== Walkthrough ==
Встретьтесь с Cin в [[Altar Brook Trading Post]] и прослушайте диалог. Как только это будет сделано, приготовьтесь сопроводить его караван до Shaemoor Garrison. По пути вы будете атакованы различными врагами и должны будете защищать его и караван.

Первая группа врагов появится при выходе из деревни. Она состоит из [[драконов]]; позвольте [[Seraph]] солдатам вступить в бой и наносите урон. Будьте осторожны, это может быть нелегко. Вторая группа врагов будет чуть дальше по дороге, это группа [[пауков]]. Опять же, оазбейте их и двигайтесь дальше. Вы будете атакованы [[кентаврами]] еще через какое-то время, когда будете подниматься в гору. Будет несколько волн, будьте осторожны. Пусть кентавры-ближники атакуют Cin , его можно будет потом оживить, а вы пока сосредоточитесь на дальниках, т.к. они могут быть более опасны.

Иным способов прохождения данного квеста может быть убийство всех врагов перед разговором с Cin. Это будет использованием бага и вам все равно придется вернуться в город и поговорить с норном. Cin будет находиться дальше по дороге и вам нужно будет поговорить с ним для продолжения квеста.

Продолжайте движение по дороге, пока на вас не нападет последняя группа кентавров во главе с [[NPC rank|Veteran]] Tamini Archer. Избавьтесь от них.

Проводите Cin до гарнизона , там вы обнарудите, что ворота закрыты из-за недавно установленных кентаврами катапульт. Cin жалуется и просит вас решить эту проблему.

Теперь самы простой способ избавиться от катапульт - атаковать их издалека заклинанями, ну или убить кентавров-охранников и разрушить катапульты вблизи. Ели подойти слишком близко, то вы рискуете сагрить патруль кентавров и попасть в зону стрельбы катапульты. К счастью, с вами будут двое солдат Seraph; используйте их чтобы отвлечь кентавров. Когда будет уничтожено 3 катапульты, поговорите с Cin для завершения задания.

Этот квест завершается в Divinity's Reach когда игрок выберет что делать дальше:
* "Minister Wi's party" ведет к [[A Society Function]]
* "Zamon's house" ведет к [[Search the Premises]]

== Dialogue ==
=== Scaver Plateau ===
Upon arriving at the trading post:
:'''Cin Fursarai''': We had a deal, you thickheaded sap!
:'''Otar Stumpfkopf''': You said centaurs. You didn't mention catapults. Double the pay, or we're leaving.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Double? How am I supposed to make a profit when you charge so much? Forget it!
:'''Otar Stumpfkopf''': I don't see that you have much of a choice, little man.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Money-grubbing [[norn]]! You'd spend it all on ale, anyway! How in [[Melandru]]'s name am I supposed to get these supplies back to the city?

Cinematic on first interaction with Cin:
:'''Cin Fursarai''': You there! You look like you can handle yourself in a fight. I need to get to the garrison, and my oafish guards just turned coward. What do you cost?
:'''<Character name>''': Cost? I'm not a mercenary. I'm here to ask for help identifying the craftsmanship of a piece of handmade paper.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': If you found quality paper in [[Divinity's Reach]], I can assure you — I made it. Reams of paper are like snowflakes. I know my pages as well as most people know their children.
:'''<Character name>''': Can you tell me who bought a particular piece of paper? I'm investigating the matter for the [[Seraph]].
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Yes, I could. But why should I? I'm a resident of [[Lion's Arch]]. Your queen's got no authority over me, and my clients expect discretion.
:'''<Character name>''': Please, it's very important. Can you make an exception?
:'''Cin Fursarai''': I'll make you a deal. The road to Shaemoor is dangerous these days. Protect me until I reach the garrison, and I'll tell you what you want to know.
:'''<Character name>''': Let's get started. I need this information as soon as possible.

After the cinematic:
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Come on. I've got to get away from these unclean masses. That armor merchant smells like a seasick [[krait]].

Whenever Cin or his pack bull is attacked:
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Protect me!

Whenever a fight is over and your character is idle:
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Quit your lollygagging and get me to the garrison.

Cinematic upon arriving at the garrison:
:'''Seraph Soldier''': The centaurs have erected catapults. Secure the gates!

After the second cinematic:
:'''Cin Fursarai''': You can't make me stay out here! The centaurs will eat me!
:'''Seraph Soldier''': Our orders are to seal the gates until those catapults have been destroyed!
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Why are you wasting time? Destroy those catapults!

Completion cinematic (if the pack bull survives):
:'''<Character name>''': Very well, I held up my end of the bargain. You're safe. Now, tell me who bought this paper.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': Safe? Barely! I feel like I was run over by a herd of marauding [[dolyak]]s.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': That paper was made of pulp from the seborhin tree. It's one of a kind! I sold it to [[Minister Zamon]]. He has exceptional taste.
:'''<Character name>''': You might be called as a witness if Zamon is brought to trial, so don't leave Divinity's Reach.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': How very quaint. If the ministry sends a formal summons, I'll come. At least they'll use decent parchment on the subpoena.

Completion cinematic (if the pack bull is killed):
:'''Cin Fursarai''': I'm ruined! Thanks to you and your bungling, all my paper's been destroyed!
:'''<Character name>''': I said I'd get you safely to the city, and I did. Those supplies were less important than your life.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': I don't owe you. I won't tell you anything. You can't make me!
:'''<Character name>''': If you don't, I'll have you arrested for obstruction of the law, you sniveling little toady. Now, tell me who bought that paper!
:'''Cin Fursarai''': You wouldn't! You...all right, fine. The paper belongs to Minister Zamon. Are you happy now? Am I free to go?
:'''<Character name>''': You might be called as a witness if Zamon is brought to trial, so don't leave Divinity's Reach.
:'''Cin Fursarai''': How very quaint. If the ministry sends a formal summons, I'll come. At least they'll use decent parchment on the subpoena.

=== Seraph Headquarters ===
Cinematic in Divinity Reach:
:'''Logan Thackeray''': I've been hoping to see you again. Do you have any news? What did the paperwork say?
:'''<Character name>''': Fursarai admitted he made the paper for Minister Zamon. He also agreed to testify to that effect.
:'''Logan Thackeray''': I knew Zamon was shady, but... organized crime? Setting up citizens to be robbed and brutalized? That's out-and-out treason.
:'''Logan Thackeray''': Nevertheless, he's a government official. I can't call him to trial without more evidence.
:'''Logan Thackeray''': Where are my manners? Allow me to introduce Countess Anise, Master Exemplar of the Shining Blade.
:'''Countess Anise''': Minister Wi's hosting a party tonight. It'll be a good opportunity to eavesdrop on ministers, their allies, and their enemies.
:'''Logan Thackeray''': Or we could search Zamon's house. The law allows it if someone's in danger or we suspect treason.
:'''Logan Thackeray''': All right. We have one shot, so it's either the party of Zamon's house. I can't give you orders, so let me know how you want to proceed.

Talking to Logan to make a choice:
:'''Logan Thackeray''': What's it going to be?
:{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Zamon's house. I bet we'll find evidence there.''
::Are you sure? You can't attend Minister Wi's party if you break into Zamon's place.
::{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''I'm sure. Zamon's house it is.''
::{{dialogue icon|back}} ''Actually, I'm not sure. Let's start over.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Let me think this over.''
:{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Minister Wi's party. I'll see what I can learn.''
::Are you sure? You can't break into Zamon's place if you attend Minister Wi's party.
::{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''I'm sure. Minister Wi's party it is.''
::{{dialogue icon|back}} ''Actually, I'm not sure. Let's start over.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Let me think this over.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Let me think this over.''

After making a choice:
:'''Logan Thackeray''': Your fellow nobles seem to have a knack for making my life interesting. Let's see if we can't return the favor.

Speaking with Countess Anise:
:<small>'''If Zamon's house was chosen:'''</small>
:'''Countess Anise''': Burglarizing a minister's home? How daring! I see why you and Logan mesh so well. I look forward to tales of your success.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thank you, Countess. Wish us luck.''

:<small>'''If Minister Wi's party was chosen:'''</small>
:'''Countess Anise''': Minister Wi's gala is the perfect place to investigate Zamon's sadier side. I'll meet you there, of course. It wouldn't do to make us share the spotlight during our entrance.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Certainly. I'll look for you at the party, Countess.''

:<small>'''Regardless of choice:'''</small>
:'''Countess Anise''': Later, my sweet. Right now we both have important preparations to make. <small>''(Appears behind the dialogue box)''</small>

Speaking with Logan: 
:<small>'''If Zamon's house was chosen:'''</small>
:'''Logan Thackeray''': I feel better with you on this mission. Meet me at Zamon's. There we'll find the evidence to convict him.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I look forward to it. See you there.''

:<small>'''If Minister Wi's party was chosen:'''</small>
:'''Logan Thackeray''': It's a plan. You and Anise hit the party, I'll hit Zamon's house, then we'll reconvene later.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Good hunting. See you later.''

{{mystory

| text = Cin Fursarai was hard to deal with, but I got the name of a man who bought the unusual stationary: Minister Julius Zamon.<br><br> I reported my findings to Captain Thackeray. He knows Minister Zamon and is eager to find hard evidence to convict him of treason. Logan has asked me to assist the investigation. I have to decide between searching Zamon's home, or questioning people who know him. We don't have time to do both.
