Detailed Walkthrough

Orcish Banditry

Talk to the Quester of a knightly order that you don't belong to, and he will say:

"I am (Quester's name). You are not a member of this knightly order. We are not sure if you can be trusted yet. If you were to slay the leader of the bandit band of orcs troubling our area, it might change our minds. Do you have the stomach for such work?"

Accept

The Quester goes on:

"Kill as many orcs as you can, but be sure to kill their leader, (orc leader's name). The foul band is hiding up in (dungeon). If you're not back in (time limit) days, I will know you are the coward everyone says you are."

Decline

The Quester answers:

"Why am I not surprised? Come back when you are ready to earn our respect."

Finding the Bandit Leader

This is a standard dungeon crawl. Head to the dungeon the Quester points you to and find the orc leader within. The leader will be an orc sergeant, distinguishable from other orcs by his horned helmet without a plume. When the correct orc is slain, you receive a message saying:

(Orc leader's name) is dead. Without a leader, these orcs will never be more than a nuisance.

Reward

Return to the Quester, who will say:

"Hmmm. Maybe we should consider you for membership. Not a bad job at all, (player's name)."
