Offer to barter with him and he’ll have two Tomes for sale. You can offer to find him some ironbark, so do so and agree. Head back into the camp and find the merchant, Varathorn. If not, which is more likely as Survival is a pretty useless Skill to waste points on, you will be of no help and the quest will immediately complete. If successful, you will be able to find this halla’s mate in the forest. If you have any points in Survival, you can examine and calm the halla. Speak to Elora and ask her about the halla.

After the cutscene between them, look to your left for the next quest, down by the lake. It’s not very hard to do so, but if she refuses you’ll need to bring back a pelt from the forest so that Cammen can win her over. Speak to her and, when prompted, say she refused to give Cammen her hand. Agree to help him and choose to attempt to persuade Gheyna in return for a book. You’ll get the chance to intimidate or persuade him into telling you. Speak with him and ask about his problem. There are four quests available to you in this area.

Attempt to open it to be given a chance to use your persuasion, though you pretty much need maxed persuasion to succeed.
