— In-game description
Rewards
- 5
Antidote
Steps
- Speak with Captain Baldewyn.
- Defeat Captain Baldewyn and Baron von Quiveron IV!
Journal
- Fufulupa has accidently overheard Merilda's tale regarding the bandits and their plans to obtain Nashachite stolen from Copperbell Mines. Before you can stop him, the Brass Blade runs to tell his supervising officer -- who, unbeknownst to Fufulupa, is cooperating with the bandits. Find Captain Baldewyn before Fufulupa does!
- You arrive too late to prevent Fufulupa from confronting his captain, and are forced to battle the corrupt officer and his bandit ally. Baldewyn remains defiant even after you defeat him, until the disgraced Captain Leofric reveals that Baldewyn was in fact operating without Lord Lolorito's knowledge and will therefore face severe punishment for his crimes. Return to Horizon and speak with Fufulupa when next you have an opportunity.
Dialogue
Merilda: You are an adventure, are you not? I know this is sudden, but I have no one else to turn to.
Merilda: Last night, a gang of bandits from the Quiveron Manse were in their cups, and I overheard them discussing their plans...
Merilda: It seems they've come to collect gemstones stolen from Copperbell Mines. Nashachite, I think I heard one say. They are to meet with their co-conspirator soon, at the Footfalls─
Fufulupa: << Wh-Wh-What did you say!? >>
Fufulupa: Illicit exchanges and shadowy dealings! The Brass Blades cannot abide such malfeasance!
Fufulupa: Forgive my eavesdropping, [Forename]─I came to Crescent Cove merely to thank you in person.
Fufulupa: I never imagined I'd uncover a criminal conspiracy right outside Horizon's gates!
Fufulupa: We must act quickly if we are to apprehend these thieves! I will notify Captain Baldewyn at once!
Merilda: No, wait! You mustn't! Oh, gods...
Merilda: You must stop him before it's too late! Captain Baldewyn himself is working with the bandits!
