got to the last stages of my first game.  went the questing route and for some reason non of the epic quest locations were working.  In one quest I was able to get to the combat and after defeating my foe was able to continue delving deeper.  Finally, after a few rounds of fighting and going deeper into the dungeon the quest just quit on me.  it said "now it's time to explore the castle"  or something of a very very similar nature.  however, nothing happened.  no new area spawned and no more options or even a reward.  the other quests just vanished when i would click on the button that tells the game you want to do the quest.
