i thought i was in cheats and spoilers, very sorry.

the issue is this:

i miscounted and i do only have 23 stones, 2 of which are stacked.

i have visited all twenty four locations at least twice and still only have twenty three stones.

1. i did not get the stone before the empire blew up dark brotherhood sanctuary and i think i went back after that and picked it up because it's not on astrids table now. ?? if it's there after the above then i got it.

2. i forgot to get the stone in the dwemer museum ( hard answers) and so i completed (darkness returns) before going back to the museum because i read if i re open the museum before completing darkness retuns it will kill the quest.
so i went back and restarted hard answers again, walked in and picked up the stone and it registered in my inventory. i turned around and walked back out. so that quest opened for the second time, i am thinking will stay open for the rest of the game?

comments?

i broke back in to thalmor to make sure i got that one and it's not there so i guess did

i read that sometimes the stone doesn't show up in fellglow but i think i got that way early in the game, level11

it's not there now.

so i don't know what to do. been everywhere 2-3 times and still have 23 stones xbox360

can anyone help??

and again sorry about posting in the GENERAL it was a mistake.
thanks for your time and comments
