Quest at a Glance

Journal objectives: 11
Time-sensitive steps: 3
Possible outcomes: 2

Step 1: Something is happening in Maragir, I should go and check it out.
Step 2: Ambrus has displayed someone's corpse in the middle of Maragir. I must see what's going on.
Step 3: I've received an invitation from Ambrus's vassal, Iulian Codrin. He wants to talk about something important before I accept Ambrus's challenge.
Step 4: Ambrus challenged me to a duel – we shall meet by the old bell on a hill near Maragir.
Step 5: Ambrus will arrive once I ring the old bell – at night, of course.
Step 6: Iulian Codrin presented a plan that will help me win the duel with Ambrus. It might be worth carrying out.
Step 7: I told Codrin I wasn't interested in his plan, but should I change my mind, he'll be there.
Step 8: Iulian's blood is poisoned – I don't have much time now. I need to fight Ambrus before he realises what we've done.
Step 9: It's time to end this – I need to win the duel with the boyar.
Step 10: It's time to make the decision about what becomes of Ambrus now.
Step 11: I have an eerie feeling Ambrus is up to something… And knowing him, it’s nothing good.
