Quest stages of Heretic hunt
1. Find the smuggler
Go to the port and talk to Captain Vasco. Ask him about the heretics. He'll tell you about a smuggler who's being held in Naut prison.
- Keep from saying too much.
- Talk to him openly about your mission.
2. (Optional) Disguise yourself as a Naut
To get the disguise that will make you one of the Nauts, go to the storeroom.
In the box there you will find Sailor's Coat. Equip yourself with this and you will be able to move freely around, Harbour Master's Office, Naut Prison and warehouses.
3. (Optional) Interrogate the smuggler about the heretics
One way to find out where the heretics are is to go to the Naut prison and interrogate the smuggler imprisoned there.
The main entrance to the prison is guarded by two guards who do not want to let you in (They'll let you in if you disguised yourself as a Naut).
Jump over the fence at the back of the prison, unlock the back door and go inside.
The smuggler is locked in a cell. Talk to him and offer him freedom in exchange for the information you need.
3.1. (Optional) Free the smuggler
If you want to fulfill your promise to the smuggler, you have to open the door to the cell he is in. If you have the right talent (Lockpicking 1) you can do it right away. Otherwise you will need to find the key to the cell. You can find it in the Harbour Master's Office.
4. (Optional) Search the smuggler's belongings
Another way to find out where the heretics are is to go to the Storeroom and read the Smuggler's Journal.
5. Go and see the heretics in their hideout
Once you find out where the heretics are - it's one of the warehouses, go there and meet with them. You can use the main entrance to the warehouse which is guarded by two guards (Check the Coin Guard merchandise quest to find out how to get rid of them).
It is also possible to bypass the security by using two ladders and then entering the warehouse through the back door.
The heretics, which will turn out to be two historians, you will find on the upper floor of the warehouse.
Ask them everything. When you do this, you will have to make a decision about their future.
- Proceed with their arrest. - They won't give up and you'll have to kill them.
- Propose to speak to the Bridge Alliance Ambassador. - Ambassador Sahim will agree to help them when you complete his quest - The charlatan. It doesn't matter if you arrested a charlatan or let him escape. Historians will thank you and give you 80 gold.
- Left them be on their way. - You will let them escape.
6. Inform the Thélème ambassador
Depending on what your decision about historians was:
- Report the deaths of the heretics. - 1000 XP, 50 gold coins, Theleme reputation + 3
- Report the escape of the heretics.
If the heretics have escaped, you will receive two more dialog options:
- Tell the truth. - 1000 XP, Theleme reputation -1
- Lie. - 1000 XP, Theleme reputation +1
