Although my liege lord Sir Radzig Kobyla forbade me to leave Talmberg and the Lord of Talmberg, Sir Divish, complied with his wishes and tried to keep me in the castle, in the end I succeeded in leaving. I had to get back to Skalitz to bury my parents. I couldn't just leave their bodies to the dogs.

Quest objectives of Homecoming

1. Massacre in Rovna.

Skalitz was in an even worse state than I expected. Sigismund's soldiers massacred everyone they came across, and not only in the town. In the nearby village of Rovna, people who were trying to take refuge in the church were butchered.

Massacre in Rovna.

2. Find your parents.

I have to find my parents' bodies and bury them. Unless someone moved them, they should still be lying where they were cut down.

There are a few corpse looters on the way to Skalitz village.

Find your parents.

You can enter the village through the east gate.

Find your parents.

I was still hoping against all the odds they might somehow have survived… But they were dead.

3. Find a spade.

I found my parents bodies and others too. Now I have to find a spade to dig a grave under the linden tree, as my father wished. It should be no problem to find a spade in the village.

3.1. Zbyshek.

Zbyshek.

3.1.1. Fight with Zbyshek.

While I was looking for a spade I came across the mill hand Zbyshek, who was trying to rob the body of the butcher, which was being guarded by the dead man's dog, Mutt. Zbyshek was trying to drive him away with a spade and then he started a fight with me. Well, it didn't go well for him - he got a beating and I got the spade.

3.2. Get hold of a spade.

I got everything I needed. But now the hardest part awaited me.

Get hold of a spade.

4. Dig a grave under the linden tree and bury your parents.

Dig a grave under the linden tree and bury your parents.

Dig a grave under the linden tree and bury your parents.

When I was trying to bury my parents, Zbyshek turned up again, and he wasn't alone. That treacherous bastard brought a gang of bandits with him, led by a frightening giant of a man, who took a fancy to my father's sword. I tried to defend myself and hold onto it, but I had no chance against that huge bastard. Just when I thought my last moment had come, Theresa the mill maid turned up with Captain Robard of Talmberg and his men. They scattered the bandits, but their leader got away with my sword, the only thing I had to remember my father by.

Awakening

I woke up from bad dreams. Theresa, the Skalitz miller's daughter was sitting leaning over me. It turns out it was she, together with Sir Robard and his men, who saved my life. Then she took me to Rattay to uncle Peshek's mill. They looked after me the whole time I was delirious and feverish. Theresa also lost everything and is now living at her uncle's mill. I may stay there if I wish, but I have a debt to settle. My treatment was not without cost.
