Background

Gallo Frantric will give you this quest at the Jagged Blade tavern (#1).

Walkthrough

Gallo will ask you to look for a parcel that he lost somewhere on the road to Ferdok, and he’ll offer you 4 thalers for it. If you press Gallo for details, then he’ll first lie and claim that the parcel contains pipe tobacco, but then he’ll finally come around and admit that it contains candied kosh bunting tongues, a much sought-after delicacy in the area.

Note: If you pickpocket Gallo, then you’ll find a Phex Be with You note in his inventory, and it will give you some clues about how valuable the tongues are. For example: “Whatever you do, don’t sell them for anything less than 10 ducats.”

You’ll find the Parcel of Candied Kosh Bunting Tongues on the ground near where Brewin Rattlestone has his cart (#2). Picking up the parcel will earn you 10 experience points, but when you bring it to Gallo, he’ll try to short-change you. If you keep negotiating with him, then he’ll eventually increase his offer to 1 ducat, but you should decline it. Various merchants in the campaign will offer you more money for the parcel, and if you hang onto it for long enough, then you’ll eventually receive 50 ducats for it.

Here is a list of the merchants who will offer you money for the parcel:

• Bredo Bento, Avestrue, 1 ducat
• Horasisian Merchant Floris, Ferdok (Ducal Citadel), 5 ducats
• Bredo Bento, Moorbridge Marshes, 5 ducats
• Cook, Blood Mountains (Darkforest Manor), 10 ducats
• Nobleman, Tallon, 20 ducats
• Treasurer Otosh, Murolosh, 50 ducats

That is, the longer you wait to sell the parcel, the more you’ll get for it, and so you’ll have to decide if you want less money now, or more money later. Regardless of where you sell the parcel, or if you decide to eat the contents yourself, you’ll gain 15 experience points at the end of the quest.
