Objective[ | ]

  • Search Gothwan's known hangouts for clues to his current whereabouts.

Summary[ | ]

Private Hawthidon
Our best hope for finding Karzov and the stolen Crown lies with the Nasher cutpurse Gothwan Cooper who took part of [sic] the theft. I've marked a few of his known haunts on your map. Investigate those areas, and see if you can turn up some clue to where he may be hiding.

  • Search for Clues to Gothwan's Location. (0/3)
  • Return to Hawthidon

Dialogue[ | ]

Private Hawthidon
I've been keeping Sergeant Knox appraised of your progress. I believe he is quite impressed so far.

Completion[ | ]

Private Hawthidon
The dismissive note, the dead bodies, and the sewer key, they all add up to one thing: Gothwan Cooper has been kidnapped by the infamous Dead Rats gang!
