Runyd feels the presence of the voice and also sees that your soul is healthy for someone who has died and came back to life. She is unsure how you came to be unmarked by death.

Make your way to the Grinning Balarok in Paradis and you will hear people loudly talking to and taunting a dwarf, that dwarf is Marious, approach them and speak with Marius. Kai says he is the best tracker he knows, you continue to watch Marius and the other two men argue. You can choose to engage in a fight with the men or talk it out with them.

Once the two walk away, speak with Marius. You tell him about the incident and he will have to check the crime scene and find their tracks, after speaking to him, he joins your party as your companion. To take Marius to the crime scene, you have to go up the tower where the quest tracker points to. You will end up at a balcony overlooking the entrance of the town, and a Flask of Poison on the rails.

Follow the quest marker to the Apothecary located in a back alley to find that there are some men threatening the apothecary, approach them to speak with them. The Apothecary begs for your help while the men insist you just leave, you can learn about the situation and end up in a fight with the men. You will need to take out the men but once you have done so, Thalla the Taskmaster will appear and you will need to defeat him.

Speak with Grysca the apothecary and show him the poison flask, he tells you that the oil is distilled from Saint Atoray, which is a berry native to the Living Lands. He is unwilling to tell you who he sold it to but he does tell you more about the berry and that it's used in religious rituals, Marius suggests visiting the Temple of Ondra to take a look, while Kai suggests seeking Claviger Eamund in his estate for more information.

After speaking with Grysca, it will be nighttime and Thalla's men will be on the lookout for you, so you will need to sneak around and not be seen or attack them when encountered.

I want to help the Living Lands, even to the detriment of outsiders." to convince her to give you information.
