Dual Strike - Glitched Much?

So if any of you have recently created a new Assassin, you may or may not have encountered a problem with the Primary Quest, Dual Strike. When you speak to Panaku, he'll run forward as he's supposed to, but then he stops as soon as he hits the beach. The goal of the quest is to assassinate a Tengu in the village of Aerie, conveniently located nearby. However, when I run onward without Panaku, the Tengu claim that the target has already been killed. As you may or may not have guessed, this makes completing the quest a bit difficult, thus making it impossible to move onward in the story line.

Anyone else encountered the same thing? And if you have, have you managed to find a way around it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gracias :]

I experienced that problem earlier. When I dropped the quest Rampaging Yetis, the problem seemed to have been resolved (also, I didn't have to dodge yeti on the way) but that may not be everyone's issue.

For that matter, I can't seem to complete Lo Sha's Gift (no quest indicator and the chest doesn't spawn) or Track Down Brother Pe Wan (he just isn't there).

Ah, that did it. Just needed to drop Rapaging Yeti's. How strange.
