man.jpg
Commander Valarin; City guard.
hero.jpg
Apologies, Commander. I've come a long way to handle some family business in Hatmandor, but I was told to leave. I was hoping I might convince you to make an exception.
man.jpg
You say you're new in town? If I had to guess, I'd say you were a merc.
hero.jpg
Retired. Mostly.
man.jpg
Hmm. Maybe we can work something out. On a quieter day, I might've run you out of town. But most people looking for trouble don't bother coming to introduce themselves.
hero.jpg
The guards told me you're dealing with a murder?
man.jpg
Three of them. All within the last two weeks. I managed to link it to a local criminal ring, but haven't been able to make anything stick. Hatmandor's a big place, the people here know my guards too well. We have an informant, someone within their ranks. Had a meeting a few nights back except he never showed... Maybe the kid got scared, maybe worse. But I cannot afford to go looking for him without someone getting suspicious. I won't take that risk...
hero.jpg
Where should I start looking?
man.jpg
The boy's name is Jarrad. He lives on the east end of Chezdannar. I suggest you start there.
hero.jpg
And when I find him?
man.jpg
Schedule another meeting. Same place. If he's still alive, that is. Come back when you're finished and we'll talk.
hero.jpg
What do you know about the murders?
man.jpg
All three happened under unusual circumstances. One body was found in front of the victim's house. Fell from the second floor. Most would say he deserved it - went by the name 'Gnarl'. Used to brag about assaulting Imperial Verita transports. Not the brightest. The second, Ranvel was suspected of fencing illegal goods. Found him floating in an oil barrel when we raided his storehouse. Now, here's the kicker; Olg the Beard... found dead while hosting a party in his own home. Fifty guests. No witnesses...
hero.jpg
Anything else in common with all three of them?
man.jpg
Hm. Normally I'd say someone was doing me a favor. Had warrants for all of 'em. But murder is murder. It's only a matter of time before this turns into a much bigger problem for me. You understand?
hero.jpg
Got it. I should get started...by the way... one of the locals mentioned an abandoned tower somewhere near town. Know anything about it?
man.jpg
I thought you were here on 'family business'?
hero.jpg
I'm sorry, someone had told me it was used by the Emperor. I...
man.jpg
Listen. I think I've been pretty accommodating since you got here. I wanna keep it that way, so I'll say this once. Stay away from that tower.
hero.jpg
You act like it's cursed.
man.jpg
Could be... let's just say that most people aren't lucky enough to get a warning... but if it'll keep you alive long enough to help me out... and IF I decide to let you into my city... speak with Basel at the local inn. He's been telling the story so long, most assume he's just trying to scare off any tourists that won't tip.
hero.jpg
Okay. Thanks. I'm going now.
man.jpg
Good. Find me when you're done.

hero.jpg
Why would y-
man.jpg
I just have to ask... how'd you find me?
hero.jpg
Commander Valarin...he-
man.jpg
Bastard. I knew he was dirty but...
hero.jpg
Relax. Valarin just asked me to make sure you hadn't gotten yourself killed.
man.jpg
ME KILLED?! Me? Well, you can tell him I'm finished. That bastard has me asking questions to guys with more patches than eyes. Tell him, he can start kicking down doors if he wants to take down Mirage.
hero.jpg
Mirage?
man.jpg
Gods, he had to send a tourist. Mirage is the leader of one of Hatmandor's criminal underworld. We... they have their hands in everything.
hero.jpg
Meaning?
man.jpg
Meaning the only way I'll get myself killed is if someone find me talking with some crazy-looking bastard like you. Gods, you even smell like a guard...
hero.jpg
Sounds like the words of a coward to me.
man.jpg
Look. I may not look like an ideal citizen, but I didn't sign up for this because of my sense of adventure.
hero.jpg
Why then? Money?
man.jpg
My mother... she's sick. The Imperials run a mine not too far from here. Verita Crystals. The longer you're exposed to them.. it's deadly. The only way to treat it is with the crystals themselves. I don't understand how it works but the Imperials control it all.
hero.jpg
And Mirage controls the black market.
man.jpg
Which is why most people either look the other way, or ask for a favor.
hero.jpg
Valarin's helping me. Until then, I'm helping you. How do I get the medicine, without asking Mirage?
man.jpg
There's an imperial warehouse on the west side of Cheznaddar. They use it to treat the guards supervising the mines...
hero.jpg
You'll get the medicine.
man.jpg
Thanks, there's an entrance on the ground floor, but it's heavily guarded. There's another entrance, though... a trap door on the second floor. Best of luck.
hero.jpg
Anything else I should know about the storehouse?
man.jpg
I recommend going after dusk. Less witnesses. And remember, if you get caught? We never met.
hero.jpg
Of course. I've heard there are people working against the Emperor in Hatmandor. You seem pretty well connected...
man.jpg
And you seem to think you can just walk up to anyone on the street and ask things like that without getting killed. That said, I wouldn't mention to Valarin, he's been looking for the Captain for months.
hero.jpg
The Captain?
man.jpg
That's what they call him, the leader of the resistance. People say he's camped out somewhere in the mountains... and not alone. If you're that determined, talk to Basel. He runs a place called 'Under the Influence' in Hatmandor.
hero.jpg
Do you think he'd help me?
man.jpg
Maybe, if you can get him to stop scaring the tourists long enough with his damn stories. Even loyalty has its price in Hatmandor... you'll learn that soon enough.
hero.jpg
I'm sure I will. We'll talk soon.
man.jpg
Good luck.

Ending the Bullshit
01.jpg

man.jpg
It's more than enough.
hero.jpg
Then I expect the same.
man.jpg
Olg the Beard was a slave trader, but I know for a fact that he was on our payroll. So were the other victims.
hero.jpg
You don't think Mirage is behind it?
man.jpg
Not a chance. Mirage is cutthroat, but his whole operation is at stake. He's posted muscle all over the city, protecting his most trusted associates. Someone's trying to move in. But the only person I know who's crazy enough to try something like that is, well, you...
hero.jpg
Thanks.. take care of your mother.
man.jpg
I will. Oh, and when you see Valarain, tell him I'm through...

Time to inform Valarain, I rush over to Hatmandor's Gates, only to be stopped by a young man.

02.jpg

hero.jpg
Excuse me?
merc.jpg
Well, not you specifically, but someone just like you. Broad shouldered, steel eyed and armed to the teeth. I'm looking for a man willing to get things done, a man without fear! A man, who...
hero.jpg
Get to the point.
merc.jpg
Fortune and glory... Plain and simple. Are you the man I'm looking for?
hero.jpg
I'm listening...
merc.jpg
Everyday I hear people asking perfect strangers to solve the most unthinkable problems. But are they qualified? Almost never. People are tired of dealing with guild politics. And now with the Mages Guild in pieces and Brotherhood out of action, people are looking for results! I've started a new business. 'Heroes for Hire'!
hero.jpg
Mercenaries aren't exactly a new concept.
merc.jpg
How many mercenaries do you know? How many are still alive? My job is to find them. Men like you! I find the jobs and place them on this board. I do the legwork, you pick the job. When you finish one, you come see me for the reward.
hero.jpg
What's in it for you?
merc.jpg
A finder's fee... enough to cover my expenses. The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams! This is simply the beginning!
hero.jpg
I'll give it a try.
merc.jpg
Wonderful. You're free to begin immediately. As my first contractor, my only contractor. You're free to choose any job on the board. Just remember to return to me when you're finished.
03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg

hero.jpg
Olg the Beard was a slave trader working for Mirage. So were the other victims. Unless Mirage is dismantling his own operation...
guard.jpg
...Someone else is behind this. Then I'm back where I started. But I still need your help.
hero.jpg
What do you need?
guard.jpg
Head to 'Under the Influence' in Hatmandor. Talk to the proprietor, Basel. He's not exactly personable, but Mirage's associates spend as much time talking as they do drinking. Do whatever he asks, gain his trust. When you've got something, come and find me. I'll pay you for whatever you find... as long as it's useful.
hero.jpg
Who exactly is Mirage?
guard.jpg
One of the most notorious criminals in Hatmandor. No one's ever seen him, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous.
hero.jpg
Any more thoughts on the murder?
guard.jpg
You know as much as I do. Not enough information and even less time to point fingers...
hero.jpg
Tell me more about Basel.
guard.jpg
He runs most of the gambling establishments in the city. I'd gather he has his hands in a couple off-the-books operations as well but I've never been able to prove it. He's not stupid, but he's always looking for new blood. For all I know, he could be the next target.
hero.jpg
Then I'll get started.
guard.jpg
I'll be at my post. The watchtower in Hatmandor. Come to me with whatever you find.

He signals the guards to let me pass. The guards nodded a reply.

06.jpg

hero.jpg
That doesn't matter. What does, is that I know who you are... Basel.
boss.jpg
I can tell you're new around here, so listen and listen close. Bold men with careless mouths don't last very long here.
hero.jpg
I've heard they do if they're working with the right people...
boss.jpg
If this is how you go about finding work... We might be able to work something out. What's your price?
hero.jpg
Information.
boss.jpg
About?
hero.jpg
The Tower of Fangs, the Captain and whoever's been killing Mirage's men.
boss.jpg
That's quite a large tab... Are you ready to earn it?
hero.jpg
What's the job?
boss.jpg
A transaction. I want you to see it concluded without incident. But be careful, if the client sees you, he might call it off.
hero.jpg
Who's the client?
boss.jpg
An employee of Lawrence Lexington, a very influential man in New Ashos. But influence and trust are entirely different matters. Go downstairs and talk to Old Yerske. He's the man you'll be escorting.
07.jpg

08.jpg

09.jpg

man.jpg
Yeah?
hero.jpg
Basel's asked me to escort you to the meeting place.
man.jpg
He's that worried? Well, then you're just in time.
hero.jpg
I'd like to ask you a few questions before we leave.
man.jpg
Then you'll have to ask quickly...
hero.jpg
What can you tell me about Basel?
man.jpg
The boss? Um, he's a good man, mostly. He gives me work. I deliver something here, pick up another there. I was homeless before this, but I've got a roof over my head and I eat every week, I don't ask questions. I don't need to. If you're looking to get paid, neither should you...
hero.jpg
Can you tell me anything about the Captain?
man.jpg
Captain?
hero.jpg
The leader of the resistance.
man.jpg
Afraid I don't know much. Fighting Imperials, hiding out; it's a little too rich for my blood. Most folks talking like that around here are just looking to take home the barmaids...
hero.jpg
Got it. Ready to go?
man.jpg
Follow me, but keep your distance. Don't get spotted.

hero.jpg
He's home, resting. The client wasn't alone. They attacked us.
boss.jpg
Trust and influence...
hero.jpg
He won't need either.
boss.jpg
And the item?
hero.jpg
I have it with me.
boss.jpg
I can't say I wasn't concerned. Mirage has little patience for failure.
hero.jpg
You work for Mirage?
boss.jpg
As do you... And while it seems you're not as bright as I had you pegged, you've proven you can be trusted.
hero.jpg
I believe we had an arrangement?
boss.jpg
Hm. You did the job, but you were sloppy. It's going to take time for the dust to settle. You're going to make it up to me.
hero.jpg
Fine. What is it?
boss.jpg
I need you to retrieve something of mine from a nearby cache.
hero.jpg
I think I can handle it.
boss.jpg
Speak with Reesa, she'll give you the details.
hero.jpg
Reesa?
boss.jpg
A barmaid, musician. Very talented. You'll find her downstairs.

tranny.jpg
You can call me anything you like, gorgeous...
hero.jpg
I think you have the wrong idea about what it is I'm looking for.
tranny.jpg
And I think you have the wrong idea about what it is I do.
hero.jpg
Tranny, serve drinks, play music... am I close?
tranny.jpg
Maybe my reputation precedes me...
hero.jpg
Basel sent me. Something about a cache. He said you could give me the details.
tranny.jpg
You always this direct?
hero.jpg
Only when they pay me.
tranny.jpg
It's east of here, just outside the city. I'll mark it on your map. Try not to die.
hero.jpg
Anything else?
tranny.jpg
You don't want to know.
hero.jpg
Yes, I-
tranny.jpg
That's the password. Give it to the guard.

Hmph. Fine. Let's go. The money's good. Basel paid me 2,000 for the escort job. Looking forward to get more.

Who's the buyer?
tranny.jpg
A local priest. Apparently word travels fast. He wants the deal finished while the attention's only focused on Basel.
hero.jpg
One would imagine.
tranny.jpg
Find him at the temple in Hatmandor. Getting inside will take a bit of creativity. Laics aren't allowed on temple grounds.
hero.jpg
Laics?
tranny.jpg
In his words... 'Godless swine.'
hero.jpg
Right. Any ideas on how to get to him?
tranny.jpg
Try the eastern walls.

I'm sure.
man.jpg
Waiting in shadows, speaking in hushed tones... I wouldn't wish this life on anyone.
hero.jpg
It's never a choice, is it?
man.jpg
I'd imagine not. Remember, we never spoke.
hero.jpg
Of course.

No Compromise
01.jpg

hero.jpg
No.
boss.jpg
Good. I apologize for my tone earlier. It appears you've done everything I've asked. I believe it's now my turn to indulge you. You had some interesting questions...
hero.jpg
I'd like to know about the murders.
boss.jpg
There's quite a bit of pressure being placed on our organization. At first, it was the city guard, a concern that's never prevented us from operating in the past. But these murders, they're too clean, too quick. They've been targeting our Verita supply chain, the medicine. The only thing we know for certain is that the victims used to work for Turs Daram.
hero.jpg
Turs Daram?
boss.jpg
They may have worked for us, but it wasn't always that way. Daram was the old guard, before Mirage. He didn't go quietly.
hero.jpg
I'd imagine not.
boss.jpg
It was a different time then. Such transitions are never smooth. Those who were loyal were executed, including their families.
hero.jpg
Sounds like Mirage missed someone.
boss.jpg
Apparently. But it's only one of the many problems.
hero.jpg
The city guard.
boss.jpg
Yes, Valarin's gotten ambitious, sloppy even. It's become obvious that he's managed to gain information from someone within our organization. At first, all signs pointed to you. Strangers with too many questions are not usually alive long enough to prove themselves so useful. But we think we've finally found our problem.
hero.jpg
I take it this problem has a name?
boss.jpg
Jarrad.

Uh oh...

hero.jpg
You think he's working for Valarin?
boss.jpg
Sometimes it's easier to remove a question than to find an answer.
hero.jpg
I understand.
boss.jpg
Speak with Yerske. He'll tell you what you need to know.
hero.jpg
Consider it done.

A job interview
00.jpg

01.jpg

hero.jpg
I'm sorry?
02.jpg

hero.jpg
I know who you are.
tong.jpg
I've heard you've been asking about the Tower of Fangs. Quite carelessly, I might add. But if you'd like a more... definitive answer to such an ambiguous question, I'd advise you to follow me.
03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg

hero.jpg
Open the gate. Now.
tong.jpg
Not yet. I'm afraid I cannot ask you to perform the task at hand without you are competent enough to complete it.
hero.jpg
What the hell are you talking about?
tong.jpg
Mister Mirage offers you information about the whereabouts of one Captain, who, as you probably already know, is the only one to return from the Tower alive.
hero.jpg
And what does Mr. Mirage wants in return?
tong.jpg
Nothing, for the moment. He offers this information as a sign of good faith.
hero.jpg
Why the trap, then?
tong.jpg
It's nothing personal, I assure you. Mister Mirage is very... ritualistic when it pertains to hiring new people. Do you still wish to learn where to find the Captain?
hero.jpg
Yes.
tong.jpg
Then you'll find him with his party in seclusion south of here. Less than a mile, to be more... precise. He's built a camp within a small village there. I recommend inquiring about the... specifics with the rebels in the area. Now, back to business. Gentlemen, you may begin. Good luck.

Two thugs appear and assault me. I ready my bow.

07.jpg

08.jpg

10.jpg

hero.jpg
What kind of test was this?
tong.jpg
The kind you live to complain about, apparently. Which leaves me with the pleasure of announcing that Mister Mirage would like to make you another offer.
hero.jpg
What if I'm not interested?
tong.jpg
Mister Mirage isn't the type of person one should consider refusing...
hero.jpg
What's the offer?
tong.jpg
You've made several inquiries into a series of murders that recently took place.
hero.jpg
I have.
tong.jpg
Then it's safe to assume you know that eight years ago, Mister Mirage... inherited control of Hatmandor's underground.
hero.jpg
He cut his way to the top.
tong.jpg
In a manner of speaking. Before Mister Mirage received his inheritance, he was forced to remove Turs Daram, his predecessor. Several of his followers however, refused to cooperate.
hero.jpg
I heard. He had them all killed. Their families as well.
tong.jpg
Yes. After we... cleansed Daram's residence, Mister Mirage later discovered a stone left unturned. A boy, a son.
hero.jpg
A loose end.
tong.jpg
Someone was silenced in his stead, Daram's nephew. The resemblance was striking. So close in fact, that by the time we discovered our error, Daram's heir was nowhere to be found.
hero.jpg
And now you think that he's...
tong.jpg
Yes, this is Mister Mirage's assumption.
hero.jpg
And you want me to...
tong.jpg
Correct this error, naturally.
hero.jpg
And in return?
tong.jpg
Money, of course. It's worth noting that aside from the good faith he's shown thus far is extended to relevant financial matters as well. Furthermore, if you succeed, our interest in your services may prove to become much more... consistent.
11.jpg

hero.jpg
I'll do it.
tong.jpg
Good. You should begin with Zask... the only remaining Daram loyalist left by both our target and our employer.
hero.jpg
Why was he spared?
tong.jpg
Mister Mirage wisely assumed that if Daram's son returned to the city, he'd contact Zask. He's been monitored ever since, yet our assumption now seems... flawed.
hero.jpg
Then why bother?
tong.jpg
We're simply interested in knowing if we missed something, so it's part of your task to discover this before our situation escalates. This is espionage, not an interrogation. Convince him to trust you. He owns a small work shop in Cheznaddar I pray that Basel hasn't... over-estimated your skills regarding this matter. Best of luck.
hero.jpg
Tell me more about the boy, Daram's heir.
tong.jpg
He had dark hair. His name was Daniel. Though time has a way of rendering such trivial information even less relevant.
hero.jpg
What about Zask?
tong.jpg
His appearance betrays his age in a least... ideal fashion. While he's quite old, he appears ancient. He crafts armor and weapons from his workshop in Cheznaddar. While we ironically make the occasional purchase from him, he's been reduced to filling large orders for the Empire. Not exactly ideal work for one who considers themselves an artisan.
hero.jpg
Alright. It seems I have work to do.
tong.jpg
It seems you do indeed...

hero.jpg
Keys?
guard.jpg
Yeah, keys to the gates. We cut off several parts of the desert, because of the varn infestation. They've taken control of some of our outposts. Now, anyone crazy enough to wander the desert needs these keys. Not to mention a big stick. Here.
hero.jpg
Thanks.

cap.jpg
That's news to me, but that might help me narrow down any potential targets. I have some work to do. Here, you've earned it.

He handed me a thousand auras and reminded me that the reward is still up on any info about Mister Mirage. I'll keep that in mind once I discover Mister Mirage's identity.

05.jpg

hero.jpg
I was just admiring your merchandise. Is this all your work?
smith.jpg
It is! Interested in anything in particular?
hero.jpg
Actually, I'm job hunting at the moment.
smith.jpg
Well, I'm not sure I can help you there. I usually only work with close friends, family. I'm sure you understand.
hero.jpg
But do you need someone?
smith.jpg
I...
hero.jpg
Please, I'm new in town. I work hard, but if I hear the same thing from everyone else in town...
smith.jpg
Well, actually there is something. I've got a special order coming up, but I ran out of dragon scales.
hero.jpg
I thought they were extinct.
smith.jpg
For the most part, they are. Hell, I haven't seen one in over a decade. But back when they commanded land and sky, several factions of dragon slayers were formed. Of course now they're gone, but I recently came across one of their old hideouts. I wasn't able to search it. It was infested by something nasty and, well... I'm not as fit as I used to be. Go there and see if you can find any dragon scales.
hero.jpg
Alright. How many scales do you need?
smith.jpg
Five should suffice for the time being. Here take this key.

Yeah, you look to be real involved with something here.

This is not a trivial matter so I expect a good explanation for your intrusion upon my work.
hero.jpg
That's actually why I'm here...
man.jpg
You came to inquire about a half-delivered corpse?
hero.jpg
Actually, I'm here to deliver the other half.
man.jpg
You...but where did you get it?
hero.jpg
Lewsam tracked it down.
man.jpg
Such professionalism are so rare these days, I can't thank you enough.
hero.jpg
Apparently not.
man.jpg
I see, perhaps in return you can agree to admit this decent reward. Now, forgive me, but I have to concentrate on examining the body. My analysis must be ready by midnight so I have to gently advise you to leave my cellar.
06.jpg

07.jpg

hero.jpg
It was... an experience.
digger.jpg
I agree, but I'd much rather be burying Imperials than my friends. I received word that you made good on your promise. Here, take these auras. I hope it helps. I imagine you're eager to leave this godforsaken place.

Good doing business with you. Suppose I could always set up shop and learn a new trade.
digger.jpg
Here, read this. The Gravedigger's Manual... the perfect guide! I learned everything I know from these pages. Oh, but you have to promise me you'll bring it back. It's got a lot of sentimental value.
hero.jpg
Will do.
digger.jpg
Hope it brings you as much joy as it has me.

A thousand five hundred auras. Not bad for a delivery. Now let's see that book...

You again
01.jpg

hero.jpg
Here you go. Just as we agreed.
smith.jpg
You did great! The scales are quite large, so I may be able to make something extra for you. But first, I've got another job for you. I'm running a bit behind on an order job for the city guard. They were supposed to receive these swords yesterday, but I just finished them now. Mind running them over? Well, not run... the payment should be 300 auras for each, but tell them I'll drop the price to say 1,300 for all five.
hero.jpg
Consider it done.
02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

hero.jpg
Of course.
smith.jpg
Good work. Bastards get a bit touchy when they can't play with something shiny. Here's the payment I promised. That's not all, I was able to make you a nice pair of boots from the left over dragon scales. Just try them on. I guarantee you won't want to take them off. I'll be honest, I wasn't convinced you'd return with the money. But since it seems I can trust you to keep me both out of jail and out of poverty... I need a favor.
hero.jpg
I owe you quite a bit of gratitude. Name it.
smith.jpg
Someone I care for is planning to do something very dangerous. I've tried to help, but she insists on doing it alone.
hero.jpg
What are you asking exactly?
smith.jpg
Convince her to reconsider. And if that's not an option... please, try to keep her safe. Can I count on you?
hero.jpg
I'll do what I can.
smith.jpg
Thank you. You'll find her in the northeast part of Cheznaddar. She lives in a small rooftop addition there.
hero.jpg
I'll find it.
04a.jpg


A girl, huh? Maybe it's his daughter...

05.jpg

hero.jpg
Reesa?
tranny.jpg
This is unexpected. Maybe not the best timing, but definitely not... unwelcomed. How did you find me?
hero.jpg
Actually, I was expecting someone else.
tranny.jpg
I'm sorry?
hero.jpg
Zask sent me here to talk with someone.
tranny.jpg
What did he tell you?
hero.jpg
That you were attempting to do something stupid.
tranny.jpg
And he asked you to stop me.
hero.jpg
Well...
tranny.jpg
It's not going to happen.
hero.jpg
Actually, he asked me to help you. Let me try.
tranny.jpg
I have to do this alone.
hero.jpg
No, you want to do this alone. I won't stand in your way, but my offer still stands.
tranny.jpg
Let's see what you say when we get there.
hero.jpg
And Zask said you were unreasonable.
06.jpg

hero.jpg
Maybe I can help. How much do you owe them?
tranny.jpg
They're not interested in auras. Not now at least, they want Malial's Tear.
hero.jpg
They want what?
tranny.jpg
Malial's Tear. It's a gem locked deep beneath Hatmandor's Temple. Money is meaningless to these people. The priests are obsessed with their religious artifacts. They won't sell it.
hero.jpg
Then how do we get to it?
tranny.jpg
There's a man who can help us. A thief named Mazon. He's broken into the temple several times over the years.
hero.jpg
What makes you think he'd help us?
tranny.jpg
If someone helped you escape from prison, I'm sure you'd be inclined to repay the favor.
07.jpg

hero.jpg
What's the plan?
tranny.jpg
Mazon's being kept in Hatmandor until he can be transferred, so we'll have to be quick.
hero.jpg
So what, we just kill the guards, grab Mazon and disappear?
tranny.jpg
Leave the guards to me. You're pretty light on your feet, frmo what I've seen so far. I need you to enter the guard house and find Mazon. Think you can manage?
hero.jpg
Do I have a choice?
tranny.jpg
Not anymore. I have a few loose ends to tie up first. I'll meet you at the south entrance of the guard house.
hero.jpg
Take your time.
tranny.jpg
Be a good sport and maybe I'll make it worth your while.
08.jpg

hero.jpg
A little beauty rest is never a bad thing.
tranny.jpg
Better for some than others, handsome. I'll distract the guards. You focus on getting Mazon out of his cell. You'll find a sewer entrance to your right, on the other side of the street. That's your exit. But move quickly. I can charm the pants off most anyone, but there's always a few faithful husbands in the crowd. We'll meet back at my place. Here's a map, in case you get lost. Ready?
hero.jpg
I think so.
tranny.jpg
Good enough for me. Now go, use the stairway in the watchtower for cover. I'll see you back at my place.

A very ridiculous plan
01.jpg

hero.jpg
Can we trust him?
tranny.jpg
We don't have to. But I trust Yerske. Mazon's in it for the thrill, not the money.
hero.jpg
After spending some time with him? I believe it.
tranny.jpg
I need some time to work out our next move. I'll see you in a bit?
hero.jpg
I don't have to leave...
tranny.jpg
But I think you should. At least for the time being. Go and tell Zask I'm alright. I'm sure he's worried.
02.jpg

03.jpg

hero.jpg
She's alright.
smith.jpg
Thank gods. So what did you say to that stubborn child to dissuade her from breaking into the city prison?
hero.jpg
Nothing. We did it together.
:troll:
smith.jpg
That's what I was afraid of. At least you kept her safe. And for that, I thank you. I ended up making a lot more than I thought on that dragon scale job you helped me with. Here, take this, you earned it.

He handed me five thousand auras. Part of me thinks he's bluffing about the dragon scales profits, but money is money.

04.jpg

04a.jpg

tranny.jpg
We're not...
hero.jpg
I don't plan to. I'll see you, Mazon. Appreciate the help.
tranny.jpg
What's with the look?
hero.jpg
You still think this will work?
tranny.jpg
No more than I did earlier.
hero.jpg
I'll leave it alone, then.
tranny.jpg
This protective side of yours. It's... adorable.
hero.jpg
I've been called worse.
tranny.jpg
I bet you have.

Son of Turisas
01.jpg

02.jpg

hero.jpg
What, that I'd been killed, tortured...tickled?
tranny.jpg
It's beautiful.
hero.jpg
You won't hear an argument from me.
tranny.jpg
I...
hero.jpg
Something the matter?
tranny.jpg
I'm sorry. After everything you've done for me, you deserve the truth.

Uh oh, she's a tranny. She must be Turisas Daram's missing son. She cut her dick off and now disguised herself as a woman!

hero.jpg
What do you mean?
tranny.jpg
I don't owe money to anyone. The Tear is for something else.

Well, this is an outrage. But not worth abandoning the questline over.

03.jpg

hero.jpg
I don't understand.
tranny.jpg
To draw someone out of hiding. Someone who's been eyeing it for some time. And now that I have it...
hero.jpg
You're going to kill him.
tranny.jpg
Just as he did my family.

Oh. So it's true. You're a tranny.

hero.jpg
The other murders. Mirage's men...
tranny.jpg
The men who handed over my family's legacy.
hero.jpg
Your family? You're...
tranny.jpg
Roguey Daram, daughter of Turisas Daram.
hero.jpg
But Turisas had a son...
tranny.jpg
The firstborn is usually the successor to the family business, so when I was born, it was less than agreeable. His brother, my uncle, offered his son to be raised as my father's own. To claim the family's birthright when he passed on. When they were killed...
hero.jpg
Your uncle, Zask. Did he tell you the truth?
tranny.jpg
Few men take the loss of a nephew so hard. My aunt, she could barely look at me. Mirage robbed me of two families. I'm going to take what's mine or dismantle it piece by piece.

Not a bad twist. It's the kind that one would expect from a Witcher game. Where things are not so clear-cut and obvious.

hero.jpg
I'm not going to tell you that vengeance isn't the answer.
tranny.jpg
I wouldn't listen if you tried.
hero.jpg
But how are you going to get to him? No one's seen his face.
tranny.jpg
Except for one person...
hero.jpg
Tongue. I can't let you do this alone.
tranny.jpg
I asked Yerske to inform Tongue that you've stolen the Tear as a thank you gift.
hero.jpg
Without my permission?
tranny.jpg
They planned to kill you. I needed to buy you. To buy us some time.
hero.jpg
How long do we have?
tranny.jpg
Not long. Tongue found me and said that when we're ready to make the transaction, we ought to inform him. He'll bring Mirage to the meeting point.
hero.jpg
Which is where?
tranny.jpg
The sewers. I'll meet you there, but first you have to inform Tongue that we're ready.
hero.jpg
Alright. Reesa, Valarin. He hired me to find you.
tranny.jpg
I know.

Hmm. To pull out now would be really stupid. I'll deal with Mirage and then inform Valarin afterward.

hero.jpg
But I'm sure he'll be happier to learn Mirage's true identity than to find the vigilante who killed him.
tranny.jpg
Thank you. I'll see you in the sewers. Good luck.

Quite a promotion, I must say.
hero.jpg
I'm an ambitious man.
tong.jpg
I'd hold your ambition at bay if I were you. Remember where your loyalty lies. You took an assignment to uncover the identity of our assassin.
hero.jpg
I remember. Anyway, I'm here to inform you that I've got the stone and that we're ready for the transaction.
tong.jpg
Very well. I'll see you at the meeting place, then.
