Walkthrough[]
Street thug called Balin asked Lucian to retrieve stolen neckalce back from Jonas. Finding necklace was easy, it was on top of shelf in Jonas's house. Jonas admitted that he stole necklace, since he needs it more than Balin.
Note: killing Balin after ageeing to retrieve necklace fails both quests at this point. There's also no possibility to tell Jonas about Balin's death.
Lucian can now;
- Give necklace to Balin, losing 1 reputation, getting some experience, and 100 gold.
- Telling Jonas to agree killing Balin to rid poor area of his influence. New quest appears in journal, namely Teach Balin a lesson.
Giving Balin the necklace rewards with 100 gold, -1 reputation and 100 gold. Also Jonas is killed. Killing Balin rewards +1 reputation, experience but no gold. Jonas stays alive. Also Jonas leaves and Lucian gets to keep necklace.
