She looks pensive, continuing to sort through papers, putting them into piles. "Well, the Croppers are up to something big, that's for certain. There have been disappearances. Orphans, widows, homeless, travelers. Anyone who might not be missed immediately. I tried to bring my concerns to the guard, but we just had a dragon take roost nearby, so they've been dismissed as victims. No one wants to get close enough to look for remains."

To ask where the dragon is, put a 1 in the subject line.
To ask what the Croppers might be doing, put a 2.

"A dragon? How terrible." While it seems like Sister Winifred believes the Croppers are responsible for the disappearances, Christine doesn't wish to discount the dragon either. Even if the dragon has nothing to do with it, Christine thinks she should know where it is so she can alert the rest of the group.

"Whereabouts is this dragon?"

“Hm? Oh, yes, in the fens,” she says, gesturing in a vague direction. “The Black Fens. No one really goes there anyway. It’s not on the main road and all that’s been there in recent years is trees and a ruined bit of the keep, maybe some wild druffalo. A few farmers have had to harvest early and abandon their fields until someone comes and drives it off, but fortunately most of them still got enough to get through the winter.”

To ask about other locations, put a 1 in the subject line.
To offer assistance with the dragon, put a 2.

This makes Christine wonder if these victims of disappearances could have all randomly crossed the dragon's path in the Black Fens if no one tends to go there. Perhaps the lead with the Croppers will bear more fruit.

Besides, Christine can't make an offer on behalf of the Inquisition to take down the dragon until she talks to the others first. They aren't exactly prepared to deal with one at the moment.

"And the other areas around Crestwood? Have these disappearances occurred in one certain area or all over?"

"I'm afraid I don't know. If you need maps of the area to search with, you can ask Conall. He's a farmer, lives up near Three Trout Pond. He has the best maps I'm aware of, they show all the caves and hills in the area. I'm sure he'd be happy to help."

She looks up from her work to face you. "Now, is there anything else the Inquisition needed from us? I'm afraid I'm quite busy."

You're done with Sister Winifred! You learned that people are going missing, and that Conall might have maps of the hills. You also have the option of sticking around and helping Winifred with her work. This may affect how the quest turns out.

"Thank you for the information. I have no wish to take up any more of your time." But though she has some information, Christine doesn't immediately move away. She thinks of how she is sometimes drowning in work at the healers' tents, and so she extends an offer.

"Is there anything with which you would like an extra hand? I could deliver any message you might have since I will need to meet up with my group at some point anyway. Or, well, if you think of something else. It seems you have much on your plate today, and I did cut into your work time."

"Oh, that would be such a help," Winifred says, putting a hand to her chest. "Go and see Mother Mag, just over there," she says, turning to point. "If you've an hour or two to spare I'm sure she could use an extra pair of hands. Maker go with you, friend, and I pray you find what the Inquisition is here to seek."
