what happened: 1] you failed to save the person on the first trail that told you where to go, so the quest sent you to the woman bandit camp. 2] you failed to attain the grimore location from the woman bandit leader because a] you or your pawns are a man and they don't like men b] you or your male pawns weren't wearing female garb, "tricking" her into believing you are a woman

basically, you're screwed out of this quest if you failed both of the above. But you can go directly to the male bandit camp and pick up the tomb without talking to anyone. you don't even need to start the quest to pick up the grimore. it's all yours, but you'd need google to know where it is without the two above possible quest progressions.
