Detailed Walkthrough

Captain Falx Carius

The Captain can be found in his chambers accessed via the General Quarters area at the top of the stairs. Speak with him about Fort Frostmoth, being edgy, disturbing trends, and morale has been low. The Captain basically tells you about the low morale of the troops at the Fort lately and suspects that there is one person in particular that is causing this discontent.

Investigation

The obvious move would be to go around and have a chat with the various guards of the fort. Strangely enough, all guards have seem to come under a great thirst, complaining about how they could use a good drink. If you don't have any drinks on you, there appears to be very little or nothing to purchase in the Fort itself. A quick Mark spell and an Almsivi Intervention will bring you to Gnisis and from there it is a quick trip to Ald'ruhn or another town to buy some drinks.

Of course, there is a much easier way. If you nose around the third floor of the Armory, you notice that Antonius Nuncius has a large number of bottles of assorted spirits in his room and desk. There is also booze scattered all over the fort if you look for it (like the Captain's quarters).

Once you have some drinks, speak to the guards again who will gladly accept some Sujamma from you. The guard will glady inform you that the Fort has become a dry fort by orders of the Captain. Any further questions on this matter does not yield you any more information.

Dry Fort

Return to Captain Carius and speak to him about the dry fort orders. He'll mention that it wasn't really his decision as the alcohol shipments just stopped several months ago. He mentions that the priest Antonius Nuncius as the one trully interested in making the Fort dry.

Find Antonius Nuncius in the ground floor of the Imperial Cult Shrine. He will deny having anything to do with the fort becoming dry and actually pin the blaim on the Captain. Mention that the Captain never banned alcohol and the priest will confirm that the shipments stopped arriving on their own. He seems to get a little annoyed claiming that you have no evidence that he was involved and asks to be left alone.

Antonius Nuncius

It seems that the priest is trying to hide his involvement in the lack of alcohol shipments so some further investigation is required. Speak to any guard once again to learn that Nuncius' office is actually in the Armory. You can speak to Zeno Faustus in the Armory to further learn that the priest's office is upstairs. Perhaps there will be some evidence up there. His office is on the right-hand side of the second floor and you'll find his locked (50) desk inside but you'll only find a bunch of booze inside. You'll also find his closest which appears to be locked with a unique and unpickable lock. You'll have to find the key in order to open it.

Return to Nuncius and speak to him about the dry fort and shipments stopped arriving again and he'll confront you about having peaked in his desk. He admits that he has been hiding the alcohol for the 'benefit' of the soldiers. Mention that you will have to speak to the Captain about the matter.

Back to the Captain

Return to the Captain with the news about Nuncius. You don't have to talk to the Captain about the priest's involvement. The Captain will congratulate you and give you 3 Cure Disease Potions and a Silver Sparkblade as a reward.

If you kept Antonius Nuncius secret he'll give you the key to the unlockable chest and you get about 60 potions .. including 10 skoomas. You tell the Captain that it was just a misunderstanding and he congratulates you and give 3 cure disease potions.
