Quest part 2 to become Heckles hero

New page

'''Scandal at Castle Blackthorn''' is the starting quest in the quest chain which ends with the [[Heckles Hero]] quest. It shows up in your quest log as "'''A Visit to Castle Blackthorn'''".

Visit the [[Town Cryer]] and start it via the menu. He will inform you that
"It seems that Castle Blackthorn has some secrets that are worth investigating. Your history on how Blackthorn even became king is a little fuzzy. You decide a visit to Castle Blackthorn would be worthwhile"

So it seems to be a good idea to visit [[Castle Blackthorn]]. While you cross the bridge, you will find that a Jester who is in the court yard may be a good source of history about the Castle.

You follow him to the Bar in the west part of the Castle. Just talk to him..
''*hic* Are ye here with the wine delivery from the Abbey? No? Silly me to think you could lift a crate of wine with the strength of a lapwing! Haha! What do you want then, I'm very busy you know - many suitors and lots of wine to test. Oh, you want to know about the dungeon and His Majesty? Do I look like the Royal Archivist? Fine fine... look - the archivist gave me some volumes to store away but I dunno. I lost them. If you can find them I'll let you in on a little secret about the dungeon that'll make it worth your while! I wrote down what I can remember about where they are in this book here. Good luck. Or not. *hic*''
