You will have to delete the events.dat file possibly.  Not sure about that.
Preslar created the problem when he did final work on LORD 4.07 back in
June, and it still exists in LORD 4.08 beta now, as you have found out.

It may apply to all LADY scripts that are executed at random by LORD.  It
does not happen if the lady script is executed by test.ldy which is run
when you press X in the Forest.  That is, if the LORD game is setup with
/DEBUG parameter in the LORD command line in start.bat that runs LORD.

Preslar is the only one who can fix the situation, since he is the only
allowed to work on the LORD programs, due to the contract terms he agreed
to with Metropolis Gameport, who owns all of the LORD games.  The script
writers can't fix this type problem.  Its not their fault.  Michael Everett
wrote the BLue Fairy script and he's been AWOL since around November 2006.

Preslar also is the only person who can fix LORDCFG's inability to display
what lady scripts are contained in events.dat file, past the first ten
entries.  This bug has been around for well over a year.  Its just now
beginning to bite bbs sysops pretty badly apparently.  You may just have to
test each available LADY script and see which ones will work when run
randomly, and which don't.  Then delete the actual LDY file for that
script.  Or move it into a subdirectory.  LORD does not use LORD.ldy any
more, as of v4.07.    

Be sure to write to Preslar directly at mike{at}lordlegacy.com via email and
explain your problem to him.  He will need details, such as your lady.log
file, and LORD's error.log file possibly.

As long as Michael Everett is unavailable, I provide limited support for
his LADY scripts.  But this type situation is not one I can do anything
about, nor can any other LADY script author.  This problem is 100% due to
LORD's LADY engine not being able to execute scripts correctly. I also
provide full support for all LADY scripts made by Gordon Lewicky following
his death in 2005, since I know he would want them supported.   Donald.
