Quest Briefing (Optional)[]
So you've found out where they hid my brother? Splendid work. I flatter myself that I'm a fine judge of character, and you look to be a man who can get things done. Now, go out and save his unworthy hide!
- Very well, I go now to attack the bandits in their lair, and find your brother.
- I cannot deal with this matter at this time.
Player Defeated[]
You recover consciousness a short while later, and see that the kidnappers have celebrated their victory by breaking open a cask of wine, and have forgotten to take a few elementary precautions -- like binding your hands and feet. You manage to slip away. Based on the boisterous sounds coming from the hideout, you suspect that you may yet have some time to gather a few more followers and launch another attack.
Quest Aftermath[]
Merchant's Brother: "Thank you, sir, for rescuing me from those fiends. Did my brother in (capital) put you onto their track?"
Player: "Yes, I told him that I would find you. I advise you return to your family as quickly as you can -- and be careful on the road."
