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.

[FIXED] Re: Prisoner of Orcs bug

I think I know what's going on, but would you please generate a backup and email it to me when I have a moment?

Thanks, and don't worry, I'll fix it for you so you can complete it.

I hope necroing this thread is ok, as I have a similar problem with the same quest. I've escorted the quest dude to his friend, but the friend only asks me the "have you found the lair yet?" even though the rescued dude is standing next to us. What to do, i wonder?

What does your journal say about the quest?

It says "I found Niur, now I have to take him back to his friend Usham the woodsman, in Southern Bluemist River".

Never mind. I ran around the cabin couple of times, and the second time around both of us got really close to Usham and he reacted automatically to Niur's presence, completing the quest. :)

That might indicate an oddity with where the NPC was standing in relation to the trigger spot. Might.

Oh, and the next bug you find, starting a new post is ok if you can't find in answered in the last few months. There's been a lot of updates so previous fixes might not apply. Thanks for checking the forum first, it's nice to know some people do that :)
