Thanks for the response Veranis. It unblocked my game. I reloaded a previous save, rekilled ISobel and pretended not to see her being flown away by Marcus, or hear Jeheira say an absolutist must have infiltrated the inn to seize her. Battled the cursed harpers and got back to camp for long rest, where everyone except Minthara is now angry with me.
Now , indeed, the butler reappeared and gave me the present, but I have to say I'm disappointed with it. As much as I liked the first one. Don't know what to think of this.
I'll try to continue the DU run at least to see what happens when I find the Nightsong. But I'm not sure I will take it to the end. It doesn't seem to be my cup of tea.
