Don't mine or herb, this will blow your disguise as well.
The laborer has a short patrol path near the entrance to the 'base' from the ramp closest to Private Weeks. The initiate is near the small pond of water; it'll look like it's casting a spell. The advisor is in the middle of the trashed-up building.
Be careful when entering the building because there's only one path to the middle of it, and if a hunter is inside, make sure you turn around quickly before it catches you.

What to do
Description
I don't know who they are, but I know they're hostile! I'm going to give you a disguise, and I want you to go in there and speak with three of them that I've observed as being 'chatty'. Talk with the initiate, the laborer, and the advisor. Just watch out; there're a few hunters in there who'll be able to see through your disguise and they look tough! And whatever you do, don't leave the village -- the disguise is kind of flimsy. If you lose your disguise, come back to me and I'll give you another.
