Important NPCs

 

Objectives

  1. Go to Delver's Row in the Gullet.
  2. Find drowner's lung medicine on Delver's Row.
  3. Give the drowner's lung medicine to Pitli in her home in the Gullet.

 

Walkthrough

  • Visit Pitli's Sanctuary, the priestess there is tending to sick Roparus. She wants you to find the medicine for drowner's lung.
  • First, you need to find how to get in Delver's Row, the black market of The Gullet. You can learn the information from Enoi or Fyrna in the tavern. Interact with the Narrow, turn right first, then go forward until you see a merchant stall, the entrance is behind a curtain. You need to pay a toll in order to get into the Delver's Row, or force the way in.
  • The Medicine you need can be purchased from Ernezzo (800 cp) in Delver's Row. If you don't want to pay him, you can kill the Spindle Man for him. But be careful, Spindle Man's guards can read your mind. Alternatively, you tell the plot to Spindle Man, he suggests you steal the medicine from Ernezzo.
  • You can also hire Rust to assassinate either Ernezzo (300 cp) or The Spindle Man (600 cp). Rust will take a day to get the job done.
  • Another alternative is to have a character with at least Perception (18-20) and have that character find the secret switch which opens the door to a secret room where you'll find the medicine. You will also automatically be able to find this switch at any Perception as a reward if you talk with Spindle Man and tell him that Ernezzo wanted you to kill him. See image below.

  • Once you have the medicine, return to Pitli, she will reward you a Halgot's Warmth (priest ring).
