Journal text

On success
The Bladebrands behind the beacons damages have been brought to justice.

Phases

  1. Phase 1: Find out who damaged the beacon

    Objectives

    1. Objective 1: Ask folks around Akaga about the night in question.
    2. Objective 2: Find out where the broken bit of steel came from.

      Hidden objective

      Journal: I found a sharp bit of steel in the lantern room of the beacon. I can't know for sure until I look further into it, but I have a feeling this is directly tied to who damaged the beacon.

      Success: It appears the piece of steel came off the weapon of a local Bladebrand named 'Ishi.'

    3. Objective 3: Find evidence that ties Rak and Ishi to the crime

      Hidden objective

      Journal: I now know who damaged the beacon. I just need the proper evidence to prove it.

    4. Objective 4: Retrieve Rosanjin's katana

      Hidden objective

      Journal: A Bladebrand named Rosanjin says if I can track down his stolen katana, he'll give me crucial information on who damaged their weapon in the beacon's lantern room.

    5. Objective 5: Return to Rosanjin with his father's katana

      Hidden objective

      Journal: I found the katana that bandits stole form Rosanjin. I should make my way back to him and let him know.

    6. Objective 6: Retrieve the incident report on the weapon the broken bit of steel belongs to

      Hidden objective

    7. Objective 7: Turn in the Bladebrands Ishi and Rak

      Hidden objective

      Journal: I believe I have the evidence I need to prove the Bladebrands Ishi and Rak are responsible this crime.

    8. Objective 8: Show Captain Kenza of the Bladebrands your evidence

      Hidden objective

      Journal: Perhaps the captain would listen to the evidence I've found.

    9. Objective 9: Show Eman the local Enforcer your evidence

      Hidden objective

      Journal: I know the local Enforcer would lock these Bladebrands up in a Sazziad prison if they saw the evidece I have.

    10. Objective 10: Search for more evidence

      Hidden objective

      Journal: I am caught thinking that maybe I'm planning on turning them into the wrong authority. If I dug a little deeper, I bet someone else may listen.

    11. Objective 11: Find out who damaged the beacon

      Success: All of the evidence points towards two local Bladebrands named Ishi and Rak.

    12. Objective 12: Confront Ishi

      Hidden objective

    13. Objective 13: Talk to Kenza

      Hidden objective

      Journal: I'm sure that word of what happened between Ishi and me has reached the captain of the Bladebrands. I will speak with them and show them the evidence I've found to exonerate myself from any wrongdoing.
