A Rock and a Hard Place Objectives
-
Find out when they're going to transport the coin from Talmberg to the quarry.
-
Start: If we're to pull off this robbery, we need to know more. I was given the task of finding out when they'll be transporting the coin from Talmberg.
-
Completed: If the robbery was to succeed, I'd have to have more information. I found out when the quarrymen's wages would be transported, but we didn't have much time to prepare for the hold-up.
-
-
Find out from the herb woman if there is a way to help the horses. Or to harm them?

Start: The herb woman might be able to help the groom with his problems.
-
Completed: The herbwoman really helped in the end. She definitely knows her craft.
-
-
Get the concoction for digestion.

Start: If I want to get a cure for the horses in Talmberg, an ordinary digestive potion should do the trick.

Get to the clearing.
-
Start: I have to make it to the clearing between Talmberg and Rovna with the loot. It's just over the bridge by the hanged man. But do I really want to share the money?
-
Failed: I decided keep the loot and let my mates go to hell. What can I say? I just love coin.
-
Completed: I was to go to the clearing with the loot, which I did. It was time to share it out.
-
-
Sick horses.
-
Completed: It looks like the local stable has a number of sick horses. Maybe there's a way to take advantage of that? Or, on the contrary, I could help them...
-

Get the venom for poisioning the horses.
-
Start: I found out from the herb woman that if I wanted to make sure that none of horses were able to ride for a couple of days, I just have to cook up a classic poisonous potion.
-
Completed: I found out from the herb woman that to keep the horses out of action for a few days, all I need is to brew a posion potion. It seemed like the only option.

Tell Matthew when the Groschen are coming to the quarry.

Start: Now I know when the money will arrive at the quarry. If there is nothing else to find out, I can tell Matthew and we'll get ready.

Failed: I missed my chance to take part in the quarry raid. Next time I should be more careful about the time.
-
Completed: Matthew has taken due note of this information. It looks as if the robbery is truly about to happen.

Update – poison

-
-
Update – digestion
-
Completed: I helped the groom with his horses. They should be healthy soon. But I don't think my mates, the would-be quarry roobbers, will thank me for it.

Steal the Groschen that the Talmberg soldiers are bringing to the quarry.

Less soldiers

They're here

Completed: The soldiers have already reached the quarry. If I want to try anything, now is my only chance!
-
-
Now to wait.
-
Start: I've reported Fritz and Matthew's plan to rob the quarry, which will open the Gates of Hell to my lifelong friends. But there was nothing else I could do. And now, if I don't want to watch them falling into a trap, I'd better just wait and see how it turns out.
-
-
Wait a few days and then go see Robard.
-
Completed: It might not have been a nice thing to do to my friends, but I couldn't let those good-for-nothings rob the quarrymen of the wages they'd earned by the sweat of their brows. Some might call it treachery, but this province needs law and order, not more bandits. And Captain Robard commended me for my honesty.
-
-
Wait a few days and then go see Robard.
-
Start: I snitched on them all. Andrew, Fritz, and Matthew. Robard told me he'd take care of it and that I should come see him in a few days.

-
Make it so that as few guards as possible transport the money.
-
Start: Fritz came up with the idea that if I make a commotion somewhere around Talmberg to lure the guards, fewer will be available to go to the quarry. He also told me that soldiers are lazy and if we saw to it they had no horses and had to go on foot, it would make the robbery a lot easier.
-
Completed: I've done things that I might be a bit ashamed of. But in any case not many soldiers escorted the train to the quarry…

Give Matthew a share of the loot.
-
Start: I should pay Matthew his fair share of the stolen coin. Best to meet him in the Inn in the Glade.
-
Failed: Matthew didn't do much to help me steal the quarrymen's wages, so I figured he didn't deserve a share.
-
Completed: I'm not one to cheat on a lifelong friend, so I gave Matthew a fair share of the loot.
-
-
Give Fritz a share of the loot.

Start: I figure Fritz played his part in the success of our venture and he ought to get a fair share. I'm sure I'll find him in the Inn in the Glade along with Matthew.

Failed: I didn't think Fritz helped much with stealing the quarrymen's wages, so I gave him nothing.
