A few people have run into a problem with the imp hero's cutscene hanging, though I'm not sure how many were running past that spot on their way somewhere else when they triggered it (I don't recall that being mentioned by anyone before). There are a couple workarounds for this problem, assuming walking to the imp hero rather than past doesn't help: you can either click on the x to exit the cutscene conversation, instead of continuing it to the end, or leave one character on the opposite side of the village and approach the imp hero with the other.
