New description:

 After dispelling the Simbani prisoner, a Fighter/Paladin must visit the
 Laibon and get asked to defeat a dinosaur and bring back its horn as
 proof.

 If you do this, as in the attached saved game, you can't tell the Laibon
 about it, and once you exit his hut you can never return, thus you can't
 finish the game*.

 In fact, the whole conversation at this point is full of bugs:
 1) Clicking mouth on yourself does nothing, so you can't leave by saying
 good bye.
 2) You can only ask 2 things.

 Interim solution to this situation (shorter):
 1) Enter your guest hut.
 2) Store either (or both) the Fine Spear or at least 1 Zebra skin in the
 chest (meanwhile, the Fine Robe is not allowed to be stored).
 3) Visit the Laibon and suddenly you'll be able to tell about or give the
 horn and continue the plot!
 4) Don't forget to later take back what you stored.

 Alternative interim solution to this situation (longer):
 1) Enter your guest hut.
 2) Store the horn in the chest.
 3) Visit the Laibon. You can talk if you want, but the important thing is
 to leave (by walking out because of the "mouth on yourself" bug above).
 4) Go back to the guest hut.
 5) Take back the horn.
 6) Revisit the Laibon and suddenly you'll be able to tell about Dinosaur
 or give the horn and continue the plot!

 Suggested solution:
 1) Once asked to bring a horn, don't allow to enter the Laibon's hut
 without it
 2) Once you have the horn, skip right into the second conversation

 Tried in ScummVM v2.2.0git4477-g0a0e650b61 (Apr 14 2020 06:13:00)

 * The food at the inn is charged on Kreesha if you don't have money. Even
 if it wasn't, as long as you defeat random monsters you'll always get
 money to buy food. So it's not like the game itself is over, but the plot
 will be stuck forever without anything new to do.
