QfG5 question - SHP installer, Rite 2

So I started playing QfG5 again (after a long hiatus), and am having a good time. ;) This time, I thought I would try to listen to what everyone has to say about everything, rather than try to rush through the game and set a record time.

I'm playing a Paladin with magic skills. I've done the first rite, got through the ceremony for the second rite, and watched Ugarte nearly die (dratted assassin! *shakes fist comically* :P). Now I've paid Andre to take me out in his boat to go to Sifnos... but we can just see islands, and the mercenary fortress never shows up. :( That is, Andre never gives the spiel about approaching Sifnos and waiting until dark, etc. :(

What's going on? Any ideas how I can move rite 2 forward?

Ah! Not to worry, I found the solution. :oops: The island of Sifnos is not marked on the map, and is a tiny island between Kea and Piperi - so it's easy to miss. Once you hit its shores, though, the quest moves forward.

I think I dimly recall that there used to be an icon showing a fortress on that island? But that might just be my old-ish brain thinking of things that I saw when I played this game back in 1998. ;)

Never mind... thanks for letting me ramble. ;) Please feel free to delete this thread if it's taking up space... thanks! :)

P.S. I included the words "SHP installer" in the title because, IIRC, I used an SHP installer to install and play this game? But again, I might have simply forgotten. :oops:
