Bestowal dialogue

'Pardon me, do you think I could take up some o' your time? I haven't had any word o' me son Covell since this brigand nonsense began, and I'm mighty scared that he got caught up in some trouble.

'We lived in Archet till recently, but we had an argument -- I'm sure ye know how boys are -- and Covell left all in a huff. He said he would make his own way, down in Combe, and that's the last I heard o' him. Now that I've come to Combe, I hear he's gone east!

'If ye don't mind, could ye talk to Constable Wren for me? She watches the road east out o' Combe, and maybe she's seen Covell pass.'

Background

Maida Woodwright had an argument with her son Covell, and she has not seen him since. The Blackwold activity in the area has made her nervous, and she is seeking news of him.

Objective 1

Constable Wren is at the guard-house, east of Combe.

Maida Woodwright has asked that you speak with Constable Wren regarding the whereabouts of her son, Covell.

Maida Woodwright: 'I hope Covell didn't get into any trouble! Constable Wren may have seen him pass. She watches the road east out of Combe.'
Constable Wren: 'Looking for Covell Woodwright, are you? I've heard something about the boy, but I can't say his mother is going to like it.
'He's joined up with the Blackwolds. He hadn't been in Combe for long when they took him, either. He tried finding work around town, but he didn't have the stamina for hard labour.
'If you can talk to him, you might convince him to give up his new line of "work," but I doubt it. I wager you'll find him east of Combe, in the Chetwood. Just follow the path from the lumber camp north and east... you're sure to come across a Blackwold camp or two up there.'

Objective 2

Covell may be found at one of the Blackwold camps north and east of the Combe lumber camp.

Maida Woodwright sent you to speak with Constable Wren, who suggested that Covell joined the Blackwolds and would likely be found near one of their camps in the Chetwood.

Constable Wren: 'Covell Woodwright is probably with his Blackwold friends in the Chetwood, east of here. It could be that you will convince him to give up his lawless ways, but I rather doubt it.'
Covell Woodwright: 'What's that? Me mother sent you to find me?
'I... I don't care! I've never been good at anything in my life, but now I've found something I can do and do right good! You're going to regret coming into Blackwold territory!'
Covell Woodwright says, "You may have won this round, but I will never abandon the Blackwold!"
Covell Woodwright says, "Now tell my mum to leave me be!"

Objective 3

  • Talk to Constable Wren

Constable Wren patrols near the guard-house on the hill south of the lumber camp and east of Combe.

You discovered Covell Woodwright on the path leading through the Chetwood, and he attacked you. Though you defeated him, he escaped deeper into the woods. Constable Wren will want to hear of your encounter with the brigand.

Constable Wren: 'You fought with Covell Woodwright, but he escaped? Well, his sort will not be able to flee forever. I feel the time of the Blackwold brigands is coming to an end.
'It seems I was right, and he will never give up his lawlessness. His mother will not be pleased to hear it.'

Objective 4

Maida Woodwright is back in Combe.

Maida Woodwright must be told that her son Covell has joined the Blackwold brigands.

Constable Wren: 'It will not be easy, but you must tell Maida that her son has joined the Blackwold brigands. She should know the truth.'
Maida Woodwright: 'What? Covell has joined those villains in truth? I refuse to believe it! He's a good boy, even if he has a temper. He's a Woodwright, through and through, and would never do such a thing! Ye shouldn't say such horrible things, and to an old woman!
'Ah, what am I saying? I knew the boy had landed hisself in a spot o' trouble. Thank ye... thank ye at last for finding him.'
