To Elaborate on What Has Been Said . . .
The Creeper is in Caldera. I cannot remember the name of the building he is in (Something Manor), but that town isn't that big. I'm pretty sure it's the second house on the right after you enter the Southern entrance. I personally prefer the Creeper over the Mudcrab. True, the Mudcrab has twice as much cash, but he's A) hard to find, and B) hard to get to. Given, once you do find him you can use a Mark to teleport back to him . . . but it's a wasted Mark (IMHO). I'd much rather leave my Mark near the Urishilaku camp, since there's no easy way to get to that area.
The trick with the Creeper (and the Mudcrab, should you go through that route) is to pad him up first. Try to find things that fall into blocks of five thousand gold. Skooma works best from my experience. Then, once you need to sell some of your more expensive items, sell him the item, then buy back enough items until your Total Sold is down to about five thousand. Then sleep for twenty hours. There are some bedrolls on that floor. Don't worry about the Orcs: they don't press charges.
To Corona,
There's a bug in alot of people's games that causes that character to despawn, or "Pop." I think there's a problem with the architecure of the building that allows here to "fall" through a seem. It actually happened to me once or twice.
Long story short? You're screwed. You'll have to start over. Hopefully, you're not too far along.

This is the correct way to get the gold. I prefer the mudcrab merchant, but to each his own.
Oh, instead of sleeping, you can just wait 24 hours. All you do is hit the button to sleep while standing up, and it will say that sleeping in the streets is illegal, but will give you the option of waiting.
Anyone try the command creature or humanoid spell effect to get creeper or the mudcrab merchant to follow you? I hadn't thought of that, but it might work to get them to a better location.
too far in for my taste to start over
Wow, glad i decided to come on and check this thread out tonight, last few posters have been very helpful.
I guess i'm going to have to kill the blades guy to alter the worlds progression. Atleast thats what it said when i did it last week, but was afraid to continue down that path or save the game for that matter.
ps. don't you guys find that spell stuff too complicate to learn, or as they say enchantment. I'd rather be just a warrior and use Magic scrolls to get out of tough spots..
