Part 1: Little Boy Lost
Ondra’s Gift
While in Ondra’s Gift, enter the house (1) in the northeast part of the stone dockside area. Inside this dwelling is Odda, who is beside herself with worry. Speak to her about her boy’s disappearance, and she mentions Derrin left with his father, Weyd, to go fishing at the docks.
(Optional) Commence your search of Ondra’s Gift by speaking to the various folk loitering around this district.
- Imatl: The trader (2) by the docks tells you he’s a good kid, but his father is a loafer who frequents the infamous Salty Mast tavern, where you can wet more than your beak.
- Marceno: The local deckhand (3) standing on the jetty to the southwest tells you Derrin asked to play on his ship but was turned away. He was last seen heading toward the Salty Mast.
- Niah: This construction supervisor (4) standing in the central part of the docks hasn’t seen or heard of this child.
(Optional) Journey to the northeastern part of Ondra’s Gift, and enter the Salty Mast brothel (5). Head to the bar and locate Weyd drowning his sorrows. After some light interrogation (which can end in combat if you wish, though that isn’t necessary), you learn Weyd lost track of his son and is too ashamed to return home.
Part 2: Little Boy Found
Return at low tide, and descend the dock steps just south of the Salty Mast. Head northeast, to the tiny corpse half buried in the silt (6). The hands of Derrin still clutch a dagger. Reach toward the soul, and relive Derrin’s final moments. Speak to his soul and comfort (or inform) him at his time of passing. Then leave the body, relive the memory, or take the dagger. On close inspection, you see the dagger has the letter “B” engraved on it.
Part 3: Dealing with Derrin’s Death
At this point, you may wish to return to Weyd (5) or Odda (1) and inform either of them that their son is dead. Or, you can find out who the dagger belongs to before this task completes. Visit the curved pier in the northwest part of Ondra’s Gift, where Bragan (7) and his four Thugs are loitering. Speak with Bragan, after which you can either bargain with him to keep this killing secret or slay him and his Thugs.
