[edit] Walkthrough
It is best to start this quest from Ashford Abbey. Exit from it and head across the worm field. You will see some bandits wandering around and near a campfire ringed by crates. That would be the bandit camp. Try to only fight the ones that attack you first, if you want to save time. Only the ones closest to the strongbox will notice you, so when they do, be prepared. Be careful not to aggro too many of them at once. Once the camp is clear, pick up the strongbox and take it to Devona for your reward.
Do not use map travel in an attempt to shorten your walk. If you leave the area, the strongbox will disappear and you will have to redo the quest.
[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- Baron Egan
- A group of bandits has been terrorizing Lakeside recently. They have grown so bold that they ambushed a royal tax collector and stole a chest full of gold. That gold is vital to our war effort against the Charr and must be recovered! You look like you could give those bandits a good thrashing. Will you recover the stolen chest and then return it to Devona in Ashford for me?
- Accept: "You can count on me."
- Decline: "I don't think I'm the right person for the job."
When asked about quest: The sooner you go after those bandits, the better the chances of catching them. Bring back that chest of gold. Hurry!
[edit] Reward dialogue
- Devona
- That is that chest of stolen gold that Baron Egan has been talking about! It must have been difficult dealing with those bandits. I'm impressed! If only we had more like you, we'd have no fear of the Charr at all
[edit] Notes
- Sometimes a Wolf will attack the Bandit Firestarters (the short ones that can use Flare), and a long fight will start. It's safe to go up close and watch, because the Wolf will be busy and the Firestarters won't attack you unless you start a fight with them. In fact, try not to fight them, because all of them will use Flare on you at least twice. You can even walk right up to them with the strongbox and they won't do anything.
