I just finished the quest Blood's Honor for Kodlak Grey-Mane, but there is an attack on The Companions before I can hand in the quest. Now all the companion NPCs are sitting and mourning all the time and I can't get any new quests or anything.

How do I fix this and move forward in the quest line?

Got the same problem and i found this, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Purity_of_Revenge#Bugs, a bug where the quest won't start beacause of the status of another quest.

Edit: I finally got this to work.

I'm not 100% sure what happend. But my initial problem was that I already had cleared the quest dungeon , Driftshade Refuge. So the quest did not start.

When I first didn't find any solution to this i just kept playing, and eventually i ended up in Winterhold and got the quest to fetch the helmet from the Jarl of Winterhold. Then i traveled to the dungeon again and all enemies had respawn (This is probably due to the fact that enemies respawn after 30 in-game days according to the wiki) and just rushed trough the dungeon and got the helmet, left the dungeon, handed in the helmet to the Jarl, then tried to start the Companion quest by console:

player.setstage c06 0  <-- Initiates Skyforge burial

And that worked =)

What if you have it on xbox.... and had the same problem. – user15543 Nov 29 '11 at 12:43
I don't know, does not have one myself. But I guess you're out of luck, using this method at least. I would guess you need to load a save before you finish the previous companion quest, wait 30 days (or to Driftshade has respawned), then turn in the quest. – Hmazter Nov 30 '11 at 16:05
i had this problem with my Xbox and read this post and just finished the game without it. Now, i went back to before i ever went to driftshade and it is doing the same damn thing! i checked, i dont have a bounty, and at this stage in the game i have not even located driftshade. i have at this point been given the quest to find the Helm of winterhold but havent done it yet. anyone got any hope here???? – user15801 Dec 3 '11 at 18:46
hmm i have the same problem except i CANNOT load a previous file since im lvl 53.. i just done the imperial storyline and thus retrieved the helmet for the jarl, all i can do now is wait 30 days? or am i screwed? – user16427 Dec 13 '11 at 23:44
@Tommystar yeah you should be fine with just waiting 30 in-game days, and then use the console. – Hmazter Dec 14 '11 at 20:28

I had this problem occur today on my PS3. I couldn't find any solid answers anywhere but luckily I found a fix. I wasn't sure if the misc quest for the helm of winterhold was part of the problem or not but to be safe I reloaded an earlier save point and completed this before moving on to Blood Honor. Afterwords I had the same problem and saw that if driftshade was cleared then this will cause the error, and I had already done this. With little hope, I waited a month in the game and went back to the companions and it proceeded to the next quest without complication. Between the Helm of Winterhold being done first and Driftshade being cleared out seems to cause the problem for sure. But I have confirmed waiting for a month to pass in the game has fixed the problem for me. I hope it does the same for all of you. Good Luck.
