TheWoWDBThe best way to get this quest done is to go stand at the cliff to the immediate left of the Tirna Scithe instance portal at 35.1, 55.3 and pull the [npc=172079] up burst it down loot it and run away from the other elite that you pull with it. Then proceed to your right back to Root-Home take the pathway to the left of the flightmaster and take the pathing under the root at 34.7, 53.9 go to your right after passing under the root wait for the patrol and go snag The Broken Spear and get out without aggroing anything.

The area consists mainly of elites in paires; pretty hard. The satchel dropped for me from [npc=172079], she stands in a clearing with two (normal) adds.
Don't forget to pick up the spear for The Broken Spear with the ?-mark over it on the road at the beginning of the area from the flightmaster.
You can actually pull the elite mobs back to root-home near the flight way-point, where the guards will help you defeat the elites. Much easier than fight them on your own.

Description
I sent Ara'lon to steal a witch's satchel from the Drust... a dangerous task from which he has yet to return. The Drust's nightscreamers carry many reagents we need to perform the ritual. We cannot proceed without one. You must go to the Oaken Assembly to procure one of their satchels... and find Ara'lon, if you can.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nox Root
In order to perform the ritual, I will need some nox root from Darkreach. It is a unique plant that only grows within soil that has been corrupted by Drust magic. Darkreach lies to the west, not far from my den. What was once a peaceful, verdant grove is now filled with blight and ruin.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Broken Spear
<The shattered remains of a sylvari spear litter the ground. You recognize the spear as belonging to Ara'lon. This confirms that Ara'lon was here. Unfortunately, he is nowhere to be found. Lord Herne will want to know of your discovery.>
