Far from Home

Part 1: Thirstwn the Fleecer

Brackenbury

The Charred Barrel

Amid the bustle of the fancy Charred Barrel inn (1) is a quiet character named Thirstwn (2), just left of the entrance. Quiz him at length, and he reveals he’s hoping to obtain an Engwithan medallion from his previous partner in crime. Through conversation, you learn where she is and that it’s likely to require payment in order to meet her.

New Quest: Far from Home

Objective: Talk to Serel at the Salty Mast in Ondra’s Gift

Ondra’s Gift

The Salty Mast

Journey to the decidedly more bawdy Salty Mast (3) on the southeast side of Ondra’s Gift. Serel is upstairs, in the main “reclining chamber” with two mean-looking guards (4) who aren’t in the business of letting you pass. Instead, head downstairs and speak to the owner of the brothel, Maea (5), about Serel. She laughs at your attempts to gain an audience with Serel. As Serel is the most sought-after girl in the district, it’s going to cost you.

• [1,000 cp] Pay to have Serel for the night. There is no other option.

Part 2: Conclusion: Picking a Thief

Now that the two guards have stepped away, allowing you access to Serel, head upstairs and into the main bedchambers (6). You’re perfectly able to engage in more than conversation with Serel if you wish, but to continue this quest, it’s a good idea to mention there’s something you need to discuss. When Thirstwn is brought up, she fires out a few home truths about the fellow.

It seems Serel believes she has more of a right to the medallion than Thirstwn. It is time to pick a side! Depending on your choices and actions, you may need to return to Thirstwn to finish this quest. Your rewards are as follows:

• Through conversation (and a possible expenditure of 6,000 cp), obtain the medallion from Serel, bringing it to Thirstwn.
  • Reward: Cloak of Many Feathers (bonus item), 2,000 cp
  • Reactivity: If you paid for the medallion, Serel moves to Brackenbury (near the fountain).
  • Reactivity [Reputation+]: Give the medallion to Thirstwn for a Reputation boost in Twin Elms.
• Through conversation, you side with Serel; return and convince Thirstwn to give up on the medallion, then return to Serel.
  • Reward: Serel’s Ring
• You return to Thirstwn, and slay him to keep him from bothering Serel.
  • Reward: Serel’s Ring
• You attack Serel and remove the medallion forcefully (you may need to slay her guards as well), bringing it to Thirstwn.
  • Reward: Serel’s Amulet, Cloak of Many Feathers (bonus item), 2,000 cp
  • Reactivity [Reputation+]: Give the medallion to Thirstwn for a Reputation boost in Twin Elms.
  • Reactivity [Reputation-]: If you kill Serel, you receive a Reputation loss for Defiance Bay.
• You obtain the medallion from Serel, but refuse to give it to Thirstwn, then return to Serel.
  • Reward: Serel’s Ring
  • Reactivity: If you paid for the medallion, Serel moves to Brackenbury (near the fountain).
• You obtain the medallion from Serel and tell Thristwn you are going to keep it.
• Reward: The medallion becomes a wearable amulet with +2 Might.
