I'm having the same problem. Killed the Animancer, freed the prisoner, suggested that Kolsc should take over, and then I snuck down with my robes, through the scriptorium. Then I did either 1) Talked to Raedric immediately, without finding his wife's body. If the Watcher died during the fight, he would not respawn upon finishing. My chanter's chants would remain at 3 (or whatever) and if he'd summoned Skeletons, they wouldn't despawn. Basically, a semi-combat state. 2) Found body first, then talked to Raedric. Same as above from then on. 3) Found body, told Raedric I'd kill Kolsc, then changed my mind. 4) Same as 3, excpet not finding the body first. Each time I fought on the platform, no cheesing. It was on Easy difficulty too (I know, I suck). Oh BTW, I took the vines up the castle, THEN went down to the sewers to kill the Animancer.
