The quest begins when you speak to Commander Clyver,
who's at #11 in Crucible
Keep. He expresses a frustration with not having
enough manpower to effectively patrol Defiance Bay.
Making a Benevolent reply will result in a small
positive increase in reputation with the Knights of the
Crucible. Making Cruel or Clever responses will result
in minor losses of reputation with the Knights of the
Crucible. Making Rational or Stoic replies will not have
any effect beyond your own disposition.
The solution he's after is to gain access to the
research of Vianna so that he can construct Forge
Knights, animated suits of armor created by Animancy, to
help make up the shortfall.
Coren will be at #4 on the Scriveners'
Dormitory map. He'll indicate that Vannia was
planning to meet somebody named Clessia in Ondra's Gift.
A drawer at #5 will have Vianna's
Diary, which will hint that Vianna's meeting with
Clessia was to take place in an abandoned house in
Ondra's Gift.
The door to the Abandoned House is at #6 on the Ondra's
Gift map.
Vannia will be in a
room just a little ahead and to the left. She is
unfortunately surrounded by several members of the
Dozens led by Dodwyna. It won't matter what you say,
fighting the Dozens will be inevitable. Diplomatic and
Passionate replies are possible during the brief
conversation.
A workable strategy is to send a lone character to open
the door and conduct the conversation and regroup, so
that the enemies will be forced to come out the door. It
may be better that way, since area effect spells can
damage Vannia and can make her go hostile. The loot
includes:
The research can be taken back to Commander Clyver. He
in turn will suggest you take it to Dunstan, who's at
#15 in Crucible
Keep. He won't be very enthusiastic about it, but
he will begin the working of crafting Forge Knights for
the Knights of the Crucible.
Completing this quest means that Commander Clyver is
willing to give you the Winds
of Steel quest.
Dunstan at #16 will now also give you access to his
shop. He sells a lot of armor and weapons of Fine or
Exceptional Quality. He also has these unique items for
sale:
