Umar Paladin Stronghold Quest

How do you complete the 1st paladin stronghold quest?

It took me about three days to make it to the Umar Hills after the quest was given and I was to help out some Paladins under seige. I've checked every square inch of the map with no luck. I think I read somewhere that somebody was supposed to take you to them when you first arrive on the map but this did not happen.

Did I just wait too long or what? It said I should "hurry" but it didn't say how long would be acceptable. There's no trace of them including any bodies or sign of a battle.

Is this going to screw-up my chances of joining the Order of the Radiant Heart?

[Accord]

When I first run at BGII I played as a cavalier and when the quest was assignment to me, I went there as soon as I left the building. By the time I reached Umar, someone escort me to the battle site.

Three days may be a bit too long, go back to the order and see what happens. But be prepare to load a game that is prior to the order giving you the quest.
