Event [edit]

Walkthrough [edit]

Note, this is to consummate the example with no suspicion, just it is not required to exercise it this manner to complete it.

Later reading your mail service, head to Balthazar Low Road in Divinity's Reach to start the instance. Listen to Kasmeer then caput towards the green star and speak to the Herald to exist introduced to the political party and meet Countess Anise.

Y'all then need to find the person who has been spreading rumors about Queen Jennah without raising suspicion too much. Accusing the wrong person, or accusing them without enough proof will raise suspicion.

At that place are three party guests y'all need to talk to, each marked on the map with a green circle which will change to a green star overhead once you take come up close enough to trigger their starting time line of dialogue. If you choice the wrong questions, you will heighten suspicion and get no information; on the other paw, if you lot pick the right ane, Kasmeer will annotate on it, and the quest will accelerate. Note that information technology is possible to option the incorrect options several times, raising the suspicion level each fourth dimension (see achievements below).

Moving from west to east the three guests are:

• About Minister Estelle, a male noble will say "What? Minister Estelle is being pressured by Minister Merula to retire? She would never! She'south far likewise ambitious."
  • Speak to him and cull "Look. I wanted to ask you lot something"
  • and so "Is that why Minister Estelle wants to retire? A lack of excitement?" before the timer runs out.
• A nobleman with a feathered hat on the path to the food tables says "But I thought for certain it was Minister Wi who attended courtroom the twenty-four hour period Scarlet was there. Are yous sure?".
  • Speak to him and choose "I was expecting to see Minister Wi's wife here today."
  • and then the second option "(express mirth) If you've seen one minister, y'all've seen them all."
• A noblewoman to the right of Government minister Wi says "I wish Anise hadn't invited the ministers. They make me so uncomfortable! Especially Minister- excuse me! Are you lot eavesdropping?" as you approach.
  • You'll have to talk to her until Kasmeer asks you to try over again (at beginning you demand to ask if she'southward enjoying the party, later that there is only 1 option at a time),
  • then pick "I wouldn't remember anyone could ignore such a cute night as this"
  • and so "I hear 1 minister is spreading rumours about the queen".

Once you have gathered all the data talk to Kasmeer, then to Minister Arton, who is continuing well-nigh Countess Anise at the center of the party and is marked with a light-green star once this step starts. Later on that conversation, you'll need to find evidence against the culprit: Minister Estelle. Again, y'all'll demand to talk to three people, each of whom is marked past a light-green circle on the map which changes to a star once y'all go shut to them:

• Lady Claire. Her dialogue will start later speaking to Government minister Arton, standing abreast her.
  • Cull "That'south just a bad rumor, a lie"
  • then "This doesn't add up."
• A noble standing near Countess Anise.
  • Choose "That may exist complicated."
  • then "You don't think she met with Ruby?"
• A servant standing nearly Minister Estelle.
  • You demand to choose "I've had some experience with ministers. Not all are bad"
  • so "Do you similar your jobs?".

• In one case yous've spoken to all three talk to Kasmeer (who volition remind you of the information you've obtained), then speak to Minister Estelle.
  • First option "I know all nearly you."
  • and so "I have a question. Is information technology true that you piece of work closely with Minister Caudecus?"
  • then "Tell me more." several times, until the option to say "Kasmeer, what practice you retrieve?" appears.
  • Choose "Tell me more." (second selection) twice more, until the selection "Shy, huh?" (first pick) appears.
• Speak to Minister Estelle again. Be aware that this conversation has a fourth dimension limit, you demand to pick the correct selection before the timer runs out.
  • Start with "Did you hear what the queen discussed with Crimson?".
  • As before choose "Tell me more." until "Kasmeer, what practise yous think?" appears.
  • And so choose "Tell me more." until you tin say "I heard the queen was escorted out for her safety."
• Speak to Minister Estelle again.
  • Start with "You're sticking by the claim that they arranged this in the throne room?"
  • then click "Tell me more" until the choice "Minister Estelle tin you repeat that?" appears. Do not ask Kasmeer for her opinion, instead ask Minister Estelle to repeat herself (first option).
  • Continue clicking "Tell me more." until the option "You told your accomplice to say it was a black greatcoat." appears, then cull that option.

Follow Kasmeer, speak to her and and then head towards the greenish star on the map to speak to Countess Anise. Every bit you lot get close the star will disappear and a green circle will appear. Walk into it to reveal the REAL Countess Anise. Listen to the dialogue between her and Kasmeer then return to Minister Estelle. This time there volition be only one dialogue choice at a time. Listen to Kasmeer and Anise then speak to Anise to complete the instance.

Dialogue [edit]

Kasmeer Ministry Treachery Love <character name>, I promise this finds yous well. I'one thousand afraid my efforts to get the queen to the pinnacle haven't gone as smoothly equally expected. The queen has had a state of affairs arise that may forbid her from attending. I'll give you the full details when you arrive, simply the short version is that someone is spreading rumors that Queen Jennah non only met with evil Cherry-red prior to the Queen'due south Jubilee celebration, but too conspired to give Cerise the mechanical watchknights. This is, of course, ridiculous. Simply the queen can't leave Divinity's Attain until those rumors are squelched. Countess Anise has suggested that I utilise my intuitive ability to find the cad spreading the rumors and discredit them. But, I don't want to do this alone. Will you come up assist me? Your friend, —Kasmeer

When entering the instance.

Kasmeer Meade: Allow me catch you upward on what's happening.

Kasmeer Meade: Queen Jennah can't attend the height because someone has accused her of conspiring with Scarlet. The hearing is the aforementioned day.

Kasmeer Meade: Someone's lying, and we have to effigy out who.

Kasmeer Meade: Soon equally nosotros know, we can confront that person and get them to recant their argument.

Kasmeer Meade: We need to talk to everyone, notice clues to the truth, and build evidence to defend the queen. Once we find who among them is the mastermind, we'll have action.

Kasmeer Meade: But exist careful. The people are suspicious and sensitive. Say something also blunt or off-putting, and they'll clam up.

Kasmeer Meade: If we're apparently undermining their plans, they'll take us escorted out of the party, and it will all have been for nothing.

Talking to Kasmeer

They'll introduce u.s. at the steps.

All right. Let's become.

When approaching the Herald.

Herald: Ahem. Introducing a hero who needs no introduction, the Commander of the Pact.

Herald: And accompanying, the La—ah, ahem, yep, Kasmeer Meade.

Kasmeer Meade: (exhale) Proceed it together, Kas. You can get through this. Exist confident, similar Jory.

Countess Anise: Kasmeer! Come over here. Don't await then glum.

Countess Anise: Hullo, honey Kasmeer. Don't worry your little confront over what the herald's papers say. You'll always be noble in my eyes.

Kasmeer Meade: Countess Anise. That's direct...and kind of you to say. I'g afraid I don't feel particularly noble.

Countess Anise: And so we must practice something almost that! Nobility isn't in the claret, equally so many believe. It's in your choices.

Countess Anise: Your return to grace is only a pardon away. If your talent for detecting lies is all you say it is...

Countess Anise: Well, let'southward just say I'g confident we can convince the queen your value overrides your father's misfortune.

Kasmeer Meade: I only hope to be of some small service, Countess.

Kasmeer Meade: Oh dear. Okay. Let'south start picking apart everything they say. One of these ministers is spreading lies about the queen.

Canach: Don't misunderstand, Countess—I'm certainly grateful to y'all for purchasing my billet and putting me to piece of work.

Canach: I'one thousand only not sure I understand the reasoning backside dragging me to this soiree of yours.

Countess Anise: Mm?

Canach: (sigh)

Talking to Kasmeer.

I recall you should take the pb, and I'll shadow yous. People will exist far more likely to talk to you lot than me. We tin touch base of operations occasionally, and I'll tell you what I've observed.

Remind me what we're doing here, delight.

Welcome to the politics of Divinity's Achieve. I'm sorry to elevate y'all into this, just I will be more successful with you at my side. I'm still something of a pariah in noble order hither.

You said something about a rumor?

Yes, it's ridiculous. Someone's saying they witnessed the queen run across privately with Scarlet late at night. Under a span of all things.

Do they have proof?

They don't need it. They say they overheard Queen Jennah offer back up for Crimson'southward research and the blueprints to the Watchknights.

All they accept to do is injure her reputation and sow uncertainty.

Aye. It undermines her leadership. She can't get out until this is settled.

Why not?

The ministers behind it will take advantage of her absence to turn people against her. They're e'er trying to take ability from her. She has to be constantly vigilant.

So, if we find the person spreading the rumors, nosotros defuse the state of affairs?

We accept to do more than detect the person. We accept to discredit them.

How do we practise that?

The old-fashioned-way: eavesdropping and rumor-mongering. We'll assemble information at the party then sort through it for the bits that atomic number 82 to the culprit. You lot mingle, and I'll spotter for liars.

You'll watch for liars?

My ability seems to be getting stronger. I don't know what it is, just I tin can sometimes tell if a person is lying. Especially if they're not very good at lying or if the lie is especially flagrant.

Stay shut then. Permit's go.

Count on me.

Talking to Countess Anise.

Enjoy the party. Please experience free to mingle and introduce yourself. Alibi me, I...

I meet you lot're busy. Nosotros'll talk later.

Talking to Canach.

Careful there. You don't want to be seen getting too friendly with the staff.

Why are yous here?

I'1000 on the task. Bodyguard for a countess. A somewhat more glamorous position than my final, I must say.

Y'all mean your position every bit...prisoner?

Aye, and cheers for stating the obvious, painful truth. Technically, I'm nevertheless a prisoner. It's but now my confined are lined with velvet. Don't let that fool yous though. I'm definitely not free.

The countess owns y'all now?

That's harsh. I wouldn't say that. More than like I'm on loan to her from the prison. And so long as I'g a good grunt, she'll keep me with her and I don't have to go dorsum in the jail cell.

You planning on behaving yourself?

Admittedly. I'chiliad no fool. I could be in a much worse situation than this. I guess you lot could say I learned my lesson. I know I accept a reputation for acting rashly, merely those days are behind me.

Pardon me if I don't entirely believe you.

No pardon necessary. You're in a crowd of many watching me like hawks. So far, Countess Anise has treated me with respect. I take no reason to betray her trust. Besides, she amuses me mightily.

I'll exist at the front of the hunting political party if you mess this upwards.

I would expect no less, though I do believe yous might have a hard fourth dimension catching me again. No offense intended.

Just watch yourself.

Talking to Minister Arton.

Every bit I was telling my sometime friend Caudecus the other solar day, nosotros actually must do something about these bandits. They are a hazard. I have reason to believe they're connected to the White Drape.

You tin't distract me from seeing you're the ane lying about the queen. *

(laugh) You're as blunt as they say. We should share a canteen quondam. Unfortunately, in this case, yous're wrong. My servants volition vouch that I was habitation all evening the night of the bridge meeting.

Well, I will be speaking to your servant to verify your statement. *

Do that. But since y'all'd take my servants' words over my own, I have null more to say to you lot.

Very well. I'll exist off then.

Obviously, I must continue my investigation elsewhere.

But the White Drape take been gone for ages.

They're certainly no longer the strength they were a couple hundred years ago, but I've seen their symbol in unexpected places. I believe they run the blackness market effectually here.

That'due south an interesting theory.

Excuse me, I must mingle.

Approaching Lord Faren

Noble: Oh, no. Avert anything remotely equestrian. You don't want your guests to enter your vestibule and call back the balusters are centaurs.

Talking to Lord Faren

Well, you fancy upwardly nicely when you knock the dirt off your boots. Although, the tough-adventurer wait suits you. Listen, beware the ministers. They're on the prowl.

Why can't the ministers and the nobles get along?

Humans. What can I say? We're an inscrutable race. Turn half the world against united states of america, and nosotros still detect ways to contend among ourselves. Frankly, I call back it'due south boredom that makes united states practise it.

Where do you fit in?

Me? Oh, I'thousand just here for the delicious desserts and ladies. I'm eyeing a few of both, only I can't quite decide which I'm hungry for.

Choose wisely. Besides much of either can give yous a bellyache.

Truer words were never spoken. Have a adept fourth dimension at the political party.

I will. Give thanks you.

Talking to Minister Merula

Exercise you remember Faren would date a minister? Just maxim information technology sounds scandalous, merely I love a good scandal. How romantic it would be!

Aha! You're the one spreading lies about Queen Jennah! *

How dare you accuse me of such a distasteful crime! Tin can you even support your accusation, or are you just blowing hot air in the Ministry's face?

Oops, I must be mistaken. Merely trying to help the queen out, y'know? ^

Well...I suppose you lot were just doing your function. Merely recollect before yous blubber next time!

Will do.

But y'all like scandals! *

If you keep this up, I'll brand sure you're at the center of one!

Okay, I'm leaving.

I, um...good-bye.

You're a fan of Faren, huh?

Oh, yes! I know all his favorite restaurants, venues, and shops. I even accept the coveted Faren wall calendar of 1324 AE!

Scandalous, indeed.

I don't understand you people.

Talking to Minister Nitalie

I hate parties. Sadly, public appearances are function of a minister's job.

I bet you lot would rather be at domicile plotting against the queen! *

(coughing) What's this nonsense you lot're spewing? Oh, you've made me spill wine on my shirt. It'due south a Zommoros original! I'll have you arrested for this.

Never heed. You're more worried almost your clothes than your reputation. ^

Guar_ Gaurds... Gaww... (sob) Go away!

All correct. Good-bye.

What? No! It looks then much improve this way. *

No, information technology doesn't! It looks like a big, ugly wine stain! (sob) Oh no, now my mascara'due south dripping onto it, too. Guards!

Uh-oh.

I'd better get.

They have their merits—the food, for example.

And the punch. Have yous tried it? Hmm, you're the offset decent person I've met here. Say, if you're not busy later...

Nope! I'm, uh, busy mingling. With others. All dark. 'Adieu.

Merely smile and nod. Works wonders.

Approaching the group of three nobles near Minister Merula.

Noble: Stop correct there. I don't intendance nigh your dog'southward new haircut.

Talking to that nobleman.

(gasp) Vi in a higher place! Such manner, such class! I but must know who does your hair.

I self-groom. (if charr)

I just get a lot of dominicus. (otherwise)

Really? I must look into this right away. Come fall, I wouldn't be surprised if Divinity's Reach citizens were all flaunting your style!

That would be...interesting.

Myself.

Really? I must expect into this right away. Come fall, I wouldn't be surprised if Divinity's Attain citizens were all flaunting your fashion!

That would be...interesting.

I was built-in this way.

Approaching a couple of nobles.

Noble: This shrimp bisque is fantastic! I need some other basin.

Talking to Minister Estelle

You're a decorated bee. Does that brand you charming, or does it make you nosy?

Definitely nosy. They say you were in court the aforementioned day Cherry-red was.

It'southward a thing of public record who receives an audience with the queen and when. There were several people there that day.

What did Scarlet desire?

She was soft spoken. I doubt anyone heard her but the queen and Countess Anise. It was every bit if they were conspiring.

Did yous see Minister Arton at that place?

I believe so. I spent most of the fourth dimension behind my handkerchief. The goat—or possibly it was the farmer—smelled so badly information technology made my eyes h2o.

I run into.

Charming, I promise. Did you know I dealt the killing accident to Scarlet?

No! That was you? I saw her in one case, in the throne room. She was having a serenity talk with the queen.

Lucky you.

But why is someone of your caliber walking around the political party with Kasmeer Meade? Her family is a bunch of criminals and gamblers!

You should perhaps keep your thoughts to yourself.

I believe you lot should mingle and so others can relish in your glory.

Great thought.

She's my friend. Bear witness her respect, or I'll teach you some.

I believe you should mingle and then others can enjoy in your celebrity.

Cracking thought.

You're an idiot.

I believe y'all should mingle so others tin savor in your celebrity.

Keen idea.

That's for me to know and you lot to detect out.

Approaching the nobles to the correct of Minister Estelle

Noble: I encounter Government minister Estelle has political ambitions. She's been having a lot of individual meetings with Minister Caudecus.

Approaching the nobles to the left of Minister Estelle

Noble: What? Government minister Estelle is being pressured by Government minister Merula to retire? She would never! She'southward far too ambitious.

Talking to the latter nobleman.

I'1000 going to get more punch. It's so fruity!

Look. I wanted to ask you something.

Merely if you make it quick! I'k and then excited!

I'd think that spreading rumors nearly the queen would prove very exciting. *

If I may, I suggest you lot reconsider maxim such things at a party.

Perhaps y'all're right.

Two-faced liar... I doubtfulness you lot truly capeesh the hospitality. *

My goodness! That'south rather rude. I've suddenly lost my taste for food or drink.

I believe I should mingle. Enjoy the political party.

Is that why Minister Estelle wants to retire? A lack of excitement?

Undoubtedly. She likes to be in the thick of things, but Caudecus has had her doing clerical work lately. She meets with him regularly, from what I've heard. He'll talk her out of retiring, I'm sure.

Undoubtedly. Enjoy the political party.

The queen throws a skillful political party.

Oh, this isn't the queen's work. This is all Countess Anise. She is amazing. She can charm cream straight out of a cow. She's a mesmer, after all.

Excellent point.

Just passing by. You should as well endeavor the shrimp.

Afterwards selecting the tertiary question.

Kasmeer Meade: I've never met Minister Estelle. If she's been meeting with Caudecus, she may know something.

When walking near Canach and Anise.

Canach: Am I to intimidate these ministers and aristocrats, to put them off baby-sit?

Canach: Surely you lot can't imagine that these dandies pose some kind of threat to you.

Countess Anise: Hm?

Canach: Are you even paying attention or practice you lot just not care? Either way, yous are a maddening woman.

Approaching the nobleman with a feathered hat at the lesser of the stairs virtually Minister Wi.

Noble: But I thought for certain it was Minister Wi who attended the court the day Scarlet was there. Are y'all sure?

Talking to him.

I accept a vague recollection of that crazy sylvari walking in to her audition with the queen. This was well before the attack on the urban center, by the way. I however don't know why I noticed her.

I was expecting to see Government minister Wi'southward wife here today.

Lady Wi? She gets the vapors. Fragile constitution. Poor dear tin can't keep upwards with her husband. Patently neither tin I. I thought he was in court the solar day Blood-red had an audience with the queen.

Were Yous attending the court that day?

No. I was in the foyer. I saw them enter. They weren't many in attendance that twenty-four hours. I remember seeing a farmer with a complaint confronting his neighbor. He'd brought his goat along.

Interesting. What about...

Bye to you.

(laugh) If y'all've seen ane minister, you've seen them all.

(laugh) It's the dour look on their face. Just seriously, it is rather hard to confuse Government minister Wi with Government minister Estelle or even Minister Arton. My memory just isn't what it used to exist.

Which one did you confuse with Minister Wi? (express mirth)

I saw Estelle enter the throne room, forth with the caprine animal farmer, Minister Arton, and a sylvari. That wretch turned out to be Ruby-red, she did.

Dainty talking to you.

If he was, and then he'south probably involved in these nasty lies well-nigh the queen.

I happen to like Minister Wi. I don't recollect you lot should disparage his reputation like that.

Interesting. What most...

I meant no criminal offence.

Yeah. Sooo. Practise you similar gardening?

Gardening! What a lovely pastime. The wife and I indulge ourselves with a petty gardening from time to time, particularly in our rose garden—

If you like gardens, you should see the Beetlestone gardens.

Oh, I have. My married woman—she'south a minister—and I were just out there concluding calendar week for a small garden party. An intimate affair, it was only us, Estelle, Arton, and Lord Caudecus. Lovely evening.

What did you discuss?

The usual political gossip. Casual, you know. Estelle had a moment of private discussion with Lord Caudecus, though he did virtually of the talking, and she did quite a lot of nodding.

That's nice.

Adept day.

Later selecting the 2nd question.

Kasmeer Meade: I think hearing, afterward, that Scarlet approached the queen. No one paid any attending back and then. Red was a nobody until the Queen's Jubilee.

Approaching a group of nobles at the bottom of the stairs near Minister Wi.

Noble: Ooh, wherever did you get that charming brooch, dear?

Approaching Minister Wi.

Noble: And so he asked me which pair I wanted! To advise I couldn't afford both—why, I should have slapped him on the spot!

Talking to her.

How Lady Anise persuaded Chauncey to grace her party, I'll never know! She's more resourceful than I thought. This is truly the classiest occasion I've attended since Lady Wi's clambake.

Um, clambake?

Oh, mercy me, how confusing that must sound? Lady Wi had a piffling rebel in her, don't you know. She insisted nosotros call her seafood banquet a clambake. (giggle) So edgy!

Weird.

Aye. Classy.

Budgeted Minister Wi.

Government minister Wi: How I wish my lovely wife were here.

Talking to Minister Wi.

It really is a compassion my married woman had to miss the party. She just loves these sorts of things. Merely piece of work is work.

I empathize. You go on up appearances while Lady Wi undermines the queen!

Pff, don't be ridiculous. Have y'all been at the punch? Take a moment to cool downwards, or you may offend someone less tolerant of your outrageous allegations.

Okay, that was a stretch. I just want to aid the queen.

(sigh) Yes, yeah, help the queen, aid the world, assistance the everything. That's what you lot do, right? Just watch where you run that tongue. In that location are people hither who wouldn't hesitate to cutting information technology off.

All right.

You're avoiding the subject!

I'll accept y'all know my married woman is at domicile with a nasty case of skritt crawling. If information technology'll stop your badgering, I'll take you to see her. But I warn you lot, she's very contagious.

I'll stick with the punch.

Wait, at that place's dial? Alibi me.

Have y'all heard that the queen is increasing taxes for country owners?

What? I idea merely workers paid taxes. Why always would you tax land owners? That'due south ridiculous!

It's merely a rumor. Probably bad information.

Take her a mini quiche, and she'll forgive you lot.

Approaching the couple of nobles to the right of Minister Wi.

Noble: I wish Anise hadn't invited the ministers. They make me and so uncomfortable! Especially Minister—excuse me! Are you eavesdropping?

Talking to her.

You do realize, I'grand sure, that information technology's rude to eavesdrop. Were you?

No, my lady. I merely wanted to introduce myself. I'1000 <Character name>.

Oh, I do beg your pardon. It'southward a pleasure to encounter you. I'm Lady Allisin and my companion here is Lady Brinda.

Are you enjoying the party?

Some of the guests seem rather tense.

A particular government minister makes you uncomfortable? * (if Kasmeer has told the player to ask for more than information)

Government minister Caudecus, of course. He surrounds himself with intrigue, cloaks, daggers, shadows—all that is nasty business. Don't permit him look upon yous, my love. Once he has you in his sights, you're doomed.

As you lot said, ministers can be unsafe.

Thank you.

I wouldn't think anyone could ignore such a beautiful night every bit this.

Oh, I'm quite sure some ministers prefer night nights similar this every bit sunny days. (laugh)

I hear one minister is spreading rumors nearly the queen. (if Kasmeer has told the role player to ask for more information)

Yes. Government minister Caudecus is behind information technology, but he never involves himself straight. He has others do his dingy piece of work. Like Estelle and Arton. They were clumsily talkative with him at the concluding political party.

I understand.

(express mirth) That's truthful in my culture also.

I don't become out much, only I would like to visit where you're from. Tell me, how do you find our fair city?

It'southward glorious. A real accomplishment. (before Kasmeer tells the player to ask for more information)

Kasmeer: She's non lying, only she's being evasive hither. Try once again, and press her for more information whenever she talks about the ministers::

Then, what were you saying about the party?

How do the ministers get away with information technology? I'chiliad curious. (if Kasmeer has told the player to inquire for more information)

I'm sorry. What were you saying? My mind drifted for a moment. (if Kasmeer has told the player to enquire for more information)

Kasmeer, did you spot anything out of order? (if Kasmeer has told the player to ask for more data)

Kasmeer: She'due south not lying, but she's being evasive here. Try once again, and press her for more data whenever she talks about the ministers::

So, what were you proverb nearly the party?

Ministers, ministers, ministers. (if Kasmeer has told the thespian to inquire for more data)

The pleasure is all mine. And what a fine evening information technology is.

Nosotros were just maxim that we won't let anything spoil our fun. The countess throws wonderful parties, merely these days, they're few and far between. Won't you regale the states with tales of your adventures?

Another time, ladies.

I'm happy to run across you both. Relish the political party.

After picking the second branch ("I hear one government minister is spreading rumors about the queen.")

Kasmeer Meade: Of course. Caudecus would be involved in annihilation that undermines the queen. Just he's not the one accusing her. We accept to observe that person.

Walking by Canach and Anise after gathering more data.

Canach: Y'all seem distracted, Countess. What are y'all looking for in this crowd?

Canach: I could lend my eyes and ears to your search.

Canach: If there'southward aught in item you demand me to exercise, would yous mind if I helped myself to some of your refreshments?

Countess Anise: Hmph.

Canach: Am I really then dull? Where, hither's something interesting. Would yous similar to know how long a severed head remains witting?

Canach: I suppose not. Exercise allow me know if yous need me for more than make debutantes and fops uncomfortable.

Talking to Kasmeer afterwards talking to all three nobles.

My mind is spinning. Then much information! Tin yous make heads or tails of information technology?

Nosotros've learned a few things. First, we know who was in court that day.

Yes! A farmer with a goat, two ministers—Estelle and Arton—and Scarlet.

And, we know that Caudecus lets others practice his dingy work for him.

We've also heard that both Estelle and Arton have seen Caudecus lately.

It must exist one of them. Allow's talk to Minister Arton outset.

Talking to Minister Arton later on talking to Kasmeer.

Equally I was telling my sometime friend Caudecus the other day, nosotros actually must practise something about these bandits. They are a hazard. I have reason to believe they're continued to the White Mantle.

Did you lot run into Ruby the day she had an audience with the queen?

I did. There were four of us in the throne room with the queen and Countess Anise—and the guards, of course. It was Scarlet, me, Minister Estelle, and some muddy farmer with a goat.

And the queen spoke to Scarlet?

Yep. She was polite as always, but the countess kept whispering in the queen's ear. It was making usa all nervous. Scarlet wanted permission to study with the engineer that designed the watchknights.

What did the queen say?

She respectfully declined. Scarlet was the final in line, and the queen left before at that place could exist any more discussion. Scarlet tried to say more, but the queen apologized and hurried out.

Anything else?

The sylvari—Reddish—looked livid. She stormed out, shoving guards out of her way. She was rather frightening, actually? I imagine that'south what Countess Anise saw that made her hustle the queen abroad.

Kas, does his testimony line up?

Kasmeer: His description of events perfectly matches what Anise told me. Minister Arton is telling the truth. He must not be the one.

Interesting. Give thanks you.

Afterwards talking to Arton.

Kasmeer Meade: Yous've convinced me. Information technology looks like Minister Estelle is the 1 spreading this horrible rumor.

Kasmeer Meade: Let's proceed at it. If we're going to face up her, nosotros'll need serious evidence to dorsum us upward.

Talking to Kasmeer

I don't much care for Minister Estelle. She has a brassiness to her. I'm not surprised she'd plow on the queen. Now, we have to find evidence to discredit her.

Like before? Eavesdropping and rumormongering.

Yous're quite good at information technology. A natural, one might say. We still have to be careful because if they suspect nosotros're working confronting the Ministry, they might stop talking to us.

I'yard read. Allow's go.

Walking near Lady Claire.

Lady Claire: I know for a fact that the queen had a private talk with Scarlet. How? Everyone is maxim it, and then it must be true!

Talking to Lady Claire.

Hello. We were just discussing how horrible it is that the queen betrayed us all.

That's just a bad rumor, a prevarication.

No, it's not. I saw her in the Salma district shortly after nightfall. She wore a black woolen cloak with the hood up. The just reason I knew it was her was because I bumped into her and saw her confront.

Hmm. If you say so.

Kasmeer: Hold on, <Grapheme name>. Did you come across her eye twitch? I don't think yous should trust her.

Kasmeer'southward right. I recollect you're lying.

This doesn't add together upwards.

Mind, but between you and me, I may not be telling the...exact...truth. But, they offered me a lot of gold if I'd say I was in that location. Please, you can't tell anyone.

Y'all're going to take to show.

Oh, all right. I'll bear witness that I was paid to lie, but I'll never say who paid me. I don't betray erstwhile friends. Still, I wasn't comfortable lying, but my son is ill. I hope the queen will forgive me.

Y'all're doing the right thing.

Kasmeer, what do you think?

Kasmeer: Her eye twitched when she said that. I don't think it'southward the truth.

I believe you.

Yous're lying. (same as "This doesn't add up.")

Information technology's a travesty.

You just never know who you can trust, exercise you? I feel bad for the queen, really. Looks like she got duped right along with the rest of u.s.a.. That Scarlet was no proficient.

Scarlet was evil.

I'll leave you to it.

Subsequently talking to Claire and calling her out.

Kasmeer Meade: Good ascertainment. I had a feeling she was lying. The queen wouldn't hold a private meeting with merely anyone, much less a sylvari with no political connections. This adult female will evidence.

Walking most the nobles close to Anise.

Noble: Y'all must be mistaken. My niece knows from a baby-sit who heard from a doorman that the queen—oh! I've said too much.

Talking to her

Of! You're...you lot! <Character name>. You're well known in these parts. The queen recently mentioned y'all were hosting a summit. She'd like very much to nourish.

That may be complicated.

Oh, I know. Those lies Estelle are spreading. Tin can you imagine our barefoot queen skulking through the streets at night, in disguise? It'south laughable.

You don't think she met with Scarlet?

In the throne room, yes. Only not in the streets. A charr emissary visited the queen that night. While the emissary's since left, the baby-sit who was present volition testify.

Good to know. Thanks.

I can imagine information technology, really. She's a mesmer. *

You're every bit giddy as the liar. That night, Her Majesty didn't retire until belatedly. She had a visitor, but it wasn't Scarlet. It was a charr emissary. They were working on the terms of the treaty.

That's helpful. Thanks.

Kasmeer, what exercise you retrieve?

Expect at her animate. It'south fifty-fifty and calm. I believe she's telling the truth.

And so she didn't meet with Scarlet? (same equally "You don't think she met with Scarlet?")

But, mesmers apply illusions to sneak around. * (same as "I can imagine information technology, actually. She's a mesmer.")

Information technology'southward my hope that she volition.

It's almost the Elder Dragons, isn't it. We all heard information technology roar. Nosotros live in fear that one of them will assault the metropolis.

I'll do my best to brand sure that never happens.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

After realizing she's telling the truth.

Kasmeer Meade: Countess Anise inappreciably ever lets the queen out of her sight. She and the guard volition corroborate the queen's alibi.

Walking near a servant close to Minister Estelle.

Servant: Is lying a prerequisite for beingness in the ministry?

Talking to the servant.

It makes me then deplorable to recollect that the people who run our city, our kingdom, can't get forth with each other. Now ane of the ministers is spreading lies virtually the queen.

I'll pay for any data you lot accept on the lying minister. *

That's generous, merely I have nothing to say. I'm employed by Government minister Arton. I won't shoot myself in the foot for a few coins.

Understood.

I've had some experience with ministers. Not all are bad.

Both my wife and I work for ministers. They can be similar night and mean solar day. My wife works for Minister Estelle. I work for Minister Arton.

Practice you lot like your job?

Most days. My married woman has a harder time. Her minister has a gambling problem. If she'southward winning, she's fine. If non, she's dangerous.

Would she know where Estelle was the dark of the declared coming together?

Maybe. Estelle often visits her old friend Lady Claire in the evening. Inquire my wife if she knows what happened. She'due south a good woman and won't lie to protect a minister.

Thanks for the data. You're a good Krytan.

Congratulations. If you lot volition alibi me, I'll go along my meandering.

Who practise you piece of work for?

I beg you pardon? I don't believe that'southward any of your concern.

I only enquire because I run across you lot there, fix to serve. *

If there's something you require, I recommend you lot speak with one of the party servers. I am preoccupied with other duties.

All correct. I'll do that.

You're right. Excuse me.

Information technology's a sad day in Kryta.

Later picking the second choice.

Kasmeer Meade: That's another witness who can help us prove the queen'south innocence. Nicely done.

Talking to Kasmeer (after gather all evidence).

What do you think? Do we have enough evidence to discredit her accusations?

Plenty. The servant'due south wife can show that Estelle met with Lady Claire.

Peradventure the threat of her testifying volition exist enough to close this downwards. What else?

We accept multiple witnesses who say the queen turned down Cerise's request.

I all the same can't believe Scarlet wanted to written report with the watchknight engineer. Give thanks the gods the queen turned her down. Though, that might explain Scarlet's acrimony when she attacked our city. What else?

We know Estelle'southward friend was lying for her.

For a pouch of gilt, you mean. Estelle must have coached Lady Claire. I don't imagine it will be too difficult to become her to testify for the lie. I gauge they weren't such proficient friends after all.

We're ready to face up Estelle with the evidence.

After talking to Kasmeer.

Kasmeer Meade: Looks like we've got everything we need. Time to betrayal Minister Estelle for the liar she is.

Approaching Government minister Estelle.

Minister Estelle: Gentlemen, delight leave.

Minister Estelle: I see yous've been busy socializing with the guests.

Talking to Kasmeer.

Don't forget that we know she's seen and talked with Caudecus as recently as the garden political party. If you catch her in a prevarication, call her on information technology!

Got information technology.

Talking to Minister Estelle.

Hello, busy bee. I must acknowledge, I'g a bit overjoyed by how you flit from flower to flower.

(earlier collecting all evidence)

I've learned a few things almost you.

Kasmeer: Wait. Are you sure it's the right time? I don't recall we take all the data we demand.

Never listen. Nosotros'll exist back.

(subsequently collecting all show)

I know all nearly you lot.

Kasmeer: Heed closely to what Estelle says. Once she'south finished, don't exist afraid to ask her to echo what she said. Press her only when you're certain she's lying.

I have a question. Is information technology true that you work closely with Lord Caudecus?

I used to piece of work with Lord Caudecus, but now I'm because retirement, I've started spending most of my time in the Ministry library. I hardly always run across him.

That's not what I heard. * (later y'all've listened to her once)

Why would I lie about something similar that? He's my boss's boss's boss. I don't work directly for him.

I met someone who says you lot run across Caudecus often. (proceeds to the next step)

Let me recall for a moment. I'll be dorsum.

Tell me more than.

Admittedly, I occasionally do small tasks for him, but he's nevertheless recovering from that awful scandal. He keeps to himself virtually of the fourth dimension.

You attended his garden party not long ago. * (after you've listened to her once)

Oh, yep. I'd nearly forgotten most that. In that location was a large crowd there. I merely saw the legate government minister from beyond the roses.

I heard in that location was only a handful of people there. (proceeds to the side by side stride)

Tell me more.

Fifty-fifty at parties, Lord Caudecus is off doing his own thing and I'g left to my ain devices. I'm just a wallflower, really.

Shy, huh? (later on you've listened to her once)

Oh yes. I barely spoke with anyone during that unabridged party. Cute garden, though.

A witness said you lot had an aside with Caudecus. He talked. You nodded.

Fine. He and I talked, simply y'all'll never learn the topic of that discussion, and you can't show it had annihilation to do with the queen.

I don't have to prove it. I just have to discredit you.

Kasmeer, what do y'all think?

Kasmeer: Hm. She keeps back-paddling. Press her when she lies, and then nowadays your evidence to counter her arguments.

Minister Estelle, can you repeat that?

Minister Estelle, can you repeat that? (afterwards you've listened to her in one case)

Government minister Estelle, can you lot repeat that? (afterward you've listened to her one time)

Let me call up for a moment. I'll be dorsum.

Farewell.

After taking the third co-operative ("Shy, huh?")

Minister Estelle: Hm. So perhaps I misspoke. Apologies, I shall revise my statement.

Talking to Kasmeer

She'due south a slug, if you pardon my crudeness. You can pivot her downward. Remenber Arton's version of events. He said Queen Jennah was short with Scarlet and that the countess even ushered her out quickly.

Got it.

Government minister Estelle's revised statement.

So what if I piece of work with Lord Caudecus. It means nothing. It doesn't change the fact that I was there when Ruby-red had her audition with the queen.

Did you hear what the queen discussed with Scarlet?

No, they spoke too quietly, like schoolgirl friends whispering and then no one else would hear.

That's a lie. You lot heard everything. * (after hearing her statement in one case)

I heard hushful words, simply I couldn't brand out any of them. The queen seemed pleased though.

Government minister Arton heard everything. His ears must be better than yours. (proceeds to the next step)

Let me think for a moment. I'll be back.

Tell me more.

I must have been lost in my own thoughts while the queen and Scarlet conspired deviously.

I heard the queen was escorted out for safety.

Y'all weren't in that location. Y'all tin't perhaps know how they behaved. Unless you questioned the goat?

I spoke with Arton. His version agrees with the countess'due south...and the goat's.

Yes, well, one person's politeness is another's friendliness.

That means zero.

Tell me more.

I heard the discussion "watchknights".

Tell me more.

Isn't that bad plenty? Do you know how many people died considering the queen gave Scarlet admission to the watchknights? Why are you lot still interrogating me? She'southward the criminal!

Minister Estelle, tin you echo that?

Kasmeer, what practise you recall?

She'south clever and glace, simply you can smash down those lies. Catch her off guard when she slips upwardly.

Minister Estelle, can you echo that?

Minister Estelle, tin y'all repeat that? (after hearing her statement once)

Government minister Estelle, tin can you repeat that? (later on hearing her statement one time)

We'll do this later.

After disproving this statement (second option, "I heard the queen was escorted out for safety.")

Government minister Estelle: Aren't you the nosy one. If you must know, I'll tell you what really happened.

Government minister Estelle's last statement.

Information technology doesn't matter what happened in the throne room. The queen arranged to meet with Scarlet later that evening. She didn't want any of us to hear them, and so she sneaked out.

You lot're sticking past the merits that they bundled this in the throne room?

Absolutely. Their foreheads were practically touching, they were then chummy. They agreed to something, and what else could it be?

You're crazy. Anise would never let Scarlet get that close to the queen. * (after hearing her argument once)

Oh yes. She was on it too. All smiles and "pet this" and pet that."

Minister Arton describes a very different atmosphere. (proceeds to the adjacent step)

Let me think for a moment. I'll exist dorsum.

Tell me more.

So, it was brief. A expect. A grinning. Possibly they'd already arranged to see later. I don't know. All I know is that I saw them under that bridge. It was the queen and Reddish.

Impossible! What Fourth dimension did you encounter them? * (after hearing her statement once)

Later, about an 60 minutes after dark. They were in the Salma District. I caught sight of the queen's profile and nearly fainted. Why would she endanger herself like that?

The queen was in her part with a charr emissary at that time. (proceeds to the next stride)

Let me think for a moment. I'll be back.

Tell me more.

I'one thousand not the only one who saw her. There was another witness who came forward, a noblewoman.

How many other witnesses exercise you accept in your pocket? * (after hearing her argument once)

Everyone knows nosotros were in school together. That'southward no surreptitious, but she and I haven't spoken in years.

Someone paid her to lie, and I suspect it was you lot. (proceeds to the side by side step)

Let me remember for a moment. I'll exist back.

Tell me more than.

Why are you working so hard to protect Queen Jennah? She sold us all out, and now she'due south just trying to encompass her tracks. Information technology was definitely Jennah, in a cherry-red greatcoat.

Yous told your accomplice to say it was a black cape.

No, it was a red greatcoat. I think.

Have you forgotten?

You're trying to confuse me. It was a red cape. I'm sure of it. Dark red.

If you and your old friend can't agree on the color of the queen'due south cape...

Wait. I retrieve now. The queen was in a black cape, yes. Countess Anise was in a red 1. Did I forget to mention they were both there? You know the countess wouldn't let the queen go anywhere alone.

You're proverb Countess Anise was there as well? What?

Kasmeer: Clearly we demand to hash out this farther, <Character proper name>.

Practiced idea.

Government minister Estelle, tin you repeat that?

Kasmeer, what do you think? *

Minister Estelle: Y'all've been whispering this whole time. I won't accept it. It's rude.

Seriously? All correct, if you would please repeat your argument and so?

Let me think for a moment. I'll exist back.

Minister Estelle, tin can you repeat that? (after hearing her statement once)

Government minister Estelle, can you lot repeat that? (after hearing her statement once)

Good day.

Subsequently Minister Estelle has accused Anise.

Kasmeer Meade: This way.

Minister Estelle: I recollect nosotros're done hither.

Talking to Kasmeer

We need to eliminate any doubt about information technology. If there's even the smallest risk Estelle is telling the truth...

She'south not. Only we need to hear Anise say she wasn't under that bridge.

I'm sure I'd have sensed if this were some kind of mesmer cover-up, don't you retrieve? It doesn't matter. I'll know if the countess is lying when we ask her.

Permit's go.

Talking to Kasmeer again

Anise is in the centre of the party. Permit's get talk to her.

Interesting. Okay.

Approaching Anise and Canach

Canach: In absence of your orders, I've been occupying myself by planning the extermination of this unabridged gaggle of preening fools.

Countess Anise: Stop. Don't approach her. It's an illusion. I am elsewhere. Discover me, and nosotros shall talk.

Canach: I'd thought maybe some well-placed bombs here and there among the topiary, hm?

Canach: Or perhaps I'll pick them off i past one with my bract. And hibernate the bodies in the pantry.

Canach: I wonder, would that reflect poorly on your office? I imagine I'd become a hero to the Krytan people.

Canach: And still no reaction. I wonder, Countess, are you even at all with me?

Countess Anise: Mmm?

Finding Anise.

Countess Anise: My apologies for the deception, but I must become to anarchistic lengths to protect Kryta.

Kasmeer Meade: Countess, Government minister Estelle is claiming that yous were there, at the secret meeting. She'south implicating you.

Countess Anise: Nonsense. I was at no such coming together. I did, yet, receive a mysterious message signed only with the initial East.

Countess Anise: The annotation said that Estelle was in a bandit gambling parlor when she was supposedly spying on our queen.

Countess Anise: Reminding her of this will be enough to make her drop her lie faster than Faren's nobility.

Talking to Kasmeer

That's it. The final slice of the puzzle. Now we have everything we need. Nosotros take the testimonies of Minister Arton, the retainer'southward wife, the lying noble, the guards, and the countess herself.

Only we don't have proof that Estelle was gambling that night.

She won't know that. If we present information technology to her with all the other prove, as if nosotros know her little secret, and then peradventure she'll confess.

All right. Let'due south go go a confession.

Walking by Canach.

Canach: It may have taken me a while, Countess, merely I've finally realized my part in your misdirection.

Canach: If you can hear me through your illusion, don't worry. I volition continue to depict the attention of your guests.

Countess Anise: Hmm?

Coming back to Estelle.

Government minister Estelle: You again? I hope yous're not planning another interrogation. This is a party if you haven't noticed.

Talking to Estelle.

I imagine Countess Anise had a lie to embrace up her presence at the span. Information technology'due south her give-and-take against mine.

Really, Minister, information technology's several people's words against yours.

What are yous talking about? Has someone said they'd bear witness confronting me?

We have witnesses who will support Countess Anise's story.

Traitors to the Ministry building. Traitors! They'll detect themselves in the streets before long.

I doubt it. The queen has positions for those who are honest and honorable.

Kasmeer: At that place are those of usa who see through the Ministry's lies. And our numbers are growing.

Jory would approve, eh, Kas? Good-farewell, Minister.

Last chat

Minister Estelle: I'll take you lot know I'm very well-connected, and I—

Kasmeer Meade: Your connections tin can't help y'all with this. We know what you've been up to.

Minister Estelle: What? What practise you mean?

Kasmeer Meade: We know y'all couldn't have witnessed this supposed coming together with Scarlet. Nosotros hear you were busy coming together some "lobbyists" that day.

Minister Estelle: Lobbyists? What are y'all talking about.

Kasmeer Meade: So much for subtlety. You were busy gambling with some ruffians.

Minister Estelle: Keep your voice down! That'southward a baseless accusation!

Countess Anise: Is that and so, Minister Estelle? Perhaps you and I should speak privately and sort this trivial mess out. Please follow my guards. I'll exist with you presently.

Kasmeer Meade: Countess Anise, thank you for inviting us to your political party. It's been an entertaining—and productive—evening.

Countess Anise: No one is more delighted by your presence than I. With all that socializing and skulduggery, you must be craving the longest of naps.

Countess Anise: Now that this messy matter is out of the way, I feel adequately certain that the Queen will nourish your peak.

Countess Anise: I think Minister Estelle volition shortly meet the value in cooperating with me rather than rotting in prison for treason. I may accept use for her. On a divide note, I do hope yous will stay and join the queen's entourage, Kasmeer.

Kasmeer Meade: You mean travel with the queen to the summit? I'd be honored!

Countess Anise: Yes, I remember that'southward the right play. You will, of form, accept time to relay the full details of your begetter'due south story at that time.

Kasmeer Meade: Oh, I don't recall the queen would be interested in—

Countess Anise: Nonsense. Now go. Say pretty things to my guests, and enjoy yourselves for the residuum of the evening.

Talking to Kasmeer

I tin't expect to tell Jory how you solved this mystery. She's going to exist so proud of you.

And of yous. That prevarication-detecting thing you practice...wow.

It certainly comes in handy. Though it'due south all the same a bit unreliable. Information technology works best on total strangers. I keep practicing though.

Will you be going with Marjory to the summit?

The countess asked if I'd travel with the queen to the summit. It'due south an honor to exist asked. I'll encounter you there, though. Who knows? This may exist my run a risk to get my title back.

That would be wonderful. Be safe, and I'll see you in the Grove.

Talking to Anise.

You must visit more than often. The party wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without you. The queen sends her gratitude as well. She can now nourish your height. I'll be hither as well, though...incognito.

That'southward wonderful news. I appreciate your back up, Countess.

If y'all have no objection, I believe I will keep dear Kasmeer with me for a while. We take much to talk nigh, don't we, pet?

1 terminal question. If you knew Estelle was guilty, why not just out her?

Put simply, I'one thousand also shut to the queen for my claims to be conceivable without support. I'd lose much if our beloved Jennah was incarcerated, and the ministers know information technology. That's where you come in.

I understand. Well, I won't go on y'all any longer. Good-bye for now.

After the quest has ended.

Canach: Ah, there you are, Countess. I trust I played my part in your charade this evening?

Countess Anise: (express joy) In that location, there, bloom. Y'all did very well as the sore green thumb at my affair.

Countess Anise: I'm sure everyone was far besides intimidated by your glowering menace to notice it was an illusion standing beside you the whole time.

Canach: Yes. I thought you seemed rather vapid.

* These choices raise the suspicion level.
^ These choices lower the suspicion level.

When suspicion reaches maximum

Noble: Oh, the audacity! Where are your manners?

Noble: Guards. Delight escort these...scandalmongers to the gates.

Kasmeer Meade: Oh no. This...isn't what was supposed to happen.

Talking to Kasmeer

Ooh, that'due south disorienting. My goodness.

What merely happened?

It felt like a mesmer spell. I think Anise created a diversion for us. Let's become back into the party.

Allow's get.

Ambient Quotes [edit]

Head Caterer: I assure you lot that the chef responsible for this will be dealt with at once.

My story [edit]

" I received a mail from Kasmeer, who informed me that Queen Jennah's attendance at the summit is in jeopardy. Minister Estelle claimed that the queen had secretly met with Scarlet and essentially gave her access to the watchknights. Had I not found multiple witnesses who would support Countess Anise's accounts of the queen's activities that mean solar day (and Government minister Estelle's little gambling outing), Queen Jennah would have been unable to attend the top. With her lies exposed, Estelle will recant her story—and mayhap cooperate with Countess Anise in hereafter matters. She really has no option. Afterward the party, Kasmeer was given the award of escorting Queen Jennah to the Grove. Peradventure the queen will be sympathetic to Kasmeer's by family troubles. Canach was also present, acting as Anise's escort and bodyguard since she bought his barracks. He's non technically a free human, having been previously incarcerated for his crimes on Southsun, but is serving out the rest of his term in a sort of work-release program for the countess. It'due south not entirely clear how Anise intends to utilize him, though I overheard them talking well-nigh him beingness her "eyes and ears" in the field. I'm non certain I trust him fully. He has a violent streak and is a fleck unpredictable despite his claims of reform. — My story
