This article will detail all known information and steps to proceed with the investigation. Players who wish to uncover things on their own should stop reading this page. Instead head to Lord British's Castle in Trammel and seek out Jasper the Inspector.

Initial Investigation

Upon arriving at the castle you find Jasper the Inspector organizing the investigation. He requests your assistance. Go into the grand meeting hall and survey the scene. Locate Lord Francesco's body at the head of the table. Use the Forensic Evaluation skill on it to discover a paper. Double-click his corpse to retrieve it. Bring it to Jasper and have him look at it. He tells you to bring it to Olivia the Alchemist at the Illusionist's Guild on Verity Isle (Moonglow).

Once you find Olivia she will tell you that ingredients are needed to make the parchment readable. A Speckled Poison Sac from a Speckled Scorpion and Zoogi Fungus from a Solen. Bring them to her and she will clean up the blood. Handing you back a soggy parchment, she will tell you to bring it to Althara the Scribe in the Lycaeum on the other side of Moonglow.

Althara will take the parchment and hand you back a book with the decoded information. It is a message from Lady Aileen telling Francesco to meet at her Trinsic house. The house is located in the Southwest corner of the city, East from the smaller bank. Inside are a note and journal. Aileen tells of her upcoming meeting with Anselm the Paladin. You need to go to him on the other side of Trinsic in the mess hall. Head East from Aileen's residence and then North at the Keg and Anchor Tavern.

Anselm reveal the location of Brian's Headquarters, the place where the FOA are staging their operations. It is a small farmhouse in the outer Britain area.

FOA Team

At the farmhouse you find a journal (foolishly) detailing the location of hidden documents. They are in Britain Graveyard. After digging them up a journal by Avery reveals you was about to investigate the Britain Sewers. With no other leads to go on, you head down to see what is there.
