Quest Group: Main Story
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest Keeping the Peace.
In the course of my training I had the honour of making the acquaintance of Sir Hans Capon, and we didn't get off to a very good start; we ended up brawling in the tavern. Sir Hanush is punishing both of us by sending us hunting together. It was clear that neither one of us was looking forward to the expedition.
I'm to meet Sir Hans Capon in the morning in the courtyard of Rattay Upper Castle.
After a brief and none too amicable agreement, we set off together on the hunt.
I'd better keep up with Sir Hans, so I don't lose him.
The time passed quickly on the way and soon we arrived at the campsite where we were to spend the night.
Sir Hans is going to a camp site between Neuhof and Uzhitz. I should get there as quick as I can.
If you have not followed Sir Hans, you must go to the camp on your own.
Sir Hans didn't wait, and rode to the camp site without me, so I went there alone.
It seems I'm the first one at the camp. Now I just have to wait for Sir Hans.
I arrived first at the base camp for the hunt. Sir Hans came a bit later.
Hardly had we settled down in the camp site than Sir Hans ordered me to bring him wine and bacon from his saddlebag.
We'd hardly settled down in the camp and Sir Hans was already ordering me around. No doubt he's used to having servants running around at his beck and call! Well, what could I do? I brought him the wine and bacon he asked for.
We'd hardly settled down in the camp and Sir Hans was already ordering me around. No doubt he's used to having servants running around at his beck and call! Well, I left him to go hungry, which he certainly wasn't happy about.
It's too late to do anything today. We have to wait till morning for hunting.
It was already too late to go hunting, so we slept overnight at the camp.
It's too late now to carry on hunting. We to wait until morning.
The wager begins. I have to shoot as many hares as I can before noon.
Before we set out hunting, Sir Hans and I made a little wager about who would bag the most hares. I spent the whole morning doing my utmost to win.
It's noon, time to go back to Sir Hans at the camp and compare our tallies.
I met Sir Hans on the way and we compared our catches.
Sir Hans is still creeping around somewhere. I'll have to wait for him.
Time to compare my tally with Lord Capon's.
Ha! I managed to beat Sir Hans' hare-hunting tally and win the bet, so now he has to address me as "Esteemed Master Huntsman"! This hunt was starting to look like fun.
It seems the young lord really is as experienced a hunter as he claims. He bagged more hares than I did and won the bet.
In the end there was nothing to compare. Neither Sir Hans nor I managed to shoot a single hare. Seems we're one as bad as the other when it comes to hunting.
Sir Hans and I were done with hunting hares. Time to move on to the next hunting ground. I have to follow Sir Hans.
Sir Hans and I were done with hunting hares. First thing in the morning we moved on to the next hunting ground. This time, we were on the lookout for boars.
We came on a wild boar after a while and Sir Hans shot it with an arrow, which wasn't the best idea. The boar is only wounded and we have to chase it down.
If you already have a horse during the hunt (could be stolen one) ...
We came on a wild boar after a while and Sir Hans shot it with an arrow, which wasn't the best idea. The boar was only wounded and took off into the woods. We managed to chase it down though, but it didn't bring us much luck...
otherwise ...
We came on a wild boar after a while and Sir Hans shot it with an arrow, which wasn't the best idea. The boar was only wounded and took off into the woods. While we were chasing it down, I lost Sir Hans somewhere in the woods.
Without a horse.
I have to find Sir Hans quickly.
It turned out Sir Hans ran into some Cumans while hunting the boar. They've taken him captive.
I have to free Sir Hans from the clutches of the Cumans before something happens to him.
I managed to kill the Cumans who took Sir Hans captive. Now to untie His Lordship.
After giving it a bit of thought, I untied Sir Hans and set him free.
Now I have to follow Sir Hans quietly and carefully.
Luck was with us and the two of us managed to get away from the Cuman camp. This hunt has turned out a lot more adventurous than either of us expected. We won't forget it in a hurry.

With a horse.
We charged at full speed into a Cuman camp and Sir Hans fell off his horse. The Cumans have been dealt with, but I have to check if Sir Hans is alright.
Kill the two cuman soldiers then talk to Sir Hans.
