No more zombies in Redcliffe

[Original title: We don't go to Redcliffe any more. Changed, alas, to something actually descriptive.]

So, I'm trying to defend Redcliffe from the zombie horde coming out of the castle. Unfortunately, I've killed all of the zombies that I can see, and no more seem to be coming, but the NPCs seem to think that something still needs to happen. I can go up to the area where the green mist is, all the way to the castle gate, but I can't go through, and there aren't any obvious plot markers or triggers that I still need to hit. Is this a bug, or did I miss something?

I had that happen before, search the entire zone for stray zombies that got stuck.

My stray zombie was in the lower part of the town, you know when you go down that hill to the campfire with the guards defending it, keep going straight and to the right around the houses, that's where mine is. I have also heard of zombies getting stuck in the mist on the top part, and the left side of the camp fire as you go down the path.

Basically search every nook and cranny of the zone. It's not very big, so you'll find it in a couple of minutes.

I figured out what I did wrong, but I had to reload from a save in order to fix it.

At the start of the battle by the windmill, I moved forward very quickly, before the oil barrels had a chance to light. This caused the barrels not to light, since I was in their area of effect at the time, which evidently borked the other triggers for the rest of the scene.

Moral of the story: sit tight and let the zombies come to you.
