Are you sure http://camelotherald.wikia.com/wiki/Quest:Invaders_from_Afar_(Albion) is the subsequent quest ? Because I'm quite sure I started that without finishing the quest described here .
And aren't there consequences choosing to which npc you talk ?
I'm a new player using the trial now so I just did these quests . 151.66.29.3 03:15, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
