Background

A gang of thieves has been abducting the city’s automatons. Meister Mudgutter asked you to track down the thieves and put a stop to their illegal activities.

Walkthrough

You’ll receive this quest from Mudgutter in the Meisterhall during the quest Majority Rules.

Find the Gang of Thieves

Mudgutter will suggest that you look for the automaton thieves in the Crypts of the Sacred Blood. You’ll find evidence of the thieves a short ways into the crypts (#1).

Track Down the Master Thief

You’ll encounter Ehregott, the master thief, at the end of the crypts (#14).

Subdue Ehregott

Automatons and thieves will show up every so often to help Ehregott out, but as long as you keep dodging and using your area attacks, you should be able to wear them down and eventually defeat them. At the end of the battle, Ehregott will drop three “blue” items, and he’ll admit that he was hired by the Dapper Old Gent.

Return to Mudgutter

When you return to Mudgutter in the Meisterhall, you’ll receive 2810 xp and roughly 2900 coins, and Mudgutter will give you his vote for the quest Majority Rules.
