'I called upon you because you helped us to defend Trestlebridge. You are an impartial outsider that we all trust. I do not know who is to blame here. All I know is that I have a dead guardsman in Trestlebridge and no one saw who murdered him. That is correct, Player. I am very certain it was murder.
'I would like you to investigate the murder and return with whomever is responsible. The longer this murder goes unsolved, the more distrust will be sown throughout the townsfolk of Trestlebridge.'1/1

'No sense hiding it now that I'm caught. Yes, I killed the guard. Got paid well for it too. Then I had to flee on my boat when you started to sniff around my hiding spot. I weren't prepared for those river rapids though! That there was my downfall.
'I should have never listened to that Orc and taken the job! What?! I don't know which Orc! We weren't chums! He didn't give me a name! Now leave me be! You already caused me enough hurt for one day!'1/1

'Thank you, Player, for clearing the names of all those who associate themselves with the Woodcutter's Brotherhood. We have you to thank for keeping the Trestlebridge townsfolk working together as we rebuild and improve our daily lives. Nellie Boskins was grateful to see the murderer brought to justice so swiftly.
'Now that you have returned, you should have a look at how the reconstruction efforts are coming along. Giles Chadwick and others have been working very hard to rebuild the town.'1/1

'I am worried still about what the brigand confessed to you. We now know that an Orc is commanding an organized effort to destroy Trestlebridge, both from outside and within. We must find this Orc soon, for the sake of everyone in the town. Until then, I hope that we are able to continue to thwart the enemy's plans.'1/1
