Bugs
Edit
It is possible that a bug can occur during this quest where you get the wrong clue in the correct/incorrect location. If this is the case, just go to the location of every clue, and you will find a clue which, while incorrect, will allow you to continue the quest.
Finishing the fight with the Baroness or leaving Blackmarsh without first finishing this quest may make it unplayable. Upon returning after doing other quests, a bug occurs where the player cannot click on the clue areas given. Going back to the skeleton will not reset the quest. Having the tattered piece of paper in the player's equipment seems to produce no different result when this occurs.
If you cannot click on the clue areas, go to your journal and set this quest as your active quest. Then you should be able to click on the clue areas. You may need to do this after each new clue in order to click on the next one.
