Quest at a Glance

Journal objectives: 13
Time-sensitive steps: 0
Possible outcomes: 3

Step 1: I found out what happened to the missing scouts, but Crake won't be too happy about it.
Step 2: The missing manumit scouts are all dead, killed by some sort of a terrifying monster. And apparently Brencis is building an army of these creatures. Crake must hear about this at once.
Step 3: Crake wants to know what monster – possibly Brencis's creation – slaughtered his men. He needs my help to find out the truth... and stay alive.
Step 4: Crake and Sara will meet me at night in front of St. Teotim's Church in Middens. We must find out why the dying scout pointed me there of all places.
Step 5: No signs of the guards. We can move forward to investigate the church.
Step 6: Something is blocking the church gate. I can go over the top, but Crake and Sara need to enter in a more traditional way.
Step 7: You need to search the churchyard for clues. There must be something here that will help us figure out this whole mess.
Step 8: Boyan's ramblings were no fever dream – the creature is real, a bloody winged monstrosity. Perhaps its remains will provide some clue as to how it came into existence.
Step 9: Everything’s gone to hell. Sara is dead, and soldiers ambushed me and Crake out of nowhere. We have to run!
Step 10: We’ve hit a locked gate. I need to open it for Crake.
Step 11: I discovered an inscription clutched in the monster’s jaws. It’s written in a language I don’t recognise, but maybe Crake will know what it means.
Step 12: That black trail leads to the belltower doors. I wonder what hides behind them...
Step 13: While investigating a lead in St. Teotim's church, we were attacked by a winged monster. We must kill this abomination.
