[edit] Walkthrough
This quest is simple. Don't go running after the Sneaky Corsair, or you'll be very lucky to catch him even with speed boosts and snares. Cut a wide path around him to get in front of him. Then use a snare and kill him. Bringing ranged attackers can help you finish the runner if he slips through your initial attack.

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Elder Olunideh
- "Did you see him? Rahlon saw a corsair in the fields of Issnur Isles and chased him right through the village! Rahlon is no match for a corsair, especially if that scoundrel has friends nearby. As a sunspear, it is your duty to protect us. Please meet Rahlon in the Mehtani Keys and help him chase down that man. I can spare a few locals to help you."
- Accept: "We must hurry before the corsair gets away!"
- Decline: "Chase down a corsair? Forget it! He's long gone by now."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
- Rahlon
- "Elder Olunideh sent you? Good, I wouldn't want to face that corsair on my own. He looked like a nasty little man. I'm sure you'll be able to handle him though. He's been sneaking around our village and I'm sure it's not for a good reason. I saw him heading off to the south just a minute ago. If we hurry, we should be able to catch him before he gets back to his ship."
[edit] Reward dialogue
Rahlon
- "Well, he won't be causing any more trouble, but I wonder if there is more of his kind out here. It doesn't make sense that a scoundrel of that sort'd be alone."
[edit] Notes
- If you don't have a sprint skill, you'll never catch the "Sneaky Corsair". Even if you do, you'll end up fighting the Mandragor that are hidden in the sand, along with other nuisances.
- You can simply kill the corsair after he reaches his destination if you haven't talked to Rahlon, and then talk to Rahlon (after killing the sneaky corsair) to get your reward.
- Another possibility is to clear the island as mentioned and then station your heroes and henchmen (if any) on a pass which he takes, such as a bridge. The corsair will follow his route and run right to your heroes and henchmen.
- If Isle of the Dead is active, be careful. A group of undead is near a hidden spawn of enemies on the path the corsair runs.
