This quest is the second of seven for the Goldleaf Merchant Guild -> Extinguishing the Last Flames.

After talking to Shakatu at the Goldleaf Guildhouse for the Troubled Shakatu quest, he will send you to interrogate five guild members. Nogle is the first on the list.

Quest Description:
“Find evidence that confirms the activities of Nogle, the trade manager.”

Nogle is also at the Goldleaf Guildhouse, not far from where Shakatu left you. He’s at a nearby tent. Talk to him. He will tell you that the trade routes are kept secret and that he only let them slip once, while having a drink with his friend Grimzle.

Since Nogle had a drink with someone when he talked about the trade routes, let’s check the Tavern Ledger. It’s on one of the boxes in the same tent. Walk around it to the left to find it. Pick it up and examine it in your inventory. It’s a purple document.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
