Intruders, you say?! What with a full battalion stationed here? The gall! And the intrigue! Now, listen up, my men, catch 'em midstream and filet 'em like fish!

  1. "Micaiah: Sothe, do you know the layout of the manor?
    Sothe: I was here years ago. As I remember, there's a large armory tucked deep inside the building. And if I understand correctly, Begnion soldiers guard valuables they've stolen–from rare objects to necessary supplies–in that armory.
    Micaiah: Then the medicine will be there, too.
