A Bloody Craft: Kingdom Quests

Travel around the Northern and Southern Narlmarches until you trigger a random encounter with Poacher Alchemist and two Poacher Brawlers. Prioritize the alchemist. Defeat them and loot them. The Brawlers drop a Falchion +1, a suit of Hide Armor +1, a Ring of Protection +1, coins, baubles, and potions. The alchemist drops a Chainshirt +1, a Light Crossbow +1, alchemical concoctions, and Lizardfolk Skins.

Pick up the chest of skins and return to Sharel in your village in the Northern Narlmarches. This earns you 180 XP.

The quest goes dormant until Sharel brings you another item in your throne room. He will mention that Morhalan escaped and that your Warden needs to hunt him down via the event Hunting for Morhalan. Assign your Warden, Councillor, or General to this event. It takes 20 days and 80 BP to complete.

Once the project is complete, the location of the Poacher’s Hideout will be added to the map.

Upon entering the Poacher's Hideout, attempt to disarm a trap to the east (Perception 27). Be aware of other traps to the east and southeast.

Advance east to find Morhalan, who will attempt to bribe you with 5,600 gold, 3x Rubies, 4x Emeralds, and 2x Diamonds. Accepting this bribe fails the quest.

Choose to fight Morhalan. You will engage several Bandit Brawlers, a Bandit Alchemist, and Morhalan. The Alchemist is a high priority due to _Greater Invisibility_ and force bombs. Use _Glitterdust_ to counter invisibility. Morhalan has low offense despite decent AC.

Defeat the Alchemist, then the Bandits and Morhalan. Morhalan will surrender. Take him captive. The other bandits drop various magical items. Loot chests to the east for potions and skins.

Return to Sharel in your village and inform him of Morhalan’s capture to end the quest, earning 600 XP.
