Go to Aelfgar's estate - Aelfgarstun. You will find Aelfgar in one of the houses. He will give you a bow that once belonged to Hunwald's father, which he left with him after one of their hunting trips - Hunbeorht's Bow. Afterwards Aelfar will invite you for a bear hunt.
Ride with Aelfgar until you reach a small lake where you will meet another person who will take part in the hunt - Grim.
Enter the cave and approach the horse carcass lying there. When you do this, a few wolves will run out of a side corridor.
Kill all the wolves. Aelfgar will help you do that.
Run through the second tunnel out of the cave...
...and then you will see that Aelfgar's estate is on fire.
Run or ride to the village and kill any Saxon soldiers you come across there.
When you get rid of all the enemies then talk to Aelfgar. He will thank you for your help and this quest will end.
The bear you were supposed to hunt will come to the village, so you can help to kill it if you want.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest Where the Stone Falls.
