Detailed Walkthrough

The Baandari are in a bit of a predicament. They hired a mercenary group to protect them in light of the dangers permeating Malabal Tor. However, things are getting a bit shaky, and the Baandari patriarch, Eraral-dro, is worried that the mercenaries may turn on them soon. He wants you to investigate a courier's camp north of town and see if you can find a clue as to what they might do next.

Head north towards the courier's camp. There is a book on a bench with a note between its pages. Read the note, and the courier will appear. There is a set of orders on the courier's corpse. Pick them up and return to Eraral-dro. He will then ask to speak to you in his office, at Rejmina's House. He wants you to sneak into the mercenaries' camp and give forged orders to their captain. You will need to take a disguise off the courier's body, who has been brought upstairs by Eraral's cohorts. She seems a bit confused at first, but she rolls with the orders. Return to Eraral to find out what you need to do next.

Werewolves have appeared on the edge of town, on Four Quarry Islet. You need to kill a werewolf, cut off its paw, then assassinate the three mercenary commanders present on the island and use the paw to make it look like they were slain by werewolves. This should throw the mercenaries' leadership into disarray. You need to kill Commanders Concordia, Jano and Tacita. Once the deed is done, return to Eraral-dro near the stables.

Notes

• Courier Rufinus will continue to have a courier disguise in his loot inventory after you physically strip the uniform from his corpse and leave him in his underwear. This is so that if you lose the original disguise you can acquire a new one, however it doesn't make visual sense.
• Captain Aurelia Blasio won't exist in the mercenary camp before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.
• The Gold Coast commanders on the islet don't give experience or loot when killed.

Bugs

• The objective marker remains over the book after the hostile courier arrives instead of updating to indicate to defeat him. The prompt on the book remains but does nothing when used again. ^?

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
