Rochara says, "I need someone to go out and find Thalk, who I sent out to collect a number of outstanding debts, and has not yet returned. This person would need to be swift, strong, and capable; and would receive one of my horses as their prize. You, however, do not look quite up to the task." "I have another task for you though, while you work either your combat or your artisan skills. I believe I have a snoop here in town, who is selling tips on the races. Speak with informants about who it could be.

Speak with the informants about who it could be." Moeden Ullah You say, "You collect information, don't you, Moeden Ullah?" Moeden Ullah chuckles and says, "We lamplighters value information, yes. Do you have some to sell?" "Right now I am looking to acquire," you say. "Oh?" asks Moeden Ullah. "And do you have money to pay for it?" "I am not here on my own behalf," you say, "but on Trackmaster Rochara's." "I am sure that if you demand payment, she can find a way to compensate you," you say." "Rochara, eh?" asks Moeden Ullah. "I suppose I can trust that a debt to the Trackmaster is good. What's the information?" "Tip-offs," you say. "What about then?" asks Moeden Ullah. "I hope she doesn't think I'm responsible." You shake your head and say, "No, she is just looking to know if you have any information about who may be." Moeden Ullah shakes his head. "I'm afraid that I haven't heard anything about that," he says. "I will keep my eyes and ears open though, "he says, "and let her know if anyone comes to me with anything." You nod and say, "Do that. Rochara is a generous woman, and you will be wel rewarded." Erdur Talvari "Erdur Talvari," you say, "I hear people come to you with information." "They do," says Erdur Talvari, "I like to... keep on top of things." "Trackmaster Rochara would like to seek out some of that information," you say. "With you being owed a nice sum from the Racetrack." Erdur Talvari nods to you and says, "Very well. The inquiry?" You nod and say, "I don't suppose you have heard anything about some tip-offs occurring here at the track recently?" "Tip-offs, oh?" asks Erdur Talvari. He flips through a ledger. "Ahh..." says Erdur Talvari. "I can tell you that a number of individuals have had quite lucky streaks recently." "Qualk has won a stunning 50 gold over the last month. Jarikin has won 34. And Osoros 47." "And is there any connection between all of these people?" you ask. "Why, yes, they have all been seen in the company of Samarel, the track groundskeeper," says Erdur Talvari. "Having hushed conversations. Funny that, hmm?" "The groundskeeper?" you ask. "Why... it makes too much sense." Erdur Talvari nods to you. "Who else would be able to observe so much?" he poses. "And whose presence would seem completely innocuous," you finish. Erdur Talvari smiles and nods to you. "I do believe you have your answer," he says. Quest Completion Rochara says, "Samarel! I should have known." Rochara grumbles and says, "No one ever suspects the groundskeeper, but who else has a reason to be so many places and hear so much?" "Here, we usually reserve this for our high winners, but you have earned it. Come back to me when you've trained your combat or ingenuity, and you can have a chance to earn one of my horses."
