Life's a bitch, ain't it?
1. and foremost: have you patched your game? If not, you should, really!
2. if there is no orc to kill in the cave to get the key, try lockpicking the door in the basement of the Blue Boar Inn, that could pick up the quest (talking to the guy at the bar about the poison you found in the basement)
3. a key to Dr E.'s house can possibly be found under a stone south of his house. If not, try lockpicking.
(You may have to see to get to level 5 in lockpicking!)
