None of my best ranch hands have gotten ill. At least, not yet."

Quest-Related Events

After you agree to help Constable Yabren, once she tells you her concerns about the recent deaths in Ontus, you will be asked to interview some people. This will include Ranch Overseer Merrarq, who is in his home, when spoken to he will not claim that there is anything suspicious about the recent deaths:

"Despite rumors to the contrary, Carvain Ranch only hires qualified applicants. Seasoned ranch hands only. We have no time or inclination to train novices. And we especially have no need of … rowdies.
Perhaps you should inquire at the quarry, hmm?"

I'm here to ask you some questions on behalf of Constable Yabren.

"Ah, I see. I had an appointment to speak to her late father. Unfortunately, he succumbed to that terrible malady before that occurred.
I'll tell you what I planned to tell him. No crime plagues the town of Ontus. Just a lamentable disease."

Why do you suppose Constable Ulbren suspected a crime?

"Isn't that the nature of lawkeepers? To see a crime behind every event, guilt as the source of every motivation?
Baron Carvain ordered me to cooperate, as long as it didn't interfere with the business of the ranch."

Who's Baron Carvain?

"You really are new. The baron owns Carvain Ranch, which feeds most of West Weald. This fatigue fever, as it has come to be known, is a burden on business, but you can't toss a disease in the dungeon.
If there is nothing else, good day to you."
