Quest Group: Ravensthorpe
To start this quest you must build a museum in your settlement. You will be able to build a museum when your settlement reaches level 2. You will then be able to talk to Octavian, who will ask you for a favor.
Octavian asked Eivor to retrieve the statue of a Roman legionnaire that has been stolen by a concurrent of his. The man is named Maximus and appears to live in Lunden.
You will meet Maximilian near his home in Lunden - War of the Collectors marker.
When you talk to Maximilian and ask about the statue, he will not be willing to give it to you, so you must convince him to do so or find another way to get to his house, where the statue is.
In the last case, approach a kid standing nearby and ask him if he will distract Maximilian. He will agree but it will cost you 65 silver.
Approach the stool where the key lies, wait for the kid to distract Maximilian and when possible take the key and open the door to Maximilian's house.
Take the statue and leave the house.
Return to Oktavian and hand him the statuette. This will end this quest.
