The following quests are interwoven and affect each other: Alvin, Berengar, in the Heat of the Day, Ripples.

Ripples only gets so far before the only thing Julian has to say to you is that he's trying to plan his wedding, this leaves you with no main quest to advance except Alvin, because In the Heat of the Day also stalls.

I'm not entirely sure how or where Berengar (quest dialogue) fits in, but I know that once you Advance Alvin to the point that the boy is standing on the river bank (assumed) or in the ruins (confirmed, multiple playthroughs), the friendly priest *will not appear* at all. Period. You will only ever get evil priests, some drowners, a few wyvern, and wolves in Lakeside at that point. On the bright side, you can leave things "stuck" this way as long as you please, which provides the maximum pop of centipedes and wolves in the fields, as well as some lovely pops of fish folk and drowners and wolves (and a few wyverns) on the Lakeside -- not too terrible way to grind xp and alchemy ingredients (the Lakeside mobs except for the few wyverns were only +1xp each for me at this point, but I wanted vodyenoi bladders so.....)

Once you advance the Alvin quest another step, the next time you go to Lakeside, as you get near the girl, she'll push you into a cutscene where she tells you the fish priest is back. It goes from there depending on your choices.
