So, I received the quest to kill six cougars with gar zeng in six anlaen. Easy, I killed seven or eight just to be sure. Went back to Karazhil in Riverhaven, and she just says Karazhil says, "Opieus, you have already been given a task. You need to complete that before I give you any others." It's now been more than six anlaen, and she's still saying that. Any idea what I actually need to do, or how I can reset the quest?

are you asking about a task or a quest?
Tasks are different. It seems to me you are getting the "task" response. Guild Leaders and other NPC's in crossing and river haven give out coin tasks.

She might mean cougars up north of Lang, in with wood trolls.

No the Conserve quest they ask you to kill a certain creature with a certain spell.
Rehlyn probably has it right, with that quest you have to go to the specific area that they tell you. Not just any of that type
Cute verbs and speaking from hiding are excellent ways to catch a lightning bolt in the face regardless of mystical ninja abilities.

You'll get a message when you've killed enough to, I forget what it is exactly... but something like you feel you've completed your quest. You have to use nothing but that spell to, can't use any sword blows.

I believe it's "You feel a sense of completion." when you kill the last one(part of the death messaging), it's like doing a Kill TASK.
Wasn't sure if you had to use just that spell or if you had to just finish it with that spell. Good to know though.

It was definitely something similar to this, and it was the cougars just south of El'Bain's. The system must track the kills oddly, though. I killed at least ten when asked to kill six. Thanks for the information.

The system should only count a critter when it's killed with magic. At that point it looks a the critter name and the spell you used; if they both match the values of the quest you're on, they count toward your quest completion. As long as the critter has the same base name as the one you were told to kill, it should work. (The messaging is pretty specific about killing 'any' type of critter if there are more than one you can choose from.)
Did you receive a message that you accomplished your task? If you didn't, then it's most likely a problem with how the critter's name is being entered or stored in the quest data. I'll take a peek to see if that's a possibility. It's also possible that the spell data isn't being stored correctly either, but that's done automatically so the chance of critical failure is miniscule.
If you received a message of accomplishment, but the guildleader who gave you the quest isn't recognizing you as having completed the task, then there's a deeper issue. It sounds as if this might be the case; I've encountered problems with Karazhil before.

I did eventually get the completion message. But I definitely killed more than six cougars. I only attacked them with the spell in question (gar zeng), so it should have counted them all. Thanks for looking into it.

Heh, so I definitely killed more than six cougars. I looked up. While I was at it, I looked up the quest assignment just to be sure. I need to write these things down. It was eight cougars in six anlaen. Sorry about all the confusion.

No problem. I looked at the code and couldn't find anything wrong (I was pretty thorough about bug-squishing when I rewrote the quest mechs). Just to be sure, everything worked out okay for you?

Yes, indeed. I killed eight cougars with Gar Zeng, got the completion message, and got the ability. I assume, I haven't used it yet, actually. But Karazhil told me she taught it to me. The entire problem was located in my memory. Or lack there of. Thanks again.

No problem. I just get twitchy when something potentially goes wrong, especially when it sounds similar to bugs I've fixed in the past. :)
Also, you can check the pathways you've learned with PATH LIST. Just in case you were paranoid about whether you've learned it or not.

It can be. A cougar is a cougar, as far as the system is concerned. Area has nothing to do with it.
