Detailed WalkthroughEdit

A guarded elderly thiefEdit

On the north side of Delfran's Hideout, in a room west of the Infirmary, you will find several bandits are guarding an elderly thief. If you dispatch the bandits, the thief will identify himself as Sgt. Grell and explain that he wishes to retire. However, he needs some papers locked away in a chest he cannot access. He offers to give you the key to the bandits' treasury if you get the papers for him.

Finding the PapersEdit

The papers are in the Bandit Training rooms, south of the Infirmary. There are two chests in the room; the one on the right contains a letter of introduction and a new forged identity for Grell. Unfortunately it also has a 1/3 chance of being trapped.

If you are lucky and don't trigger the trap, the message "A dazzling light shines from the chest, and a pair of ethereal hands rise, touch your shoulder, slides over your shoulder blade, down to your shadow. The hands move around your shadow, feeling, searching. A flash, then hands and light are gone. The chest opens." appears.

If you are unlucky, the message reads "A dazzling light shines from the chest, then shimmers, pulses. Your shadow twists into sharp shapes, shapes which stab you with searing pain. The light stops, and the chest opens. Inside is some worn parchment" and you lose six points of health.

In either case, the chest opens to reveal the required documents.

Return to Grell and finding the TreasuryEdit

When you return the papers to Grell; you'll receive the promised key and finish the quest. You might want to use the key to open the Treasury, which has several chests of loot behind a featureless door to the left of the Infirmary.

NotesEdit

  • The Ethereal Hands are one of the first mentions of Shadowmagic in the game.
