I've hit a small problem, and was wondering if any of you can help out.

I started the quest for the knights of the most radiant heart, searching for the fallen paladins. I helped defeat the smugglers, was told to get the goblet, and went back to the order. In the meantime, my reputation dropped from 11 - 9 (my character is an evil thief, so this happens often). When i talked to the guy who gave me the quest, he told me to leave. Did the reputation drop mess up the quest? I searched all over the order building for the goblet, but can't find it, so i assume he has to give it to me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I tried killing him, but the goblet isnt on his body(I have an earlier savegame).
