Down the Drain

What to prepare

Nothing to gather: the quest is an investigation in Astrub, with a single fight, to be done solo.

The 14 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Adviser Arky

   Dialogue[4,-19] · Adviser Arky

   If you're looking for a quiet spot, Adviser Arky suggests visiting the Astrub pond.

   Dialogue

   1. “Follow his advice”

   

2. 2Stroll around the Astrub pond

   Movement[2,-20] · Dom Silleck

   At the edge of the lake, Dom Silleck claims that the lake belongs to him and refuses to leave.

   Dialogue

   1. “Talk to the mercenaries”

   

3. 3Talk to the Annoyed Mercenary

   Dialogue[2,-20] · Annoyed Mercenary

   On the same map, the Annoyed Mercenary explains that three individuals are claiming the lake and driving people off their “property”.

4. 4Talk to Dom Silleck again

   Dialogue[2,-20] · Dom Silleck

   Dom Silleck remains unyielding: he shows you a notary document proving that the lake and its surroundings belong to him.

5. 5Report the matter to Arky

   Items[4,-19] · Adviser Arky

   Arky doesn't know this notary, and the lake has always been public domain. She wants to see the documents: bring those individuals to her.

   

6. 6Convince Dom Silleck

   Dialogue[2,-20] · Dom Silleck

   Suggest to Dom Silleck that he go see Arky: he agrees, convinced that he paid exorbitant inheritance fees for this place. Now you just have to find this famous notary.

   

7. 7Ask around at the tavern

   Movement[6,-18] · Tek Abir

   At the tavern, ask Tek Abir if he has seen the notary. The person described is not a notary but the Duc of Sidimote; he has left, but his servant is still there.

   Dialogue

   1. “Describe Maître Larry Heux without naming him and ask whether he's still hanging around”

   

8. 8Defeat the rascals

   Combat[4,-17] · Cra Rascal

   Go see Kamy Demouler in [4,-17] : some individuals are pestering him. Talk to the Cra Rascal to step in. A fight starts against two Iops and a Cra, to be done solo.

   Dialogue

   1. “Step in”

9. 9Talk to Kamy Demouler

   Dialogue[4,-17] · Kamy Demouler

   Kamy Demouler left Amakna, where his articles against King Allister put him in danger, to enter the Duc's service. His master dealt with an important matter with the bankers.

10. 10Question Scott Effihope at the bank

    Dialogue[4,-18] · Scott Effihope

    At the bank, Scott Effihope is fuming: the Duc swindled him by making him invest in the Sidimote mines. No wonder, since the real Duc of Sidimote died long ago.

    Dialogue

    1. “Ask questions about the Duc of Sidimote”

    

11. 11Talk to Ron Farst

    Dialogue[4,-18] · Ron Farst

    Ron Farst has just appeared: he tells the banker that the librarian got swindled by an old antique dealer.

12. 12Meet Aisling

    Dialogue[7,-19] · Aisling

    Aisling bought books about an ancient civilization, delivered in such a pitiful state that they were falling to pieces.

    Dialogue

    1. “Discuss the swindle she claims to be a victim of”

    

13. 13Talk to Don Laff

    Dialogue[7,-19] · Don Laff

    Don Laff, who has appeared on the map, is looking for the Golden Rocks ambassador Kiefer Rayro on behalf of the steward of the kingdom of Amakna: yet another identity of the man you are tracking.

14. 14Talk to Dee Aitchell

    Dialogue[7,-19] · Dee Aitchell

    Dee Aitchell, who delivered the books, tells you she received the goods at the zaap. The quest ends: keep chatting to get the next one.
