Last update: 01 February 2017

16. Pirates and Elves

Obtained: In the Elven Forest, at the start.

When you reach the Elven Forest, you'll see a scene with the pirates and elves having an argument. Pirates will leave and you can chat with elven leader - Isaliel Wingstroke.

1) Resolve the dispute

You have to deal with the pirates now. Go to their camp (M12, 3) and talk to the guarding pirate - Mate Bravethorn (M12, 6). During the conversation you can choose one of the possibilities:

a) Suggested by Cuano - dialog option "Do mischief" - it gives you most experience points.

b) Suggested by Fayris - dialog option "Negotiations" - at the end you'll receive two unique items: Ama and Zelja'ama and possibility to receive additional 10 $ or 20 $.

Ama	Value: 29 $ Necklace Human nature +3
Zelja'ama	Value: 29 $ Necklace Perception +3 Only for Fayris.

c) Suggested by Forgrimm - dialog option "Attack". The least profitable. Elves won't like this solution and some of them will be afraid to talk to you.

2) Find the location of pirates' hideout

Isaliel Wingstroke (M12, 19) will tell you where pirates' hideout is located, after you complete the quest 17. Do mischief or 18. Negotiations. After completing the quest 20. Fight with the river pirates you'll discover pirates hideout by taking the map from the pirates' captain body.

17. Do mischief

4. Captain Hakensang

5. Flea

6. Spinning Jette

7. Shadow Fox

8. Conifer

9. Crow

10. Grinning Hanno

11. A chest from the sea

After you enter the camp (M12, 3) you will be accosted by Flea and the captain himself. Tell him that you want to be a mediator between the pirates and elves. Now it's time to talk to the crew and to build the most hostile atmosphere.

2) Steal the Shadow Fox's dagger

Talk to Road Runner. Using Human Nature and Fast Talk (or Intimidate), get information about Black Alma and overall discontent amongst the crew members. Then ask about Shadow Fox. You'll learn that Black Alma steals from the pirates and Shadow Fox possesses very valuable dagger.

Try to steal it. If you don't succeed, Shadow Fox will put the dagger into a chest from the sea. It is enough just to open it in order to get the dagger.

3) Slip Alma the dagger

Talk to Alma and sell her the dagger for 1 $ or with Haggle - for 2 $.

4) Dispose Grinning Hanno against deckhand

Persuade Conifer using Fast Talk or pay him 0,2 $ to bet who will hit the boy first: Crow or Grinning Hanno. The bet is 0,5 $.

Next go to Hanno and tell him that he should give the boy a lesson. He'll agree with you and will go to hit him. You can return to Conifer and collect your reward - 1 $.

5) Make the boy to make a joke to someone

Persuade the boy to make a joke to Crow. He'll agree and will go to the camp-fire to add something disgusting to the meal. After a while Crow appears and tastes such food.

6) Persuade the first officer to rebellion

Go outside the camp and talk to Mate Bravethorn (M12, 6) again. Try to convince him to start the rebellion and replace the captain.

7) Tell Crow the secret

Talk to Spinning Jette. You'll learn that Crow is a gossip girl. Go to Black Alma and using Seduce (for men) or Fast Talk convince her to tell you the secret. Alma will tell you about her illness and you can go and tell it Crow.

8) Get a key from Spinning Jette

Go outside the camp and talk to Mate Bravethorn (M12, 6) again. Tell him that the crew is against captain and that alcohol would make these emotions stronger. Mate will ask you to get a key to Spinning Jette's supplies. You can steal it or convince her to give it to you.

9) Give Bravethorn the key

Return to Mate Bravethorn (M12, 6) and give him the key. You'll see the cut-scene with arguing pirates are leaving the Elven Forest.

18. Negotiations

Obtained: During the quest 16. Pirates and Elves, if you decide to listen to Fayris.

After you enter the camp you will be accosted by Flea and the captain himself. Tell him that you want to be a mediator between the pirates and elves.

1) Offer elves your help with negotiations

Go to the elven tree (M12, 2) and tell Isaliel Wingstroke that you have to negotiate with the pirates on behalf of elves. She'll tell you that you have to know their culture first.

2) Earn trust of Elves

Talk to Linwen Owlflight (M12, 21) and ask him to tell you about the tribe. He'll order you with the task - discover what are the guardian spirits of his three kinsmen (see the quest 19. Elven supporter).

3) Mediation between the pirates and elves

This point is available after completing 19. Elven supporter.

Go to the pirates camp (M12, 3) and talk to the captain. You'll learn that if they receive some special canvas from the elves, they will sail away. You can tell the captain that you want some reward for your mediations. After you provide them with the canvas, you'll get some money from him.

4) Get the elven canvas

Return to elves and tell Isaliel Wingstroke (M12, 19) what the pirates want.

The canvas lies on the ground, next to the workshop.	Before giving captain the canvas, you may want to increase your Haggle talent to get additional 10 $.

She will agree for pirates' demand and will tell you that the canvas can be found near Lellindor (M12, 23). Collect it and go to the pirates.

5) Get the canvas to the pirates

Give the canvas to the captain. If you've told him earlier that you want some extra money for mediation, he will propose you 10 $. If your Haggle is high enough, you can raise this to 20 $. After the transaction is over, the pirates will sail away.
