Sasha Stonefort: I could hear every word they told you, can you believe those two?! Ugh, my father is such a fool!

› And you are? →

Sasha Stonefort: I'm Sasha, the mayor's daughter. Look, there's clearly something sinister going on. I've been trying to tell my father we need to get to the bottom of it, but he prefers burying his head in the sand!

› Continue →

Sasha Stonefort: Instead he'd rather listen to the advice of that rat of a merchant, Azzar. I do not like him... he strikes me as someone who's only interested in lining his own pockets. He's not even from our city, he doesn't have its best interests at heart!

Sasha Stonefort: Oh, I've been engaged in some intrigue... *She giggles excitedly.* So, I was asking questions around the tavern and I met this guy Bren. Classic tough guy, a bit of a thug really, and so intent on impressing me I think I managed to wrap him around my finger.

Sasha Stonefort: Anyway, since he hangs out a lot with other lowlife types, I thought he might've heard something, or at least knows some guy who knows some guy. I set up a 'date' with him, but he wants to meet me alone at the old quarry. That's a rough place, even I know that... so I need someone like you to go in my place.

› Describe Bren a bit more, how would I recognize him? →
› One last thing... he's expecting you, so what will I say to him? →

Sasha Stonefort: He's a young guy, fairly handsome, very intense looking you know? Oh - he was wearing a distinct red cloak! I don't think there's anything to fear from him really, he's probably one of those guys who acts a bit tough on the outside, but has a heart of gold within!

› What's the old quarry? →
› Uhhuh... he's expecting you, so what will I say to him? →

Sasha Stonefort: Um, oh... I hadn't really thought that far. Hmm, well... Tell him that I hate it here and want to elope with him. But I'm really concerned about dangers on the road, I need to be assured he can keep me safe... so I need to know what he knows about the bandits in the area...?

› Sounds flimsy, better hope he's not too bright... (Something Suspicious: starts the quest) (end)

Sasha Stonefort: Typical! Nobody wants to take on any responsibility around here! I could make it worth your while, you know. Anyway, I'll be here if you change your mind.

Sasha Stonefort: Oh, it's you again. Please tell me your curiosity got the better of you? I don't know who else to turn to, but somebody must do something about those bandits preying on our countryside!

› Let's start from the beginning, remind who I'm talking to? →
› I don't think I should meddle... (end)

Sasha Stonefort: I know it's a long shot, but somebody must know something. Even if it's not Bren, at the least he may be able to point us to someone who does.

› Hold on, there was a letter he dropped...[3] (end)

Sasha Stonefort: Oh my! What... what happened? Were you able to learn anything? Who was he, or why did he want me dead?

› I was forced to strike him down, but he was carrying this letter... *You hand over the shady letter.* →

Sasha Stonefort: *Sasha's eyes scan over the letter multiple times, then she lets out a sharp gasp.*

But do you know what this means? Whoever they are, they don't want me prodding around asking questions. It means I was right - there is a conspiracy!

Sasha Stonefort: The letter is signed by a 'Lord Blackshield', do you know of such a man? During his meetings I've heard my father mention some bandit leaders by name... but never a Lord Blackshield... hmm...

› The marauders have many leaders? →
› Any idea who would know? →

Sasha Stonefort: Yes, I've heard mention of names such as Tyros the Horrifying, Evelyn the Bloodletter, Serrane the Executioner, Garvin the Deceitful, and some other smaller leaders. There's no doubt that the marauders attacking the countryside comprise of numerous different gangs. But there must be someone who brought them together in a unified goal!

› You think this 'Lord Blackshield' could secretly be pulling the strings? →
› Any idea who would know? →

Sasha Stonefort: It's possible, but we need to find more information on who he is before we can be sure. And more importantly, I want to know why they're attacking our city!

› The marauders have many leaders? →
› Any idea who would know? →

Sasha Stonefort: Oh, I'm not sure... I don't really know about these things, and my one attempt at establishing an underworld contact did nothing but put me at risk of getting killed. We need help, but my father just won't listen...

Sasha Stonefort: But there is someone who has tried speaking sense to my father - the old veteran Zathe! He went off to investigate a disturbance within the cemeteries of Spruce Shade woods, I hope he's returned by now...

› Ah yes, I may have run into him once already. →

Sasha Stonefort: He's wise and experienced, and I've always shared his opinions about the bandit menace. When he comes back from assignments, he usually heads to the Singing Sparrow Tavern for a mug of ale, south within the city. Please look for him there and show him the letter - he must know what to do!

› Very well. (Something Suspicious: advances to phase 4) (end)

Sasha Stonefort: The old veteran Zathe has always been one to try and talk sense into my father. He's wise and experienced, and I've always shared his opinions about the bandit menace. He must know what to do about that letter, I only hope he's returned from his assignment in Spruce Shade Rest...

› Where did you say I should look for him again? →
› What do you know about who the bandit leaders are? →
› What do you make of your father's friend, Azzar? →
› Did I leave the Shady Letter with you...?[4] →
› Never mind. (end)

Sasha Stonefort: Whenever he makes it back from assignments, he has a habit of heading to the Singing Sparrow Tavern for a mug of ale, south within the city. Please look for him there and show him the letter - he must know what to do.

› What do you know about who the bandit leaders are? →
› What do you make of your father's friend, Azzar? →
› Very well. (end)

Sasha Stonefort: While listening in on my father's council, I've heard mention of names such as Tyros the Horrifying, Evelyn the Bloodletter, Serrane the Executioner, Garvin the Deceitful, and some other smaller leaders. There's no doubt that the marauders attacking the countryside comprise of numerous different gangs. But there must be someone who brought them together in a unified goal!

› You think this 'Lord Blackshield' from the letter could secretly be pulling the strings? →
› What do you make of your father's friend, Azzar? →
› Where did you say I should look for Zathe again? →
› You may be right. (end)

Sasha Stonefort: It's possible, but we need to find more information on who he is before we can be sure. And more importantly, I want to know why they're attacking our city!

› What do you make of your father's friend, Azzar? →
› Where did you say I should look for Zathe again? →
› Curious, indeed. (end)

Sasha Stonefort: I don't trust him. I think he's enticed my father with stories of wealth he's generated in faraway Vhosphoran Oases, and convinced him that the future prosperity of our city lies in the hands of men such as himself. I think my father's being naive and greedy... How do we even know there's any truth to the man's stories? I bet he's nothing but a swindler!

› What do you know about who the bandit leaders are? →
› Where did you say I should look for Zathe again? →
› I see. (end)

Sasha Stonefort: Oh, yes! Here you are, please show it to Zathe. Hopefully he'll have returned from Spruce Shade's Rest by now. If so, you're likely to find him at the Singing Sparrow Tavern, south within the city.

› I see. (receive Shady Letter) (end)
