Go to Folcanstan and talk to Cynebert and Basim, whom you will find at the docks. To convince the future ealdorman to cooperate with the abbot, you will decide to implement a plan in which you and Basim will kidnap him so that the abbot can then set him free.
Follow Basim to the village of Beamasfield because according to his information, this is where Tedmund should be present.
Try to locate Tedmund. You will probably find him near the center of the lumbermill, accompanied by two guards.
Then he should walk further north. When you get close to him and Tedmund finds out you are nearby, he will start running away.
Chase him and try to hit him, then you will be able to tie him up.
Transport Tedmund to the place north of the sawmill.
After a while, as you arranged, Cynebert will appear to free him.
However, it will turn out that he is only a double of Tedmund. Luckily, he will be eager to cooperate and give you some information. You will learn from him about the Danes who have a camp nearby. You will decide to help them and thus gain allies needed during the attack on Rouecistre, because this is the only option you have left. You will be able to decide what to do with the fake Tedmund, who was once a monk.
Depending on what you decided to do with the Shergar, this task will bit different, but its aim will be the same - to get rid of the soldiers from the Danes' camp. Even when Shergar goes with you, you will still be able, if you want to, kill the soldiers.
Set prisoners free and talk to them. They will agree to help you in the attack on Rouecistre.
You will settle a plan of action and this quest will end up with a honest conversation with Basim by the fire.
