"I'd recommend a good vault and additional reinforcement DIRECTLY on your city." Yes indeed: the plan for the next period of activity is to have both surrounding armies, with diplo reinforcement, and strong inside help, with a large diplo contingent, and a vault. The previous episodes didn't show military defeats, rather a lack of diplo intelligence? Some gear against magical/undead/monstrous should be considered too?

Yes, at one point you are told not to move the tentacles. But the refusal of the crone to visit a city is a sign that the city had previously failed. My recommendation was at an effort to reset the quest.
I think the messages about NOT moving tentacles should be taken as NEITHER ADDING NOR SUBTRACTING tentacles from your inventory. Only the fools continue to feed the spread of the corruption.
I'd recommend a good vault and additional reinforcement DIRECTLY on your city. But nothing with Audrey in imminent. A long way to go before she is active.

I wouldn't! Some of the messages asked NOT to move the tentacles! (btw, in one of the two cities I geared for next Audrey's activity, I store extra tentacles — I could do with more, though!) i'm ready to occupy all eight tiles around the city with armies, each one enhanced with diplos of every denomination… and ask help to friendly neighbours in order to build a second circle around the city - i.e. 16 tilez to occupy till next New Moon (?) |

I get this behavior too... in some cities. But in recently captured cities I am able to generate both the correct message from the fortune teller AND to get the crone to show up when expected. I might try shipping out all tentacles to see if my "reputation" resets with fortune teller and whether that will change the crone's desire to visit my forbidden cities.

Had you got a positive response in another city? It seems the old crone visits one city/player?

I have been sending to the fortune tellers and getting the positive I'll send you a message soon response. The followup Duraz Karag message has not happened for at least the last 5 times. I'm wondering if need to hit the fortune teller at a certain time in the lunar cycle

Have to hit the fortune teller first. She will tell you when and where to hit Duraz Karag. Do this immediately following the visit of the old crone. Good luck!

Okay guys, I'm ready!
2 towns are prepared with 5x of each tentacle. I am going to send messengers to Duraz Karag. Should I do so before Audrey starts beating, or After she starts beating next time?

My thoughts at this point: (1) If a city has failed the quest then it can never complete it successfully. Are players attempting the quest for the first time, that is having 5 tentacles of each race prior to Audrey's awakening, are these players receiving the usual messages that have been already documented? (2) Perhaps more than 5 of each race is needed to improve chance of success? The message does say "at least" five of each race. |

Do you suspect that tentacles need to be 'freshly' acquired to trigger the escape procedure to last step of the discovery? Would it make sense, given the sort time to get the necessary items! (your own racial, then trade with other races?!)
