I was able to get to the grove with the druid but unable to slay goatmen in order to release the deer that is trapped.
There is no counter and the quest is unable to be completed which leads to druids not able to use their class skills and upgrades due to this problem.
Fix this.
Work around discussed below, but yes very annoying!
Also heard that swapping world tiers fixes this as well.
this worked for me (unlike the other tips)
