Quest 4: The Absent Guard

How to Start This Quest

You can start this quest after completing the miner escort quest (Q3). Stop by the Dragonhead guard tower during the day and talk to Rorick, The Captain of the Guard. He will ask you to “halt” as your passing by. He’ll explain that he has heard about how you rescued Samantha’s boy. He’ll then explain that if you’re not afraid of a little adventure then he has a job for you.

Going on, he’ll explain how he’s too short handed on guards to travel (just a little south) to the near by guard tower to check on another guard who was due back. He will ask you if you can go and check on the guard, and ask him to return if he is there. You will want to accept the job to advance the story further.

Woodland Guard Tower

You will want to follow the road east, and then south when you come to the cross roads to Iron Forge where the tower at the edge of dragonhead village is. Follow the road south past the old stone church and then at the next cross road head south west. You will approach a guard tower, when you get close, a small goblin attack group will spawn and attack the tower. The blasters will blow up the doors and guards should emerge from the tower to fight the goblins. You can help them disperse the goblins but the fight will largely be dominated by the guards. This fight won’t be particularly difficult (especially at normal difficulty settings). The point of this quest is to start to steer your character towards involvement in the larger back story and also start to get you familiar with the world outside the village.

After the fight is over, go and talk with Devon the guard (he will be dressed differently than standard guards). He will thank you for helping them fight and explain that the goblins have been attacking throughout the night. When you ask him to return to dragonhead village, he will explain he cannot with losing guards at this tower and to take information about the attack back to Rorick.

Return to Rorick

Head back to dragonhead village, and speak with Rorick, let him know of the attack on the tower. He will reward you and explain he must let the King know what is happening at once, prior to his departure, he will lead you into the next quest by asking you to go and speak with the gravedigger down near the church/cemetery area.
