Help, my advisor is stuck in the executioner's hut
The first monarch in one of my kingdoms was evil, so I had him send quite a few people to the stocks and/or the pit. One of those was the advisor, but she somehow managed to avoid being arrested until after I did the assassination quest and got a new monarch. She's been releasing the ones in the stocks, but that isn't enough. I need the advisor for the first step of the Effenmont quest, and I'm playing the Imperial Domination ambition, so I really want Effenmont.
However, at some point after I changed monarchs, the advisor got arrested to be sent to the pit, but she hasn't actually left the executioner's hut yet. I can click on her little circle (sitting in the middle of the hut, you can't actually see her), and see that I can't have her be sent to the stocks, because she's marked for death, and I can't send her to the pit because she's too important to the quest. I suspect her importance to the quest is also why she isn't being executed, but right now I can't do anything. On the other hand, I tried playing a day's worth of a quest where she wasn't necessary to the quest, and she wasn't dying there either.
So, is there a way to have my queen release her while she's in the hut? I've only been able to release people from the stocks after they've been arrested, not to cancel any pending arrest orders. If I can't do that, is there a cheat to clear the arrest list? Or a way to kill her and get a new advisor (I could run another quest to do this, if necessary)? to reset her?
