Lioness kills Sul off-screen and resolves The Old Queen and the New King

I was doing The Old Queen and the New King quest.

For some reason... when I walked into an open space area in the North of Galawain's Maw it triggered a fight between Sul and a Lion Clanswoman and a Lioness which was enough to kill Sul and automatically resolve the quest...

Here is a screenshot of the battlelog: http://imgur.com/1UAkZOU

I haven't done this part of the game before so I actually still don't know where Sul is in relation to my party.

N.B. I quick-saved and restarted the whole game and loaded earlier in the dungeon (right after killing the first Lion mob as you come through the first door) due to game lag.

EDIT:

Here is where Sul died: http://imgur.com/6IDF6hY

Here is the location on the map: http://imgur.com/yzCm1V0

Seems like the wrong location but as I said, this is my first play through so I don't know...

I could continue doing the quest as normal it seems - I fought and killed Oernos and the bears - but I'm not sure what other options might have been available with Sul alive.
