Unable to prorgess with and/or abandon quest

The main storyline quest "Lord Errant" seems to be stuck for me - I was wandering around with a party member and she kept walking when I stopped in the cutscene. After the cutscene, I was still in the spot that I had started in, and it said that a party member was too far away.

Now, however, I can't seem to do anything about this. The map shows NPCs that I should be talking to, but they're in an inaccessible area, on the map but off of any visible terrain. I've walked around trying to find a way into the area, but there doesn't seem to be one.

How can I go about finishing this quest?

I disconnected during this one and had the same problem. I think there was a cave that led to that splotch in the middle of nowhere.

Steps:
We walked to the area marked with an exclamation mark and I began the cutscene after accepting the duty prompt. A cutscene happened, in which is said my character had been captured and thrown into a cell with his fellow. After the cutscene ended, I was still where I had initiated it originally, and the message "One or more of your party members is too far away" displayed. After that, I couldn't find a way to interact with the NPC's displayed on my journal quest map - "Cloudy-eyed Prisoner" and "Emotionless Prisoner".
