Would recommend making a new thread about it since these are two separate issues so it's buried under the original one which is not getting fixed either way ^^
If you have a savefile just before the party triggers their 'someone's shouting up ahead' comment when approaching the Grove, then I can also take a look at it if you feel like sharing it via Google Drive link. Assuming it's not modded, as I doubt the save will load properly if it is.
