ID: PC_m1_Anv_Bounty_MC
   

PrerequisitesEdit

This bounty is offered only if the bounties on Annka Stone-Sides, Jarus Trasius and Rue Vaneria have been completed. Additionally, as the dialogue for Bounty: Rycima triggers on the completion of three other bounties (and takes precedence over the dialogue concerning the bounty for the Masqued Captain), that quest will also require completion before this bounty is offered.

Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Speak to Lantin Chaskav in Goldstone's garrison about bounty and then Masqued Captain.
  2. Locate The Masqued Captain's ship, Crypsis, on Olvos Isle in the Abecean Sea.
  3. Talk to the captain about the bounty and state your desire to either capture or kill him.
  4. Defeat the Masqued Captain.
  5. Either:
    • Refuse the captain's surrender and kill him.
    • Accept the captain's surrender, talk to him about ready to sail, then escort him to Faviana Taucita in Goldstone's Grand Foyer.
  6. Speak to Lantin Chaskav.
  7. (Optionally, if you took the signet ring) Tell Lantin of the ring, then bring it to Queen Millona Conomorus for further payment.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

If you've done enough work for him, Lantin will task you with taking down the infamous Masqued Captain - whether bringing him in alive, or killing him. The offered reward is 10,000 gold either way. He has no clues as to the captain's current whereabouts.

You can ask many people around the Kingdom of Anvil about the Masqued Captain topic, but most will respond only with rumors - he is said to be the Queen's (rumored) lover Admiral Hasi, King Orgnum of Pyandonea, a friend of goblin pirates and the lover of the goddess Khenarthi. Nobody can actually identify exactly where he hides, but a few places are mentioned, including the smaller islands of the Abecean Sea, north of Stirk Isle. It's here that you need to direct your search. You'll eventually find the captain's ship, Crypsis, docked at Olvos Isle.

The Masqued Captain is in the ship's cabin. Speak to him about his bounty, and you will have the option of saying you mean to kill him, or to take him alive. Either way, he'll attack. Reduce his health enough, and he'll offer to surrender. You can accept it, or kill him. If you kill him, be sure to take King Claudius' Signet Ring from his body.If you accept his surrender, speak to him about the ready to sail topic to find yourself (some hours later) on the beach with the captain - his ship having deposited you on a beach northwest of Anvil. Bring him to Faviana Taucita in Goldstone's Grand Foyer - dialogue will trigger as the captain approaches her, taking him off your hands.

Whether you captured or killed the Masqued Captain, speak to Lantin Chaskav for a 10,000 gold reward. If you killed him and took King Claudius' Signet Ring, you'll have the option of showing it to Lantin. He'll tell you to speak to Queen Millona Conomorus for an additional reward (5,000 gold and an Imperial Royal Silver Longsword).
