Side quest

Don't Kill the Messenger

Tantari Woods

Overview

In this world it's not always certain that a message will reach its recipient... as I found out once while travelling through a forest.

1

Follow the footprints using Focus Mode

I found a set of unusual footprints leading from a destroyed camp deeper into the forest. Am I curious enough to follow them?
2

Defeat the uriashi soldier

I've stumbled upon an uriashi soldier beating on what looks like a human body. If I want to find out what happened, I must defeat the uriash.
3

Investigate the area using Focus Mode

I've found a destroyed camp by the roadside. What happened here?
4

Interrogate the dead man using Compel Soul Witchcraft Ability

The man is dead... but it doesn't mean I can't get some information out of him.
5

Inspect the area around the body using Focus Mode

Who is the man the uriashi soldier was beating up? I should inspect the body.
6

Defeat the uriashi soldier

I don't know who the man on the ground is or why the uriash was beating him up – but I have to defend myself.
7

Follow the trail

While walking down a road, I noticed a few arrows stuck in the ground and some blood. Looks like someone had been shot at... but who?

I found the corpse of a man who was delivering a coded message to the manumits. Although he was killed by an uriash soldier, at least the missive didn't end up with the vrakhiri.
In the end, I never found out what really happened.

Wording is the quest journal's own. Every outcome the journal can record is listed — it is a branch map, not a recommendation.

Tantari Woods (2) — the journal does not attach documents to quests, so this is a place match, not a quest match.
