more task bugs?

[thebeez]

I'm stuck again! I've taken three charcters to the "bribe the harbourmaster task" and that darn harbourmaster won't speak to any of them. One has purchased a ship but the other two have not. Thought maybe I didn't have enough gold, so on one of the charcters dug up many treasure chests, but still that darn harbourmaster tells me to go ask someone else. I know he's the right guy because the gold circle is centered when I'm next to him. What gives?
