A Missing Master

Objectives
Find Master Ashton.
 * Master Ashton found
 * Speak to Master Ashton

Description
Master Ashton had me grab some healing supplies and run to Mayor Royston when those things attacked town. He didn't make it behind the barricade.

But if he's alive, and he's just crazy enough he might be, he's probably holed up in his cottage. With caustic compounds. And explosives.

Look, why don't you go check out his basement and I'll stay out of the blast radi- I mean I'll go see if the garden can be salvaged.

Try not to look flammable.
