On the Scent, Kingdom Come: Deliverance Quest

One of the members of the Neuhof gang, a fellow who goes by the moniker of Reeky, should be somewhere in the vicinity of Ledetchko. Unfortunately, that's about all I could find out so far. I expect it shouldn't be too hard to... well, catch scent of this Reeky, though I don't expect it will be a pleasant encounter.

Another member of the Neuhof gang, nicknamed Reeky, really was hiding out in an old mine gallery. He was very anxious and talked to me willingly, so I found out what I needed to know.

Track down another member of the Neuhof gang, a fellow who goes by the nickname of Reeky.

The locals advised me to ask about Reeky at his folks' house. It's not a task I relish - a tanner's workshop is not the sweetest smelling of places.

The locals advised me to talk to Reeky's father. His reputation in Ledetchko isn't much better than his son's. Still, his worries are over now, since he died in mysterious circumstances.

I found out that Reeky was seeing one of the bathhouse wenches from the Ledetchko baths.

I wanted to talk to the bath wench Adela, who was on intimate terms with Reeky, but unfortunately there was an inexplicable accident and she's no longer among the living.

Adela told me Reeky has money stashed away. It's buried in the western corner of the smallholding behind the tannery.

In the end it turned out that Reeky not only had money hidden, but also a blood-stained gambeson. Naturally he wouldn't want to parade around the village in it. I'd like to hear what his father has to say about it.

The bathhouse wench told me that Reeky used to come and see her after his poaching raids and on his way he usually stopped off at the woodcutters' camp on the hills east of Ledetchko.

Raspberry the woodcutter told me about some drunken escapade during which he visited Reeky's poaching lair and even gave me exact directions to it. So if I follow them, I should find the hideout easily. If the word of a drunkard can be believed, of course.

The path begins on the western edge of the clearing where the woodcutters' camp is.

Follow the path down to the stream. There should be a fallen tree-trunk a little upstream.

According to the directions I got, I have to cross the fallen tree and go straight uphill until I reach a huge boulder.

When I reach the boulder I have to keep my ears open for the little millwheel below the spring.

According to Raspberry's directions, I have to go around the spring and find a clearing.

According to Raspberry's directions, Reeky's hideout is somewhere in the clearing.

I found it. It's a pity those precise directions didn't lead to treasure. They were complicated enough! But instead of treasure I can look forward to meeting a stinking poacher and bandit.

It seems Reeky didn't poach game just to enjoy a more varied diet. He was making coin from selling the game to the innkeeper in Ledetchko.

The innkeeper knows where Reeky's hideout is and Reeky owes him some hare meat. So I made a deal with him: I'll bring him some game he'll tell me what he knows.

I brought the Ledetchko innkeeper the game Reeky owed him and in return he told me Reeky's hideout must be somewhere underground, because he needs lots of light there.

The shaft is on the left bank of Sasau River, in the woods behind the forge.

The cave is somewhere in the hills to the east of Ledetchko.

The mineshaft is on the promontory to the east of Ledetchko, not far from the river.

Objective updated:

Reeky is probably hiding in his poachers' hideout. If I find the hideout, I'll find Reeky.

Reeky, one of the Neuhof gang, really was hiding out in an old mineshaft. And with good reason, as it turned out. Shortly after I found out from him where another member of the gang was, we were ambushed.

Reeky, one of the Neuhof gang, really was hiding out in an old mineshaft. And with good reason, as it turned out. Unfortunately I came too late and he was already in the hands of the same bandits who tortured Limpy Lubosh to death. Fortunately, this time they didn't finish the job and I managed to get some answers.

I was intending to talk to the innkeeper who was mixed up in the poaching business along with Reeky, but it seems justice caught up with him before I did and took his life.

I found out that Reeky was involved in poaching, which is no great surprise, considering the reputation he has among the locals. But the important thing is he has a poaching hideout in the woods and it's quite possible he's hiding out there. Of course the problem with hideouts is they're supposed to be hard to find. So it looks like I know where Reeky is, only I don't know where that "where" is.
