• HIDDEN Uncover the informant's lie (visit all the secluded dwellings)

  • Completed: That treacherous charcoal-burner fobbed me off with lies! I scouted out all the smallholdings and Ginger is nowhere to be seen. I might have expected as much from a Judas who'd sell his friends to anyone for a bit of silver. But I paid the bastard back for his treachery!
