TheWoWDBQuestion the local
idiotsvillagers.You will ask them "How can you prove someone is not a witch?"
They will reply with statements such as:
"I've heard a witch's flesh is impervious to flame. That's why we hang them when they're found guilty!"If you want to convince me, put a torch to her!"
"Back in the old days, we'd weigh them down and throw them into the river! If they resurfaced, we'd know they'd made an unholy pact and they'd get the noose! That's the only way to absolve a witch in my eyes!
"Well, my ma always told me that a witch could never cry no matter how hurt or sad they got. Miss Waycrest didn't cry one bit even after being told she would be put on trial. She must be a witch!
Or the ever popular:
"I... I'm not sure...
There is a rumor that a witch can never sick up since their belly is constantly emptied by the dark spirits living within her. I'm not sure how you could prove that though..."
*Mild Spoiler Warning*
Lucille Waycrest: "Well. Those are certainly some interesting beliefs. I think it's safe to rule out fire and drowing, don't you think? Looks like that leaves us with three tests..."

Seems like a direct reference to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
Although, I did not see any mention of a witch weighing as much as a duck. ;-)I have attached a clip for your viewing pleasure:

What to do
Description
Witchcraft has long lived in the superstitions of the people here. It is only recently that some of these superstitions have become reality. According to tradition, one who is tried for witchcraft is allowed to choose the means by which they are tested from among the requests of her peers. The villagers here no doubt have some strange beliefs of what witches can and cannot do. Speak with them, and see what we can do to prove my innocence.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Case of Ambush
There is more to worry about in these woods than simple beasts. Our enemy employs constructs of wicker and bone that can rip a man apart. Fortunately for us, these constructs are not very perceptive. Take these traps and set them up throughout the woods behind us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Pungent Solution
The first test should be simple enough. While I may not do so often, I am certainly capable of crying. Though to be honest, I've never had to cry on cue. Maybe you could help with that, though. Nearby there is an onion field that belonged to one of the local farmers.
