I saw Orson outside in the middle of town, I started a conversation with them and they asked me what i was doing in Aldric's shop. The game then proceeded to transport us to what it thought was the appropriate location - the store room inside Aldric's shop. Forutnately I have a key so if Aldric was not present, I could still exit, but otherwise the potential is there that you would be trapped. This may fall under the category of a bug, where Aldric's shop location you get taken to is the storeroom rather than the main shop room
