    Title: The Clink: Colman won't give quest
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? Yes
    Details: Colman will not give his quest unless you click the keywords when FIRST talking to him.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    - Talk to Colman but DO NOT pick one of the 2 dialog options presented about Myra and the key - instead talk to him about something else, ie: say 'name', or tell him your name, etc
    - Subsequently when talking to him, if the player types "help" or when Colman mentions the 'help' keyword, you click it -- he says:

    [1/28/2020 5:44:59 PM] Echondas: help
    [1/28/2020 5:44:59 PM] Child: The only help I need is from my father.




    To get the quest, the player needs to exit dialog with Colman - then talk to him again, but this time, instead of saying something else - you MUST pick one of the 2 options presented as keywords - asking 'help' later will NOT trigger this keyword selection or offer the quest, as shown above.


    [1/28/2020 5:51:09 PM] Echondas: Can I have a key like Myra's.
    [1/28/2020 5:51:09 PM] Colman: Woh! M-m-myra wasn't s-s-supposed to tell anyone where she got it from. Cat's out of the b-b-bag now. But if she trusts you, maybe I can, too. But you have to help me first!
    [1/28/2020 5:51:09 PM]
    [1/28/2020 5:51:26 PM] Echondas: help
    [1/28/2020 5:51:26 PM] Colman: I only ask because Myra vouched for you... My father was once a Red Sash b-b-bandit, but when he tried to leave their gang they got angry and framed him for a c-c-crime he didn't commit! Could you go into the Clink and deliver something to him for me?
    [1/28/2020 5:51:26 PM]
    [1/28/2020 5:51:43 PM] Echondas: Say no more. I'll do it.
    [1/28/2020 5:51:43 PM] Colman: You can do it if you avoid contact with the guards, and not fight any prisoners. I couldn't do it, b-b-but it shouldn't be a problem for you. It's simple: Use this key to unlock the nearby sewage grate. Bring this letter to Colm, Cell Block B, Cell 4. Tell him it's from Colman, his son. Return to me when you're d-d-done and tell me his response. That's the deal!
    [1/28/2020 5:51:43 PM] I need to bring a letter to a prisoner in the Clink.
    [1/28/2020 5:51:43 PM]
    [1/28/2020 5:51:43 PM] You received the following (Clink Sewage Key, To Colm, From Colman) from Colman.
    [1/28/2020 5:52:11 PM] Echondas: Goodbye
    [1/28/2020 5:52:11 PM] Colman: Farewell, Echondas.

    @Echondas, i think this was already the case, and that you'll have another chance if you talk to myra and go back to him.

    It's intentional that Colman's quest is unlocked only after you indicate to him that you know he gave Myra her key. He won't give you his quest if you skip that connection and jump right to the "help" response. (Fictionally, he needs to know someone trusts you with important business before he can do the same.)
