The Tainted Child

Who are you that you’re looking for Hansa Gruber, some smitten lover? I know you’re no bitter rival, because Hansa would put a bullet in your skull before your mouth opened. She’s a fiery lass. Ah, you’re after the Tainted Child, well that would explain things. Can’t say I know anything about children as I don’t have any of my own, to the best of my knowledge. Couldn’t stand to put a bullet into my own child, you see? Never know who Chaos will touch. Bah, best not to think about it. Well if you want to do some investigating while we wait for Hansa to pass this way again, then there’s a cave out by the ruins of Greystone Keep that the locals call the ‘Lair of the Tainted’. Maybe your Tainted Child’s in there.

Travel west to the Ruins of Greystone Keep. Examine any suspicious material outside the cave that could divulge the secret of what resides within the ‘Lair of the Tainted’, the name the locals give that cave. Return to Friedrich Haelund at Blackbramble Hollow with your acquired knowledge.
