I can infer what happened from the bandits up top,, but was there something I was supposed to see or do to advance the quest? Or is this another one that will likely resolve outside the beta region?

I completed the puzzle and cleared the area. No archaeologist, and no further notes in the quest log. ("Double" makes some broad assumptions in a game where you can customize your avatars, but whatever.)

Everything else that wasn't finished either clearly pointed out past the beta, or is a known touchy issue (Arhu's experiment and the Grieving Orc.)

Regarding which, why plant the book about orc funeral customs, and then not let us follow up on that with the orc, who is *not* following them?
