The Stranger mentioned his primary choice—the elven acrobat called Eveline Gallo—was performing with her troupe somewhere in Gustfields territory. Head to the fields just west of the Vegelbud Estate, where a small crowd of peasants are waiting for a circus performance. Find Eveline and her colleague Meryn arguing by the caravans. After she asks what you want, try the following:
Request you speak privately.
Tell her (with Meryn present) you want her to work with you.
Your choice affects a possible payment you may incur shortly. Eveline tells you she’s about to commence a circus show, but her colleague “Hawkeye” Vann isn’t living up to his nickname. Quite the opposite in fact; he’s gone blind after drinking some questionable hooch. You’re asked to stand in for Vann, performing a trick involving a crossbow and some apples. Help her out, and she agrees to your request. You can:
- Agree to this request.
- Disagree, and reimburse the peasants who have bought tickets, and cancel the event. If Eveline is talking with you alone, she agrees that 400 crowns should cover it. If Meryn is with her, he prompts her to increase the amount to 600 crowns. Take it or leave it.

Accept her request to stand in for Hawkeye Vann, and you find yourself on stage with a rabble of serfs watching your pinpoint accuracy with a crossbow. Meryn is balancing an apple on each arm, one on his leg, and one atop his head. Simply aim and fire at the apples. If you miss, simply try again. If you hit Meryn, Eveline still joins you, apparently that’s not the first time this sort of thing has happened.
After the performance or payoff, Eveline lives up to her part of the bargain and receives instructions for visiting the Herbalist’s Hut. Your infiltrator has been secured, and this sub-quest concludes.
