Gothic II: Problem with fishmonger

[Hagatha]

I'm playing the PC version with the NOTR expansion.

I can' get the fishmonger to talk to me about the stinking note I found in the fish in the bandit cave. I have the note with me when I talk to him, but there is no dialogue option other than "show me your fish." I've tried putting the note in his inventory but that doesn't work.

I've "failed" two quests in favour of the thieves guild (I let Rengaru go and I delivered the package form Akil's farm to the fellow in the tavern). I cleaned out three bandit caves around the city, including, obviously, the cave where I found the fish with the note in it. I have collected my share of the reward for giving the package from Akil's farm to the fellow in the tavern.

What else do I have to do to activate the next phase of the Thief guild entrance quest? How do I get the fishmonger to talk to me about the note? what else do I have to do?

Apologies for not stating that it was Gothic 2 I was playing in the header for this topic -- and I see I can't edit that.

That's fine. Edited.

Did you talk to Hakon the weapons dealer to get the Bandits Raid quest? That one needs to be started and finished (by killing those guys in the cave) before the dialogue line with the fishmonger is triggered.
