|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Amusei has given me another message from the Gray Fox. I am to meet him at Ganrendel's house in Cheydinhal. | ||
| 20 | The Gray Fox has asked me to find out where Springheel Jak is buried. This famous thief died 300 years ago. He is rumored to have owned a pair of magical boots. The story also says he was buried in those boots. A relative of his, Jakben, Earl of Imbel, lives somewhere in the Imperial City. | ||
| 20 (mistake?) | There is a descendent of Springheel Jak living in the Imperial City named Jakben, Earl of Imbel. The Gray Fox has suggested I look there for clues as to where he is buried. Once I know where to look, I am to get the boots and bring them back to the Gray Fox in Ganredhel's house in Cheydinhal. | ||
| 30 | I found a book of Imbel family geneology. Very interesting reading. I should ask the Gray Fox about this. (This will appear in your journal if you already had the Count tell you where the mausoleum is.) or
I found a book of Imbel family geneology. No mention of Springheel Jak's burial location. Maybe the Earl himself can tell me, with a little friendly persuasion. (This will appear in your journal if you have not yet questioned the Count.) | ||
| 35 | What luck! The family mausoleum for the Imbels is in the basement of the Jakben's house. The poor Earl was so terrified he told me everything I needed to know. He even gave me the key! Now to find those boots. | ||
| 37 | The boots were not in the tomb of Springheel Jak. I did find a diary though. Maybe it can provide a clue. | ||
| 40 | I have read Jakben Imbel's diary, or should I say Springheel Jak's diary. Now I understand why the boots were not in the tomb. Why bury such a valuable item when you can wear it? Even more shocking, it seems that Springheel Jak may have known the Gray Fox himself! They may have been partners in crime several centuries ago. | ||
| 45 | I have the boots. Now to get back to the Gray Fox in Ganredhel's house in Cheydinhal. | ||
| 49 | The Gray Fox thanked me for getting him the boots. However, I will not get my fee until I pay the blood price for my murders. | ||
| 50 | ✔ | The Gray Fox thanked me for getting him the boots. He paid me 500 gold coins for my efforts. | |
| 55 | (Player has left house) | ||
| 60 | ✔ | I learned that the Gray Fox is not immortal. The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal has been passed from master thief to master thief for close to 300 years now. The original thief that stole it from Nocturnal is long dead. So who is the current Gray Fox? (Does not finish the quest, but makes it impossible to continue.) |
