Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Rurik is a locksmith here in Combe. You should show him that receipt and ask him why the brigands appear to be common patrons of his. 'It seems odd that Rurik would be involved, he's a quiet man who keeps to himself mostly. Still we need to investigate every lead carefully. 'You should find him outside his home on the road that runs south past The Comb and Wattle Inn.' Background After discovering a letter on the brigand supervisor at Old Bauman's farm, you delivered it to Constable Sageford to discover the identity of "R.F." is Rurik Fennel a locksmith in Combe. Sageford wants you to confront Rurik about his possible involvement with the Blackwolds. Objective 1 Talk to Rurik Fennel in Combe Rurik Fennel, a local locksmith, lives on the road that runs south past The Comb and Wattle Inn in Combe. Constable Sageford wants you to confront Rurik Fennel of the coincidences surrounding the Blackwold brigands and his name and initials appearing on their crates and letters they carry. Constable Sageford: 'Make your way down the road that runs south past The Comb and Wattle Inn and confront Rurik about the letter and the strongbox you found.' Rurik Fennel: 'Yes, my name is Rurik. Yes, I'm a locksmith. What is this about? One of my strongboxes -- recovered from a brigand? -- and a letter? 'I see... 'I had hoped that I saw the last of the Brigands. You must understand, I did not willingly help them. My business is keeping things locked away, so I do not often ask question of my customers. 'I filled an order for twenty strongboxes and upon completion was visited by the Blackwolds. One, a tough fellow, took my master key and threatened my life if I talked. One of the others with him called him Applewood. 'Please, tell the Constable that any aid was unwilling, and I only stayed silent because I feared for my life.' Objective 2 Talk to Constable Sageford in Combe Constable Sageford awaits news of Rurik's involvement near the centre of Combe. Rurik Fennel appears to have been an unwitting and bullied pawn of the Blackwold. Rurik Fennel: 'Please tell Constable Sageford that I did not aid the brigands purposefully. I do not know who Applewood is, but he has the master key to the strongboxes.' Constable Sageford: 'While this doesn't help us get this box open and the valuables returned, it does speak well of Rurik. I feel badly that he felt as though we could not protect him, but with what happened to Archet, I understand his hesitation. 'Let me think a moment on the name he gave us. Scouts are coming and going at all times... one may have mentioned seeing this Applewood.'
