Hey. No bug, just the quest text is a bit.. confusing, I guess, for new players.
Will the Wagoner talks as if he was in the commons, still, which might be confusing to new players. Him saying "I wouldn't go exploring around the rest o' the Commons - this is a dangerous place! Now laws here... bandits and monsters and worst! But just go straight to Ticker and you'll be safe enough...." might confuse a new player, as he's no longer standing in the commons.
