I wanted to get both the authentic illithium and the phony alloy--so I pressured the Ore Merchant into divulging her source, and then asked her for the cheap stuff. She said she'd be back with the alloy the next day, and while I was waiting, I went & did the quests to get the real thing. The next day came, no Ore Merchant. I decided to give her an extra day, and did a few more little quests here & there. So now it's Day 3, and still no Ore Merchant. Is there a flag in the game that keeps you from obtaining both types of illithium, or did the chick skip town on me?

Oh, and P.S: Does Illithium have anything to do with Illithids (Mindflayers)?
