Hey, Daeva, c'mere!

Derot thinks I never break the rules, but I've made stacks of Kinah on the side. If you can keep quiet, I've got a job that me and the boys need kept quiet, even from Derot and the boss.

What do you say? Want in?

• "Quiet! Derot's standing right there."

I'll be quiet, but don't worry about Derot. Believe me, he doesn't listen to a thing I say.

Here in Ishalgen is an Odella Plantation, closely guarded by the Mau and farmed day and night by the Dundun. Hephe, Alfrigh, and I are going to raid it and keep the plunder for ourselves. We could use a fourth body to watch our backs.

I know you've got that cutthroat spirit in you. When I mentioned your name to the boys, none of them had any complaints.

So, to cut a long story short, I'm standing here, you're standing there, and I'm offering you guaranteed plunder for a quick raid. What do you say?

• Accept.
• Decline.

First, we need to tell the others you're one of us. I'll talk to Alfrigh; you head back to Aldelle Village and let Hephe know what's up. Make sure he's got the incendiary devices ready too, eh?

One last thing: if he asks you about the weather, say "I don't care for the cold; money warms my heart." Say anything else, and he won't talk to you about the plan.

Hurry up, Daeva. We want to get in and get out quickly.

• "Back to Aldelle I go."

Mijou, Hephe, and Alfrigh formed a plan together to loot the Odella Plantation. Tell Hephe that you've agreed to join them and check to see if he's finished preparing incendiary devices.

You come here for anything in particular, Daeva, or just to look pretty?

Come on now, don't waste my time. With the weather as cold as it is, I gotta keep moving.

• "I don't care for the cold. Money warms my heart."

You're the new member, are you? Good, I've heard what you're capable of.

I've got bad news, though. We can't raid the plantation tonight. I don't know whether Ulgorn caught wind of our scheme, but he's had me running around, bleeding and sweating, all day. I ain't had a chance to prepare the incendiaries for the raid. We need to wait a few days until things settle back down.

Do me a favour, Daeva. Tell Alfrigh that the plan has been postponed. He ain't known for his patience, and I worry that he'll charge into the plantation on his own, even if we don't show up.

• "Sure thing."

You must be the new Daeva I keep hearing great things about! I'm Alfrigh.

Everything ready? Where are the others?

Come on, Daeva! I'm itching to spill some Mau blood and spend some Mau coin.

• "Plan's been postponed. No incendiaries yet."

What? No incendiaries!

Well that's that, then. I was looking forward to watching those incendiaries explode, and I suppose I can wait another few days.

You don't think Ulgorn heard something, do you? That'd be bad--real bad.

Take this for your trouble. I know you ain't done nothin' yet, but I want you to know we're serious--serious about getting filthy rich.

Mijou suggested raiding the Odella Plantation without telling the leader. You told Hephe that you want to take part in the raid and took the opportunity to ask him if the incendiary devices had already been prepared. Hephe replied that he needed a few more days for the preparations and that the plan would have to be postponed.

When you delivered this news to Alfrigh, you received a reward.
