Detailed Walkthrough

The Ransom

Speak to the quest giver, who says:

"If you are available for employment, I may a job for you. It's a messy little affair, involving punishing a thief. It will mean a (random gold) gold piece reward. Sounds like something you'd be at all interested in?"

Accept

The quest giver goes on:

"We seldom take a vigilante stand in our affairs, but in this case, we feel justified. This thief, you see, stole directly from one of our caravans and is ransoming us for use of the highway. Such nerve. You will find the little thug in a hideout called (dungeon). Be back in (time limit) days.

Decline

The quest giver answers:

"Disappointing. Well, we'll find someone else doubtlessly."

Stopping the Bandit

This quest is a typical dungeon crawl. Head to the dungeon named by the quest giver and enter it. Find your target within, who may be an assassin, a nightblade, a spellsword or a thief. There may be multiple enemies of these types within the dungeon, but you must kill a specific target for the quest to count as a success. When hit for the first time, the target enemy will shout:

"You must be from the Resolution. Prepare to die, bounty hunter!"

Once the bandit is dead, return to the Temple to collect the bounty.

Reward

When you report back after the highwayman is dead, the quest giver will say:

"Very good job, (player's first name). That ought to discourage other highwaymen. Here's your (random gold) gold. Thank you."

• "That robber moved to a different hideout, but the roads still aren't safe."

• "The merchants are pretty happy that they finally got that thief."

• "Of course I'll chat with you, (player's first name). I remember those highwaymen you killed."

If you failed the quest, the quest giver will greet you with:
