Thanks for the reply, friend. I ended up loading an old save and actually following the Duke to discover where his room is located. Unfortunately, in my original save, the Duke is not where he is supposed to be. It must be a bug, because unless I follow him (keep him within view range), he disappears completely and is no where to be found... I'm no longer hung up on the Duke being no where to be found problem (although, if he disappears again, I may have more problems...).
However, I am still confused over the 'Meet the Wizard Zandalor at the Dwarven Bread Inn' quest. Are you telling me that this quest isn't meant (isn't possible) to be solved? Why would the game throw in a quest if it isn't meant to be solved (why not just tell me to go meet him, but not make it an official quest)? Please clarify. If the quest being failed is just part of the plot (meant to happen), then I'll gladly continue the game without any worries of it coming back to haunt me. (Please confirm that my waiting so long to visit the stronghold/go search for Zandalor this late in the game is acceptable. I've already cleared every single noticable place on the initial map, including the sewers, caves, buildings - underground and above - and etc. I've done every single quest (to my knowledge) available to me without the requirement of traveling to a new zone (new map - outside the 'initial one').
Also, can anyone touch on the little imp/goblin wizard-like creature I previous mentioned? Is he supposed to take my pyramids now? Should I just drop them out front before entering the castle, that way I can avoid losing them altogether? This quest/problem is a bit confusing...
