3. 3Check in with Oto Mustam

   [-25,33] · Oto Mustam

   The Edfrit horn is said to have been recovered by the Bontarians. Oto now asks you to find a Sram who owes him money, and eliminate her. She should be in a gaming room.

4. 4Pay Rekojeht for information

   Items[-29,36] · Rekojeht

   Ask Rekojeht where to find a gaming room. For 1,500 kamas, he points you to the Burnt Cat Inn.

6. 6Play with Baal O'Char

   [-28,38] · Baal O'Char

   Go in through the little door behind the counter and talk to Baal O'Char. Bet a sum: one chance in two of doubling your stake, otherwise you lose it. Win or lose, Baal reveals the hideout of Petra, the Sram you're looking for.

7. 7Settle the score with Petra

   [-23,34] · Petra

   Go into the house and go upstairs. Petra finally has the money she owes Oto, interest included. Three answers complete the step: “Accept the torrid night and eliminate her” gives Petra's Heart; “Accept the Kamas, the torrid night and eliminate her” teleports you to a bedroom with Petra's skeleton; “Accept the Kamas, the torrid night and let her live” requires nothing more. You then get Petra's Cheque.

   Avoid “Accept the torrid night and let her live”: you would have to bring Oto Mustam 50 Bronze, 50 Malt and 50 Sage. The effect of the other answers isn't known.

8. 8Go back to Oto Mustam

   Dialogue[-25,33] · Oto Mustam

   Tell Oto what happened. Petra was his accomplice: it was a test, and he now forbids you from approaching her. Jealous of the renown of the Kanig chief, he asks you to put her back in her place.

   

9. 9Defeat Kanigrula

   Combat[-5,-54]

   Go to the Stontusk Desert and defeat Kanigrula in her dungeon, Kanigrula's Cave.

   The PDA doesn't work: you have to defeat Kanigrula in her dungeon.

10. 10Go back to see Oto Mustam

    Dialogue[-25,33] · Oto Mustam

    Once the wildling is defeated, go back to the militia: Oto Mustam congratulates you. The quest ends.
