Part 1: Lost in the Storm
Madhmr Bridge
Once you discover Madhmr Bridge and have traveled to the upper middle of the area (1) via the narrow dirt path, find Peregund standing at the pathway junction and speak with her. You may also ask her about the destroyed bridge (meaning you need to take a different route to Defiance Bay). For now, you must investigate the area immediately downstream of the Madhmr Bridge and look for signs of the wrecked ferry.
Travel directly south from Peregund (2), heading down the steep, narrow cliff to the southwest, until you’re stopped by two Looters. Slay these hostile foes, then continue (southeast) to the river’s edge, where a collection of flotsam has washed up by the riverbank near the ferry’s remains. It is being guarded (and stolen) by three Looters and their leader, Hanwen. You can:
Speak with Hanwen (3) and find out more about these Looters; they are impoverished peasants who survived the recent storm and are looking to salvage the cargo they found.
- [Benevolent] Offer to lie to Peregund, and let the Looters keep what they have found.
- [Attack] Slay these Looters and bring justice to Peregund.
Part 2: Conclusion: Rob from the Rich, or Kill the Poor
You may need to fight the Looters, then return to Peregund (2) to explain where her items are. Or you may wish to side with the Looters by returning to Peregund and lying to her, explaining the items are washed away. Look at the above rewards and reactivity to help you decide.
