He offered to leave you one-fifth of all the money you collect there. Walkthrough[] This process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days and is similar to when the player waits on the map or in a town. During this time, the player will receive alerts for events that happen in-game and they will receive random sums of money. Occasionally, a message alert will appear, notifying the player that the peasants are getting restless and that further collection may incite them to rebel. The player is given the option to ignore them and continue with tax collection, or reduce the collection by half (the player is warned that this may cause a loss of relations with the quest giver). Upon ignoring the peasants, there is a chance (percentage unknown) that they will revolt against the player, forcing the player and a few members of their party to fight off several poorly armed peasants using only Quarter Staffs. You and your troops will also spawn without helmets, so be careful and try to not get hit in the head or you'll take massive damage even if you're heavily armored. Upon successful collection of taxes, the player will receive a notification that the quest has been completed, and they will lose relations with the fief that the taxes were collected from. To receive their reward, the player must speak to the quest giver to return the tax collections, at which time the lord will give a fifth of the money to the player as thanks and their relation will increase. Holding the money[] Once the taxes have been collected, there is no longer a time limit to deliver the money to the owner of the fief. This means that you can run off with the money with no penalty for as long as you never speak to the quest giver. This can be used as a sort of "loan" for an early game character when the amount collected is a very large sum and can be paid off much later once the player can make that much money on their own. Transcript[] You probably know that I am the lord of the (fief). However, it has been months since (fief) has delivered the taxes and rents due me as its rightful lord. Apparently the populace there has grown unruly lately and I need someone to go there and remind them of their obligations. And to...persuade them if they won't listen. If you go there and raise the taxes they owe me, I will grant you one-fifth of everything you collect. A fair offer, sir. We have an agreement. Welcome news, (player). I will entrust this matter to you. Remember, those peasants are foxy beasts, they will make every excuse not to pay me rightful incomes. Do not let them fool you. Forgive me, I don't have the time. Oh, yes. Well, good luck to you then. Collect Taxes[] The people of (fief) are outraged at your demands and decry it as nothing more than extortion. They're getting very restless, and they may react badly if you keep pressing them. Ignore them and continue Agree to reduce your collection by half. (Lord may be upset) Quest Completed[] Full Collection[] Well done, (character), very well done indeed! You were truly the right man for the job. I will promised you a fifth of the taxes, so amounts to (amount) denars. If you give me (amount) denars, you may keep the difference. A good result for everyone, eh? Half Collection[] What?! Is this some scheme of yours, (player)? That's less than half the taxes I'm owed! You have let them get away with murder as well as my money. What a farce! You can forget the money I promised you, I'm taking (amount) denars from what you collected, and you're lucky I'm leaving you a few coins for honour's sake.
