Location: Uzhitz
To start this quest you should talk to Head Groom.
The Uzhitz stables have lost a horse. More precisely their fastest stallion, Pie, has run off. The Head Groom asked me to find Pie and bring him back to the stables.
To find Pie, I should look for clues, or ask the folk passing by if they've seen anything.
I should ask Vashek, the stableboy, where he lost the horse.
The stableboy, Vashek, told me he lost Pie at the crossroads just south of the stables. And he advised that Pie likes to keep to the bridleways.
I should go to the crossroads where the horse was last spotted.
Based on Vashek’s account, I should go to the crossroads. Although Pie will be gone by now, and there are four routes heading off from the crossroads, which doesn’t help me much.
I met a wayfarer who spotted Pie. That skittish creature was galloping upstream along the creek a little to the south.
I met a wayfarer who'd seen Pie. The twitchy dappled horse had apparently been heading upstream, south of here.
After a long search I’ve found the stray. Pie wasn’t alone, though. Keeping him company was some charcoal-burner from the nearby camp, who claimed the horse was his.
I need to bring Pie home.
After I got rid of that charcoal-burner it was simple. I saddled up Pie and brought him home to the Uzhitz stables.
There’s bound to be some reward for bringing Pie back.
Reward: Caparison (An ornamental cape for the horse).
The Head Groom was naturally delighted to get Pie back, I got a bit of coin out of it and maybe the stableboy Vashek will even get a second chance.
Quest log updated:
I found out the Head Groom is dead, so that brings this job to an end.
Quest log updated:
Unfortunately it was not in Pie's stars to return to his home stables. At least not alive, since there's still hope he might come back in the form of very exclusive sausages. Although that will be little compensation for the Head Groom.
Quest log updated:
As soon as I mounted Pie, I saw he was a damned fine steed. So I thought, what if I don't take him back? The poor animal can't even get up a proper gallop at the stables. No doubt that's why he bolted when he had the chance. He'll be much better off with me.
