On The Scent

On the scent is a Quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. One of the members of the Neuhof gang, a fellow who goes by the moniker of Reeky, should be somewhere in the vicinity of Ledetchko. Unfortunately, that's about all I could find out so far. I expect it shouldn't be too hard to... well, catch scent of this Reeky, though I don't expect it will be a pleasant encounter.

On the scent Objectives

• ???

  • Start: Track down another member of the Neuhof gang, a fellow who goes by the nickname of Reeky.

  • Completed: I found out that Reeky was involved in poaching, which is no great surprise, considering the reputation he has among the locals. But the important thing is he has a poaching hideout in the woods and it's quite possible he's hiding out there. Of course the problem with hideouts is they're supposed to be hard to find. So it looks like I know where Reeky is, only I don't know where that "where" is.

• Bring the hare meat to the innkeeper.

  • Start: The innkeeper knows where Reeky's hideout is and Reeky owes him some hare meat. So I made a deal with him: I'll bring him some the game he'll tell me what he knows.

  • Completed: I brought the Ledetchko innkeeper the game Reeky owed him and in return he told me Reeky's hideout must be somewhere underground, because he needs lots of light there.

• Find Reeky's hideout according to Raspberry's directions.

  • Start: Raspberry the woodcutter told me about some drunken escapade during which he visited Reeky's poaching lair and even gave me exact directions to it. So if I follow them, I should find the hideout easily. If the word of a drunkard can be believed, of course.

• Find the beginning of the path in the woodcutters' camp

  • Start: The path begins on the western edge of the clearing where the woodcutters' camp is.

• Go down to the stream until you see a fallen tree-trunk lying across it.

  • Start: Follow the path down to the stream. There should be a fallen tree-trunk a little upstream.

• Cross the trunk to the other side and go uphill untill you reach a big boulder.

  • Start: According to the directions I got, I have to continue along the left-hand path until I hear a millwheel on a stream. If there is a millwheel. Who knows what that drunken woodcutter heard?

• Find the little millwheel below the spring.

  • Start: When I reach the boulder I have to keep my ears open for the little millwheel below the spring.

• Go around the spring and you'll see the clearing. Go towards it.

  • Start: According to Raspberry's directions, I have to go around the spring and find a clearing.

• Reeky's cave is somewhere in the clearing.

  • Start: According to Raspberry's directions, Reeky's hideout is somewhere in the clearing.

  • Completed: I found it. It's a pity those precise directions didn't lead to treasure. It almost sounded that way. But instead of treasure I can look forward to meeting a stinking poacher and bandit.

• Talk to Reeky's father

  • Start: The locals advised me to ask about Reeky at his folks' house. It's not a task I relish - a tanner's workshop is not the sweetest smelling of places.

  • Failed: The locals advised me to talk to Reeky's father. His reputation in Ledetchko isn't much better than his son's. Still, his worries are over now, since he died in msterious circumstances.

• Talk to the bathhouse wench that Reeky is seeing.

  • Start: I found out that Reeky was seeing one of the bathhouse wenches from the Ledetchko baths.

  • Failed: I wanted to talk to the bath wench Adela, who was on intimate terms with Reeky, but unfortunately there was an inexplicable accident and she's no longer among the living.

• Reeky was selling poached game to the innkeeper. I should go and check that out.

  • Start: It seems Reeky didn't poach game just to enjoy a more varied diet. He was making coin from selling the game to the innkeeper in Ledetchko.

  • Failed: I was intending to talk to the innkeeper who was mixed up in the poaching business along with Reeky, but it seems justice caught up with him before I did and took his life.

• Track down Reeky

  • Start: Reeky is probably hiding in his poachers' hideout. If I find the hideout, I'll find Reeky.

• Ask at the woodcutters' camp.

  • Start: The bathouse wench told me that Reeky used to come and see her after his poaching raids and on his way he usually stopped off at the woodcutters' camp on the hills east of Ledetchko.

• Track down Reeky

  • Completed: Reeky, one of the Neuhof gang, really was hiding out in an old mineshaft. And with good reason, as it turned out. Shortly after I found out from him where another member of the gang was, we were ambushed.

  • Start: Adela told me Reeky has money stashed away. It's buried in the western corner of the smallholding behind the tannery.
