From the river crossing, it’s a short yomp northwest, into the woods to the wrecked Trading Post. Head north into the undergrowth, climbing a small hill and looking for a rock fissure and gorge that allows you to drop down into the earth. A small cave lies below, where three bandits have Liam’s kidnapped herbalist. After swift, one-sided combat, you rescue the Herbalist, who asks if you’ll accompany her to Coronata. Oblige, as you automatically arrive back at the Winery, and can purchase from her as she becomes a new merchant. In addition, you can ask about the “plague” that has befallen the area.
