WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK
Inquisitor here refers to the NPC, not the player mastery. Do not leave for the Blood Grove or Fort Ikon: both the quest giver and objective are in Homestead. After reporting to Captain Somer, speak to Inquisitor Creed by the nearby command table.

If the quest is unavailable, confirm that you turned in Reaping What You Sow to Captain Somer. Once accepted, stay in Homestead and speak to Inquisitor Creed near the command table close to Somer.
This Base Game Act 3 main quest requires no DLC. It is completed entirely through dialogue and has no timer, failure branch, or permanent missable outcome. The title refers to Creed's office as an inquisitor, not the Ashes of Malmouth mastery.
