Investigate Whats Going On
While in Purnisc’s house, go up and to the left to encounter a mercenary by the stairwell. He’ll block your path and tell you that no one is allowed upstairs. You can…
- Intimidate him if you have a Resolve of 14 or higher.
- Bribe him for 100 cp, which he will take.
- Or, try to walk past him anyways. This will alert all the other mercenaries and a fight will ensue.
Whatever path you choose, you’ll want to head up the stairs and fight the four mercenaries in the bedroom. When you loot them, you’ll find a bronze key. Go to the door to the bottom right of the bedroom and unlock it with the key. In here you’ll find the real Purnisc, who is bloodied and battered, but still alive. Talk to him and you’ll learn that Purnisc was a Svef dealer and held back some money to his supplier. The supplier sent the wizard, Nyrid to get the rest of the money and beat up Purnisc. Purnisc tells you he would be grateful if you killed Nyrid and the rest of the mercenaries.
