The Hidden TreasureEdit

When you approach him, he will lament "Dead...And without a scrap of treasure to my name."

"You there! You can see me?"

Who are you?

"Who am I? Why, I am Richard Dusant, famous adventurer and treasure hunter!
At least, that's who I was. Before the cultists in Dresan Keep killed me. I was in the ruins searching for the treasure, you see."

What treasure?

"The renowned treasure of Dresan Keep, of course!
You could finish my quest for me! There are three statues, the Heralds. Take the offerings I brought in my backpack and present them to the proper Heralds. That should open a passage under the well."

I'll present the offerings to the Heralds.

"Now listen carefully. There will be a lot to remember."

What sort of treasure will I find?

"The histories I read never specified, but it's said that the greatest treasure of the Breton kingdoms was stored here."

What are the Heralds and how do they work?

"The Heralds are three engraved statues that each offer a riddle. You must place an offering before each Herald.
The statues are the Herald of Thirst, the Herald of Memory, and the Herald of Illumination."

What offerings should I place?

"There are a number of possible offerings in my bag.
Take my backpack and see if you can match the offerings to the correct Heralds. Engravings on the statues provide clues about which offerings they will accept."

You were killed by cultists?

"Yes, the bastards! I tried to sneak past them, but … well, you see how well that turned out.
Being a ghost has put a bit of a damper on my adventuring career."

If you speak to him again:

"The riches of Dresan Keep were almost within my grasp!"

I have questions about the treasure and the ruins.

Return to him after investigating Dresan Keep, and he'll say:

"You've returned! What did you find?
Was it jewels? Ivory? Gold?"

I found the lost treasure. It was a vault full of ancient tomes and scrolls.

"What? There's no fabulous treasure? There's no gold? I died for a bunch of moldy old books?
Ah, cruel fate! I wish I had a book before all this that would have told me what was in this stupid old keep!"

The Dresan IndexEdit

This completes The Hidden Treasure and begins The Dresan Index:

"I can't believe all you brought me was a dusty old book."

What should I do with the Dresan Index?

"I planned to meet my friend Valinwe in Aldcroft after I recovered the keep's treasures. She's in the Mages Guild. I suppose you could tell her what you found.
And tell her what happened to me, I guess."

Will she be interested in the Dresan Index?

"Indeed! I know she'll be interested in what you discovered. Like all members of the Mages Guild, she's always been more attracted to stuffy old books than to gold or jewels.
Ah well, I suppose it's time for me to move on. Farewell."

I'll look for Valinwe the next time I'm in Aldcroft.

With that, he'll vanish from the game.
