'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Hm... you look battlehardened. I wonder if I could entice you with some mercenary work, traveler?
:› What needs doing? [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-401|→]]
:› I'm gathering allies for an assault on the bandit fortress.<ref>Requires quest [[Assault on the Bandit Fortress]] (phase 1).</ref> [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-408|→]]
:› Not at this time. ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' It's these blasted bandits! They prey on merchant barges traversing up and down the river, and there doesn't seem to be a thing I can do about it!
:› Why's that? [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-402|→]]
:› But you think I can? [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-403|→]]

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' I simply haven't got the numbers here! Marshal Harrington has tasked me to restore order up the river here, near Aurfield, but all he grants me is a few half-trained sacks of porridge as men. How does he expect me to face down a seemingly endless horde of river pirates with that?!
:› Then what do you expect from me? [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-403|→]]

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' The pirates have set up three camps along the river nearby, each commanded by a captain. I'm thinking someone capable and unhidered - like you - could sneak up to the camps and take out the captains for us. Cut the heads off the hydra in a manner of speaking.
:› Continue [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-405|→]]

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Once you've dealt with the captains, recovering some of the cargo the bandits have plundered would be a great service to the city of Haywind. I understand I'm asking for a lot here, but at this point I'm hoping for a miracle to drive the pirates away.
:› I don't exactly work for free. [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-406|→]]
:› Tell me more about their camps. [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-404|→]]
:› I'll see what I can do. [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-407|→]]

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' I understand, and I'm not asking you to risk yourself for the good of your heart. I'm sure we can allocate an adequate share of the stolen cargo as a reward, once you manage to recover it.
:› Tell me more about their camps. [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-404|→]]
:› I'll see what I can do. [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-407|→]]

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Based on my scouting, there are three of them spread out over the river banks on the opposite side of Aurfield, just north of here. Each one is commanded by a captain, and they ruthlessly hoard cargo stolen from river barges on those campsites.
:› You know I don't exactly work for free? [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-406|→]]
:› I'll see what I can do. [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-407|→]]

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' That's all I'm asking for, thank you traveler!
:› Continue ''([[The River Pirates]]: starts the quest)'' ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Ah, Zathe sent you, I presume? I would join you, but I can't just abandon my mission here. If I leave this post now, the river will be overrun with raiders in no time! Things would be different if you were to help me deal with the pirates though...
:› What needs doing? [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-401|→]]
:› I'll check in later. ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' If you were to sneak up on the pirate encampments, take out their captains and recover some of the cargo they've plundered, the city of Haywind would be ever so greatful. Also, I'm sure we can appropriate a portion of the cargo to you as a reward.
:› I come bearing salvaged cargo...<ref>Requires quest [[The River Pirates]] (phase 2). Requires 5× [[Salvaged Cargo Crate]].</ref> [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-413|→]]
:› Tell me about the pirate camps. [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-411|→]]
:› Why haven't you been able to deal with the river bandits yourself? [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-412|→]]
:› I'm gathering allies for an assault on the bandit fortress.<ref>Requires quest [[Assault on the Bandit Fortress]] (phase 1).</ref> [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-415|→]]
:› Leave. ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Hah! You're a right miracle-worker. My men report the pirates are scrambling, which means you took out their captains like I asked. I'm sure they'll elect new ones before too long, but your actions should've bought us some respite.
:› Continue [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-414|→]]

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' The cargo's what's really valuable to us though. And would you look at that - there's a pirate dagger of all things, hidden here in the crates! It's all yours, and if you were to pick a fight with them pirates again, keep an eye out for any more cargo would you? I'll be happy to divulge a share of the contents for every five crates you bring back.
:› I'll bear that in mind. ''([[The River Pirates]]: completes the quest; hand over 5× [[Salvaged Cargo Crate]])'' ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Based on my scouting, there are three of them spread out over the river banks on the opposite side of Aurfield, just north of here. Each one is commanded by a captain, and they ruthlessly hoard cargo stolen from river barges on those campsites.

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' If it isn't my favorite merc around these parts. I wouldn't dare hope you've been giving hell to the river pirates north of here, would I?
:› I do come bearing salvaged cargo... '' *5 crates required* ''<ref>Requires 5× [[Salvaged Cargo Crate]].</ref> [[#dlg-Dialogue_MiscHaywindQuests-422|→]]

:› I'm afraid not... ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' That's music to my ears! These ought to bring some relief to the citizens of Haywind - your compensation is well earned. Still, more is always needed, if you happen to come across it.
:› I'll bear that in mind. ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Your previous efforts have kept them at bay for now, but they continue to reinforce their men, presumably straight from that fortress they've set up in the woods further west. If you happen to assault their camps again, I'd be happy to take any stolen cargo you find off your hands, for a reward of course.

:› Alright. ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Ah yes, Zathe must have sent you. I understand, you've helped me a great deal in protecting the river, but things here won't ever really improve until we take the fight to their fortress. I'm glad somebody finally has the sense to do just that. You can tell Zathe I'll be rounding up my most capable men for the effort.
:› Excellent! ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Wouldn't have guessed when I first laid my eyes on you that you'd bring about such a change in our fortunes against the bandit horde. It's time Deputy Rieler and I now do our part in restoring order back to this land!
:› Very good. ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Glad to see you in one piece, never know what's gonna happen in a fight like that. Things devolve to pure chaos, just gotta push through... but we got him in the end, didn't we? Got that Blackshield nice and good, alright...
:› We uncovered proof that Azzar Kheyn is a traitor.<ref>Requires quest [[Assault on the Bandit Fortress]] (phase 7).</ref> [[#dlg-Dialogue_HaywindMaraudersQuests-921|→]]
:› Leave. ''(end)''

'''Deputy Ernsthart:''' Aye, so Zathe told me. Looks like there's one more loose end to tie up before we can get some well deserved rest, eh? Well we stand ready and vigilant, the traitor Kheyn won't be escaping us.
:› Very good. ''(end)''
