Have you gone to Verdistis yet? He approaches in a cutscene as you get close to a certain house.
Did you heal both soldiers?
If you have been to Verdistis, there may be something else you need to do first, like maybe complete the escort quest, or something.
ya i am in verdistis. and he isn't showing up, so i teleported back to aleroth and he is standing right in otto's room, "doh" i said to myself.
i will try to go to general alix and see if that will help, i have the verdistis teleport activated so it won't take much time to come back here once i talk to alix.
