Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'I will not allow Bedwyr to get away again! He's probably going to try and hide among his half-orc allies, but he doesn't know that we can track him wherever he goes!

'The half-orcs control a bridge to the north. Go there, defeat Bedwyr's allies, and look for some clue to my bounty's whereabouts.'

Background

Melona is not willing to abandon the hunt for the bounty she seeks to claim.

Objective 1

Defeat half-orcs in Sedgemead or Ruddymore (0/6)

Melona told you that Bedwyr has worked in the past with half-orcs, and he might have gone looking for such allies at a bridge to the north.

Objective 2

Read the discarded parchment on the bridge defended by half-orcs

The bridge across the river in Sedgemead might hold some clue to Bedwyr's location.

Hasty Note: The parchment has hasty writing scrawled upon its surface.

'I am finished with you and your lot! There are bounty hunters after me now, and while I have managed to elude them so far, I'm afraid my luck is soon to run out! I need to find something new. You half-orcs are on your own, and I won't cry for you. Miserable curs! You brought me only trouble, and I have enough of that on my own!

'-Bedwyr.'

Objective 3

Talk to Melona in Sedgemead

Melona is waiting for you where you met her, south of the bridge defended by half-orcs in Sedgemead.

Melona: 'Bedwyr eluded you again? How can this be?

'I will get this bounty, <name>! I need the coin, and I care not that he regrets his alliance with the half-orcs. I will still track him down, and the bounty will be mine!

'You are welcome to give up the chase... but I never will. Now begone.'
