1. Meet up with the merchant in the harbor: While visiting Thornhill’s harbor inn, I chanced upon a merchant looking to establish a trade route over the river between the cities of Thornhill and Haywind, since the bandits robbing caravans around Haywind have caused the city to be starving for goods.The merchant’s looking to enlist my help and asked me to meet him in Thornhill’s harbor, where he claims to have bought a suitable river barge.
2. Restore the merchant's river barge: I caught up with the man in Thornhill harbor. The boat the merchant had acquired for the job turned out to have seen better days. In truth, the poor thing looks ready to sink the instant it’s pushed off the jetty.With adequate skill in crafting and the right tools, I might be able to fix it up though. I should inspect the boat to figure out exactly what I'll need.
3. Look for a sailor at the harbor inn: Now that the river barge is repaired, I should head back to Thornhill’s harbor inn to look for an experienced sailor. One will be needed to navigate the river in order to successfully evade a potential bandit ambush.
4. Find a way to recruit the sailor: I entered the inn and found a loudmouth sailor with a terrible attitude, who refused to even consider the gig unless I first bribe him with 5 mugs of beer. Sadly, there don’t seem to be any other sailors available…
5. Return to the merchant at the harbor: I persuaded the sailor to take on the job, although he doesn’t seem all too trustworthy… I should get back to the merchant at the harbor.
6. Use the river barge to start the journey: The river boat is serviceable and we have a sailor to guide us through the river banks – all the preparations have been made! The merchant tells me he will travel over land to greet us on the other side at Haywind harbor.All that remains is to board the boat and begin the journey.
7. Defeat the treacherous sailor mate: To no great surprise, the sailor William turned on me in the hopes of collecting my share of the payment upon return. It will be him, not I, whose journey ends on this island.
8. Finish the journey on the river barge: Now that the scoundrel has been dealt with, I can take the barge and make my way to the destination.
9. Speak with the merchant: I have arrived and I see the merchant Baynes is already here to greet me. I should talk to him.
10. Quest complete!: Establishing safe trade to the city besieged by bandits is a noble duty.
