A Dubious Gift

Description

The deacon asked me to find the cathedral caretaker – Radu. In return, I will be given permission to enter the cathedral library.

Guide

This quest is accepted from the Deacon, but you must be on the A Monk and a Saint quest to access it. Speak to the Deacon and ask about the crypt. When he tells you there is no crypt, ask if it’s been built over. Once again, he’ll tell you there is no crypt, but he will ask you to find his caretaker, Radu, who spent a lot of time in the almshouse, north of the Cathedral.

Go to the almshouse and speak to the nun to the right of the door, then go upstairs and speak to Stefan up there to the right. Clean his wound (1 Time) to find out about the abandoned wing. On the same floor, enter the room to the east and inspect the scratch marks on the floor next to the cabinet. Push the cabinet (1 Time) to find a hidden room. Make your way down the bottom, examining the various clues along the way. Make sure you pick up the Empty Bottle and Precious Brooch catalysts on the middle and bottom floors.

Follow the linear path into the large room to encounter The Almshouse Monstrosity. Defeat it, loot the key, and compel the soul in the same room. Now return to the Deacon and tell him what happened (2 Time).

Outcome	Text
1	I found Radu in the abandoned wing of the almshouse – and killed him. He was working for Xanthe and the vrakhir thanked him for his service by turning Radu into some monstrosity. I delivered the grim news to the deacon – he was quite shaken, but still gave me access to the cathedral library.
2	I found Radu in the abandoned wing of the almshouse – and killed him. He was involved in something shady that ultimately led to him becoming a monstrosity. I delivered the grim news to the deacon – he was quite shaken, but still gave me access to the cathedral library.
3	I found Radu in the abandoned wing of the almshouse – unfortunately, he and many others were killed by a monstrosity that had made its lair in there. I delivered the grim news to the deacon – he was quite shaken, but still gave me access to the cathedral library.
4	I never found out what happened to the missing caretaker – facing Brencis was more important than solving this particular mystery.
5	I found out what happened to Radu, but since the deacon was already dead, I had no one to report my findings to.
6	I never found out what happened to the missing caretaker - after I killed all the residents of the almshouse, there was no one to tell me what was happening in that place.
