Smoke and Ashes

What happened? I'm alive – but how? Did Brencis turn me or not? And where's my family? I need to find them, and soon.

Objectives

  1. 1

    Go to Laslea with Anca

    I need to find out what happened to my family, where to look for them.

  2. 2

    Cast Compel Soul on the dead soldier

    Anca taught me something – I now know a spell that can make the dead talk. I find it hard to believe... But let's try.

  3. 3

    Find items of importance to the dead soldier

    The dead soldier spoke – but briefly, haltingly. Anca says I need to find objects the deceased man either owned or was looking at as he passed.

  4. 4

    Search your family home

    Laslea is sacked, but my house is still standing. Maybe there's someone there – hiding?

  5. 5

    Remove the rubble blocking the gate

    My family has been captured – and time is running out. I need to act. First obstacle – the rubble blocking my way out of Laslea's ruins.

  6. 6

    Return to Anca

    No sign of my family. What I am supposed to do now? I'd better consult with Anca.

  7. 7

    Search your family home

    Laslea is sacked, but my house is still standing. Maybe there's someone there – hiding?

  8. 8

    Go to the village gate

    I won't find anything more in Laslea – I need to get out of here.

  9. 9

    Cast Compel Soul on the dead soldier and use the catalysts

    Anca said that those items of importance might make the corpse talk a bit more. Time to see for myself if that's true.

The journal's own order. It is the order the game hands them to you, which is not always the order you can do them in.

How it can end · 1

The journal records 1 way this quest can finish. Each one is written after the fact, so each one gives away what you did.

What you get

XP in 7 awards: 1000, 150, 150, 150, 150, 75, 150. 1 Skill Point.

The game pays these out separately. Some quests award them one after another, and some award one instead of another, so they are shown as the game stores them rather than added together.

What you read along the way

The game files these under this quest's own code. Where that code covers several journal entries, a document listed here may belong to one of the others in the thread below.
