Last time we spoke with Volk again and he told Coen story about how our father Pieter got a horse and named it Conscience. After that we went to the city and tracked another vampiress- Lacra. Then we found her she was torturing a horned creature. Trying to get information about his village location. And she was not in the mood to talk to Coen. So we had to beat her in a fight before she agreed to have a normal conversation. She claimed to want vampire ruler Brencis dead. So perhaps we share a cause. She also said that she knows Brencis weakness. His sire Isbrand. But to find Isbrand we first have to find the leader of the horned creature's village. So Coen tried to question Nish(horned being) as well but failed. After that Lacra killed Nish. In a way this made things easier- Coen can use his blood magic to question the dead and(at least so far) it seems that the corpses can't lie. Then we destroyed a vampire general's Bakir's alcohol distillery. And freed one of the captives of Bakir'ssoldiers. This captive had lost everything but still wanted to give us something so he told Coen to go see some merchant and collect his order and keep it for himself. After that we questioned the Nish's corpse and got the location of his village. We agreed to meet Lacra there soon. Also meeting with Lacra made me question myself- do I want to go with original plan and romance healer Anca or not.
This time we saw a soldier who wanted to confiscate a silver item from some old woman. She claimed that this item was her last momento of someone who was close to her. We stepped in and killed the soldier. Then woman admited that she made that story up. The silver item has only money value in her eyes. After that she tried to convince us to buy item from her and sell it for someone else later. But we thought that this idea was both too risky and most importantly too expensive so we disagreed.
After that we went to see Anca. And she had prepared more books and ancient texts that could Coen defeat Brencis and save his family in time. One of those texts mentioned some place called the Font of life. It claimed that after bathing there we could gain strength even greater than that of Achilles himself. Anca also said that crutch dislikes all who have doubts about religion. Or those who follow a different religion. It was already too late and dark to go look for the Font so we agreed to meet Anca during the day. So after more flirting we left her for now.
Then we went to see old man Volk again. He had a spar with Coen. And did quite well for a old blind man. Still we beat him quite easily but he did teach us a few things about precision. He also revealed what really wants from Coen. Volk said that our father Pieter earned a fortune as a mercenary and then hid it away somewhere. So Volk was probably hoping to win us other with a few(possibly made up or inflated) stories about our dad's past. All in order to concince us to look for that treasure and give part of it to Volk.
After that we went looking for Pieter's hidden fortune. Along the way we saw another person who was held in pillory. We released him. And then recognized him. It was Vasil- our neighbour who kept shouting nonsense about us and our family in the beginning of the game. Back then we beat him multiple times. So he remembered that even now. Still it seemed that Vasil learned his lesson and was thankful that we saved him now. He said that he is going back to our village and invited us to come where at some point and talk more with him. It seems that even village's fool may prove to be useful...Or at least less harmful than he was at the start.
After that we finally found Pieter's treasure... Or what was left of it. A nice armor, a book and a letter/ confesion. Not quite the fortune I was hoping for. Also not something we could share with Volk- a blind old man has no need for any of those things. Still we followed a hunch and investigated things a little more. It turns out that Cohen's father Pieter did have a real fortune after coming from wars. But he felt sorry about all the horrible things he did as a mercenary and so instead of using that money to take care of his poor family he donated it all to some church. I am not sure if monks got him really drunk or brainwashed him. But all the fortune was wasted away. This revelation really pissed me off. If Pieter had not donated the money we could use it right now in order to save our family and defeat Brencis. We could have bought good armor, weapons and other supplies. or at very least have a nice romantic dinner with either Anca or Lacra... But nooo Pieter just to get a real Conscience...Why could he not stay a ruthless mercenary who only had one Conscience- his horse? Anyway we returned to Volk and told him this sad news. He was also sad that his friend and companion Pieter got soft/ senile and gave all the money to the monks. Still Volk will try to come up with some other idea how we can get more money in the future.
