For the second campaign in a row, I have two Daxuses.
Might mis-remember a detail cause this was hours ago, but sequence was something like, agree to hire him, fight (tell him to kill his former employers, win, take the girl to collect the reward, and go back to the beginning of the sequence. Looks like arriving to collect the reward triggers the find-the-hostage-and-fight event instead of the reward event.
edit -- sorry, should have posted in support.
