Mysterious Gem

Main story quest

The Thieves' Guild has sent the party to Wisp to steal a gem from Master Harold and take it to Nina in Willowbrook. Nobody has said why.

Find the Gem

Master Harold’s house is just south of where the game starts. Break in and search it. The gem is hidden in a closet.

Escape

By the time you have the gem, the city guard has the house surrounded. Escape down the sewer grate in the street outside.

Through the Sewers

The grate drops you into the north end of the Sewers Below Wisp. The ladder beside you only leads back up into Wisp. The way on is the main drain pipe near the middle of the sewer, as the Rat-Catcher who works down here will tell you. It comes out in the countryside south-east of Wisp.

Optional: Crazy Ivan's Treasure

Three switches (S) sit in far corners of the sewer. Set all three: a grinding noise followed by silence means a switch is set, and rushing water means it is not. Then press the button (B) on the east side. The wall beside it slides away to reveal Crazy Ivan’s treasure (1), the Unusual Sceptre.

Optional: The Cemented Rocks

An old, rusted hammer (H) lies in the middle of the sewer. Take it to the pile of cemented rocks (2) near where you came in, and break it open for 500 gold.

Choose a Lord

The drain pipe comes out between two keeps, Galgarant’s to the east and Regskada’s to the south, and the two lords want each other dead. Either will open the road to Willowbrook if you kill the other, but you can only help one; whichever lord you agree to help first, the other turns you away. Continue with Help Galgarant or Help Regskada.

The party's journal

We found the crystal, but the guards surrounded the house. We had to escape into the sewer. This will delay our travel to Willowbrook.
