One of the people you are looking for is a woman named Adina Masyan. She is supposed to be somewhere in town. You are supposed to tell her "a debt is owed".
One part of the spell to restore your family to you is the web of a phase spider. You have heard reports of them being in the deep woods.
Time: High noon
Chance, duty, wanderlust, or a search for answers has led you to the small town of Oakhollow. It is a small, close-knit farming community at the edge of an ancient forest. You have come here in mid-autumn, with the harvest in full swing. It is Market Day, meaning the town square is crowded with merchant stalls and people looking to buy and sell goods. The scents of fresh-baked bread, apples, and roasting meats waft through the air.
some things of note:
-at the very edge of the trees there appears to be some kind of shrine. You can see two animal statues, and baskets of offerings.
-Along the road at the entrance of town there is another shrine. The statue is of a coiled snake. Coins, bracelets, pretty stones, and small wrapped bundles have been placed in a large wooden bowl. Every so often, a traveler throws one of those objects into the bowl.
Sometime during the night, the bowl was emptied.
-There is only one temple in the town, which has altars to most of the Norse Pantheon.
You can't help but notice some parallels between the depiction of Thor and classic depictions of Heronieus, or Sif and Yondalla.
-a series of brightly colored and decorated wagons camped in a circle just outside town. You can hear music and laughing if you approach. At the opening to the circle is a gentleman sitting in a chair.
-the Town Hall, which also serves as the Court. Currently a young lad stands upon a wooden crate and tries to shout over the general noise. You can make out the words "search", "Fair Maiden" and "reward".
-a Tavern called the Tipsy Toad has its doors thrown wide open and two barmaids offering drinks from a tapped keg. Above the door is a painted carving of a toad in a waistcoat with a flagon in its hand. You can hear raucous laughter from within.
-two young girls, neither more than age ten, are walking purposefully towards the edge of town. One is carrying a basket, the other is carrying a bucket. They appear to be heading towards the forest.
-There's a goblin hawking "Black Thunder": it's a blackish grey powder. Nobody is buying. Some people are actively avoiding the stall.
-A caravan is pulling into town with a large group of armed guards. They all have a crest or something embroidered on their tabards. It looks like a laurel of maple leaves.
Town Hall, serves as the courthouse and jail.
The Tipsy Toad
The Brownie's Barrel
The Kicking Cow
Ingrid's Enchantments
Wychwood wares, seems to be an exotic goods store.
Market Square, where many smaller merchants can be found.
Library
Saverin's General Goods
Temple Rotunda
Mayor's House
Hammer and Anvil Smithy
Livery/Stables
Aelfric's Carpentry
Lumber Mill
Catalina's Textiles
Office of Tax and Trade
Swiftwind Travel and Deliveries, a coach and mail service
You can also find many other smaller services (Such as hunters, wilderness guides, herbalists, etc.) Many operate out of their homes rather than owning a shop or office.

What do you do from here, adventurers?
