Shattered Kingdoms

I am in the afterlife for the first time. I am seeking the Oracle. A will-o'-the-wisp has asked me a question, after some thought I answeared 'say my answear is ......' and suddenly nothing happened. The will-o'-the-wisp is still there but doing and saying nothing. if I go west and straight back again he says Do not wander too far. but that is all I can get out of him.
I have tried sayto and reply but they just get 'They aren't here.' I have just disappeared into the void for the forth time. I read I should wait patiantly but there are limits, its been over 1 hour now. Have I done something wrong????

There are multiple wisps up there. You may need to actually wander around a bit to reset things. Add'ly type: who to see if there is someone on the list whose title leads you to believe they may follow a priest, or be a shaman or elementalist/warlock path. All of these sorts have ways to also help you back to life. When you are dead, you do not appear on the who list unless a player has a spell up to detect you from the Afterlife. Make sure you tell them who you are, and that you're young and where you died (as much detail as you have area/room wise). Ensure the wisp is actually in the room (look) and use just the say command to answer the question(s) when they are asked. If you are in game and see me, feel free to ask me (tell carita <message>) and I can see what direction I can give you.

It sounds like a bug with the wisp, Rosconz. Try to 'pray' and see if an Immortal is around to assist. If not, keep an eye on the who list for a person with a 'priestly' title, and try to get help via resurrection/raise dead. It sounds like you're kind of stuck until you can find someone else to help you.

Don't lose hope!

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm ok now. Never did sort it though. Someone found my corpse and brought me back. Damn it feels great to be alive.

Did you also mispell answer in the game? That would produce the effect you are describing.

Wouldn't that send him away from the River into that one room which has no exits?

If the script never saw the keyword (answer), then it wouldn't do anything associated with the deathquest. If he mispelled the answer itself, then it would send him to that room, yes.

Correct.
