The Workers Are to Work Again

This quest starts by talking to Hawkins who’s sitting in front of the hut at #1. He’ll explain the miserable situation that he and his workers are in. Apparently, Brogar doesn’t provide protection for him and his boys and they are constantly ravaged by wild beasts and rotworms while trying to ferry the crates around the digsites. Therefore, you can offer to help him and get his workers back to job.

The workers you’re looking for are Branon (#2), Enrico (#3) and Dwight (#4). Each of them have their own mini-quest related to this one – Get Branon to Go Back to Digging, Protection Against the Ghost of the Ancestor and Dwight Is to Get Back to Work, respectively.

Once those quests are done, you’ll receive 25 experience and 5 gold for every report. The last report (that they are all back) will give extra 200 experience and the quest is completed. You can also buy some worker clothes from Hawkins for 500 gold, though they aren’t really useful (the overalls give 10 protection to blade, blunt and piercing damage). You can tell Rachel (#5) that workers are back to work and you’ll receive 20 gold and 25 experience extra.

Get Branon to Go Back to Digging

This quest is interlaced with the quest Branon Needs Help. You’ll need to defeat the grave moths/disgusting insects that inhabit the small island nearby (#6) and then report back to Branon (#2). They are most likely dead already as they are objective of an another quest quest called Disgusting Insects. He’ll then return to digging, which earns you 125 experience points.

Branon Needs Help

While doing the quest The Workers Are to Work Again, you’ll have to find Branon and get him back to work. To reach him on his ledge (#2), go towards the arena and continue on the path leading upwards. Follow that path all the way and you’ll find Branon and sitting around the campfire.

Talking to him reveals that he’d like to work, but he’s scared of all the beasts that roam the area. You’ll learn that Ricardo (#6) is the one responsible for this mess. Talk to him and you’ll have to defeat the insects over at #7. These are the same for the quest Disgusting Insects. Then tell Ricardo that he should protect Branon. Weirdly enough, Ricardo tells you that he’s not gonna do anything about it and you’ll receive 150 experience for hearing that.

Return to Branon and you’ll receive 25 experience from telling him that he’s unprotected. You can also tell Brogar (#8) that Ricardo isn’t at his post, which will give you extra 25 experience.

Protection Against the Ghost of the Ancestors

Enrico (#3) will express his fear for the ghosts that are haunting the excavation sites and requires your help. You’re to bring him a supposedly magical item that will protect him if you want him to work again for Hawkins. After a lengthy conversation, go to the chest located at #6 and loot the amulet. You might have already done this on your previous visits of that particular site.

Even though amulet is utterly useless, you can still give it to Enrico and sell him a convincing story. He’ll get back to work and the quest is completed with 100 experience.

Dwight Is to Get Back to Work

You’ll find Dwight over at #4. He’s stopped working and refuses to shift crates for Beppo anymore. You’ll need to convince him to get back to work for The Workers Are to Work Again. Once you order him to get back to work, he’ll question your authority and ignore you afterwards.

Get back to Hawkins (#1) and discuss the situation with him. He’ll suggest teaching Dwight a lesson, which sounds like a fine idea. Once you tell that to Dwight, he’ll go back to work and the quest is concluded with 200 experience.

Artefact Delivery

To start this quest, visit Beppo who’s managing the crates traffic at #9. He requires more manpower to move the crates and asks you to force Dwight back to work. Dealing with Dwight (#4) is explained in the previous quest, Dwight Is to Get Back to Work. Getting him back to work will prod the other workers to work as well.

Get back to Beppo and tell him that the problem is resolved. This nets you 150 experience, 20 gold and the quest is complete. You can report your success to Rachel (#5) as well which earns you 20 gold and 25 extra experience.

Scurrying Rats

This quest is received while you’re trying to convince Luis (#10) to go hunt again for the quest The Hunters are to Hunt Again, which you have probably already got by speaking to Sam near Ricardo (#7). After a bit of nagging, he’ll agree to go back to hunting if you kill the stringrats nearby. He even has a reward of 30 gold coins.

Rats are found nearby, to the south (#11). As you defeat them all, you’ll earn 200 experience. Talk to Luis to get your final reward of 25 gold (he miscalculated in his drunk state) and 50 experience. Also, he’s back hunting again.

Gone with the Gold

After completing Lazy Dog, you can start this quest from Brogar (#8). You’ll learn that one of his boys, Dorgan is missing somewhere in the swamp. If you wish, you can visit Luis at #10 and ask him about Dorgan for a bottle of beer.

Dorgan is dead in the cave whose entrance is located at #12. Defeat several moths and you’ll stumble upon his body. Loot it to find a list with a lot of names on it. It’s the list of people that Brogar needs to collect protection money from. Another quest deals with that, called Dorgan’s List.

Before telling Brogar what you found, visit Rachel (#4) first and show her the list for 50 experience. You can report to Brogar that you found Dorgan and the quest ends with 50 more experience.

Dorgan’s List

This mini-quest is automatically completed once you give the list you found on Dorgan’s corpse to Brogar (#8). The list itself contains names of the people who still didn’t pay Brogar protection money. Before giving it to him though, show it to Rachel (#5) first for 50 extra experience. Rachel will also say that you should work undercover for her and expose Brogar for his dirty deeds. The quest ends with 100 experience.
