Brifard is concerned that the servant he was escorting has not returned yet.
'Ho, there! Have we met before? Your face is familiar... perhaps I have seen you in Stangard. No matter. Am I to assume you have been sent to find out what is taking us so long?
'You see, several of our servants have gone missing over the past few weeks while gathering reeds for Stangard. None have returned. I was sent myself to watch over a peasant today... to make sure we do not have any more problems.
'The man I escorted is taking longer than expected... I had to return here to attend to some personal matters after bringing him to the river's shore. Go search for him. He had better have a good reason for working so slowly.'
Brifard mentioned that the servant was gathering reeds along the shore of the Great River to the north-east.
Brifard wants you to investigate the river's edge and find out what is taking the servant so long.
Brifard is at his camp to the north-east.
Having found the remains of the servant, you should return to Brifard.
