This response is fine, unless we're talking to someone who's already in Talos Plaza.
   
   
We need to add one more condition to account for this by using the [[GetInCell]] function.
We need to add one more condition to account for this by using the [[GetInCell]] function. We also need to update the stage values that [[GetStage]] checks for.

For this topic we need to add another response.  
 
Right click and select new in the info box.
We should also add responses that only work inside Talos Plaza. This next one should direct the player to the Imperial Hotel where we placed Vilanus Villa. Again, we can copy the conditions by using the copy and paste method, and then change the last condition (GetInCell 'ICTalosPlaza') to 1. (You could also duplicate the entire response by right-clicking and selecting copy, and then edit the duplicate from there.)

If you wanted to get really flashy we could add another response for the occasions when we ask NPCs about Vilanus Villa in the hotel itself.  
If you wanted to get really flashy you could add another response for the occasions when we ask NPCs about Vilanus Villa inside the hotel itself. However, I have not done this to save a bit of time. Feel free to try this yourself. A response like "Yeah I've seen him around here." would do. Don't forget to copy the conditions and alter the GetInCell parameter. Also remember that [[GetInCell]] matches the beginning of the cell strings, so you should add another [[GetInCell]] condition to the second response which excludes the Hotel cell (so that the response "I believe he is staying in the Imperial Hotel." shows up everywhere in Talos Plaza EXCEPT for the hotel itself).
