According to the Bridge Master, there is a Charlatan in the town pretending to be an Alchemist and offering a cure to the people of Serene that has devastating side effects. He asks that if you would mind, before you depart, looking into and apprehending the charlatan in the streets.

Go towards the marked area on your map. Once you are in the vicinity of the charlatan's shop, a cutscene will trigger. Walk up and question the charlatan about his potion, ultimately ending on insisting he drink it to prove it is not poison for people. He tries to sneak a bottle from his pocket but you catch him. No matter, he continues to deflect so there must be another way.. Sneak around behind his shop and go through his things. You will find several things of interest:
A group of very intricate notes, looking to belong to an actual alchemist
A note from the hotel the charlatan is staying at
A box of vials of his potion.
The notes of an alchemist is odd, considering the bridge master told you this man was a Charlatan, but with the vial in hand you can once again confront the charlatan and try to get him to drink. This time he will disappear, fleeing the scene before he drinks the potion.


Using the note you found with his things, locate the charlatan at the inn in town and confront him inside his room. Here the "Charlatan" will tell you the truth, Sahrin the bridge master, lied to you. He is indeed an alchemist and though he lied about the potion his intentions were pure. He used to study as an alchemist in the bridge alliance looking for a cure to Malichor until he discovered they were testing things on children, leading to many deaths. When he objected he was outcast and branded a traitor, hunted by the Bridge alliance ever since. Here you can decide to arrest him or choose to help him escape. If you arrest him, return to Sahrin and inform him of the arrest. Ending the quest Otherwise, you will have to find a way to get the mob downstairs to disperse.

There are 3 ways to disperse the mob:
Offer a Settlement (cost 6 health potions)
Use the Intuition Talent to convince the mob they need to leave to see doctors
Demand the mob leave (likely incites violence)

Once the mob is gone, return to the Alchemist and tell him to leave Serene, never to return. He agrees and leaves. Now return to Sahrin, and decide to lie about your decision to save the Alchemist or confront him about his lie. Confronting Sahrin about his lie will likely lead to a decrease in standing with the Bridge Alliance.
