I'm surprised your men decided to follow you past Dreadhaven's moat. If I were them, I'd have half a mind to sell you out to the new King for a pardon. But it'd take a lot more than your head for Alteon to forgive their crimes. They don't have a loyal bone in their body, but they're ruthless if nothing else. Track them down and drag a few back. Show me what a Prince is capable of while you're at it.
I had a good laugh watching your sword slip out of your grip. We need to improve your footwork and stop you from panicking when you see a blade. Eh, it could've been worse. Were you always in danger of getting poisoned? It looks like you're used to working on an empty stomach. Good. You're already suited for the life you got ahead. Sit down before you get sick. I'll step in and take care of the rest just this once.

Fancy speech won't get you far living rough like me. That said, it could be handy if you plan to negotiate with your men. What's the word for it? Right, charisma. We'll see if you have any. Try talking to Edward. He's feared by the other bandits. But actually having gold to pay him would sweeten your words. It'll be you and me robbing some nice folks on the road. Take their gold, and show the bandits it's worth it to follow your lead.
You're definitely smarmy but not bad at making convincing promises. How many tutors did your pa hire to bring you up smart? Interesting. He executed some of them for putting dangerous ideas in your head. Him and all your grandads were proper paranoid of their sons taking over too early. That's why Edward saw you get thrashed by your pa at a party. You talked smarter than him. Ain't no reason to get mad at me. That's just the facts.

It's been a few weeks since we started to toughen you up. We've barely made any progress. Not surprising considering how your pa stunted your growth. Having a soft bed, and harsh words from your own father makes for a bad combination. You'll cut my head off, you say? Tell that to the knights coming our way. A fair number of them used to fight for Dethrix I. Now they're hunting you under Alteon's banner.
Gloating before a fight's over is really asking for it, but I'm not telling you to stop altogether. I had a sister that was as much of a clutz and big mouth as you. She knew she wasn't smart or talented. I'm not either. That's why Ophelia bragged up a storm. It forced her to live up to those standards. If you say it enough, believe it enough, you might make it come true…Forget what I said. Got caught up in memories long gone.

Seems like Alteon was more forgiving than we thought. The former Knights of King Dethrix recognized some of their compatriots among the team sent to hunt you. It's putting ideas in their heads. I listened in on a few schemers. Single them out and make an example of them. Royals do know how to put on a show, so go on. Show me how you punish traitors.
Decimation is a fancy word. Not only did you punish the schemers but you maimed the rest of the gang for not being attentive. The old Kings used to do that to their armies when mutiny became a problem, huh. Did those Kings hide behind a tree and throw up just like you did? Yeah I heard you back there. Let me tell you, it's one thing to talk big and give orders. It's another to get your own hands dirty. Eventually, you'll learn to stomach it.

Another gaggle of knights are after us. A crook like me is a nuisance to the crown, but you. They'll kill you on sight because of what's in your blood. Just being alive is a threat to the new Kingdom. That'll inspire even the greenest squires to chase your tail. It'll be annoying to constantly be chased night and day. Had that problem myself for a while. So, here's an idea. Follow my lead and force these knights into the Town Hall close by.
Looks like the villagers barricaded themselves in the Town Hall with the Knights. Heh, fires sound different when it's people mixed in with the wood. It's gonna be a nasty surprise when the villagers from over the hill follow the smoke and dig through the ashes. The story will spread. It won't dissuade the big fish, but it'll get rid of all the ankle biters thinking you're easy prey. Hope you're learning. I won't be arou… No, it's nothing.
Items Required:
- Knight's Emblem x7

This isn't a smart idea, but there's no use trying to reason once your mind gets set on skinning a fool. Fine fine, I'll go along so you won't die and duck out of your end of the bargain. Reignolds' tower is up ahead. We have a greater advantage in the trees, so have your men make a ruckus to lure his knights out. We'll put a dent in their numbers before letting ourselves in.
There's a stench coming from the entrance. Even those knights weren't right. I remember it clear as day. It's the same smell I had to live with for years in chains. That's a bad sign, boy. Based on the information your men collected, Reignolds hasn't been in the tower long. So why does it already smell like the same pit of a thousand corpses that was in the castle dungeons? I know I can't stop you but we better go at it cautiously.
Items Required:

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
The rest of the bandits are uneasy. Reignolds' tower is made of glass like a greenhouse, but it's close to freezing instead of humid. Like I said, we'll be cautious and take a look around. Have the men scout upstairs and in the cellar. If you run into anything, don't go attacking it just yet. We need to know who and what we're dealing with. Reignolds' daughter should be in the building. She might know something.
A necromancer in plain sight. Reignolds must've jumped in the bath everyday to keep Alteon from smelling the corpses. You found that out from his daughter? What was she doing in the cellar? …You're awful adamant about not going back there. Looking pale as a ghost too…No, not going to bother you about it. The faster we're done with this, the better.

I thought it was strange for Reignolds to have so many servants and knights. He's not rich or someone as important as a Duke. Based on what his daughter said, he's skilled at keeping dead things looking fresh. These dull eyed servants aren't barely able to stand because they're tired. They're actually undead. We need to get rid of them before their master starts giving them orders.
The servants don't bleed. I bet most of them weren't even his servants to begin with. Grave robbing might have been fine with Dethrix but not Alteon. Drakath? What's going on with you?…Right, we talked about this. You got no respect for necromancers or any sort of freakish undead looking to take your Kingdom for themselves. Don't let that cloud your judgment. Sometimes you gotta work with them to get what you want.
Items Required:
- Servant's Rotted Limb x7
- Dropped by Taxidermied Servant

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Wasn't the chamber at the top of the tower locked? He's barricaded himself there and it'll take time for the other bandits to break the lock. I wonder if Reignolds can see through the eyes of his undead minions. Calling me paranoid? Paranoia is what's going to keep you alive when I'm gone. Stop scowling, and butcher the undead servants shambling around. It'll be a good warm up before facing Reignolds.
The area's secure, which means this is your last chance. Alteon has to want this necromancer dead almost as much as you do. His knights can't be far behind us. Drakath, it's a waste of energy trying to wring Reignolds' neck. Pride is only gold when you have the throne. It's worthless if you're dead…No stopping you, I suppose. Alright. Then, I'll have your back.
Items Required:
- Servants Eliminated x7
- Dropped by Taxidermied Servant
- Knights Eliminated x7

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.
Lord Reignolds being a snob and coward is what kept us alive. If you want to kill him, focus. Don't get distracted and don't lose your head. Desperation drives men wild. At worst, Reignolds won't see a way out of this and decide he'll jump into death's waiting arms. Drakath, you have to survive. Prioritize your survival above all else. Don't let that mage take you down with him.
Use anything and anyone to survive. Whatever it takes. Then, I can rest easy. I can tell my sister that I did it. I did my best.
Items Required:
- Reignolds Defeated x1
- Dropped by Lord Reignolds
Rewards:
- 15,000 Gold
