Main Quests

We went to the mines to go get silver ore for the rebellion - but Brencis caught wind of our plans and attacked. I was wounded, I passed out - I don't remember what happened afterwards. All I know is that my father went missing and I need to find him.

Objectives:

• Search for your father deeper in the mine - Vlad says some of our men ran deeper into the mine. My father might be with them. I need to find him.
• Aid Ludwig - Ludwig is trapped under a beam - if we don't help him, he will die.
• Help Kostel - Kostel is wounded. We need to help him before he bleeds to death.
• Find a way back up - I fell down a shaft, into the lower levels of the mine. I need to find a way back up.
• Use vrakhiri skills to cross the precipice - I need to use my newly acquired skills to cross the precipice.
• Leave the mine - My family is in grave danger. I need to find a way out of the mines.
• Return to Laslea and save your family (2T) - I need to get back to Laslea as soon as possible and save my family from Brencis.
• (Optional) Find Vladimir (1T)- Vlad must have left the mines on his own. I should find him and make sure he's alright.
• Talk with Vladimir - I should talk with Vlad and discuss what happened to me.
• Defeat Brencis - Brencis sacked Laslea. I need to defeat him in order to save my family.

Endings:

• I failed to stop Brencis. He toyed with me like a cat tormenting a mouse - and then left me out in the open, to burn in the sun. Only - I didn't. Why?
• I still can't believe it - Brencis is dead! Slayed by my hand! Who would've thought - who would've dared to hope. Only - what now?

Anca claims the forbidden books held at St. Tyna's contain ancient wisdom I need in order to defeat the vrakhiri. Problem is, the convent isn't the safe haven it used to be...

Objectives:

• Meet with Anca at the old inn - Anca told me to meet her at the old inn near St. Tyna's - and we'll go to the monastery together from there.
• Make your way through the fog - This fog - it's not natural, that's for sure. We should stick together and watch each other's backs as we approach St. Tyna's.
• Investigate the body - Travelling through this ungodly fog, we came across a fresh body. Might be a good idea to give it a look-over - and find out what dangers lurk here.
• Open the convent gates - We managed to get to St. Tyna's - and were surprised to hear voices coming from within. What's going on? We need to open the gates and see for ourselves.
• Investigate the dead nun - The nun - she's dead, and yet she came after us. How's it even possible? We need to take a closer look, see what we can learn.
• Follow Anca through the refectory building - Turns out the whole convent is infested with undead nuns. We managed to safely hide inside the refectory building - but what now? Anca suggested we take a closer look at the convent from the balcony before we decide anything.
• Secure a safe passage to the library for Anca - The books are somewhere in the library - which Anca cannot safely access with all the undead nuns milling about. I need to figure out how to secure a safe passage for her.
• Check out the chapel bells - From what I understand, the convent bells were used to inform the nuns what they were supposed to do. I wonder if I can use this to my advantage.
• Return to Anca - I've managed to open a secure passage to the library - I need to tell Anca we're good to go.
• Push the bookcase out of the way - The forbidden volumes are hidden behind a bookcase. Let's push it out of the way, then.
• Descend to the catacombs - Someone took the forbidden books - and brought them down to the catacombs. Though I don't like it one bit, we need to follow.
• Look for keys - Lots of locked doors around the convent. But I'm sure I can find the right keys to open them.
• Look for keys in the caretaker's shed - There was a caretaker at the convent - and he had a shed. I'd bet my money there are some keys to be found there.
• Search for the forbidden books in the catacombs - We know someone took the forbidden books down to the catacombs. We need to find them.
• Follow Anca - Anca knows this convent like the back of her hand - let her show me the way.
• Defeat the undead nun - We were attacked by a nun who's neither quite dead, nor alive. I need to strike her down all the same.
• Defeat Leonica - Now we know who brought the curse upon the convent - it was Anca's old friend, Leonica. But now, there's no talking to her - I need to put her down before she kills us both.
• Wait for Anca or come back later - I'm at the inn - but Anca isn't here yet. I can wait for her, or come back some time later.
• Check out the infirmary - There's smoke coming out of the infirmary's chimney. So there's someone inside - someone who still has their wits about them.
• Check out the bell tower - What's inside the bell tower, I wonder - other than the bells? Only one way to find out.
• Check out the chapel - The chapel used to be the heart of the convent - if there are any clues as to what happened here, I bet that's where I'll find them.
• Investigate the sounds coming from the infirmary - What's that I heard coming from the infirmary - voices? I should check who's inside.
• Talk to Anca - Leonica is dead - as it turns out, she was behind the evil that took over St. Tyna's. Anca is browsing through her books now. I should look around the room and approach Anca when ready.
• Search for bell instructions in the dormitory - It seems the nuns had some sort of instructions for the convent's bell signals. Maybe I can find them in the dormitory.

Blood Mass is tonight - and Knyaz Brencis and his retinue will be at the church to oversee the collection of tithes. We're worried about Mum. Vrakhiri don't look kindly on the weak.

Objectives:

• Pass time until sunset - There's still some time until the Mass. I'm free to spend it as I see fit.
• Go back to Pieter to wait till the Mass - I could spent the rest of the day with Dad and we'd go to the Mass together.
• Talk with other villagers - The whole village is here. A good opportunity to catch up with neighbours.
• Sit in the pew next to Pieter and Esme - The Mass begins soon, I should take a seat.

Endings:

• Thanks to Anca's herbs, Mum made it through this mass. But Brencis made it clear that he won't tolerate such weakness among his subjects. What do we do now? Reward: 250XP
• I failed my mother, and now she's dead by Brencis's hand. But my father and I - we'll avenge her.

According to Mert, a girl named Sara is the contact for the manumits. However, she may have already been captured by soldiers at the rendezvous point in the nearby woods.

Objectives:

• Go to the bridge near Stoneward Post - Mert told me how to find the rendezvous point used by the manumits. I must go to the bridge near Stoneward Post and then head southeast.
• Reach the rendezvous point - I found the bridge that the miller pointed out. Now, I must head southeast to reach the rendezvous point.
• Rescue Sara - I should rescue her from Brencis's goons. And if I do, she might lead me to Crake, the leader of the manumits.
• Follow Sara - I have rescued Sara, and she has agreed to lead me to Crake.
• Figure out what happened to Sara - Instead of Sara, I found only a pile of corpses at the rendezvous point. I need to figure out what happened to her.
• Retrieve your weapons - The soldier at the gate of Stoneward Post confiscated my weapons. I need to retrieve them.
• Find the rendezvous point - I am finally about to make contact with the infamous manumits.

Endings:

I spoke with Crake, though the meeting went rather differently than I had imagined. I must earn his trust if the manumits are to aid me against Brencis.

What happened? I'm alive - but how? Did Brencis turn me or not? And where's my family? I need to find them, and soon.

Objectives:

• Go to Laslea with Anca - I need to find out what happened to my family, where to look for them.
• Search your family home - Laslea is sacked, but my house is still standing. Maybe there's someone there - hiding?
• Return to Anca - No sign of my family. What I am supposed to do now? I'd better consult with Anca.
• Cast Compel Soul on the dead soldier - Anca taught me something - I now know a spell that can make the dead talk. I find it hard to believe... But let's try.
• Find items of importance to the dead soldier - The dead soldier spoke - but briefly, haltingly. Anca says I need to find objects the deceased man either owned or was looking at as he passed.
• Cast Compel Soul on the dead soldier and use the catalysts - Anca said that those items of importance might make the corpse talk a bit more. Time to see for myself if that's true.
• Go to the village gate - I won't find anything more in Laslea - I need to get out of here.
• Remove the rubble blocking the gate (7T) - My family has been captured - and time is running out. I need to act. First obstacle - the rubble blocking my way out of Laslea's ruins.

Ending:

• My home is destroyed, people I love were kidnapped, and I've been turned into some sort of a monster. Well, great. But I'll make Brencis pay for all this - I'll find a way.

How to start:

The manumits. I've heard this name before - they are a group of rebels who challenge Brencis's rule in the valley. Elusive and secretive, they won't be easy to find... But if I manage to do it, perhaps we can join forces against a common enemy.

Objectives:

• Search Vlad's hut - I know Vlad joined the manumits. Maybe I can find some clues in his hut that will lead me to them.
• Go to the mill (1T) - It appears that the miller has been smuggling contraband for the manumits. I need to speak with him about this.
• (Optional) Kill the soldiers - The soldiers sniffing around Mert and Renna's mill are clearly up to no good. I could save some time by simply getting rid of them...
• Return to the mill during the day - I went to Mert and Renna's mill but stumbled upon a group of soldiers there. Maybe I should try again during the day, when they're gone.
• Go to Stoneward Post - Soldiers are holding captured manumits at Stoneward Post. If I speak with the rebels there, I may learn where to find their leader.
• Speak to the overseer (1T) - To meet the miller, I must speak with the prison overseer first.
• Talk with the angry woman - I've overheard an angry woman screaming at a soldier about some stolen goods. Maybe I can learn more about the issue.
• (Optional) Talk with the merchant - A woman in the Stoneward Post told me she left a blanket for her imprisoned husband - only to find it amidst merchant Yenno's goods. I should ask him about this and see if I can learn something useful.
• Fight Cerbus - The prison overseer will allow me to speak with the miller if I defeat a soldier named Cerbus, who busted his eye.
• Go back to the overseer - I should go back to the prison overseer and tell him about my fight with Cerbus.
• Speak with the miller (2T) - I can finally go down to the prison cells and speak with the miller.

Endings:

• Getting in touch with the manumits has proven to be even harder than I thought. I am close, though - just need to dig a little deeper...

My father has a list of chores ready for me, as usual. I better get to it.

Objectives:

• Take your clothes out of the storage chest - I need to get ready for the day and dress up.
• Split logs for firewood - I need to chop up some firewood so we can cook breakfast.
• Add the firewood to the stove - I have to fetch Dad the firewood.
• Pick up your sword - I should get my sword – it's a dangerous world out there.
• Obtain medicinal herbs from Anca - I need to go to Anca and fetch new herbs to help my mother. She's getting worse and it's Blood Mass tonight...
• Look for Anca - Anca's not at home. I need to find her.
• Follow Anca - Anca agreed to help. I need to follow her back to her hut.
• Bring the herbs back to Pieter and read the recipe from Anca - I have the herbs from Anca – now I need to bring them back to Dad and read the recipe. - Use a hot water, and add three spoonfuls of herbs.

Endings:

• I did what my father asked of me – what my mother needed of me. I gave her the herbs – let's hope that's enough to keep her safe.
• I haven't managed to get the herbs for my mother in time. Now she will have to face Brencis at her weakest. May the Heavens protect her.
