Ginger in a pickle loop

Ginger in a pickle Quest
Talked to Charcol Burners but they won’t cough up the info so…
Played a couple of days of side quests, took Theresa for meal evening before, caught hare & Deer for Alex, etc.
Off to Neuhof stud farm
Talk to Captain Bernard, and I take the “An escort to intimidate the charcoal burners” dialogue option,
Captain Bernard says "Right boys let’s go…"
and then goes to Black cut scene load screen, but doesn’t progress…
