Description
I believe I see Master Ashton in a cage. He must be freed! Those witches with the long masks appear to be in charge. I bet they would have the means to open his cage. I will remain here to protect Apprentice Webb and keep the area secure.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Odds and Ends
Master Ashton's going to probably need something bracing once we get him free. I know of a quick potion guaranteed to get anyone to snap out of it, but I'm going to need a few things first. Those wicker dogs down there have some organic parts I can use and the witches are carrying bags of reagents.
