Some guy dropped by my village, destroyed one of the beds in our public inn, and attacked the guy who was just sleeping in it. He's left vandalism, battery, and trespassing scents. I think he also left theft scents at a nearby home. He managed to punch our villager 2 or 3 times it seems, but it wasn't too effective. He seemed to be wearing leather gear and a boar tusk helmet. I think our guy lost something like 10 HHP and wasn't KO'd, he managed to make it to safety. I stalled the criminal with an alt briefly, but he escaped in his wagon. We tailed him and memorized him, turns out he was raiding some other village. His hearth fire is farther southeast of Malaz, it seems. Quite a bit so... I couldn't manage to get close enough since I saw 3 murder scents and heard combat noises, so I returned home.
If you live in the northwest region and want to try out that murder skill of yours, we can hook you up with the scents. We can offer you foods such as carrot cakes, rings of brodgar (the baked good), birthday cakes, pirozhkis, blueberry pies, cow chorizos, pumpkin pies, honey buns, piglet wursts, boiled mussels, and other things (most of the baked goods are around q20). Perhaps just 6 foods of choice for taking on the job with a limit of no more than 3 of each of the same food. If you need to build a ram at the criminal's fort, we can sponsor you with the bone glue and ropes. Any loot you acquire is yours to keep and we can give you a small chest filled with whatever foods we have that you want and/or up to 10 cast iron bars and/or up to 25 linen cloths if you bring back the skeleton for confirmation.
As this is said to be a dangerous area, we may want to hire you as a mercenary again in the future with better rewards depending on how reliable and stuff you are. Post here or PM me if you're interested.
