My solo Skald has been contracted by the Church of Lathandar to acquire the services of Sir Sarles, but the snooty artist demands I get him pure illithium to work with.

I contact the local ore merchant and she offers to give me an alloy rather than pure illithium. She tells me if I want the "real stuff", I'll need to talk to her contact. I chose to speak to her contact.

The contact told me that he didn't have the 200lbs of pure illithium I needed, because his brother he hadn't heard from his brother (who actually worked the mine) in several days. He was concerned and asked if I would investigate the whereabouts of his brother. (this part was added by the Unfinished Business Mod, I believe). I agreed to look for his brother and set off for Umar Hills. I completed the local quests then went to the Temple Ruins. I managed to find the missing brother, but he told me there was no illithium to be found anywhere in the Ruins (which is where the brothers had been getting it). He left the dungeon, but I continued on. I searched every area I could think of, but never found a hidden store of 200lbs of illithium (which I honostly expected I would find.

When I returned to the Copper Coronet, the contact thanked me for finding his brother, but I still didn't get any illithium out of the deal. I went back to the ore merchant and she repeated her offer to provide me with an alloy - so I accepted.

My question is whether or not I've done something wrong and screwed my chance to get the pure illithium or if I just haven't progressed far enough to get it yet.
