Neera's quest (TOB) : stuck

I already posted this on the discussion sub-forum, but as I got indicated it was probably a bug, I'm reposting it here :
After killing Vicross at her estate, I fought Szass Tam and brought him near death quickly. He then offered to send me back, but I refused, he killed me and I loaded my save. The second time, I brought him near death quickly again and he then sent me back in the clearing without giving me the choice. I don't know if that is a bug or not.
Now, my real issue is that nothing is happening since then, Neera didn't say anything and the quest is not done in the quest log. I guess a dialog didn't kick off at that moment. Now, I've got no way to go back before the fight, I overwrote my save before realizing there was probably a problem. Would there be any way for me to fix this?

Do you have a save made before ringing the bell? It's not necessary, but would be helpful to save time on building a reproduction case.
It does appear as the speech he gave me before teleporting me out was something like enqenq alluded to in the other thread : he said something like "didn't you get enough punishment?".
C:SetGlobal("OHN_TOB_PLOT","GLOBAL",15)
i have a save file for this and is in the attached .rar file. I added a txt file with a few additional notes.
Hope you get this working. I really shouldn't have to be using a console command to get it back on track. but it seems to be functioning well as a workaround.
On a side note (that's mentioned in the .txt file) the little "cinematic movie" that is supposed to be shown when entering Vicross' estate, only shows for me AFTER Szass (i hate his name) teleports me back to the clearing.
Moving this to "Not an Issue". If you feel this should be moved back, please let me know.
For me, it wasn't solely an issue of the first few seconds - on some of those borked attempts, I was able to drop him before his protections went up; other times, it was a long hard slog before he teleported me away with no XP/done quest.
This one was REALLY frustrating, so I hope you can get it fixed. My save from right before we rang the bell is attached; the only thing I ever did between loading the save and ringing the bell was casting Haste (and I wonder if that might be contributing to the problem, as the time I finally got it to work, I didn't bother with the Haste).
I manually consoled the thingy posted up above, but that only gave me a journal entry and Neera talking to me; it didn't clear the quest or award anything. And because I'm dumb and quicksaved too much, my only save before this debacle currently is right before Neera first asked me to cast reckless dweomer, so I haven't gone to slog back through yet.
I refused to kill Vicross and attacked Szass on the spot before he was able to move a finger.
I found my party teleported back at the clearing without the possibility to go to Thay again in any way. The "Eight Staves" quest is unfinished.
It would not be a problem, but this prevents me to enter Chapter 10 because all quests have to be finished before doing that.
What should be done to move on?
