Redoran Hortator Quest Problem

[Scayde]

I am trying to get votes for the Redoran Hortator and have to rescue Sarethi's Son from Venim.....OK, Did it...

1. fought our way out..........Daddy didn't recognize son
2. snuck out using Chameo on myself and son & Calm on guards...No good either
3. taunted guards into fight, spared civilians, only 3 casualties...
Daddy still doesn't see the boy
4. disposed of bodies....no change

Has anyone else had this problem???, or is this a bug? I asume I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure it out.

I did several searches but never could find this topic. If it has already been adressed, sorry for the repeat but any help would be most appreciated.....

Thanx in advance

Im not sure-you escorted him to the manor, right?

Lets see....maybe talk to the mother....That could do it. Usually the son says "Thank you" once you take him to the father.

Im guessing if you did that, then its a bug, and you may have to take back paths.

This was very frustrating for me at first. Apparently, Sarethi doesn't want you to attack anyone. I finally hit on a strategy:

1. I used the Amulet of Shadows, snuck into the room where his son was, then waited until Chameleon wore off.
   
2. I spoke to him and told him to follow me.
   
3. I cast Invisibility on his son (with a spell I bought from a spellmaker), then used the Amulet of Shadows again.
   
4. We both sneak into the main entrance of the manor where he's being held, then make a run for the door.
   
5. I lead him all the way up to his daddy, then after he thanks me, I speak to Sarethi.

I killed all the guards and Sarethi didnt care. So I dont know.

Besides, if you can take a few hard hits from the guards while running a bit, you dont have to go through all that spell casting trouble, but its not a bad idea-its much safer that way.

Thanks For the suggestions. I'll try any and all when I get home, so every suggestion is welcome. I really don't want to start over again now that my stats are allmost all @100(Iv'e already had to do that twice...) that would be a huge bummer

Spoiler:
Oh no big deal then, forget the hortartor quests see if you go straight to the Saryoni at the temple, if you have had enough in game days you can. Or if your really daring try killing vivec, and do the back path.

Tryed all suggestions plus multiple clicks on father and son. All at once the son thaks me for bringing him home......

Must have been a glitch. Thanx for all your help.
