Ok, bit of a spoiler here:
If you wander into the SWAMP (as I did), as soon as you enter, the Dark Savant appears before you and demands that you return the Astral Dominae! He then realizes that you don't have it, starts cursing whoever stole it from him, then vanishes. Of course, it's the Rattkin that have stolen it from him.
Don Barlone' is a LOT harder to "off" in this game than he is in Wizardry 7. (Didn't you kill him in Wiz 7, Scronan, and what happened, did someone resurrect the old josser?) I finally resorted to turning the play level down to "easy" (still the same amount of XP) and thank heavens my bard had the Siren's Wail from the graveyard, which made Barlone' go insane (and thus a LOT easier to hit). Also use Armormelt on him, and use "Haste" and Enchanted Blade on your party. He's very resistant to magic, so hit him with your best fighters and let your spellcasters cast party status magic (especially your priest).
I also got lucky in that Vi Domina K'O'd him with a lucky shot from a sling...my fighter was able to get in several multiple damage hits on him after that before he came to.
Cheers,
