Quest Group: Chapter 4 - Mastering the Source
Starting Map: Reaper's Coast
You can start this quest in several ways, for example by talking to Magister Carver or Stewart.
We have learned that the Magisters are investigating several disappearances from their ranks that have occurred around Driftwood. They suspect foul play, and are hunting for a fugitive. Their top suspect is a tinkerer - a Sourcerer named Higba. It might be worthwhile to conduct our own investigation...
Talk to Magister Carver and offer your help.
We have encountered Magister Carver, who is in charge of uncovering the cause of the Magister disappearances in Driftwood. He may have a reward for anyone who can help solve the matter.
Talk to Stewart.
We met an elf named Stewart, who was once a Magister. He wants to find who is behind the disappearances of his former comrades. He believes that the Magisters' own investigation is going down the wrong track, but doesn't know who the real culprit could be.
Talk to Spirit of Magister Harrick. To be able to see it you need Spirit Vision skill. Check Powerful Awakening quest description for information how to get it.
We encountered the spirit of Harrick - one of the Magisters who went missing in Driftwood. It seems that she was murdered somewhere in the vicinity of the kitchen in the Black Bull tavern.
Buy a piece of Meaty Stew from Lovrik or from other tavern service members and consume it - you need an elf!.
After consuming some of the stew being served at the Black Bull tavern, we learned that it is full of meat taken from murdered Magisters.
We have strong evidence to suggest that Wyvlia, the cook at the Black Bull tavern, is responsible for the Magister disappearances.
You need an elf character, select it and then talk to Wyvlia. Or come back to the kitchen a bit later, when you report to Magister Carver and he will send Bellworth to check the truth of your accusations. Magister Bellworth will be lying dead on the kitchen floor.
We confronted Wyvlia, the tavern cook. She has admitted that she killed the missing Magisters, and disposed of their bodies in her cooking pot.
Kill Wyvlia.
Wyvlia, the tavern cook, is dead.
Loot and read Food-Splotched Recipe.
We found a note on the tavern cook's person with details of Magisters she's killed, and others she intends to kill.
Locate the Magister Seal (use ALT key!) on the kitchen's floor. There is Magister Seal inside. Take it.
We have found a bloodied ring bearing the Magister seal hidden in the kitchen at the Black Bull tavern.
Talk to Spirit of Magister Harrick, show her the ring and make a promise.
We spoke to the ghost of Magister Harrick, and promised to return her highly-prized ring to her comrades.
Talk to Magister Carver and tell him about the Meaty Stew you ate. If you have stolen the Magister Seal then you can also show it.
We have reported the cook to the Magister leading the investigation into the disappearances, Carver. He has dispatched a subordinate, Magister Bellworth, to the kitchen in order to verify our claims.
We have reported the cook to the Magister leading the investigation into the disappearances, Carver. He has instructed us to put an end to her, once and for all.
Higba The Tinkerer is hiding in the Fishworks.
We have found the Tinkerer - a Sourcerer named Higba - hiding in the Fishworks. He insists that he's innocent, and had nothing to do with any missing Magisters.
Higba, the tinkerer suspected to be behind the disappearances of Magisters in Driftwood, is dead.
Higba, the tinkerer suspected to be behind the disappearances of Magisters in Driftwood has escaped, with our help.
Higba The Tinkerer will give you this information if you help him get out of Driftwood - Strange Cargo quest.
We learned from the Higba the tinkerer that the tavern cook, Wyvlia, sold him Magister recipes and items. As he was a Sourcerer caught with Magister property, he soon became the top suspect regarding the disappearances.
Help Higba leave Driftwood then talk to Magister Carver and inform him that Higba left the city.
Magister Carver has told us that another Magister has disappeared. It seems that Higba could not have been responsible.
We told Stewart that the tavern cook has been killing his former comrades, the Magisters. He has set off to confront her by himself.
This entry will be added to your journal if you killed the cook and talked to Stewart before reporting it to Magister Carver.
We told Stewart that the tavern cook had been killing Magisters, and that we killed her in turn. Realising that we did not yet inform the Magister authorities, Stewart ran away to take credit for our actions.
We told Stewart that the tavern cook was responsible for the Magister disappearances. Stewart was disappointed to learn that the mystery has been solved - he had hoped that he'd achieve this by himself.
Magister Carver is dead. His investigation into the missing Magisters is unlikely to be resolved now.
With Magister Carver dead, Wyvlia will likely be able to continue serving up her special stew to the patrons of the Black Bull tavern.
