SPOILERS All NPCs in the Underdark Grymforge disappeared

[Dragonic]

So I got into the Underdark Grymforge (where all the Dwarves are) and I got to the Adamantine Forge, killed Grym, forged my item and then went back to the Dwarf area.
All NPCs are gone, even the Dwarves that I killed their corpses aren't around anymore.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Is this because of using the forge and it being an intended side-effect?
Is there any other explanation to this?

Same problem right now...

[Giliarwe]

it's your fault :) they disapear when Nere... dies?

[ttvMissIndustrial]

So it has to be a bug, I went back to the "underdark, and the npcs were there. then i went back to grymforge, Everyone still gone. Decided to proceed with the story because what else can I do? Left Grymforge/act 1 and met a new npc.

Really? could make sense as he was dead when i went looking for everyone. However as i tried to leave for the moonrise tower, that little dark gnome slave guy popped up interrupting me in dialogue, then vanished again. Thats what makes me think it's a bug.

this happened to me and i was able to replicate, each time just going to camp and long resting caused it

Yup, long rests are what does it, sadly. I went to this thread after having the same issue.

[MKUltros]

Same thing happened here. I went a few saves back (1-2 hours) to try and fix it, but it’s still doing the same thing.

[Geawiel]

I'm having the same issue right now. I tried reloading and still nothing. I had 1 NPC appear in the druid camp, but no others. Oddly, I can hear them talking.

If you take too long Nere dies and all dwarves leave

[Gr33d]

Same issue lead me to this thread. That's annoying. I was loving the Grymforge area.

[Rico 444]

This is very annoying but they apparently just leave after some time. Very counterproductive in my opinion.

As soon as I came to Grymforge I went STRAIGHT to Nere, saved him and then killed him. 0 breaks, took me like 20 minutes in total. After the fight everyone just disappeared

Along with their saves.

I talked every durgar. Then i killed them...one by one...group by group. Only the stonemason as trader and his assistant remain...sadly the assistant did not join in one encounter where he was supposed to. I made a good tactic, positioned well and killed them horribly one by one. Also drow poison works on them:P (Normal poison damage is reduced so dont use basic toxin)

[BlueishMushroom]

Same

[Mundus]

No this can’t be a bug and this can’t be anything to do with Nere. All of them are gone but when I went to the door a door a Dwarve started talking to me telling me I needed the Moonlantern. When I was finished he disappeared again. This is also after I recovered the broken Moonlantern.
