This one is an odd one, since the Blacksmith is missing on your screen, and he's only ever supposed to be gone at night. If you try to enter his house anytime other than night, he talks to you... meaning it's possible he fell through the ground and is trying to talk to you from offscreen somewhere. But you'd be able to his the action key a few more times just to progress past it, I think. We'll look at it though!
Okay, Same door so I dunno what caused it this time. I messed around with Kal late at night. Then went to Arakarn for his little dinner. After that it seemed like a 'new day' It was showing 4:00 something when I went outside to give Garret the box to pick but he wasn't there. I saved right before checking anything else. Touched the door. Froze up the game. Weird thing was, when I reloaded that save Garret was back so... dunno what the overall deal was.
