The Bandit's Word

Sir Liam needs your help once more, this time he is decided to lock the bandits at the tower in order to make sure they quit thieving. Maybe you can come up with a better solution and finally bring some peace to Knight's Keep?

Halt! What is your business here?

Remember those bandits?
I'm here to defend the King's Castle!

Ah yes, the bandits. I shall have to find them and keep them under lock and key here at the tower.

But Durc said he was going to quit thieving.

You cannot trust the word of a crook, my gentle friend. Durc may say that now, but he will return to his greedy ways soon enough. No, it is better to keep them all safely locked away.

Wait, wait! What if I make him swear on his honour?
Okay, lock them up. I don't care.

Hmm...a Petpet's word of honour is very important to me...but do thieves have honour? I suppose I must give them a chance. Mercy is still a noble trait. Go and ask Durc to give you his word of honour. If he promises to stop thieving, I will promise to stop chasing him.

I'll talk to Durc right away!

He may be assured of my word. Here is a plume from an old helmet of mine to prove it. Good luck!



Thanks!

Now, go inside the Wiling Tunnels and head over to the Lair of the Bandits (Wailing Tunnels chamber 3). Once there, click on Durc:

You! Why are there so many Petpets roaming the tunnels these days? What do you want?

More word from Sir Liam!
I just wanted to say hi!

What do you want now?

Sir Liam wants you to promise you'll stop thieving.

Ha! While I do plan to quit the thief life for now, why should I have to give my word of honour to that old knight?

Because otherwise, he'll lock you up.

Uhh...right. Ahem. Alright then. Sir Liam has the word of Durc, Bandit Leader, that he will not thieve again. For the time being. To prove my word, here is my bandit mask.



Thanks! Here is Liam's old plume as a pledge.

To finish the job, go back to Knight's Keeps and give Durc's mask to Sir Liam:

Hallo, my young knight-in-training! How goes your mission of mercy?

Durc gave his word. Look, here's his mask!

Well...I suppose there is honour amongst thieves. I shall let them be...for the time being.
Oh, look at me! I must be getting soft in my old age.

You said mercy was a noble trait.

So I did, so I did! You have proven your worth to me once again. Please accept this reward with my thanks. I hope you continue to follow the path of a noble and merciful knight.



I'll try. Thanks!
