Hello,
When the story progressed to the point where Aelfgarstun was set on fire, I jumped on my horse and rode to the town, past the group that was meant to attack the Thegn. I battled the troops in Aelfgarstun, and the Thegn and his Dane friend arrived and were fighting with me. The last fighter was a Banneret(?) (part of the earlier group) and he was battling the Thegn when I jumped in to help. Before I took out the Banneret, he took out the Thegn(!), who had lost his sword and was laying on the ground. I was able to speak to him while he was on the ground, and said the line "The men who would see you burn are dead. Let's get these fires out." and then he stated "Agreed." At that point it should have started the cinematic for Aelfgarstun, but it did not. The Thegn was just laying there on the ground. After reloading the game, the Thegn was standing at the gate to Aelfgarstun. He has a blue dot above him when I use Odin's sight, but I am unable to speak to him. I have searched for any nearby enemies and am certain I took them all out.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the quest?
Thanks
