Horrendous Uprisings From The Bottom

Ensure you’re searching for the cook during daylight hours (meditate until the next day if the sun has set), and find Maarten the cook on the pier, as expected. He’s able to accommodate your extra ingredient into the guards’ fish suppers, but at a cost. He wants 500 crowns. You can:

• (500 Crowns) Pay him what he wants.
• (Axii Delusion level 2) Or “persuade” him to help you free of charge.

Once the cook has been bribed or his mind befuddled into helping you, this quest concludes.
