Finding the soldiers' camp

Journal bug tip

This task can grow glitchy if it sits open too long. After Geldstuck gives it to you, head to the roadblock quickly so guards, tents, and the Royal Customs Official stay spawned.

The camp sits on the northern road leaving Kuttenberg toward LocationGrund. Follow the main northern path until a small cluster of trees and the blockade.

Sometimes bandits appear just ahead. They are usually not part of this quest and can be cleared separately.

Obtaining the document

Your goal is their official writ: proof they are taxing the wrong stretch of road. Three common approaches:

The diplomatic path (Speech)

With solid Speech and Scholarship, you can avoid bloodshed. Approach by day, talk to the sentry on the road or the commander, and pass medium checks to inspect their papers.

Examining illegal toll writ with soldiers at roadblock

If you succeed, Henry sees the writ targets another route, so the current shakedown is illegal. Confront them with that and they can strike camp and leave without a fight.

Stealth option

Low speech but solid Stealth? Wait for night, slip into camp, and find the Royal Customs Official asleep in a tent. Pickpocket the writ from him and leave.

The combat path

You can attack the detachment outright. These are well-equipped Sigismund soldiers, so come prepared. After the fight, loot the commander or Royal Customs Officer for the writ. The rest of the camp is not worth much scavenging.

Conclusion and rewards

Return to Kuttenberg with the writ and give it to Franz Geldstuck. He thanks you for opening the road and pays 100 Groschen.
