Ok, I have searched the forum and it looks like there has been no mention of this so I thought I would post it.
During the quest for Prisoner of Orcs I had battled my way through the lair (killing the king) and came across the location where Niur was being kept. After killing all the orcs in the slave area and convincing Niur to head out with me I stupidly decided to go out a different way that I came in. During our way back to the surface we encountered a large batch of orcs which proved too much for Niur (I used a scroll of recall before Niurs demise but it looks like it did not active fast enough as I received a Journal update the I failed the quest due to Niurs demise).
Since I had exited the lair after killing the king and before finding Niur and saved the game before heading back down I re-loaded my saved game (where Niur should still be alive) and made my way back to the slave area. To my surprise, Niur was no where to be found (even after making my way through every area of the lair, killing off everything I found). Thinking that the failure of the quest was still being registered I went into my users journal log and found that this was not the case -- the quest was still active rather than showing in the completed section as failed. Just to validate the quest I made my way back down to the man who gave me the quest and when attempting to speak with him my only available response was that I have not found the lair.
Hope this enough information.
