Glad to hear you solved one problem.
About badges: Keep them. You'll eventually get six of them. Much of the rest of the game is devoted to collecting them. You don't give them to anyone. In fact, I finished the game with all of them still in my inventory. You need all six to open a door near the end of the game.
The wizard who was transformed into an umber hulk should acknowledge that you got the badge then vanish. I forget if there's an additional exp bonus for reporting back to him. You do get an exp bonus when you first pick up the badge, at least. Even if he isn't acting properly, your game is not seriously impaired. All you need from this is the badge, and you have it.
