Trawling for Buckthorn

Objectives:

While speaking about her patient, choose the conversation “Griffin do that?” when speaking with her, to begin Secondary Quest: On Death’s Bed.

While speaking about her patient, choose the conversation “Looking for buckthorn” to ignore this quest. This quest continues.
