Before talking to Caius and joining up with the Blades to progress along the main quest, I had taken a good amount of time to explore and do other things. While do that, I had talked to the female orcish mage in the Mages Guild in Balmora, and noticed that she had later disappeared.
However, now Caius wants me to speak with her and gain information before I can continue on with the quest, yet she is nowhere to be found. I spoke with all the members of the mages guild, and there are no prompts to ask about her whereabouts, so I have been stuck on this for awhile. Does anyone know if this is a bug, or if she can be found somewhere else (If so, where?). It's been really frustrating to not be able to proceed with this quest because of this, and I'm not even sure if I can go any further in the game at this point, as far as the main plot is concerned.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

*raises a brow at Mooka*
... Yeah. Anyway, lol. This is a common problem. She seems to be the most likely NPC to disappear. From what I've gathered, she tends to walk through the walls or fall through the floor. You can do the same too. Put on something that fortifies speed (like the Boots of Blinding Speed.) Then run straight at a wall. You'll go right through. The start looking around in the void beyond, she might be around there.
If you're on the PC you can use the console command:
player-> placeatpc "sharn gra-muzgob" 1 1 1
Try searching the forums for more detailed answers.

I don't think she's placed properly or something.
I've noticed that most of the time when I look at her she seems to drop from a few inches off the ground... I think I've seen her do it a few things (pop up and drop down).
My guess is that this might be a problem with how she's placed in the game (and the engine is trying to deal with it) or some sort of collision problem with her and the stuff on the shelves next to her.
Has anyone else noticed this and does the patch correct it? (he askes as he waits for the XB GOTY verison to come out).
