When I was going through the Salamander museum, I entered through the lower doors and talked to the slaves first. I then went up and talked to Kerish (?) the Salamander king and got the key from him. I went back down, freed the slaves (after talking to Vera), then went back up and began to fight. I had to run back downstairs and heal and rest up several times because my group was getting pretty trounced (and I learned to my regret that you DON'T cast Shroud of Flame when standing near your target, LOL!)
Anyway, I've gone all around, killed all the salamanders, talked to Vera again and freed her, and have approached Kerish's chamber again...killed the salamander guards and ice trolls...and no Kerish. Does he do a disappearing act on you as part of the plot, or is this a freak occurrence? Was there anything important on him that I need to continue the game? I'm pretty concerned here. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
