Journal progression

Phase 1Arm the Shearston Farmhands

I arrived at the Shearston Estate northwest of Haywind, and discovered it’s blockaded by marauding bandits with no help from Haywind in sight. The farmers of Shearston have decided to stand up for themselves, under the leadership of the family’s head James Shearston and his wife Madelaine.

James has asked for my help in arming his farmhands, to which I agreed. They’re depending on me delivering them 3 copper broadswords and 3 copper roundshields.

Phase 2Acquire Firestick Mixture for James Shearston

James Shearston plans to assault the bandits surrounding his home in a surpise move. He has a special plan in mind for me to carry out. He didn’t share much detail yet, except that it involves creating fire…

For that purpose, he asked me to gather 5 Firestick plants out in the woods north of the Shearston Estate and deliver them to the wise woman living opposite the Shearston’s main building.

Once she gives me the supplies I need, we should be ready to begin our attack.

Phase 3Accompany James Shearston towards the bandit encampment

Shearston's farmhands have already rushed ahead to begin the assault, but James has a special task in mind for me to carry out. I should accompany him to the field of battle...

Phase 4Speak with James Shearston

I ought to speak with James Shearston at the woods west of his estate.

Phase 5Burn down the bandit camp

James Shearston led me to a corner of the woods west of his estate, close to the bandit camp. While James and his men engage the bandits head on in the field of battle, it is my task to sneak through the woods and circle to their campsite from behind.

I should then use the Firestick bombs the wise woman gave me to burn their camp down.

*Minimum of 4 bombs will be required to burn the camp.*

Phase 6Return to the Shearston Estate

I’ve thoroughly set the bandit camp aflame and the sounds of battle appear to have died down. I should make my way back to the Shearston Estate to see how the farmers fared.
