Oh well, such as life that it is... I spend about 15 minutes jumping, crawling around that thing, I would've even licked it if I could... At least I made sure that swampsharks are now endangered (if not extinct) species

This is what I think, there is a band of thiefs up in the mountains near a troll, originally this was to be a quest in the game but it was removed i dunno why??

But im sure you could become a thief/mage/warrior in the game, hence the picklocking etc, and maybe you had to steal that object glowing on it for him..

Also later on the letter you have to give to our friendly sect boy at the orc castle, if you read it, states that the previous owner sold his entire land to the fief (thief its how it was spelled on the letter)

*shrugs* who knows?

Actualy fief = Feudal domain, land, so probably it's a translation error, I've not seen the German version of the document, but I suspect the meaning is "sold the feif to ...", but then again - i could be wrong... Give me the original text and I'll doublecheck, though my German is rusty..... :smile:

A fief is a territory granted to a vassal by a lord. This term has been used to describe grants of territory, along with accompanying peasants, farmland, and soldiers, in both medieval Europe and Japan.

Like other things that note just lacks proper punctuation.

"Sold to XXXXXXX: The fief, 200 gp." would have cleared up all confusion.

I think that, after being kicked out, the weed mixers go to the little camp up the mountain.
