The City, Part III

I stole the old book from the House of Blossoms for a man named Orion—the so-called voice of the people. He thinks he can save this city. From some of the things I’ve seen, I’m not sure it’s worth saving. Regardless, the people regard Orion favorably, Basso included, and his followers, the Graven, are growing. Still, between the Baron, the gloom, and starvation, there’s not much choice.

Objective 1: Explore the Clock Tower

Area 1: Clock Tower

With Chapter 3: Dirty Secrets completed, you once again find yourself in Garrett’s private hideout, the Clock Tower. Take stock of your inventory, using the storage chest if you like before heading upstairs.

Garrett’s ready for Jenivere this time, but the raven doesn’t fly into the clock tower like normal. Instead, the master thief finds the poor bird dead on the floor. Something’s gone wrong; you’d best hurry over to the Crippled Burrick.

Objective 2: Go to the Crippled Burrick

Area 2: Clock Tower Plaza

Just outside the Clock Tower, you’re treated to the gruesome sight of a man being hung by the Baron’s Watch. Apparently the man had been associating with something called the “Graven movement.” Terrified, the gathered masses begin to shout that no one is safe from the Baron’s wrath.

Area 3: The Crippled Burrick

Arriving at the Crippled Burrick, Garrett finds Orion rifling through Basso’s office. It seems that the unfortunate fence has been hauled off to the Keep—the Baron’s mighty stronghold. In addition, Orion confirms that he is, in fact, the leader of the Graven: a clandestine group of civilians that stands in staunch opposition to the Baron. Orion warns that Garrett can’t simply break into the Keep. He advises that the master thief speak with a Graven named Jacob, who has been studying the Keep for some time and should be able to impart useful information.

Objective 3: Go to Greystone Plaza

Leave Basso’s office and visit the nearby shady merchant. The peddler now offers two new trinkets: the warm vest and the doctor’s orders. Trade with the merchant, ensuring that you have at least one rope arrow and one broadhead arrow for the coming mission. Consider paying a visit to the Queen of Beggars to obtain more Focus points as well.

Area 4: Ector’s Emporium

You obviously can’t accept any new side jobs from Basso at this point, but client jobs are another matter. Swing by Ector’s Emporium, and the busy inventor will offer you a new client job entitled “Silence is Golden.” Go ahead and accept this job, then follow your new objective into Baron’s Way South.

Documents

	Bill of Consignment

When you arrive at Baron’s Way South, look up and notice a deceased thief hanging from a rope at the street’s south end. Knock down the unfortunate thief with a blunt arrow, then carefully avoid the guards as you move to search his body.

The thief had been carrying a document. Collect it from the ground near his body to obtain the a clue that points you to a pawnshop in South Quarter. Follow your objective marker into the South Quarter district, heading for the pawnshop.

Area 6: Baron’s Way South (South Quarter)

Go southward through South Quarter, passing through the Canal area on your way to Baron’s Way South. Once you arrive there, climb the rope that you lowered during your previous explorations of this district to reach a high ledge and a window that can be pried open.

Pry open the window, then pass through the apartment beyond to reach another window that can be pried open. Do so to exit back out onto another high ledge above Baron’s Way South.

Now simply cross the narrow beams that span the street, following your objective marker to a small storeroom. Go through the storeroom’s door to begin Ector’s “Silence is Golden” client job.

Area 2: Clock Tower Plaza (Revisited)

After you’ve completed Ector’s “Silence is Golden” client job, return to Clock Tower Plaza and avoid the guards as you move north down the street. Follow the street to its north end and enter the tunnel to reach the Gullet. Scale the Gullet’s north ladder and then maneuver past a cluster of crates to reach Baron’s Way North.

Area 7: Baron’s Way North (Stonemarket)

As you enter Baron’s Way North, you catch sight of a crowd that’s gathered in the street. The people are preaching the Graven’s agenda, and the Baron’s Watch seem to have their hands full in preventing a full-scale riot. Sometimes it’s nice being an uninvested third party. Still, don’t let the guards catch sight of you, or you’ll draw their ire.

Instead, sneak west down the street unseen. Keep going until you reach the northwest gate, and go through to begin your rescue mission.
