I noticed that the clerk in Town Hall that Jafar directs you towards (after you deliver his *spoiler*) is gone. Was she removed incidentally, or does that quest perhaps need a feature like the [Persuade] reward retuned? 8) Edit: Sorry, I was trying to put this in the DM Q&A, but for some odd reason it landed here. Hmm, maybe I do need more sleep...

This is a suggestion or a bug report, and chances are she was just partying it up with the Donricks last night in which case it isn't any of those, either. We move NPCs around in game all the time; if there isn't a clear reason for why a given NPC is missing, we probably just used it somewhere else and didn't put it back.
