## West 13th Warehouse

* Talk to the gigantic man (Gray Rat) sitting at the Western-most table in the Inn in Noer. He will give you the quest and its reward as a down payment (5 small copper coins and 2 large copper coins). Note: the characters in this quest have 1 life so they are gone forever if they die and if one dies the other will leave forever.
* Leave the Inn and Meet Gray Rat at West 13th Warehouse. Be aware that the warehouse is filled to the brim with traps. Make a save once inside.
* The first section/room only has traps, so it doesn't matter if you sneak or not.
* The first door has a trap right in front of it and behind it, disable both of them. Unless you have high survival skill, do not bother dismantling the trap as it rarely works. Just throw a stone on the trap.
* Go East along the wall while disabling the 2 traps in the way. Ignore the doors to the South as the rooms are empty. The 2 traps here are the 'cages' (traps) and 'barrels' (mines). The cage is a normal trap while the barrel trap is a mine that deals massive damage in a 1 tile radius around it.
* When between the crates, throw a rock 2 tiles East and 1 tile North to trigger a hidden mine which will disable 2 additional traps.
* Continue towards the bandits until some dialogue occurs. After the dialogue, disable the trap directly South-East of you between the crates.
* > Here the guide splits into the 2 methods: Sneaky Peaky Like and Leggin' it.

### [Method 1] Sneaky Peaky Like (Method for entering if SCU >= 3)

* Entering:
* Start sneaking and just stick to the walls to your East then South. Continue sneaking along the wall until you reach the last door. There is a trap hidden just behind the door, disable it and enter the room
* Selecting the last option 3 times will cause the girl to be raped and you losing out on the 1 gold coin, you can load a save and still keep the CG)
* close the door and kill the bandit next to the girl.
* Leaving: proceed with the leaving method of Leggin'it.

### [Method 2] Leggin' it(If SCU < 3)

* Entering:
* Make a save as the bandit can end up blocking you. Run (Do NOT sprint, you will aggro all the guards a corner yourself) along the wall to your West and South until you reach the last room.
* If you have quick fingers, you can disable the trap before interacting with the door but that doesn't matter too much. Upon interacting with the door, line of sight is broken so aggro disappears.
* Enter the room and close the door behind you for safety. Whack the bandit in the room ONCE from behind. Talk to the orange haired girl (Cecily Eaglemore). It's not recommended to participate in the gank as you need conserve your stamina.
* Leaving:
* Let Grey Rat go through the door first so he takes initial aggro and stand in the doorway to block Cecily (do not stand directly behind Grey Rat as spears can still hit you). You can alternatively tell Cecily to wait.
* It will take a while, but Grey Rat has a lot of HP and damage reduction so he will eventually kill some of the bandits in the room above as the doorway makes it a 1v1 where he doesn't get stun-locked (as much).
* Should Grey rat leave the doorway, call him back using the ' Rally Trumpet' skill (you need to assign a key bind) so he doesn't get stun-locked, his slow attacks means he is only good offensively in a 1v1.
* If you want to speed everything up, call Grey Rat back into the room so Cecily can start attacking, note that this puts you and her in danger. After you can finally leave the room (usually 0-4 enemies left alive) go North, trigger the bombs using a stone and leave.
* Go back to the Inn and talk to Cecily, you will then be given a gold coin or 2 large copper coins depending on what happened to Cecily and can now recruit Cecily and Gray Rat. Talk to Cecily to recruit them, they are recruited in a pair. You also need the 'Weak' stat to be below 100 to recruit them.

## Tips

* During the quest, there will be a lot of traps and explosive barrels in this location. Ordinary traps are preferably dismantled by throwing a stone. Barrels are recommended to be left, they can be used to "silently" eliminate opponents.
* During this quest, depending on your actions, you can watch or skip the sex scene with Cecily
* You can kill some bandits before talking with Cecyle, bait the bandits to the explosive traps North of them (next to the door) and, once they are close enough, trigger the trap by throwing a rock on it, the bandits to the left are much easier to bait than the bandits to the right. Reinforcement countdown will only begin if all bandits are dead or you are spotted. You can abuse this by placing your own mines at the front door, where you just killed the bandits, and/or the back door you initially entered from. This means that when the count-down ends, the bandits will spawn next to your mines and blow themselves up (recommended to have Cecily and Grey Rat set to 'stay' to prevent friendly fire).
* Bandits do not trigger their own traps nor get damaged by them. However, manually triggering a mine will cause the blast to damage them.
* Cecily is a great DPS but easily killed, Grey rat sucks at DPS but is practically immortal and stuns enemies a lot. Getting Cecily killed leads to Grey Rat becoming enraged where he moves faster, does more offensive attacks, and becomes hostile to everyone (including Lona).
* DO NOT GET EITHER CHARACTER KILLED, they are great for grinding quests and 1 dying leads to both being unavailable forever.
* If Cecyle gets hitted you won't get the best reward(1 Gold coin)
