If you get stuck on the "Talk to Tox" step, there is a puppet in the same room on the left that you gotta interact with before he will let you complete the quest.
This NPC is hostile for me, and I cannot talk to him. Has anyone found a workaround.

Description
<The nerubian keeps her voice low, a careful eye on the guards behind you.> The Weaver sent you, yes? I arrived to petition the Magistrate's approval for Ascension--to infiltrate high society, of course. But he's missing. A rather large inconvenience. I need to ask around. You're just what I've been waiting for! You may pretend to be my... servant. Pet? Whatever makes it more palatable to you. I so rarely get to work alongside a friend. We will have fun together, fellow spy.

The Puppetmaster is our best lead for finding the Magistrate. But is it just me, or did those puppets seem... horrifically lifelike? If this artist is behind the Magistrate's disappearance, he certainly isn't just off to see a puppet show. We should investigate the Puppetmaster's workshop.
