Strategy Guide/Tips

  • The quest will start when you talk to either one of these characters for the first time:
  • If you side with Burro and Kana and end up helping them in combat against Elodi, be careful not to damage them accidentally with AoE or ranged attacks, as they will turn on you.
  • Elodi will defeat Burro and Kana on her own. She will lose if you help Burro and Kana.
  • If Elodi is alive be sure to go talk to her at the Elf Cave.
  • One way of resolving the dispute is to choose the dialog option that implies Elodi is a dangerous assassin. Other ways include paying the toll for her, or killing the elf. But see tip below.
  • Under certain circumstances, the quest does not seem to complete. Such as if you threaten Burro, or if you don't intervene. You will gain experience and Elodi will run to the Elf Cave but the quest log won't update even when you go to the Elf Cave and speak to here there (possible bug?). It seems like the two sure ways to complete the quest is to fight the thugs, or kill Elodi.
