Why that's just not true. The chieftain's son already said he'd help you "leave this place" if you helped him find the alchemist who could cure the sick imps. That seems like a hint to me.
Did he say that...I wasn't listening, what with the tibars attacking me!
At the risk of people replying about how 'linier' it'd be, I'd prefer if you had to go into the other areas like the spider and mushroom forests for some reason before you can find the alchemist and leave the act.
