This quest always annoyed me as it punishes you for exploring prematurely - by removing dialogue and entire parts from the quest.

If you want to forgo missing out on the quest (in it's entirety), avoid using your witcher senses around the river (particularly next to drowners), avoid the griffin's nest and inspecting any random tracks/corpses. Alternatively, just rush to the garrison. accept the contract, then speak to the hunter and herbalist straight away.
