Hi there, everyone! I seem to have a problem in M&B:WFAS. So the story goes: I go to a Village Elder. He assigns me a task to get rid of some cattle thieves who come at night and tells me to be at the town, ready to fight them. I check my journal for the name of the quest, it's called "Hunt Down Thieves" and lasts 4 days. But when I wait until midnight, no bandits show up and then I am very confused. I hunt down every bandit I could find but none were related to the quest. Eventually, I run out of the 4 day time limit and fail. Could anyone tell me if this quest is bugged and if it isn't, where can I find the bandits? Many thanks in advance. ThatRussianYouKnow (talk) 20:03, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

I do not have WF&S, and am not familiar with the quest, but perhaps you need to talk to the village elder or something to trigger the bandit attack?

Ok, I'll try your suggestion, Tephra. Thanks for telling me at least some knowledge of what to do, I was completely clueless before.

No luck. I tried talking with the village elder at midnight, nothing happened. :( ThatRussianYouKnow (talk) 14:05, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

I have succeeded in the quest! I had to go to the town center of the village I was at during midnight, and sure enough, I bumped into the cattle thieves. Shot them all, and then went to the village elder and collected my reward. ThatRussianYouKnow (talk) 14:53, November 14, 2015 (UTC)
