Quest Group: Tasks

Start location: Port Maje

With a host of traders left stranded at Port Maje by the storm's destruction, there are no vacancies at the local tavern. However, Thorel, the tavernkeeper, is willing to put me up - if I clear out one of the current occupants.

Note: Currently, this page contains raw quest data only. I know that it is not much, and I will try to update it with more valuable information as soon as possible.

Alternate descriptions:

The tavernkeeper at the Port Maje tavern is having trouble with a rowdy group of traders staying in one of the rooms upstairs. He offered me a discount if I clear them out. He'd rather I not harm them, though taking a swing or two isn't out of the question.

Quest stages of The Better Man

1. Find Galian.

Thorel identified the lead culprit as Galian, a merchant captain. I'll find him and his crew upstairs, in the room furthest to the back.

2. Convince Galian to leave.

I've found Galian and his compatriots. Judging by the stink of this place, they've been wallowing in drink for days.

3. Return to Thorel.

I dealt with Galian. I should head back to Thorel and let him know what happened.

4. Defeat Galian.

Galian's challenged me to a fight. I'll have to defend myself.

5. Other updates

Galian and his buddies are putting up a fight. I'll have to consider my approach.

6. Endings

Someone critical to the completion of this quest has been killed

I convinced the roustabouts to be on their way, and the tavernkeeper agreed to let me stay in the inn at a discount. Having somewhere to rest while I'm in town ought to come in handy.

Reward: 1200 copper.

Thorel wasn't exactly thrilled by my methods, but I convinced him to let me make use of the room I cleared out. Having somewhere to rest while I'm in Port Maje ought to come in handy.

I decided to deal with Galian and his crew more directly. The innkeeper didn't appreciate it as much as I'd hoped.
