At All Costs

Part 1: Special Delivery

Ondra’s Gift

Vailian Trading Company

While you’re visiting Ondra’s Gift, stroll along the wharf by the water’s northern edge. Amid the bustle you may be stopped by Pallegina, who is up in arms about the Vailian Trading Company she is part of. At your leisure, enter the Company building (1) and speak to Mestre Verzano (2). His couriers have been having a terrible time delivering goods recently (they keep getting robbed), and he’s hoping you might be able to help. Any potential thieves would look twice before challenging you. Agree to this, and your quest updates.

New Quest: At All Costs

Objective: Deliver the package to Gareth in Copperlane

Copperlane

Goose and Fox Tavern

Journey to Copperlane and visit the Goose and Fox Tavern (3) on the eastern side of town. Among the actors and other patrons of this establishment is the shifty-looking Gareth (4), standing at the bar near the stairs. Approach and let him know of the delivery. He tells you he’s afraid of the Doemenels and their “exclusive” rights to sell certain merchandise: the pouch you just delivered!

Just as the conversation ends, the tavern doors swing open, and in swaggers a quintet of highly armored and armed folk led by a woman named Danna. After a threatening chat with Gareth, she turns her attention to you. She’s not happy with your actions but may forgive you if you help House Doemenel by killing Verzano. You may respond with a noncommittal, threatening, or agreeable response. But your actions back at the Trading Company will show Danna whose side you are on.

Quest Updated

Objective: Return to Verzano in Ondra’s Gift

Part 2: Conclusion: Protection or Defection

Back at the Trading Company (1), you explain the previous altercation to Mestre Verzano (2). Pallegina chimes in, telling Verzano she warned him about cooperating with the locals. Choose the side that you wish to fight with, as Danna and her four fighting friends have entered the premises! Begin to fight whomever you’ve decided to back. Then speak to either Verzano or Danna to complete this quest. Your rewards are dependent on your actions. You can:

• Protect Verzano from the Doemenels.
• Slay Verzano for the Doemenels
• Walk away and let the Doemenels handle Verzano.
