Boots Should Be As Clean As The Souls That Wear Them

After a brisk walk into Beauclair, you speak to Bootblack Boy; optionally asking how business is, then asking about the letters the boy received. Eventually, you pry out the information that beggars brought them. Feel free to ask why this information wasn’t revealed before, before asking who the beggars were: All were different; one for each of the four letters. Then ask where the beggars obtained the letters from, and what they looked like. Eventually, Regis steps in, asking where the beggars are. You are directed to their shelter.

You can also forgo or delay this investigation, and instead speak with Damien, offering as much (or as little) information as you can before he takes you to the Ceremony. Skip the investigation to the “Talk to Damien” objective, below.

Accompany Regis up the steps, and along the paved thoroughfares to an unassuming archway and rickety gate by the sign marked “Lassommoir,” behind which you can hear voices. Open the gate, and step into an argument between a couple of townsfolk who aren’t happy with this homeless encampment in their fair city. Optionally ask what the harm is, before asking who the “decent” folk actually are. The conversation degenerates into a bout of fisticuffs.
