After I completed the Assassin's quest, I talked to Sarah and Random still forbids her to have a bath outisde. Then I left and came back to the farm, this time she was on the back of the farmhouse. Since I had the Thorn Bow equipped, I managed to complete the quest.
So, the order is:
-Refuse Thurngard's raise twice
-Leave the farm without talking to Sarah
-Go to the Guild of Shadows and get the assassin's quest
-Go back to the farm and Sarah will say she killed the assassin
-Talk to Sarah again to make her angry
-Leave the farm and return
-This time Sarah will be in the back of the house, talk to her and if you had a good bow equipped on her, she will shoot the leaf bird.
This is an awesome find, D-Squall! I'm pretty sure that's what I did, but it's great to have it listed out like this AND VERIFIED!
Turns out I ordered the wrong SSD reader, so I ordered another, but I won't get it until sometime tomorrow. It's still going to be another couple of days before I can check my notes for those missing secret rooms and add your corrections to the walkthrough.
I'm glad you also verified the Thorn Bow works. I remember deliberately repeating that part with different bows and the Thorn Bow was the only one that worked for me, which surprised me because there are certainly better bows for Sarah, but they all failed. She shoots and either nothing happens or they see/hear something fly away. I've kind of forgotten what exactly happened with the other bows.
