I was doing a couple quests for the Temple of Kynareth, and they sent me to find an archaeologist who had disappeared. When I found him, he said he had gotten lost for a whole week. Normally, I'd be sympathetic to that claim, considering what Daggerfall dungeons can be like, but in this case he was literally one hundred feet from the exit. Seriously. He could have found his way out just by wandering, since the only path from the place he was exited within easy sight of the dungeon exit. I'm not sure why the Temple was so enthusiastic to get him back, but hey.

I'm not sure whether he somehow really doesn't know anything about the order that he's the leader of, or whether he thinks he's fooling anyone by claiming he doesn't. <_< (Also, Thanelle has only just met him so I don't know what that alchemist bit is about.)
