Hello! This may have been mentioned before..

But I wasn't able to collect my green ash from the npc in Hyursimill (sp?) in the northern Black Shroud area. The bomb incinerated in the special furnace while a chigoe was attacking it, and I know the bomb wasn't killed by the chigoe because it's health was still high.

After that, I talked to the npc, but she didn't say anything, and I would automatically deselect her.

Then she ran off back to the bombard location, leaving me all alone without any hard earned green ash..
