Chilly Creek

Okay, I'm in Act Three and clearly something is up with that place. But there is nothing in the quest log, and I can't find any trigger to set off. I just visited, to pick up donations from the villagers, and came across that memorial service for the drowned firstborn.

WITHOUT SPOILING, do I just need to wait, or am I overlooking something to start an actual quest?

Just wait. You'll get a very clear message when you should return.

You will get a quest to return later.

tbh I feel annoyed we have to wait so much.
I have played enough RPG to have a decent guess at what going around without the need of the aeon's eyes (and with them it's even easier)

I mean :
"village magically/miraculously protected from demons"
" no kids running around in the village"
" dolls hung in trees, they have no magicall properties whatsoever though"

and that was before act 3 and the talk of firstborns and the confirmation that the dolls are for mourning their deaths.

anyone with half a braincell that does some RPG experience can see the classic scheme here ....


Villagers are clearly sacrificing kids, in this case firstborns I guess, to an entity for protection. And this is obvious since the first meeting and it is already confirmed in act 3 tbh. Having to wait until act 5 to deal with it seems weird

Just because you have a strong hunch about things being off in the village doesn't mean that the villagers are just going to spill their secrets to you. Personally I like that there are some quests that take time to build up to a climax, and don't all involve you running in and killing a big-baddy 5 minutes after showing up. This one a is a slow build, and I find it a nice change of pace to visit a peaceful village.

Sure, you've figured out that something isn't right, but until the villagers are willing to share more, you don't have anything more to go on. Life is like that sometimes.
