One of the ways to get the quartermaster to move is letting out the hens... | And telling him about it |

Option 1: A female character may attempt to seduce him.
Option 2: Pay him a couple of ducats, to turn his head the other way.

4.2 Take the wine to Yasmin
Once you have the wine take it back to Yasmin. Give her the bottle and she will tell you that you've passed the test and will get help from the witches. You will also receive an owl skull, which will come in handy later.
