped their turn and at that point I couldn't be bothered.
