He will NOT entrust you with a full herb batch unless you are a member of the Brotherhood ("As long as you're not a member of the Brotherhood, I can't entrust you with a full batch"); non-members can only hand out free 'appetizer' rolls. As reward he offers Sleeper-magic scrolls (choose 3 of Windfist/Charm/Telekinesis/Pyrokinesis/Slumber) OR help getting accepted into the Brotherhood. He trades.

Baal Kagan can be found in the New Camp (Novice).
You: All right, hand me those rolls. Who I should give them to?
Baal Kagan: Anyone, really. Most guys in here won't turn down a free smoke. But remember, one roll per person.
Baal Kagan: Ah, and one more thing: if you lose the herbs or smoke them all by yourself, our deal is off. Understood?
You: Sure.
You: You're one of those cultists, aren't you?
Baal Kagan: We call it the Brotherhood, but yes, I am.
Baal Kagan: My name's Kagan. May the Sleeper be with you.
Baal Kagan: Is that so? I have yet to see new customers. Give out some more.
You: Why don't your people send another man to help you out?
Baal Kagan: They did, actually - Isidro. The problem is, he does nothing but loaf around the lake tavern all day, where he sells his swampweed for rice schnapps.
Baal Kagan: He's a drunkard. Good for nothing.
You: I gave out those "appetizers."
Baal Kagan: So I heard - the first new clients already approached me. Good work.
Baal Kagan: How should I compensate you?
You: I'll take the nuggets.
Baal Kagan: Fine, then. Here.
You: Help me join the Brotherhood.
Baal Kagan: A wise choice. You already know that you'll have to convince the higher baals to get accepted. The "gurus."
Baal Kagan: The problem is, one of them, Baal Tyon, is a touch arrogant. Y'Berion asked him for advice a couple of times - that got to his head, and he now refuses to speak with anyone except his students.
Baal Kagan: That will make it very hard for you to win his support.
Baal Kagan: I can indeed. Here. Give him this smoke roll, and he'll be a lot more ... loquacious.
You: I'll take the scrolls.
Baal Kagan: A wise decision. Which ones?
Baal Kagan: Very well - that was three. Use them wisely.
You: I want the scrolls. What do you have on offer?
Baal Kagan: Windfist, Charm, Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, and Slumber. You may choose three.
You: Show me your wares.
You: Maybe I could help you peddle your swampweed.
Baal Kagan: Hmm ... As long as you're not a member of the Brotherhood, I can't entrust you with a full batch to distribute.
Baal Kagan: But maybe you could help me hand out some gifts. "Appetizers," if you want.
Baal Kagan: Some of the men in here have yet to taste our magnificent herbs - as soon as they do, they'll come back for more.
You: Didn't you just say you can hardly keep up with the demand?
Baal Kagan: I did, but I already informed Master Kalom about Isidro's uselessness. He'll send a replacement soon.
You: Say I hand out these "appetizers" for you - what's in it for me?
Baal Kagan: Oh, we'll think of something.
Baal Kagan: For example, I could give you some scrolls that are imbued with the Sleeper's magic.
Baal Kagan: Alternatively, I could even help you get accepted into the Brotherhood, if that is your wish.
Baal Kagan: Master Kalom decides who gets a novitiate, but I know a trick that could help you.
Baal Kagan: Well, then I'd be happy to pay in cold, dull ore. A hundred nuggets, on the spot.
You: What brings you here?
Baal Kagan: Well, originally, Master Y'Berion sent me here to look for new souls to join our community.
Baal Kagan: Sadly, it turns out most of the guys here would rather kiss an orc than open their eyes to the Sleeper's truth. Since then, I mostly sell swampweed.
Baal Kagan: Oh, if only you knew. I can barely keep up with the demand.
