The Letter and the Ravens Eye are both on the table! I panicked searching my bags, figuring i'd combine the two, or something along those lines but couldn't find them. After a bit more panicking, some flailing about, and a curse or two, i looked down on the table and found the items there to use.

Completing this also gets you Valeeria as a follower.
