Thank you for the feedback. I have been temple trekking for quite a while now. I tried carrying boots and cap with me thinking maybe that would stop the multiple drops, but it didn't. I have tried different combinations of people and routes to no avail. I will keep at it, but I am not happy about it. Ironpants.
I have finished the quest but have forgotten how to get back to the troll roof top to plant herbs in the disease free patch. I am old and forgetful so some help would be appreciated.
