Introduction QuestDirk is concerned about encroaching Blackwolders, and wants you to defeat and search a spy.
STEPS:
1) Dirk wants you to kill a Blackwold spy. They may be found "to the southeast of the sheep-farm, between the farm and Bronwe’s Folly." One was seen at 27s, 48.7w.
2) Loot the "Blackwold Orders" from the body, and bring them to Dirk.
3) Dirk confirms that the orders expose Calder’s treachery, and urges you to bring them to Captain Brackenbrook.
4) Go to Captain Brackenbrock in the Mad Badger Inn in Archet. He now believes you, and has the traitor Calder Cob put in custody.
5) After you speak with him and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and your choice of a Padded Vest or a Leather Shirt, and you may take the quest: INTRO: The Captain’s Son.
