Walkthrough[]

Moonwolf tells you that a merchant has been neglecting to pay for some help he received over a year ago, and that you're supposed to prove your loyalty by robbing one of his wagons for comeuppance.

  • Use Divination (20+): You get 4 XP and sense that Moonwolf expects that you'll have to kill the occupants and isn't being entirely truthful.
  • Refuse the task: Moonwolf becomes angry but is seemingly pacified by your excuses. He tells you that he expects better of his followers, you comply with his orders to leave and the adventure ends. You get no rewards for choosing this option.
  • Accept the task: Moonwolf tells you that he wants no witnesses to what will transpire and sends two assistants along with you, Kimson and Eripp. The three of you then ambush the wagon.
    • Notch an arrow and take aim at the wagon driver: You'll have to pass a +16 (Extremely Difficult) Archery Skill check You kill the driver and get 16 Archery XP if you succeed. Failure leaves you with no option other than moving down and stepping into the road in front of the wagon.
    • Move down and step into the road in front of the wagon: The driver halts it and flees for his life.
  • The robbery is now underway. Eripp runs to the rear of the wagon, while Kimson intends to kill the man who's taken the reigns.
    • Move to the rear of the wagon with Eripp: You fight Wagon Guard (9+ at MR ??-79 Approx, 44 SP, 1 XP), can't FLEE, can be damaged by nonmagical or unarmed attacks
    • Eripp and Kimson have successfully killed their foes, so the three of you secure the valuables and leave.
  • Defend the fallen man from Kimson
    • Kimson orders you to help Eripp and tries to shove you away.
      • Move to the rear of the wagon with Eripp: Same as if you'd chosen this option originally.
      • Attack Kimson: You fight Kimson (9+ at MR ??-79 Approx, 45 SP, 1 XP), can't FLEE, can be damaged by nonmagical or unarmed attacks
      • Then the guy you saved warns you of an impending attack: Eripp (9+ at MR ??-79 Approx, 50 SP, 1 XP), can't FLEE, can be damaged by nonmagical or unarmed attacks
      • Two guards approach, you have no time to reason with them and have to defend yourself: 2 Guards (9+ at MR ??-79 Approx, 52 SP, 1 XP), can't FLEE, can be damaged by nonmagical or unarmed attacks Killing them will lower your alignment, but you can subdue them and allow them to flee.
      • You investigate the wagons and find a pouch full of gold. You take it for yourself, then secure the rest of the valuables and leave. You tell Moonwolf that his men were killed by the guards, he's quite distressed over their loss.
  • Moonwolf compliments you on your success and is thankful to have you on board. He pays you 100 gold and tells you that your services will be needed in the future. The adventure ends and you receive 64 XP to general.
