Quest objectives of Masquerade
1. Find out from Fritz how things stand with Andrew.
It seems Fritz knows Andrew, the local innkeeper very well indeed. I should find out what's going on.
I found out that Fritz really did know Andrew, the local innkeeper. They weren't exactly the best of mates, though.
2. Strike a deal with Andrew.
Fritz asked me with persuading innkeeper Andrew to help us lighten the purses of some local crooks.
Talk to Andrew ...
... then follow him to the basement.
Persuade him. There's coin in it.
He will tell you about the cumans.
I had to talk Andrew the innkeeper into working with us. In the end he agreed to help with arranging the hold-ups. Let's hope we haven't bitten off more than we can chew.
3. Get three Cuman disguises.
Andrew insists we need disguises for the hold-ups - Cuman outfits, that is. And he told me where I can probably find some Cumans.
3.1. Get hold of three Cuman helmets with faceplates. (0/3)
I have to get hold of three Cuman helmets. The important thing is they have to have visors that cover the whole face.
Cuman shishak.
3.2. Get hold of three suits of Cuman armour. (0/3)
I've got to get hold of three Cuman suits of armour.
It could be Cuman hauberk or Cuman harness.
3.3. (Optional) Go to the Cuman camp not far from Andrew's inn.
There are five well equipped cumans in this camp.
Sneak into the camp at night and steal the necessary items from the chest. Watch out for patrols.
3.4. (Optional) Go to the Cuman camp west of Uzhitz.
There are three cumans in this camp.
3.5. (Optional) Go to the Cuman camp east of Uzhitz.
There are three cumans in this camp.
Go back to Andrew and hand over the Cuman armour.
Andrew came up with the idea that it would be best to have Cuman disguises for the hold-ups. So with quite a bit of work I managed to get three Cuman outfits, including helmets with faceplates. But despite all the effort, Andrew wasn't very impressed.
4. Find out from Milomir what a "real" Cuman looks like.
Pearls before swine! It seems my Cuman disguise isn't Cuman enough! And some fellow called Milomir is supposed to know what a real Cuman outfit should look like.
Andrew took the view that my Cuman outfit wasn't frightening enough he sent me to talk to Milomir, who he said had seen Cumans up close. Only Milomir clearly didn't know a damn thing. He'd never clapped eyes on a Cuman in his life - he was just repeating what he'd heard from other people.
5. Talk to Olena.
Someone heard some stories about Cumans from Olena, the wife of the Talmberg fisherman.
5.1. Get hold of some animal teeth. (0/1)
Wolves' fangs aren't something you can just buy on the market square. But who's ever seen any close up? I'm sure any animal teeth will do, maybe a wild boar's?
The more outrageous the idea, the more people believe in it! So to convince them we're real Cumans, I had to get those damned fangs.
5.2. (Optional) Get wolf fangs. (0/1)
That Olena is a complete lunatic, but people believe her tales, so to convince them we're real Cumans, I have to get wolf fangs.
You can buy wolf fangs from the huntsman in Rattay. Hunsman Nicholas in Talberg also should have one.
6. Talk to Vashek.
Vashek, a young stableboy from Uzhitz, apparently knows something about the Cumans too.
6.1. Get hold of a dog skin. (0/1)
So the skin of a dog hunted at night is the best protection? Who ever heard of such a thing? Well, no doubt any dog hide will do just as well.
You can buy a dog skin from the Trader standing next to the Tanner's house in Talberg. You can also steal one from the chest in Tanner's house in Talmberg.
It seems Vashek told everyone and his brother about the invincible Cumans dressed in dog hides. So I was left with no option but to get some.
6.2. (Optional) Hunt down a dog at night and skin it. (0/1)
Dressed in dog skins? I wonder how Vashek manages to sleep at all with dreams like that. So where am I to find a stray dog, or one whose master won't be missing him...?
You can kill the dog that lives next door to the Rattay Mill. Do it at night.
It seems Vashek told everyone and his brother about the invincible Cumans dressed in dog hides. So I was left with no option but to get some. The sooner I forget that experience, the better.
7. Find out what Bran knows.
I've heard that Bran the charcoal-burner often talks about Cumans.
7.1. Find some black feathers. (0/2)
One black feather is as good as another. I'm sure chicken feathers will do just fine!
You can buy black feathers and raven feathers from the herbalists.
Bran the charcoal-burner told people that the Cumans are always draped in raven feathers. So I got some... well, something that looked like raven feathers.
7.2. (Optional) Get raven feathers. (0/2)
Bran has been regaling the local maids with tales of fierce Cumans wearing raven feathers. Where can I find some?
You can buy raven feathers from the herbalists.
8. As soon as you have the feathers, fangs and dog hide, go and see Andrew.
Once I've got everything needed for the disguise, I'll have to take it all to Andrew. If he's got any more critical remarks, he'll find out what it's like to meet a real barbarian!
It all worked out in the end. Andrew the innkeeper was finally satisfied with the "authentic Cuman" outfits, though I had the feeling we looked like travelling minstrels with cheap costumes.
After completing Masquerade you will get or will be able to get Besmirched.
