Bestowal dialogue

'Let me just...hmmm...find the right page. Ah! Here we go. I see, I see. So, you stand in the field of stumps and...hmmm...take this many paces...and then that many strides...of course! I remember! The Hanging Tree was the south-east-most tree in that bunch. It was standing there closest to the Staddle Falls!

'Now just...hmmm...go back to that Stump field and you'll find that thing you wanted. What was it you wanted, again? You were digging for something, right? Here, take this pickaxe, it'll make it easier to dig. Least I could do, you finding my ledger!'

Background

Mason Thorne's ledger revealed the location of the old Hanging Tree. Now you can search for Ted Pickthorn's treasure.

Objective 1

The southeasternmost stump in the stump field, the one closest to Staddle Falls, was once the Hanging Tree.

After reading through the ledger you recovered for him, Mason Thorne was able to point you to the location of the Hanging Tree.

Mason Thorne: 'I gave you what...hmmm...you wanted to know, didn't I? you whould go find...hmmm...whatever it was.'
Collected Pickthorn's treasure

Objective 2

Ted Pickthorn is on the east side of Combe.

Following Thorne's instructions, you found the stump of the Hanging Tree. You dug up something buried beneath the stump, but it is not what Ted Pickthorn had led you to believe. His father's treasure appears to be a pair of old boots.

Mason Thorne: 'Did you find what you...hmmm...wanted? It looks from your face like you...hmmm...did. Good for you!'
Ted Pickthorn: 'Wh-what are these? These boots were buried beneath the Hanging Tree? Me dad was a villain to the end! "Wealth enough to keep you warm and shod." Shod, indeed!
'Wait... there's something rattling around inside the heel of this one.' Taking a knife from his pocket, Ted slices into the heel, and gold pieces tumble out into his waiting palm.
'Well, I'll be! My dear old dad told me true! "Wealth enough to keep you warm and shod," indeed! You have my thanks, <name>! With this money, I'll be able to get a new start! I'll do better than my dear old dad, you wait and see!'
