I'm sorry if this is redundant, but.. I got to the Druid Grove and exchanged Nalia for the Druid guy, in part because she was whining about going to the funeral. Once I finished the quest, I tried to get her back. As soon as I did, she said she was leaving NOW and would be in that tavern in the Slums in a day. I haven't been able to find her since, and I want her back.
On a related note, is there a bad order to do things? I've been doing the off-line quests, and when I tried to return to the main story it seems different from what my Hint book describes. HELP ASAP!

She should be back inside the Copper Coronet. Also, the quests sometimes differ slightly than the hint book says because there are multiple ways to beat them.
