Detailed WalkthroughEdit

An anxious cook named Bea Lailonde stands on one of the higher floors of the Servants' Quarters in Goldstone castle. She has been sending weekly letters to a penpal named Cerdia Baraci for years, but it has been a considerable period since she last heard from Cerdia. Worried, Bea asks that you pay her a visit in her home in Archad. She'll give you 75 gold for your travel expenses and for any potions needed to allay any sickness that Cerdia may suffer. She'll also give you a Letter to Cerdia Baraci to pass on, with the contents of this letter revealing that it is the eighth that she has sent without receiving a response.

You can take a ship from Anvil to Archad, or else reach the village by following the north bank of the Strid River inland. Once there, you'll find Cerdia in her home. Talk to her about the Cerdia Baraci topic and say that Bea sent you. She isn't entirely surprised. It turns out that she's decided not to be Bea's pen pal any longer, having been overwhelmed by the letters, and with Bea having missed or ignored her attempts to be let down gently.

Return to Bea to break the news of Cerdia's wishes in unambiguous terms. Bea's very embarrassed to have it laid out by this, deciding that she will not be needing her writing materials and passing them to you by way of reward. She then understandably asks for some time alone.
