Saving the Rabbit Quest never completes

Summary:
I got up to the point of the game where I had given the rabbit clan food and they warmed up to me, I did the stone charging thing, and finally my town was given the quest to protect the fleeing rabbit. I decided to take him in and I awaited his assailants to come and fight but they never showed, I never got a box that said mission accomplished, and I haven’t seen the rabbits again in two in game seasons. I think the quest is bugged.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download the save.
  2. Notice how the rabbits will not come talk to you as you progress through the game.

Expected Results:
My townsfolk are attacked by an NPC invasion and the rabbit is saved.

Actual Results:
Gameplay resumes as normal without this particular quest advancing and further rabbit quests do not initiate.

Notes:
This may have to do with my towns location. Often, especially during the Goblin browbeat phase (Very sorry for not using technical terms) They would spawn on a cliff and be unable to reach my town. A lot of time passed and they just sat there, eventually giving up. Also very important. If I build a wall and put a door in front of it, effectively walling off my entire town, enemies will approach my wall and just disappear. It would be nice if they would attempt to break down my door. I may have also had the wall built at the time I was supposed to proceed with the Rabbit Quest.

I have this exact issue! Just made an account to post about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In older versions this quest was broken, and the fix does not apply retroactively. However, if you started the quest in the past week or so, you should be able to find a group of kobold hanging out some distance from your town. They won’t attach you themselves - you have to go out and get them.

I did spy a single kobold a long ways away from my base. I will attack him now. Thank you for the speedy response! While not the primary topic of this thread can you give me any information on enemies disappearing when facing a locked door?

Well, would you stick around if you were trying to visit someone and they just slammed the door in your face?

Is the kobold visible in the fog of war? I did a few scours of the map and saw none!

I would if I was attempting to murder everyone inside and steal all their stuff! So this is working as intended then?

Here he is, was in the fog of war. My ladder builders are hard at it right now.

He kept shooting at my ladder builders so he and his buddy deserved what they got. The quest has continued afterwards. Thank you very much for the responses!

Is there any other workaround to get this working?

I have been given this quest three times. The second time it started around mid-winter. I chose to fight and scouted the land looking for the kobolds. I didn’t see any. No more rabbit quests triggered. I started to think that the quest was broken. It was nearly at the end of winter when I finally saw a couple of kobolds up in the mountains, far from the settlement. I built a couple of ladders and sent the troops in. After killing the Kobolds the quest was finished.

The other two times I found the kobolds quite quickly, but that time it took a lot and they were totally out of the way. I don’t even know if they spawned inmediately and I just missed them or if it took them a lot to appear.

My advice is, keep looking for the kobolds. Even in odd places with no path to your base. They don’t come to you and might be well hidden (thick forests). But, afaik, they always turn up.

Have fun, Kyth.

I got the two rabbits to join my village but haven’t had anything happen in the form of getting the Geomancer item
