The Forbidden Pasture
The farmer Bengar has forbidden the shepherd Balthasar from leading his sheep to the pasture plateau. To help Balthasar, the hero should complete Torlof's quest 'Drive Off the Militia' first as a guildless hero in Chapter 1. After convincing Bengar to allow access, Balthasar rewards the hero with Sheep Pelts. In later chapters this quest can only be completed as a mercenary or Dragon Hunter. Militia members and novices cannot report back to Balthasar.

200-600 XP (chapter-dependent) + 10 Sheep Pelts
