'I do not know what to do. The brigands told me to pay them three equal payments and that they would spare my workers and myself. I held my part of the bargain. Now they want more. I haven't anything left after sending workers to Buckland for supplies and the meagre rewards I can offer folk for helping out here and there.

'I cannot allow my workers to suffer for my mistakes. I fear I may need to stop work on the inn, but Chief-watcher Grimbriar is working against the brigands here... so I must ask. Would you be willing to help me send a message to these brigands?

'I hear that you have already done some work against the brigands before... I am sorry if I am mistaken. But, these are evil Men, and they must be stopped. If you are willing to help, could you return to the Old Sweetgrass Farm and send a message to these brigands? The Old Sweetgrass Farm is a short distance north-east of here.'

Adso Haybank awaits your return at his camp to the south-west of Old Sweetgrass Farm along the Great East Road.

You should return to Adso Haybank with news of your success.
