Thanks for the ideas.
It really seems buggy - when I tell a guard standing outside his door I want to report a felony, he draws the building I'm in on my map.
Why wouldn't Commander Ralph want to talk when I bring that evidence...
As a side note, the whole prison thing here is a bit odd too - they don't search the cell for a magic teleporter when they lock someone up?
But, this basically seems to work - though it leaves one of the sub-quests for the poison, to do with Elrath, unsolved for no apparent reason.
I haven't yet gone back to the farmer who began the quest, I assume the reward is there as there was none from the Commander.
Now, to figure out what to do about the fort being charmed into enemies... or what to look for in the garden (not ready for spoilers yet on those:) )
