The Highroot Sting

A lizardman crew fences stolen cargo through the Highroot sting and cutting the fence breaks them.

Requirements

• Plunder level 70
• Slay level 63

Walkthrough

1. Find the sting handler at Highroot Bank
   He keeps his hat low. 'The lizardman crew moves three crates a week through my sting. I'm the fence in name. Cut the chain and they collapse. I'll feed you the timing.'
2. Watch the handoff at the sting
   Two lizardmen and a runner. The handoff takes ninety seconds. You count three crates, mark them with chalk dust on the underside, and let them go. The chalk will trace where they end up.
3. Follow the chalk down the trail
   The chalk dust shows on a crate wall every fifty yards down the trail. The crew is moving the cargo to a holding cave under the old prospect track. You count six of them at the cave mouth.
4. Drop the lookout in the grove
   The grove lookout was the youngest of the crew. You took him quietly and tied him to a tree where the warden's people would find him by morning. He'll talk.
5. Cut the crew leader at the cave
   You stepped into the cave mouth as the leader came out for air. The fight was short and ugly. The other four broke for the back of the cave and you let them go. The leader was the chain. He's broken.
6. Tip the warden through the court
   You drop the cave's location with a bard at the Highroot court. By morning, the warden's people are picking the remaining four out of the back of the cave one by one. The cargo goes back to its owners by afternoon.
7. Settle with the sting handler
   He counts coin onto the counter and slides a sealed envelope on top. 'Bonus from the cargo's owners. They asked who you were. I told them I didn't know. That's how it stays.'
