Gone But Not Forgotten

Journey to the northeastern corner of Gustfields territory, and locate the noticeboard just next to the signpost for Brunwich. Amid the notes is a contract (but not of the monster-hunting kind) regarding a missing Halfling apprentice named Folkert. It is written by a Halfling herbalist living southwest of this location, in the Herbalist’s Hut just northeast of Oxenfurt itself.

You may recognize this place as having an extra-large cellar, which is useful for conducting clandestine meetings during Main Quest: Open Sesame. But you’re here about the notice; tell the Halfling this and he tells a tale of woe. After sending Folkert to the troublingly-named Deadwight Wood, Otto the herbalist hasn’t heard from him for well over a week, and is understandably worried. Agree to find this light-haired Halfling.
