Welcome to the board, Kipling!!!
That is a sticky problem.
By "reverting" you mean what - that you reloaded from the last time you had visited town or you reloaded a previous save? Not that either matters if you're coming up with only 3 instead of the needed 5. Very strange.
At this point the only solution I can offer is to hack the Masque of Evil. Email me and I'll tell you what we need to do. I am totally unable to email back save files if they are too big but I'm willing to give it a try. If I cannot email back the save - I'll give you a lesson in hacking the game for yourself.
