[Zateel]

This is a bug being addressed by patch 1.21. I had the same problem. It's not the journal in the lab you need, but a scripting error. When I first arrived to that point, there was not even a dead rogue lying to the left of the gate. I had no idea what everyone was talking about (dead rogue?). Finally, I started from the end of Port Llast and reentered Luskan and rushed through it to get to the pinnacle. This time, everything played well, I saw the thief (and was able to take the items) and I witnessed the dialog. Unfortunately, I underestimated the Lizardfolk, plus became trapped behind the open gate door, and was killed (stupid! stupid!). I reloaded, and the next time the gates opened. The "three" disappeared without any dialog, but I beat the lizardmen(easily this time) and progressed. On the Bioware boards, there are *HUNDREDS* of postings by frustrated gamers about this problem. Fortunately, it will soon be permanently resolved.
