The player must speak to at least 2 NPCs among the following scattered around the camp, and then report back to Deneld:
When reporting back to Deneld, he will ask you three questions; the correct answer (option 1) only appears if you have spoken to the right NPC. If you cannot answer all three questions correctly, he sends you away to find the remaining NPCs.
