Go Hunting with Doug
Doug (#1) is most likely the first person you’ll meet in the camp, and before you even offer to help him, he’ll give you a map, to help you navigate around. He’ll also introduce you to the bandit’s camp and provide additional info on the situation in there. Doug also has something to say about the strange erected temples and about his hunt. Once you agree to help him, the quest starts.
The rotworm he’s talking about will provide enough meat for the boys and it’s found just to the west (#2) of him. Stay clear of its poisonous attack and keep the shield up to avoid the hits. Follow Doug and he’ll lead you to it. Once the best is dead, you’ll receive 150 experience. Talking to Doug about it gives additional 200 experience. He’ll also give you 30 gold pieces along with 5 raw meat, which you are to take to the Don’s wife in the camp, Rachel. This quest is then concluded.
If you wish to visit Luis to train some hunting skills, he’s over at #3. Be careful on the way, as there are various animals (mostly moths and stingrats, but you may meet bog bodies too which can prove to be difficult if you didn’t get used to the combat system).
A Bottle of Beer for the Drunkard
This quest is received once you mention beer to Luis (#3), and point out that he’s drunk. He’s kind of got a dry throat and requests a bottle of beer if he’s to teach you anything. He’ll also mumble something about the White Robes, the Inquisition and that the current leader in the camp is Brogar, while Don’s busy.
There’s beer to be found all over the camp. Search the houses, benches, crates. You might even have beer already in the inventory, so just offer him some and the quest is done with 100 experience. Luis is also a teacher for basic hunting skills, so you might wish to learn those as they might make a lot of money in the long run. You’ll also need tools to effectively take off animal skin, claws and other trophies. You can get these from Doug (#1), they are 100 gold each. Note that he’ll only be your teacher if you’ve already finished Go Hunting with Doug quest.
You can mention what Luis (#3) told you about Brogar (that he wants to replace the Don) to Rachel (#6), which nets you 25 experience.
Disgusting Insects
As you move to the area behind Doug, you’ll come across a wooden path which leads you to Ricardo, who guards the entrance to the camp. Once you meet Ricardo (#4), he won’t say much except that the insects at the excavation site (#5) nearby are troubling him as they are disgusting. He’s offering a small reward of 30 gold coins for anyone who wishes to take them out.
There are four “disgusting” insects in total. They are actually grave moths. Once you’ve killed them all, the quest will update and you’ll earn 250 experience. There’s a digsite on the very same island. Grab a shovel nearby and dig out a chest which contains a +1 to axe ring, along with gold necklace and a few other minor items. Get back to Ricardo for your small reward: 30 gold and 50 experience.
Meat for the Gang
This quest is received from Rachel (#6), even though Doug (#1) mentions it earlier. you’ll need to bring her 10 haunches of raw meat to help her out with feeding the camp.
Meat is found on the animals like wolves and stringrats. They are all over the island and you probably already have the required meat. Just hand it over to her and you’ll receive 200 experience and another 30 gold.
Rhobart Needs Weed
Rhobart (#7) is making beer out of the local plant called Bruggleweed. Common folk often mistake it for just “weed”. There’s plenty of that herb to be found around, especially on the plateau he’s on. After turning in 10 herbs, the quest is over with 50 experience and 70 gold.
Note that you can then turn every weed herb you find again for more gold and experience (7 gold, 5 experience each). Since they aren’t really used to make anything useful, just visit him every now and then to dump all the Bruggleweed and receive gold and experience.
Beer for the Gang
This quest is received from Rhobart (#7) once you agree to help him with his beer distribution. He’ll also want 50 gold pieces for the beer once you return. Take the beer to Rachel (#6), and you’ve got three options: give the beer without taking payment, convince her for a hundred or just take the standard 50. You’ll get 200 experience at this point.
Return to Rhobart and either give him 50 gold coins or say that Rachel didn’t pay you. If you give him the gold, he’ll have a favour to do for you, though it won’t really come into play. Another 100 experience and the quest is done.
Brogar’s Lackey
This quest is received when talking to Brogar (#8) for the first time. He’ll treat you as your superior and constantly insult you. After mentioning that he’s hungry, he’ll order you to bring him some meat from Rachel (#6).
Make sure not to give him your own fried meat as he’ll get pissed and attack you. That way the quest will fail. Therefore, just visit Rachel and get a haunch of meat. Return to Brogar and you’ll get 50 experience.
Lazy Dog
The next quest from Brogar (#8) requires of you to knock some sense into a bandit guard by the name of Clay. You can also start this quest from Phil (#9). Phil, the guard over at the farm on the plateau, is tired of standing around and fulfilling the shift of Clay as well. Therefore, he asks you to convince him to return to his post, instead of laying about lazily.
Phil can also teach you basic thieving skills: pickpockets and lockpicking. Lockpicking is fairly useful throughout the game, but pickpocketing not so much, as the rewards are minimal and there are very few quests where it is actually useful.
Clay is found at the campfire (#10), sleeping and doing nothing. Wake him up and nicely ask him to return to his post. He’ll refuse to do so, but you can either beat him or convince him with 20 gold (10 + 10). It’s a better option to beat him as you’ll get extra experience. Either way, you’ll get standard 200 experience from the quest and the only thing’s left to do is to tell Phil the news. You’ll get additional 25 gold and 25 experience.
