Rocketeer, Kingdom Come: Deliverance Quest

For the conquest of Talmberg you need to build a trebuchet. This is more difficult than may seem at first glance.

Master Engineer Tobias Feyfar was assigned the task of building a trebuchet, but doesn't feel competent to handle it, so he asked me to go and seek help from Konrad Kyeser, the renowned siege engineer, who is presently residing in Sasau Monastery.

Master Engineer Tobias Feyfar was assigned the task of building a trebuchet, but didn't feel competent to handle it. He asked me to go and seek help from Konrad Kyeser, the renowned siege engineer, who was at that time residing in Sasau Monastery. I found to be a charismatic, honest fellow. Perhaps a little too honest – he didn't want to abandon his unfinished construction work at the monastery.

Konrad would like to help with the trebuchet construction, but he's committed to the monastery and can’t just up and leave. I need to find some way to get him released.

It seems that if Master Builder Karel were to run out of money to pay wages, it would be easier to persuade him to release Konrad Kyeser from his duties. But how to go about it? Beat him at dice, which he's very fond of playing? Or simply rob him?

One of our ideas was to rob Master Builder Karel of the money he had for the workers' wages, which should make him more amenable to a deal to release Konrad Kyeser from his duties. I took care of that, and Karel was left without a Groschen to his name.

Karel doesn't have a single Groschen for wages. He won’t turn his nose up at my money now!

The Master Builder was in a desperate situation without money, so he did indeed accept my bribe and release Konrad Kyeser to go to Talmberg to help. My efforts paid off.

Konrad himself suggested we could forge an authorisation from the Abbot, who is absent just now. For that, though, we’ll need an original sample of his signature, such as Master Builder Karel has on his commission.

Konrad himself suggested we could forge a document from the Abbot, who was currently absent from the monastery, giving him permission to leave. For that, though, we’d need an original sample of the Abbot's signature. That was a job for me, and in the end it wasn't too difficult to get hold of a document signed by the Abbot that Master Builder Karel had.

I should show the original in the Abbot’s handwriting to Konrad.

I have to bring the original manuscript to the Sasau scribe so he can forge the Abbot's signature and seal.

I brought the Abbot's original handwriting to the Sasau scribe so he could forge a writ releasing Konrad Kyeser from his duties at the monastery.

I mustn't forget to return the original document. If Karel notices it's missing, he'll soon put two and two together.

To avoid discovery of our scheme, I had to put the commission back, which I did. So, Karel's not likely to notice anything. I've always thought my fingers were much too nimble for a blacksmith…

Now to show the forged document to Master Builder Karel and Konrad will be able to leave and help us at Talmberg.

I showed our forged commission to Master Builder Karel and he consented to let Konrad Kyeser leave for Talmberg. My efforts paid off.

I must tell Konrad everything is taken care of and he can leave for Talmberg.

I knew it wouldn’t be straightforward. Konrad is free to leave, but doesn’t want to. He found out there's an old acquaintance of his in Sasau and he believes it's an assassin sent to kill him.

Konrad suspects a certain Master Peychar, who was with him on Sigismund’s campaigns, of intrigues against him. If I'm ever to get Konrad to Talmberg, I'll have to find out more about this Peychar.

The person Konrad suspected of intrigues against him was one Master Peychar, who had been with him on Sigismund’s campaigns. I made inquiries about him at the tavern and then even talked to the man himself. He didn’t look suspicious, just another cloth merchant.

Master Kyeser is terrified. He thinks Sigismund has sent assassins to get him. He wants me first to find out what’s going on and to keep watch after dark outside his house.

I couldn't get Master Kyeser to calm down. He was still scared out of his wits, so I had to creep around outside his house at night and watch out for assassins. And indeed, Master Peychar turned up after a while...

If I believe that Peychar really isn't out to assassinate Konrad Kyeser, I should let him go.

In the end, I let Peychar go. I really didn't think he was an assassin out to kill Master Kyeser.

If I think Peychar is lying and really is out to assassinate Kyeser, I should kill him. Otherwise I'll never get Kyeser to come to Talmberg.

I wasn't going to listen to Peychar's excuses. I killed him.

I’ve made such a commotion, surely nobody will come today. I'll just have to come again tomorrow night.

The business with the assassin has been sorted out. Now to tell Konrad everything.

Now just to let Master Feyfar know he's not to worry - he shall have his trebuchet!

Feyfar was visibly relieved that I managed to enlist the help of master siege engineer Konrad Kyeser. And he was generous with his recompense. We will have our trebuchet!
