Imelda's Revenge

Quest: Imelda's Revenge Location: Polter?s Fort: Underground, Questgiver: Acquiring Imelda's Note Alignment score values: max 5 for this quest, +1 for dealing with the gnome.

Polter?s Fort: Underground In a desk in the blind gnome's chambers in the depths of Polter?s Fort, the PC will discover a document promising payment to the WL for raids on Valetto's farms. The document comes from merchant Imelda, Hawklin?s business partner. Female PC's who find the document before speaking to the gnome, may pretend to be Imelda, or any PC may pretend to be sent by her. If successful in their bluffing, they may be able to gain a gift from the gnome on behalf of the WL, though they need to be lucky enough to guess the right kind of item. The gnome is useful in other ways too. He can be taunted/intimidated/persuaded into revealing information about secret doors, and can also identify items for free.

Thunderstone: Interior Either before or after speaking to Hawklin, the PC can choose to show the document to Thiodor Hurim in the Crown Office. Thiodor will suggest the PC investigates it and/or shows it to Hawklin. The PC can: refuse and let Thiodor investigate it, or keep the document themselves. They can also suggest that Hawklin is involved, trying to implicate him (but Kathryn will leave the party if you do this).

Hawklin Castle: Interior If the PC gives the note to Hawklin, he will ask the PC to catch Imelda at the next tournament and bring her to justice. The PC may agree or reject the quest at this point.

Thunderstone: Tournament Ground Once the PC has returned from Castle Wyvernwater, he can re-enter the tournament areas and find Imelda. With or without the document, and possibly additional information from the captive gnome within Polter's Fort, the PC may choose to: - Blackmail Imelda in exchange for the document. - Blackmail Imelda in order to remain silent (if the PC does not have the document), gaining a reputation 'Black'. Blackmailing can be done for various amounts, depending on persuade skill. - Persuade/Intimidate/Drag Imelda to the Crown Office, where she is arrested by Thiodor Hurim. The PC gains the reputation 'Just'. - Strike a deal with Imelda to discredit Hawklin.
