In the bandit camp I got a quest to recover an axe.
I accidentally sold the axe to a merchant. He doesnt have it in his inventory anymore.
Is there anything I can do ? Loading a savegame where I havent sold the axe would mean I have to do some hours of gameplay again...
I'm not sure if there are followup quests in the bandit camp. This was the only quest and I screwed it up

Why did the axe appear in my normal inventory and not in quest items?

EDIT: Is there a way to cheat the item back?
