Same here, during the quest I tried to avoid the road and get straight to the cave without triggering the cutscene, as you get too far of the "right" path the older druid leaves you, but once you reach the entrance of the cave you still get the cutscene with the older druid, Ramund and the Succubus.

After that once you get in the cave, the cutscene with Ramund sleeping in the cave plays, and you can kill and loot the succubus a second time if you killed her on the road. This is probably because your current objective is "Return to the druid and continue looking for the missing apprentice", so you're not considered doing the quest.

The objective get stuck, but you can still finish properly the quest.
