From being face-down in their trough to getting them away from their trough, this is proving to be quite a pig-centric adventure.

It was one of many things on Hilda's market stall.
Not so fast - that plum-flavoured alcohol isn't for sale, it's a prize for lottery winners.

We learned that it's basically a game of chance - players need to find a specially marked acorn to win, and there's one in the box next to Hilda.

Follow all dialogue paths and you'll get a nudge in the right direction - the signpost contains the relevant quote.
After learning about Hilda's favourite song, talk to the nearby musician and ask him to play it. How you ask is up to you!

Talk to the musician again to request another song change, then play the lottery again.
Don't forget your prize! The plum spirit is exactly what we need to make the pigs a bit more pleasant. ?
Get the plum spirit from your inventory and use it on the pigs' trough to placate them.
Reach into the trough, and the third leaf is yours! All that's left now is to get the fourth one back from the bullies.
